Ugh!!! Between 1/12 and 2/10 I lost 5.5 pounds. Nothing in the last two weeks. I’m going on vacation 3/30. I’d love to lose 5 more by then (says the girl who just ate 1/2 a donut)1 -

The fact that you are working out with a broken finger is bad *kitten*!
The fact that you ran 3k in 28 min is #goalsaf

I am so busy with late nights I do not know if I am coming or going. No tracking, eating late at night errr. Okay breath Gwen
Yes, take a deep breath. I don't know how to help you right now. If you don't have the time to log your food, at least try to have healthy choices handy in the fridge and the cupboard and the car and your desk, etc. Wherever you might find yourself needing to eat. Good luck!0 -

Your post made me smile. You were focusing on the half donut you DID eat, whereas I couldn't help thinking of the half donut you DIDN'T eat!!!1 -
@karynclarke, a 28 minute 5K is a really fantastic time!!! I agree with you about the treadmill... boring, but sometimes a necessity!0

Okay. Things are getting a little stale around here. How about a step challenge? For those of us that have Fitbits, etc. we can track our steps for six days. We'll start Monday, February 26th and we'll go to day's end on Saturday, March 3rd. Sunday morning we can post our overall total. It will be in the March thread by then. To use it to push each other, post your daily steps with a running total.
Step Challenge - Monday February 26th to Saturday March 3rd5 -
Kidding, just to lighten my mood: I have been stretching myself thin lately so I just started Yoga to help me unwind. I think this will improve my outlook greatly. #yoga #pampermyself #unwind4 -

Thank you. February hasn’t been the best month but I’m glad it moved in the right direction even if it was a small change. I hope I have a better month in March both on weight loss and my depression. I miss being more active in the group x2 -
@Gwenfromnyc, I think yoga will be great to help you unwind!! Even just five or ten minutes of quiet meditation if that's all the time you had. Better to stretch yourself with yoga positions than to just stretch yourself thin!! My personal favourite and one I do every night is the reclining goddess! One I do far too often is the downward facing cake, or a version of it!!1

Calories: Yes
Tracking: Yes
Exercise: Yes, 20 minutes walking
Went out to dinner with friends this evening. I'm glad that I was careful all day so that I could enjoy it. My calories were close but still under for the day. The best part is that I have plenty of wonderful leftovers to enjoy tomorrow.

Hi all. Well we are back from our weekend away. I tried to do well with my food, and I guess the scales will tell all tomorrow morning. 8 hours in the car on both Friday and Sunday meant for very little steps and no exercise, but tomorrow is the beginning of another week.
I am looking forward to the step challenge this week and will charge my fitbit right now!

What a great example of "how to do Saturday night dinner with friends and still be under your calorie goal". Thanks so much for sharing, and well done!!1 -

Nice loss!! Maybe February wasn't what you hoped for, in the loss department, but you are still headed in the right direction. Remember, it's a marathon, not a sprint!0 -

Another fantastic loss, Kay! A solid pound plus!!1 -
I am starting to feel rejuvenated. Today felt like an early spring day...breezy, sunny and 8 degrees C (46 degrees F). My husband and I actually went for a short walk and then did a couple of errands. The last time we went for a walk was when we were in Vegas in the middle of January! I think I may actually get three yes's today!!0
