    @HASWLRS hello!! It’s been about 5 months I trod a new app but this one is the best hands down. I know it’s too late to join in for March but I’d love to rejoin in April! Good luck to everyone in the challenge this month!

    Exercise: 34 min BodyCombat Inspired video and 51 min Wii Just Dance

    Double workouts today so I could eat my pie for pi day without feeling guilty. I wouldn't normally be too worried about being over calories a little bit but I'm hoping to have a good weigh in tomorrow!

    Good luck on your weigh in! You've been doing well, I have faith in you!!

    I am ok with this, intake dramatically increased (on advice) and gym programmes much more intense. Need to get comfortable in the new ways and pretty certain it should come off. Believe what I am doing is right so need to push on

    @drea201, hello, Drea!! Love to have you back! I was actually thinking about you yesterday, and wondering how you were doing! Weird, huh? Yes, it is too late for March, but look for the registration thread for April to be open sometime during the last week of March.

    March 14
    Weigh in day- Thursday
    Previous- 183.5
    Current- 185
    Definitely not the direction I want it to go.😐
    I guess I need to evaluate what and when I’m eating.

    Mini Challenge
    Tracking- yes
    Calories- yes
    Exercise- yes (1 mile walk)

    @Nicoletime4me, hugs to you, my friend....I know you are working hard at this. Yes, reevaluation is in order. If there is anything specific you want advice on, don't be afraid to ask! There are many of us here who will not hesitate to offer up an opinion.

    Weigh in week: March Week 2
    Weigh in day: Friday
    Previous Week's weight: 210.4
    Todays Weight: 207.8

    I cannot believe this loss!! In the 6 weeks before starting this group challenge I felt in such a rut and was only posting losses of a half lb one week and maybe max of 1lb the next week.
    This has helped so much ☺️

    @Coral333, I am so happy that being part of this group is helping you to stay on track, and to put in the hard work day after day!! And seeing and hearing about your success is bound to inspire someone else here who may be struggling!!

    Superb two and a half pound loss, and into the single digits as an added bonus!!

    @Tracie_Lord, you are correct to believe that what you are doing is right, and that you just have to be patient and push through and the results will follow. You are fuelling your body for better things to come!

    Meant to post yesterday and ran out of time. Gave myself a couple of extra days before weigh-in this week since I didn’t have a great on-plan weekend. Drank lots of water and it helped.

    PW: 224.4
    CW: 221.0

    Won’t expect such a big loss each week, but I think the previous week was slightly elevated due to TOM. Glad to be back on track and working hard to keep the weight going down and support the team.

    @pkg1998, I am very happy for you for your three pound plus loss, but even more happy for you that you are back on track!!!

    Weight before vacation: 253.3
    Weight after vacation: 254.4

    I am okay with this. Only 1lb up from two weeks ago and after eight days of vacation. I am still down over 21 lbs from my starting weight.
    I am going to take this as the “second phase” in my weight loss journey.

    @erikNJ, I am happy for you, too!! One pound is a small price to pay for a week in Jamaica during the winter!! And yes, focus on the positive....still down 21 pounds!! And like I said, it's all downhill from here!!

    @mikea2g, Oh, I am so sorry that you are still sick!! Well, at least the scale isn't also making you feel sick with a gain!! Maintaining is good....let your body focus only on one thing right now, which is getting better!!

    @womanofgod4893, every little loss adds up, and it's definitely better than a gain!

    Thursday

    I din't get in any exercise; couldn't seem to extract my butt from my chair!! But I didn't cave in and grab some munchies while I was sitting. That was huge!! I logged my food, and was only over by 61, so exercise would have definitely given me a "yes" day. But it was a good day, nonetheless.

    Tonight I have curling, so if I make good choices and leave some room for the after curling meal, I will be okay. Tomorrow will be a different story, as we have our niece's Buck & Doe. Not sure how crazy I want to get, but I also want to be supportive!!
