@craigo3154 Way to go on maintaining throughout your work trip! I know you'd struggled a bit with not losing too much weight while away from home, so this seems like a big victory!
And way to go for your wife, too. I'm sure she's happy to hear you say you're proud of her, and I hope she's feeling good and strong for herself, too. I wish her a happy birthday, and a happy, healthy year.

@LeslckaBod
Luckily I am not retaining water weight this week.I am doing 20 minutes of walking as back pain is better these days.My Phisio therapy sessions are over.And I have learnt few back exercises to do on my own.There are days when I am unable to move much still I tell myself to get up do this and I keep doing my household work.
In diet I fail several times when I eat carbs.Eliminating several other things though.2 -

@Wishfulthinning18 Congratulations!! Barely there or not, you broke through a barrier. It's like running a marathon. The first runner to break the tape wins, right? Well, you broke the tape! (Now to just keep on movin!)
PS. No worries about when you post. I only check and update the spreadsheet in the morning, anyway. No stress for me, so no stress for you! 0 -

@fe452436 It sounds like you're doing what you can. I wish I had some kind of advice or better words for you, but I hope maybe it helps to know we're rooting for you. This "team challenge" we're part of is just for fun, but the bigger better prize is better health for each individual. You're here and working on that, and the fact that you don't give up makes me feel more determined, too. I'm so glad to see you keep coming back, and keep on working! Thank you for being here!mthomas0228 wrote: »Username: mthomas0228

You all love me blowing up the forum with posts, right?
I'm going to try a question for the week again:
Question for the Week:
Think back to your goals for September. Which goal do you think you made the most progress on, and what did you do that enabled you to make the progress?
Looking forward to hearing what you have to say!1 -

@mthomas0228 What a month you've had!!! You're down 4.54% for September!! What is your ultimate goal?
@LesIckaBod My initial goal is 139 lbs, so a little over 4 pounds to go but my ultimate goal is to maintain between 124-129 lbs. Pre-child (she is 12 now) I used to always be between 105-117 but I think as I've gotten older, my face looks too drawn that low. I'm 48 & just under 5'5 in height. But honestly, I'm not too tied to a number, so I'll re-evaluate as I get closer.. there is definitely still a lot of improvement in fat to muscle ratio that I want to accomplish as my main goal.1 -
September 24
Exercised?: Yes (3km in 23mins - hills)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Short walk today, right on dusk.
Worked from home.
One of the people I raced with Saturday posted on youtube his goggles video of the finals race from the weekend. (I didn't record from mine, probably should have). He finished 3rd, only 2s later than me in a 4 lap race. Was interesting to see how my quad flies from the outside in a race as it was in view for about the 1st 1/2 lap (I usually never get to see it). Also gives a good indication of the pace these races are run at. (I'll post the link if anyone is interested).
Daily Strength challenge
Challenge for September 24 is lunges ()
3 sets- First set 10 or 15 each leg (if 10 is too easy continue to 15).
- Second set 6 or 9 each leg.
- Third set 5 or 8 each leg.

Hey I'm a top loser this week! Hopefully I can keep it up. I was doing really really well and then got a bit off track Sunday. I'm guessing most of what I'm seeing on the scale is water weight (or at least hoping so!)

Exercise: 9round after work then an evening walk
Tracked: Yup!

@inshapeCK It helped that this week I erased a blip up from the week before. But thank you! I put on the captain's hat because I thought it would help me stay on better track this month, and it's been working! (So thank you all for that, too!) 1 -

@craigo3154 Thanks for the kind words! You've done so much here yourself, so count my progress in part as a consequence of your good role modeling -- keeping up with life, work, your weight maintenance, and still finding a way to come back here and help keep us motivated!2 -

@eevang You're coming up on your 1 year anniversary of this weight loss journey, aren't you? (I seem to remember you mentioning October as your starting date). I've only been at this for about 6 months, and I keep wondering where I'll be in 6 months. You're my role model for staying committed to tracking and exercise throughout ups and downs! I'm rooting for you!1 -

Exercise: 9round
Tracked: Yes

So every week I join a work week hustle at work. It started as a friendly reminder to get some steps in but has now escalated into an all out step war! I'm currently out walking trying to get to 25k for the day just to make it to 4th! Should see some nice reasons this week because of it.
