    Congratulations to @Nuggetbrain for the most pounds lost this month out of the entire challenge!! WTG!! Also congrats to our honorable mentions @GingerPwr and @carlsoda Awesome job ladies!!

    I am pooped! I am done with work, now waiting for everything to be reviewed and then I can close down my very short career in chart auditing. Not a total loss, I was paid very well and now I know that it is not for me. I also know I would much rather be doing patient care than be looking at a computer.

    I hope everyone is doing well, I know those who have checked in seem to be starting the month off right! I think April will be our month!

    @DananaNanas You and that bella beat Lol! I hope you find it. I like your goals for the day. Keep it simple and build on that. You really have a good plan between all the dancing you get in, the IF and your healthy diet. I think sometimes you don't give yourself enough credit for how well you are doing. You really can do this!!
    @Shirin_K Looks like you are set for another good day! I drink peppermint tea because of @Mrsbell8well too! Lol! She should get a little commission from the tea company!
    @nstephenson01 I was wondering if you were still having trouble getting on here. Ugh! I was hoping that was fixed. I use the computer most of the time so I have been ok. I will be thinking of you tomorrow. I know it is going to be tough. Hugs!
    @hope002 What a great start to April! Awesome day!
    @kirsten11872 I agree, one day at a time. If it doesn't go as planned, you didn't fail or mess up, just see what you can do better next time and tweek your plan. Before you know it there will be way more good days than bad days. You really got this!! By the way, I have my "just a Jersey Girl in a Pennsylvania world" shirt on . Lol!
    @pacsnc6 I agree, you definitely had a good month! The scale isn't the only indicator of success! I love your goals for April too. I am looking forward to nicer weather to get outside to walk too.
    @bmaison2014 We can change your weigh in day to Sunday. Do you want to keep this weeks on Monday? I thought you logged a loss on just the regular MFP newsfeed on that day so do you want to use that weight for this week and then start Sundays after that? I will wait to hear back before I switch you.
    @GingerPwr Looks like you are starting the month off right on track! Great job! Thank you for posting the challenge!
    @Mrsbell8well Keeping your Mom in my prayers. Hugs to you too . Hang in there

    Water: 10 cups
    Exercise: 45 min walking video
    Steps: 10,359 steps

    It looks like it is going to be a nice day. Hoping to get outside and get a walk in later. Debating if I should do the Leslie Sansone video too. I do get a lot of steps in with that. I am a little bummed, my weight is up about 3 lbs but I don't know why. It has been for 2 days. I haven't done anything different so I am hoping it is hormonal or fluid. I am not going to stress and drink more water today. Half way through the week! Have a great day everyone!

    @hope002 Another fab day! You are doing great!
    @GingerPwr Nice loss!
    @Mrsbell8well That is basically a maintain. I think that maintaining is good especially after your emotional/stressful weekend and what is going on with your Mom too. Keep doing what you are doing, the scale will catch up.

    Daily Check in: Tuesday
    Food: Logged, over
    Water: OK
    Exercise & steps: 3 mile dog walk; 15,950 steps

    Hubby hit the road at 4 am this morning. Getting up to an empty house was harder than I thought it would be. Today's plan is just to stay super busy.

    Whoo Hoo @cyndiesstuff is back!! glad to hear surgery went well and pain is minimal. Shout out to Jim for his wonderful care taking! Be sure to listen to your body and don't rush into too much too fast.

    @Mrsbell8well So sorry to hear your mom is still struggling.

    @sleepymom5 Congrats on finishing up the chart audit project. Now you can enjoy your time at the shore!

    I'll focus on my April goals when I'm in a better frame of mine. Gotta run.. can't sit too long or I get weepy. Make it a great day team!

    Daily check in for Tuesday
    Food - logged & on target
    Water - I don’t know (that’s not too good)
    Exercise - Physio & 10983 steps, including an exercise walk (hurray)!

    My leg continues to feel pretty good! Good enough to go for a long walk, so fingers crossed!

    @cyndiestuff - So glad that the surgery went well, that the pain is not bad and you are recovering nicely. I had an ovary & tube removed 5 years ago for cysts. It was a laporascopic surgery, but I had that post surgery exhaustion. It can be hard for a busy person to rest, but it is so important for recovery. So keep those feet up and take some naps! Sending you a big hug!

    @cyndiesstuff - welcome back! I am so glad surgery is over and you're on the other side healing. What a wonderful man you have too!!

    @sleepymom5 - YAY you are done with your chart auditing. Good to learn office work isn't for you. See...I could never be a nurse..never in a million years. I like my tidy, clean, germ free office :) (and my mom so wanted me to be a nurse and I knew it wasn't for me!)

    @Mrsbell8well - hope your mom is ok. Poor thing.

    Here's a couple of recipes Pam asked for:

    Mug Muffin:

    In a microwaveable cup mix: 1 egg, 1 tbsp oil or melted butter, dash of salt, 1/4 tsp baking powder, a splash of vanilla, a sprinkling of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp (or more to taste) of a sweetener. I use swerve as it has no aftertaste. Mix well. Add in 4 tbsps of almond flour and mix well. Add in some blueberries (I use frozen wild), mix. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Adjust cooking time to your microwave. My is a cheap weak one :) Enjoy!

