Our cookout is tonight, I spoke up and offered to bring my own food. They were happy to accommodate me and leave sauces/stuffing out of the meat dish for me. I used to be so nervous asking for any changes.
I hope your SUPAAAH GLUE stuck. I will be applying mine before we go tonight LOL0 -
Hi everyone! I’m Chantel and this is my second round of this challenge. I live in Washington, north of Seattle. I work full-time and have two kiddos who are just getting back to school. I am so looking forward to getting back into a routine. I have a weekend trip to San Francisco coming up and hope I can stay on track during the trip. Last month I had hoped to exercise more but it didn’t quite happen. I’m hoping to get back in the gym his month and lose 5+ pounds in September.
@cmm5904 Welcome back Chantel! Great goals, you got this!!0 -
Woke up this morning sore from biking but am on the computer plotting my next bike course while my coffee brews.
Working at home most of this week which makes it hard for me to not graze so I'm allowing myself to eat 1/3 of the calories mapmyfitness tells me i've burned (don't trust it at all lol).
@colinmcp I work from home and when I first started doing that I found it really hard not to graze, started training myself not to graze by making myself "snow cones" when I wanted to eat something. I put some ice in my blender and topped it with Mio, then after a while of doing that, eventually my brain caught on, I wasn't really eating anything and I stopped feeling like I needed it.0 -
@mg07030 I have been doing keto since July of 2017 and I'm down 60 lbs, it's the only thing that makes me feel fuller, less hungry and allows me the freedom to fast, I love it.Hi All,
Doing super keto this week! When I’m on it hardcore - I see some significant weight loss. I know some maybe water weight. Going to SoulCycle today. I’m a bit of an addict. That and coffee....
Good luck!!

It's made me accountable, work harder, eat smarter, and really has been fun. Picked up great friends along the way who are on the same journey. Maybe shorter trips than me, but the same goals, to lose some, and get healthier.
Thanks Ashley, you're a great leader and motivator. Looking forward to September!
You had a great August! You work hard, you WILL get there.
And thanks Jim for the kind words, I try, I always only hope I'm helping!1 -
@Merrettsmom16 Welcome to the team, Krissy!Merrettsmom16 wrote: »Howdy, Slimsons! My name is Krissy and I am brand spankin’ new to this entire process but I’m SUPER pumped about it! About me: I’m 41 and busy beyond busy!
I just finished my first year of graduate school at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston (Hook ‘Em Horns!!) and just started my second. I’m pursuing my Masters in Nursing as an Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner. In addition, I also just started (last week) at a certain school here in NC (Go Blue Devils!!) working towards my Orthopaedic Specialty Certificate. My goal in the end God willing (12/19) is to be an Orthopaedic Nurse Practitioner and assist in surgery.
Why am I here? Well, prior to having my son, I was a dedicated/motivated runner. I have completed 15 marathons, and lost count at the other distances. I am a Marathon Maniac, Half Fanatic and Double Agent (for those of you that are running nerds). While pregnant, I completed two of those marathons. Somehow, I managed to gain 50 big ones during my pregnancy. I guess I just decided to give in to whatever my body wanted me to eat.
My dilemma now? I’m so busy that I have lost sight of myself. I know I will probably never be my 125lb former self but I’d sure like to try. My overall goal is to shed 40 lbs in hopes of spending what little time I do have.....with my kids doing active things because I HAVE energy. I feel gross and don’t like to look at myself in the mirror. While you are all strangers, I need to be honest and say it out loud. Thank you for listening and for helping me to stay accountable!!
You are certainly busy, and super amazing, congrats on finishing year one of grad school!
I think that being honest with yourself is really half the battle. I had ballooned up to 240 on my 4'10" frame and I made excuses for it. Then I went to Six Flags and was dangerously close to not fitting on the rides and decided it was time. It was at that point that I felt the same as you, I had to say it out loud and then do something about it, so I told myself it was time to focus on myself and fix it.
I think your goals are solid and you will get there, you just have to take a little more time for yourself, because you are important too, you got this!!1 -

Wow! WTG Jade! Great start for the month.1 -
Well expecting 20+ ppl over for Labor Day cookout. Last year turned into 40 so I'm ready this time. Lawn looks great, got the volleyball net across the pool, badminton on one side yard and two corn hole stations on the other. Son brought his grill so we have two grills for burgers, brats, hot dogs, chicken and steak kabobs. I'm ready to pass the baton to my son as the family griller. Numerous requests for my world famous banana pudding, so I made that plus a healthier version (if there is such a thing). And the Frogmore Stew, a local southern cuisine with local shrimp, sausage cut in 3 inch links, quartered local silver queen corn on the cob and red potatoes. Big pot over boiling salted water with beer, Old Bay seasoning, throw it all in, putting the shrimp in last. Good stuff.
Got my exercise in early. Hopefully stay under my calories. No promises.

Today, my idea of a good time for the holiday is heading to the gym, playing a video game and doing nothing other than that!

Tracked : Yes
Calories: Over
Exercise: Fall Cleaning-never ends
Sunday and Monday are “rest days”. Starting Sep. 5th through Sep. 30th if I make it to 20 kickboxing classes I will be entered into a raffle. So it’ll be an excellent start to fall.
@gemwolf110 I know what you mean about the cleaning. Yesterday we overhauled the "basement", we got rid of the couch we didn't like and built a gym, and sadly, I still have some work to do, have to get the utility room/tool room cleaned up after we sort of destroyed it dragging out all the tools yesterday.
I think that's a great motivator, I mean you like kickboxing anyway and this gives you a chance to win something for doing something you want to do anyway!

@Sandie020 100 miles is hardly a failure, and also something to remember is you didn't fail, you just found one way that didn't work, now you can try again, with experience!!Goal to lose a few lbs this month as failed terribly last month. Also to walk 100 miles to gain another medal from race at your base just got my medal for August and have finally got a plaque on the wall to hang them
@Merrettsmom16 Honestly, most people find that they don't have to have the "all or nothing" mentality to succeed, one glass of wine isn't overly bad. And that's exactly right, tomorrow is another day and another opportunity to get closer to your goals.Merrettsmom16 wrote: »Goal: My goal for today was to just get out and run.

@SLIMn2016 I'll be fasting right there with you Tuesday and ThursdayGoal: This week I'll be trying to do IF 5/2 tomorrow and Thursday.
@mg0730 Awesome!! I try to eat as many veggies as I can and stay under 20 grams of net carbs, I usually have 2 big salads, or broccoli and an oz of blueberries or blackberriesD

Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise:Yes, 62 mins weight training, 40 mins walking
Comments: Todays workout wasn't great, a bit disappointed in my deadlifts, but that's probably because my back was a bit tired from yesterday's construction. Hopefully tomorrow's complete rest will allow me to have a great workout with my trainer Wednesday.0 -

Daily Post Monday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: Yes, 2 mile hike.
This weekend has been a weird one! Usually I’m very aware of what I’m eating and the calories and motivated to workout. Not this weekend though! Even though I was under, I had Taco Bell twice! The hike today is about half the length of last weekends hike but it was more uphill and I also got distracted and wondered off the trail to explore. I found a safe to eat mushroom that was literally like the size of my head! So I had to look around to see what other interesting things I could find haha!0 -
I am on vacation from 9/8 to 9/16. I won't have access to internet or scales. Can I weigh in Saturday Morning before I leave and have it count for Monday? Or does it just go down as a miss?0
