Success Sunday- I watched my food intake, no snacking at night.I watched my bread and tried to eat more walnuts, flax seed or pumpkins seeds. Healthy meals, tried Mish Mash it was really good. Lots of exercise this past week. Going to see the Raptors and Charlotte Hornets (basket ball) planned my dinner and some popcorn too. Water only. Back on track tomorrow.4

Now that we are into the home stretch - Let's celebrate Successes for the month as well as the week, and start strategizing-planning on how to start next month strong.
Everyone has been doing great! (no matter what the stats - you are showing up and continuing to benefit from the community, asking for help, giving support and advice, just plain contributing. THAT is what will get you there in the end. )
@Navydaddjtc has asked about favourite anythings .... post them here AND on the moderators' challenge thread. Read about what some favourites of people on other teams might be.
Let us know if you are going to switch things up a bit now that warmer weather makes outdoor options a bit more varied ....1 -
I was beating myself up earlier but I’m ok now. Yesterday I had a double cheeseburger, fries abs a blizzard. Today I ate a ton of Mexican food but I’m so full I will only have a small snack later. Weekends are the hardest since I am out and about with the kids and husband and want to eat like them!
But the week is starting and I have a goal of losing 2 lbs. I think that would boost my confidence in my journey!
I also love reading posts. I don’t respond or comment much but I read them several times a day. Way to go everyone!!5 -

This is fantastic - fibremania! I'm glad you liked mishmash. All those nuts, seeds, and pulses along with exercise is going to having you feeling like a million.

I was happy to get out in the snow today! I went snowshoeing even though it is above freezing and the snow is heavy - it was some HIIT in the beautiful woods. There were many pauses for panting (aka "admiring the view").
And my stallion, Montana, had fun in the snow too.

Steps week 4
Sunday 9,221
I just figured something out after using MFP for almost 5 years now. You can search the web for meals/recipes you are making and it will pull all the ingredients and log them for you. It also will save the recipe under my foods. I knew you could manually do this. I did not know it would find the ingredients automatically!!! I am EXCITED. I have long been an individual item logger. You may have already known this, but for anyone else who had been in the dark about this wonderful feature, this is for you.
I tear recipes out of magazines all the time. I put in Orange glazed chicken and I knew it was Southern Living April 2016 and it found it in an instant. Boom. All logged. Ok. I’ll stop. But it’s the little things that bring joy!!
Have a great recipe finding day!!😊3 -

Hi all - sorry to have been absent most of today. It was mother-in-law errands day. She is 95, and it did her a lot of good to get out of the house, but it sure was SLOW! But all is well, and now I'm relaxing and catching up. Sadly, my workout was not too fabulous today, but I'll make sure to get a good one in tomorrow.
But look at us for week 3!!!! You all are amazing. Since I am not part of the weight-losing gang at this point, I get to shower all of you LOSERS with bravos and stamping feet. I know there have been struggles, but hopefully there is also a lot of learning from those who are finding their stride. Don't get discouraged if you're not there yet! It will happen if you take a deep breath and get your discipline on. It's tighter than Spanx, but it does the job.
Happy Monday night, all. I'll give you an update tomorrow on how many zillion steps the stepping team took last week, and how far that got them.
Sleep tight.4 -

No way! That sounds awesome. I'll have to try that. I just entered a recipe manually tonight. But I was just throwing ingredients together so there was no other way to do it but manually. I made Vegan Pasta Sauce. One thing I wish I knew how to do (or MFP had this capability) is to be able to share the recipes I've created like you "share" anything else on the internet. Oh well, one small victory at a time!

@jugar...I was wondering if I changed my weigh in day for April from Monday to Sunday, when would my first weigh-in be for the month, April 7th? Don't officially switch me yet; I just wanted to know first. Thanks.0

I’ve got to do better today!1 -
Talk It Out Tuesday ....
Something about Mondays this past month .... only one Well Done Monday out of 4 this month, and yesterday was the worst yet. It was also unusually high on fats and starchy-carbs, while lower-than usual on protein for the second day in a row (and that was barely JUST in the Green for total pre-exercise calories before evening munchies hit) .... which explains a lot ....
Something about knowing that I am "Declaring Maintenance" as of April 1 no matter what, combined with MFP taking away that last 10 calories, which put me at 1200 even per day for this final week ... while knowing that I have to start figuring out how to handle systematically phasing IN extra calories (~ an extra 30 per meal to start) AND eat back ALL my exercise calories (which I don't usually do) starting next week.
And making a switch in my usual exercise choice is being psychologically harder than expected ... and my hubby LIKES (and will miss) hearing the old soundtrack for the previous-length stretches .... and I am switching up for calorie-burning efficiency reasons that will challenge me (as well as picking something I know will be fun for me once I get into it) not because I feel bored or dissatisfied with what I have been doing .... for years now ....
It will sort itself out. But a storm of circumstantial change is all happening at once. At least I will no longer have "rush-home-bolt-supper-rush-out-little-time-to-exercise" Monday weekly routine any more.0 -

The first weigh-in for April will be Sunday the 31st of March. We always start with a Sunday, so that is the very first one every month, which is sometimes hard, but you also have that whole first week to be awesome. Saturday gives you the most time, and the 1st April Saturday weigh-in would be April 6th.1 -
Oh dear I have fallen down a rabbit hole!
I decided to digitize a huge pile of concert recordings I still have on tape and cassette - they have been sitting on a shelf for years, and I really want to get them in order and in digital format. But what a project!!! Some of them are labelled poorly or not at all. I have the programs for most of them but not all. I am going to be going crazy getting this done! It is freaky listening to them after all this time - but at least I'm very pleasantly surprised at how good they are so far. Some of them are with musicians who have passed away and I miss them terribly, so I hope to get these sounds out in the world for others who loved playing with and hearing them as much as I did.
So remind me frequently to get up and do my workout, go out and walk, ride my horse, and generally be human, ok?1 -

Well, I got in lots of steps and ran around with some kids, but did not do my workout. Now I have to do it tomorrow morning before 11. I promise. Thanks!

Housekeeping! Get your week 4 on ----
@MrsBeckiC1 - are you still with us????? Overdue for this week and last week Sunday weigh-in. Hope you're there or doing great somewhere else!
Overdue weigh-ins from Monday:
@Astrue

Due tomorrow (Wednesday):
@offitgoes
@Perla4686
thanks - it is already the last week... Time flies!1 -
So how far did our intrepid step counters step last week? I know it is Tuesday and you have been anxious to know!
Total steps for the week: 640,977 - or about 320.5 miles / 534 km.
This is a good improvement over week 2, but still not up to the enthusiasm of week 1. Of course, we have lost one stepper it seems, and some others have not reported all their steps yet. So it might be better than it looks!
Top stepper @reflectionofme at 103,951 steps / 52 miles / 86.6 km WOW That's a lot.
Second place @sue_01 with 87,944 steps / 44 miles / 73.3 km. Beautiful - you could have walked from my house to Richmond Quebec with a kilometre to spare. It's beautiful around there...
Third to @mari_moulin with 75,443 steps / 37.7 miles / 63 km and this is without Saturday! Would have been even more if she hadn't taken off on vacation... Vacation well earned!
And so close to @martinesther88 - 75,388 steps with every day reported - that's a fantastic 37.7 miles / 63 km. Keep on trekking!
Getting more steps into every day is a simple and effective way to reduce sitting time, in spite of my doctor's pronouncement that it is like breathing. Keep breathing, I say! Well done.4