    Guacamole:

    2 ripe avocados - mashed
    add: 1 diced tomato (1 used a small one)
    salt
    pepper
    garlic powder
    onion powder
    cilantro

    adjusted spices to taste. I used more cilantro than I did garlic and onion powder.

    Mix and enjoy. It keeps well in the fridge is you layer plastic wrap on top of the guac to keep the air out.

    Hello beautiful people! I hope you all are doing well. I went to see the nutritionist on Monday, we went over my meal planning for the past 2 weeks. She gave me some insights on what I can do differently to manage my weekend eating, which was to carry small snacks with me or if I'm going to dinner look at the menu ahead of time when I am not hungry.

    Monday and Tuesday were good workout, eating and water drinking days. 2 days down 5 days to go.

    Glad you were able to get in and see the nutritionist! I hope it really helps you! Keep us updated!! :)

    Water: 40 oz
    Exercise and steps: 20 min yoga and 11,878 steps

    I did yoga and mostly stuck to my food plan yesterday. I’ve had a sore throat the past few days so that’s a bit frustrating. It’s like a repeat of the beginning of March! But what I learned from March was that a sudden gain from sickness will eventually all come off… so if I’m up tomorrow I will try not to freak out!

    @cyndiesstuff I’m glad to hear surgery went well and happy to have you back. You were missed!

    @nstephenson01 Thinking of you! That’s so tough!

    @bmaison2014 Thank you! Sorry for being annoying! Lol! I did message the higher ups to change your weigh in to Sunday.
    @nstephenson01 Hugs! Glad you have your two furry buddies with you. xoxo
    @gottagetthisdown Weekends can be tough. Those are great tips from the nutritionist. I also try to plan as much as I can for the weekends. That helps too. Looks like you are starting April off right! Great job!!
    @Cafelelia I did see you posted that walk and at a pretty quick pace (for us non runners) . Hope you felt good after. I am so happy you are starting to feel back to normal. Just in time for the nice weather!
    @carlsoda I actually think I could make both of those! Lol! Thank you for posting! Looks like you are continuing your awesomeness into April! You are off to a great start!
    @Shirin_K I hope whatever it is goes away soon. You have been doing great so don't let the scale derail you if you are up. Illness can do that.

    Check in for: Tuesday 4/2
    Logged food: Yes! I did! Squeeked in with like 40 calories to spare. I found 3 scone listings with grams on MFP and took the average of them and logged that.
    Water: I don't know, I need to get back to tracking this. I've been taking my vitamins (5 days a week anyway lol.. I keep them at the office because I figure 5 days is better than 2 on the weekends and I'll never remember them on the weekends anyway!) so this is gross but I try to have clearish urine by the time I go to bed lol They turn it like BRIGHT green :D
    Steps or exercise: Blah, none. Teaching 5 classes.. so light stretching I guess.

    I'm so frustrated with one client at work. I need our employees' timecards by end of day Monday and she didn't send them to me until 7:00 last night. Of course I'm teaching at that point so I can't exactly get to it right away. I got home around 9:45 and I was up until almost midnight processing them so our employees get paid close to on time :( I wanted to get up early before work this morning but that didn't happen...


    @sleepymom3 I know!!! I'm bad at losing stuff as it is but the bracelet part of it is broken so I had been putting it on my pocket/wearing it as a necklace or whatever. I haven't really looked for it so I need to do that.

    @cyndiesstuff welcome back!!

    Hello Fat2Fit Challengers!

    My name is Steve (aka Steplaj) and I am the group owner for the Fat2Fit Weight Loss Challenge and Support Group. I would like to welcome each and every one of our new and returning challengers. This is truly a spectacular group with an absolutely amazing group of people.

    First and foremost, this group belongs to all of us... My moderators and I welcome any input, thoughts, idea's, etc... You can feel free to tag the moderators in your team thread, or you can private message us directly. Your moderators are;
     There are currently six (6) teams and we are beginning this month with approximately 170 active challengers. We always welcome new challengers and you are our best marketing tool, so please feel free to share our group with your family, friends, etc... You can even request they be placed on your team if they decide to join us.

    I would like to point out a couple of things about our group. Did you know we have (under announcements) a thread for people with Fitbits and Smart Watches to connect with and add each other? The thread can be found by clicking on this link;
    https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10478975/fitness-tracker-users#latest

    Finally, in past months we have had a "buddy" group where you could post if you were interested in being partnered with a "fitness buddy" to work with you along your fitness journey. I would like to ask everyone what people think about reinstating the buddy system and pairing people up once again. This system helped in the past with things like accountability and support and built some really strong friendships.

    If you are interested, please tag Beka ( @beka3695 ) Greg ( @Navydaddjtc ) and myself in a post and let us know...

    Thank You, Good Luck, and Have Fun!

    Pooped! Hitting the hay! I will check in tomorrow!

    @DananaNanas Good day! As far as the water, I actually think that is how you are supposed to determine how much to drink. Your urine should be pale yellow. Idk how the vitamins effect that, it may be hard to tell.
    @carlsoda Lol! Thank you!
    @Julie8468 What ever is easier for you is good for us! This is supposed to be helpful not stressful. We are so happy you are coming and posting! Sounds like you are getting off to a good start in April! You have a few (or maybe more than a few) fellow Canadians on this team. Did you get the crazy amount of snow this winter?
