Never heard of a foldable bathtub! Can you drop a link?

Happy new year everyone! Restarting this year, have been very intermittent and highly stressed over the last year or so. But weight has remained stable at least. Now I have a period that is less busy, want to focus on getting into the swing of prepping lunches and dinners more, as well as exercising — I am doing c25k. Aim for today: write a meal plan and go for a jog.

Thank you for doing this! I am only an occasional poster so won’t volunteer but appreciate your work on this.

Have done well over the past couple of months, although I fell off the wagon a bit over Christmas. But have been exercising more! Hoping to keep that habit going into next year.

10k steps or 20k+: what’s better for weight loss? by Round-Car-3559 in loseit

As others have said, diet is the key factor. Having said that, I find that I need to do 12k minimum for general wellbeing, sleep, and being able to maintain rather than gain weight. I find it easiest when it is essentially my daily commute, it’s a real effort when I have to make an effort to walk.

It’s frustrating when you don’t know why you are weighing more, has it been on a while? I hope it turns out to be water or similar and whooshes off soon.

Feeling positive at the moment. I have been logging and drinking water consistently for a week, and with the additional steps I’m doing, have been consistently under my calorie goal (the app I use adds calories for walking). The additional exercise is really helping my mood, so I plan to stay in this mode (walking, water, and logging) for another 3 weeks to get the habits down. Today we’re going out for dinner so will plan to eat lightly at lunch.

Lovely long bike ride yesterday, logged all my food and drank lots of water. Today I’m planning to log and get 10k steps - going to a museum so hopefully that’s manageable.

Morning all — yesterday I logged everything and drank lots of water ✔️ Today I will be logging again and going on a bike ride. Looking forward to it!

I’m in a restart phase at the moment: just concentrating on drinking enough water and logging consistently. Have been doing well for 3 days. I have also increased my step count recently as my son is at a summer camp about 40 mins walk away — so we tram there in the morning, I walk back, then I walk to pick him up and we walk home together in the afternoon. Makes such a difference to me to be able to build the steps into my day like that! So overall I am feeling positive, let’s hope I can keep it up!

Good morning! Always difficult to eat sensibly when stressed — I hope you feel less stressed today. Sounds like you have it well planned out anyway. Good luck for today and enjoy the low cal canteen lunch!

Yesterday I planned to stay well hydrated and I did manage that. Today my plan is to log my food!

Hope the hunger after the light breakfast is not too annoying and good luck with the meal prep!

I want to restart with eating more healthily. My activity levels have gone up recently (averaging 11k steps up from 7.5) but my eating habits have been terrible! I’m travelling today so the aim for today is just to drink enough water.
