Tuesday check in
Cals : on target

The only thing I’m consistent with these days is tracking! Sorry I’m so rubbish at keeping up with the check in’s the last while. It truly is a marathon3 -
My step totals are:
February 3rd- 3928
February 4th- 2778
I have a dr appt tomorrow for some pretty gnarly knee pain. Hopefully it's nothing *fingers crossed*
Google says a meniscus injury...yay3 -
Team Mission Slimpossibles has an open MOTIVATOR position if anyone would be willing to step up. If you would like more information, please tag me in a post or check with one of your team captains...
Thanks

Monday Jan 4
Steps: 16,258
Calories: ok but not good choices. I'm doing a backslide into some of my old lazy bad habits. Time to stop that
Exercise: nothing formal but tried to get in lots of steps 16k
Tomorrow's plan:
Plan prep and track food and get in a morning workout
You've got this. The biggist part of the battle is often recognising what needs to be done! You have come so far. Dont think of it as back tracking... you just relaxed for a little while 1 -
Tuesday check in
Calories; silly under but I make up for it on rest days
Water; over
Exersize; 90 mins spin and 1 hour Zumba
Tomorrow; BodyCombat and weights and keep carbs low
Steps; 15,6990 -
Still trying to kick this bug. I haven't gotten back to logging food, but am starting to eat normal food again (not just soup and ice cream!). No exercise either as I'm still getting winded just walking up the stairs. I'm actually feeling noticeably better today, though still exhausted by noon. Hopefully soon.....2

So glad you are starting to feel better, some bugs can really knock you for six. Don't rush back to activities too soon!0 -

Thanks everyone - we just need two more steppers.
For all those that signed up just post your steps on this thread. @broncobuddee and I will add them to the overall challenge spreadsheet.
How many days worth at a time?
@broncobuddee - do you have a preference? I don’t really. We both try and keep up with logging weights on a daily basis.
Well... now that I'm caught up... I have no preference. 2 -
I could not tell you how my calories and such are. This illness has me not thinking straight. Im averaging a couple hours sleep a night and the rest if the time coughing. I'm trying different medicine tonight. I pray it helps.

Howdy group! A belated welcome to February!! I got pulled into some frozen/broken sprinkler pipes at work so I'm sorry I went MIA. All is well now, however.
Unfortunately Jen got locked out of the spreadsheet for a couple days and I was gone so we're playing catch up on weights and steps. I may have missed a post or two when logging to the spreadsheet. If so, please let me know. Otherwise:
Weigh-ins due now:
@kindofangel2003
Weigh-ins due tomorrow:
@alys_plate92
@daisytripp
@Kres567
Steps due now:
@TeresaW1020
Again, please direct my eyes to your previous post if I missed it (and sorry!)
Thanks!

Happy February everyone! I'd like to extend a warm welcome to our new members and a welcome back to returning team members!!!
My name is Jen and I am one of the captains along with Mark - @broncobuddee. I would also like to recognize our two amazing Motivators - Tami aka @UTMom81 and Terri aka @tess5036 and many, many supportive and active challengers. @utmom81 is taking a bit of a break from the active challenge and motivator role (as some of us do from time to time when we need to regroup or focus on something during this crazy journey we are) so we are recruiting for a second motivator.
We are really excited to kick off another month on this amazing journey we have been on together. January was a pretty good month for many of us mostly because it had 5 weeks so we had more time to recover from the Christmas holidays! 😜
And I could tell that we were bouncing backs because of our placements in the challenge during some weekends and second overall for the month of January - woohoo! Go team!!!
As always we had great discussions sharing articles and videos to help us learn more about weight loss and fitness. There was some great information shared among team members and I am hoping that will continue!!
Along with our weekly weigh ins, we also have DAILY CHECK INS which helps us stay accountable to the group. We provide the following information each day:
Calories: over or under?
Water: did you reach your water goal?
Exercise: what did you get up to in the day?
Goal or Improvement for tomorrow: what do you want to achieve the following day? Some examples might be - Do you want to drink more water, eat cleaner, or get a work out in.
One new thing some of us have incorporated (completely optional) is a list of fairly specific goals for the following day we aim to achieve. During the next days check in we copy and paste those goals and check them off or not and continue to focus. Whenever I have done the specific goals it has really helped me focus the next day.
As you may have seen in earlier posts this group is all about support and motivation. We are not super competitive about winning the weight loss challenge each week. Many of us have come to realize that this journey is about the process, its not linear but hopefully you will see some progress. Maybe its not the number on the scale - maybe you will lose inches and fit into those pants again or be able to walk or run longer than you ever have before. Whatever you want to celebrate the team is here to cheer you on. And we want to hear about it because it motivates us to do better so please, please share.
We also have tough days. We want to hear about those too. We want to help you put the bad days behind you.
We also want to hear your questions because we might have the same questions too. And someone on the team will have some information to share for sure.
Weekly Challenges - each week there will be three that are completely optional:
Team Challenge - this is a challenge that I typically put out to the team each Sunday (at least I try to). But I am totally open to suggestions! I’m feeling a little low on ideas so if anyone wants to send me some suggestions please do! Sometimes I just rely on the group and motivator challenges especially if life is too busy.
Group Challenge - this is a challenge extended from another team in the challenge
Moderators Challenge - this is a challenge extended from one of the Moderators of the whole challenge
I'd like to continue with introductions. Please share your name, where you live, how long you have been on MFP, and anything you want to share about your weight loss journey so far - successes, challenges, goals for the month. Anything to help you get motivated and maybe inspire others on the team!!
Go Slimpossibles!!!!!!2 -

You are only one woman Jill! And you are an amazing one at that! If all you can fit in is tracking that’s a really good one to be consistent with.

I’ve start Intermittent Fasting recently and have not seen any change in weight. I do it Monday - Thursday. Does anyone on here follow it and if so any pointers? Should I be fasting more days in the week? I read somewhere that women should only do it a few days a week. Any suggestions are appreciated!2 -

Hi guys. I'm in the Washington, DC area. I have been on MFP forever. 8 years. It works when you use it. When I am actively logging food and exercise I am doing well; when I start to slack, the weight comes back. I love to workout, and try to maintain a good mix of running, strength training, other cardio, and yoga. Last year I started focusing on stepping up my running and ran a lot of races. This year I am going after 2 marathons - the first one is March 9. I'd like to drop another 10 pounds before then - less of me to carry for the long runs. Workouts are great, but the real weight loss happens in the kitchen.
The Slims is a great team. Welcome new team members!3 -

I do hope you feel better soon, best not to worry too much about calories when you are ill, just focus on getting better1
