welcome Tanya,
I am curious as well.....can you open up your diary?
marie, glad you are feeling good!
I am still following one one one but had like a ten ten ten day on superbowl sunday. therefore I have no weight loss this week but feel great!! hopefully something for next Wednesday:)0 -
Hello Losers,
I actually don't have any ice on my car this morning. More shoveling but the temperatures have raised a bit so melting was in order. Yay!
I just got back from Yoga Class, no meditation this morning, my instructor had to go to work at another job. I visited my MIL and brought her some bananas.
I still have 20 squats to do today. So enjoy your day everyone and be mindful of your eating. I am making some soup today.

Just be happy with your loss, at least it is a loss. I totally appreciate any loss as I lose very slowly and am compliant with my plan.
A new week ahead!!!
Nancy
Thanks. I will try to keep looking at the direction of my weight rather than the amount at each weighing.0 -
I hope everyone had a great evening. I love reading about the successes and challenges everyone is working on. You are all so inspiring. My weight loss is slow, just a few pounds over several weeks, but I feel success because I've made changes to my daily life that are lasting. And I'm not starving, that's the best part.
Wow, tanyabecka…31 pounds in 8 weeks! How did you do that?0 -
Only lost 0.2 lbs last week, so upping my activity by adding some extra steps to my day. Starting a very mild strength training for my lower back. This may not aid my losses, but it will keep me in the game this time.
Cmristine - Adding steps and increasing your exercise even by 10 or 15 min will help budge the scale. A loss is loss so good on you! Keep it up and strength training will also help.
I started a squat challenge on MFP and recording it on another site. First time doing this so I hope to gain some strength and strengthen my core as a bonus. I am doing the beginner squats and spreading them out throughout the day at 10 reps at a time. I want to able to walk after this. LOL
Have a good week everyone!

Thanks, Shirley. I saw that squat challenge and actually bookmarked it. I think I can do them if I go slow and spread them throughout the day.

Easter Goal: 182
13 lbs to go
This week I had a loss of .4 which really means I lost all I gained on vacation last week plus a bit.
How many weeks until Easter? Not sure I am going to be able to lose 20 but I plan to keep trucking on!
Happy Thursday,
Ruthie0 -
Good morning, losers! Happy Thursday!
Ruthie, congrats on your loss! Easter is roughly 8 weeks away as it is April 5. Although we may not make the goal of 20, it's okay..we will be prepared to forge on with the next challenge Marie sets up for us. It will probably involve July 4th.
This is a rest day for me, and I will just be running errands and doing a little housework.
Have a great day and Stay Strong!

Thanks Connie! Enjoy your rest day.0

Good morning everyone,
My DH is making omelettes for breakfast so I will join him soon.
A sunny day for a change and more snow last night and more to come.
Doing HIIT walking with Leslie Sasone this morning and then errands.
Stay mindful and have a good day!

I use my VivoFit and MyFitnessPal. Started in November and I am losing, but want it to go faster. Garmin VivoFit challenges help me a lot plus logging my food on MyFitnessPal. Wish I had a buddy near by to go to the gym with.0

Welcome to our thread

Thank you! I cut out all grains and most dairy from my lifestyle. I eat all organic: lean protein, vegetables, dried and fresh fruits, nuts, protein shakes, quest bars/chips and drink around 100oz of water per/day.. I stopped eating things like panera bagels/scones/cookies/lemonades as after work snacks and started eating things like quest bars and an apple or 1/4 cup tuna fish and carrots instead!!!
I also exercise for the most part 6 or 7 days a week. I do strength training with weights and machines, interval/circuit training and cardio (Zumba, kickboxing, piyo class, Barre class, bicycle, Arc Trainer).
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE message me for more details about my (drastic) new lifestyle. I love to help as many people as possible on their journeys as well.

Hi everyone, my weigh in is tomorrow not sure how it will go been sick the last 3 days and haven't eaten much so that could be good or bad. I think I literally slept 20 hours on Tuesday. I just couldn't move. Haven't logged in much so caught up on the post of the last many days. Congrats to all of you who have lost and all of you making the effort!
We have received 42.5 inches of snow in 10 days and apparently another foot is coming this weekend into next! My kids are now looking at snow days as days being taken away of summer vacation. Way too much shoveling.
Will log in tomorrow with my stats!
Thanks,
Kay, in MA0 -
Hi everyone, I Hope everyone is doing well. I have been outside all day and I am drained. I plan to take a shower and get in to pj and fuzzy robe and snuggle up for a little tv. I looked back and I didnt post my weight last week just my new pictures so this is a 2 week loss.

Connie (loves retirement) I like your thoughts about the challenge continuing on towards July 4th. I really see this as my new life instead of a diet. I've felt more hungry this week and not much losing going on. But I'm going to try more fruit instead of chocolate for next week. Happy Friday everyone!0
