    @OkieGina Awesome workout! Great job!!

    @digger61 Glad you're enjoying your time and way to go getting in some exercise!!

    @Bm00re2u Hang in there, your life will become normal again soon!!

    @jmitts2 You're doing great!!

    @DeshotelK Awesome job! Great job adding extra exercise, sometimes you just have to follow the motivation where it takes you so awesome!!

    @CourtneyLomonaco Don't worry too much, one day over won't be too bad, and maybe you could sneak in a walk to help offset it....

    @vicky2767 Half an hour walk is a great walk!! You did awesome!!

    @Thumper0104 Awesome loss this week!!

    @Gadgetgirl259 Great day, awesome hike!!

    @genajonas You're doing a great job, I love leg day!!

    @cydneebauman You'll find your motivation to exercise, but losing weight is mostly about controlling your intake and you're doing a great job!!

    @CindyJNC1963 Another great day, you're killing it!!

    @tinak33 That is a lot of squats! And water! Awesome job!

    @gjaholy33 Hang in there! You're doing great making lasting changes and that's what matters the most.

    @303lissy Great job this week!!

    Calling it a fasting day..... appetite still isn't back to normal. But I am still eating. Just very little. Not sure whats going on there. I don't mind though, cuz it came at the perfect time after my foodfest weekend!
    Thats my silver lining and I'm keeping it. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon.

    @aadubb Hang in there, lots of weird things happen to the body during that time of the month. I'm currently sharing your pain, well mostly, I'm feeling the effects of Aunt Flo, who has been weirdly kind to me relative to the scale but not kind to me with how I'm feeling. And as for not bouncing back from a cheat, I am the same way, it's sort of why I no longer cheat, I am not willing to lose some progress for some food, it's just no longer worth it to me.

    I'm going to hope it was my period week that messed up my cheat lol as I'd love to try again :)
    The emotional and physical effects are frustrating too!

    Woke up to a bad migraine. Hoping my medicine kicks in soon.
    Hope you all have a great day. The weekend is almost here. And I’m going camping. Oh speaking of which, can I do my weigh in tomorrow morning instead of sat as I will not be bringing my scale.

    I just had a vision of you sitting round the campfire with your scales ready for your weigh-in lol 😝 (That would be me 😂) Hope your migraine disappears soon, have a great weekend camping 🏕

    @vicky2767 Great day and It's fine if you want to do your weigh in Friday before you leave. Have fun!


    @genajonas Great day, and don't worry about your weigh in, it's probably actually more muscle...or even water retention if you're sore, that happens to me when I'm sore.

    And I have a friend who works for UPS and loads trucks and I can get 20k steps a day and still lose to him. He literally walks all day for work. And somehow he was off for a weekend (Sat Sun and Mon) and I still lost and I walked 2.5 hours Saturday and Sunday and still lost somehow.

    @batgirl140 Glad you're heading back to Taekwondo, you're doing great!!

    @SLIMn2016 Great day and great job sticking to the plan and getting back to normal eating!!

    @CindyJNC1963 You're doing great, nice steps! Keep it up!

    @tinak33 Sometimes that happens to me and I choose not to worry about it, I just use the momentum.

    @o0kody0o Great day and nice walk!

    Track: no
    Calories: crazy
    Exercise: 25 minutes elliptical

    We went on our class field trip and part of it was to Friendly's. Tasted so good, but I'm sure weigh in tomorrow is not going to be in my favor.

    Track: yes
    Calories: slightly over target if you don't include my workout, under if you do
    Water: 94-ish oz - should have drank more
    Exercise: yes - warm up on the elliptical, plus one of the workouts from an earlier training session

    I was kinda worried I wouldn't be able to walk today :wink: after the last 2 workouts, but I'm just slightly beyond "pleasantly sore". It's a good feeling. I feel like I'm really getting back into higher intensity workouts (finally). Now I've just got to match up my nutrition with that. Last night, I just wanted to eat all the things! But I managed to talk myself into just a sandwich and a cliff bar (after my protein shake). My nutrition isn't bad, I just need to tweak it some if I'm going to be doing high intensity workouts. Nutrition in your 40's just isn't the same as it was in your 30's!

    Weekly Weigh In

    Username: tinak33
    May Week 3
    Previous Weight: 151.3
    Current Weight: 151.7

    Not a big gain, and at least its still around 151. lol
    After the food fest weekend, my weigh in on Monday was 155.8! So I am happy with this and feel that it is more accurate... haha
    But I still want to get into the 140s this month! Even if its 149.9!!
