Weekly Weigh In 1/25- 1/31

Yes!! on the loss!!

I'm curious- what do you have the move goal set to for your apple watch? 

It's at 700. It used to be higher, but that was in the summer when it was much easier to get completed since it was warmer & more daylight.

Wow-- ok. I left mine to the default setting at first, and increased a tiny bit. I'm thinking of increasing it to 500 now.  

Six days on Optifast and what is, for me, an 1100 calorie diet. Down nine pounds!

The hardest thing with following the program is avoiding caffeine. It's not like I have to give it up, my doctor-given goal is no more than 2 cans of diet soda a day. Most days I double that. It's still less than I used to drink and I am drinking a ton more water, but it's something I'm trying to work on.

The other issue is getting in all 7 'mini meals' in a day. I tend to get six and a half in -- I'm supposed to do 6 products and a 150 calorie 'meat and green veggies' meal, and I tend to do 5 products and a 200-250 calorie meal.

Had a lot going on with the loss of my mother so I am honestly glad I did not gain. Two lbs until I reach my personal goal, 11 lbs to my surgeons original goal, and 15 until his revised goal. I see him for my 9 mo follow up on the 18th and I would really like to make my goal! Focusing on myself right now to get through this rough time. 

My condolences on the loss of your mom. Glad you didn't turn to food to cope with what you're going thru. hugs 

Thank you, it has been a very difficult time for me.

next goal: Onederland!!!

Fitness goal: 3 mile runs still I'm doing it-- just gotta grow comfortable with it-- everything in me wants to stop at 2.5 miles!

The idea of running is foreign to me.... good for you!

Holding pattern on, but only temporary! 

I'm trying to not let the next few pounds be a big deal, but omg it's a huge deal - lol.  I don't want it to turn into a thing, mental block or whatever, so I'm trying to ignore it.  Somehow, even as I am thinking and typing this, I don't think it's going to work.
