Happy to have maintained post vacation.
I have a 5K on Oct 3 (two weeks!) and I'm not quite where I want to be distance-wise and speed-wise for running, so I'm going to be pushing myself this next week... hopefully that will provide some results!0 -

Better late than never, thanks mamarundrc for setting up this challenge. I'm being ambitious for my goal, but might as well try.0 -
It is great to see so many joining this challenge!0

Little late to the party, but better late than never, right? I've been weighing in every Friday for another challenge that just ended so this is perfect timing!

This isn't an actual gain. I retain water like crazy and it can affect my weigh ins by as much as 4 lbs at a time. I was feeling heavy when I weighed myself, so I figured this would be the result.
I was pretty close on my goals for the week. I had my protein shakes on Saturday and Sunday. I only missed one workout this week, which was last night. My fiance was sick, so he wasn't able to pick up my daughter from dance. I had to use my workout time to get her. I didn't feel too bad about it though, I already had 2 hours of workouts in, so another half hour wasn't going to hinder me.

Maintained once again. This was a surprise. I thought for sure I would be up. I survived 3 birthday celebrations and a retirement party without gaining. I will take that as a win. Also, I joined a gym which will help me be more accountable to working out.
Recap on my goals for the week
- Log all my food 3/7 days
-70000+ steps (for the week) per fit bit- MET
-Run 10 miles (total)- 3/10
-At least 2 other workouts (or portions of workouts) that are NOT running. 1/2
Not the best week but could have been worse.
Goals for next week are going to the same until I can achieve them all!

I'll jump in. I may forget about this in future weeks, but will probably go with a weigh-in date on Sat.:

I hope you don't mind if I jump in! This is easier for me to track than me just relying on myself to eventually get to my goal. LOL

Okay, so clearly I've had a small backslide. I was feeling defeated which led to a cycle of overeating and underexercising. But I think I'm on my way to getting it back under control and seeing some good numbers this week.
Goals for Week 4:
- 8 glasses of water/day
- 30min of exercise/day
- tea instead of snacks after kids are in bed0 -

I've decided I'm only going to post numbers once a month, so my next check in will be on October 23 and finally on November 20. Because of the water retention issues I have, once a week will not be an accurate reflection of the progress I am actually making. Once a month will give me the opportunity to weigh myself over several days to find the correct weight.
My goal this week is to avoid junk food. I have had serious cravings over the past couple days and since I am an "all or nothing" type of person, I can't just have something small to satisfy me, so I need to get through it without indulging.
I always have a treat once a week - Friday night - that I get to look forward to, so I just have to get there and I'll feel accomplished. 0 -
I've been on Weight Watchers before but this is my first challenge for My Fitness Pal. So I hope I'm doing this right. Going to quote the classic: "Better Late Than Never!" Haha

I didn't have a great week food and logging so instead of getting on the scale and being discouraged I decided to skip this weeks weigh in.
I did manage to get to the gym 3 times this week, ran a race and helped my husband move 3 tons worth of pellets for our pellet stove. I also logged 80000+ steps on my Fit Bit so I feel like I have been successful at increasing my activity level. Now to just remember to log my food and drink water!0
