Quick question: do I have to report my daily weight ?? For our mini challenge ?
Or will be only on Fridays?? ( Friday is my best day of the week to check scale)
No, @MayaVDM, the weight is reported on your scheduled weigh-in day only. Your day is Friday and you'll get a reminder that morning where I will tag you. The mini challenge this week is to stay something positive about yourself. We also always have our daily check-in, where you answer these questions:
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
And, of course, feel free to post anytime you want. I love it when our members are very active here.
Great job on not giving in to those evil sweets!! 
Sorry for the anxiety today, @allietuge. Praying for you to feel peace and calm from whatever is going on now and also on your trip. Forgive yourself for being normal, and try to stop when you're feeling like that and just think what might be causing it. The gym is definitely a good outlet!!After getting home I was hit with some major anxiety. I'm not sure where it came from but it completely messed up the rest of my day. The snacking got out of control.
I also having anxiety about flying to New York Wednesday night. I'm not good ay flying. I hope the gym will help with these emotions and overwhelming feelings.
@verystumped, I'm glad you've set a goal to lose for the month! I bet your make it!The treats and goodies, not my friends.
@shewhoismany, you're cracking me up!! Glad you got rid of that stuff!!
Good luck, Tuesday, @betsychange!

Remember, our mini-challenge this week is to say something positive about yourself.
Mine is: I'm fun to be with. I am usually in a good mood, I love to make people laugh, and I am always up for an adventure. I have one girlfriend here in a Nashville and every time we are together I feel like a teenager again. She's fun and silly and we have the best time together. We're getting together Tuesday night with our pups for the Sounds baseball game. I can't wait!!

I will be opting out for August & September as we will be travelling in Europe until 24 September. I would like to re join Gutbusters in October. Being in this group has been so beneficial to me losing about 8 kgs or so. The accountability really works for me. Thank you Bonnie for all the work you and the others do to make it possible. It is very much appreciated.2 -
Good morning Fabulous Team.
Wish you a great week ahead 🌞1 -
On vacation for next two weeks but brought my food and Weight scale with me to stay accountable. Packed lots of healthy food only thing standing in my way is the beer. Have to watch that one. Good luck everyone one!!!!!

Had for breakfast frozen blueberries 1 cup with SKyr plain yogurt. My carbs are all eaten already at breakfast.1 -
@MayaVDM, don't let that derail you! You can still stay under calorie goal. Have a great one!
@Colleen790, I'm so sorry you won't be with us for two months, but I'm so excited for your travels!! Have a wonderful time and check in with us periodically with photos, if you can! We look forward to seeing you back with us in October!!1 -

Hi Team, gosh so out of my comfort zone here, for starters i'm doing a post, maybe the norm for so many but I'm not into social media as such & to talk about myself well... i will probably lose what i am writing as this is the 2nd time typing this & dont know what i done with first one 🙄
YES i did at least 20 mins of exercise, YES was under my calorie budget and YES i tracked everything.
Talking of calorie budget do we go by the green numbers on main diary or by the pie chart page? Bit confused as they dont seem to add up?
Cheers2 -
I brought a bathing suit to actually swim-as an exercise. Hugh big commitment for me!!! Next step- actually getting in the water 😂

Did I exercise for at least 30 minutes? YES! 12k steps! Got 98% of it in on a nice long morning walk... didn't do anything physical after that.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES.
Something Positive about myself: I have logged in 7 days in a row! Really helps me to stay accountable.1 -
@looneycatblue, congrats on the loss and logging in 7 days in a row!! So happy for you!!
@BB_1033, counts as a loss to me!! Good work!
@verystumped, I feel you! I finally got the nerve to go to water aerobics, where I only knew one person, and am so glad I did. I don't even care about being in a suit in front of others now. I realized that nobody is looking at me. They're all talking and doing their thing. Don't let that fear keep you from a good, fun time! You can do it!
@sarahmcurry, you did great! You can just post "3x Yes" each day if you'd like until you're more comfortable. As far as the diary, I just concentrate on keeping my numbers all in the green. I don't worry about the pie charts too much, but they're interesting to see the percentages and how on point I am (or am now) at the end of the day.

I upped yoga to 5x last week! I went to Buti Yoga in Tuesday and Saturday, beginning yoga on Monday, Deep Buti yoga on Thursday, and Restorative on Sunday night. I also walked at least 10,000 steps a day. I had 105,000 steps for the week and 25,000 on Saturday! I hope to get back to the 130s this week.3 -
Wowza, girl!! That paid off for you, too, didn't it, @Audreypawdrey? Nice work! 0

@audreypawdrey That is an inspiring loss, so I have to ask - what is Buti yoga?0

@shewhoismany
Thank you! Here is a description from the studio I go to:
Buti Yoga Description
Buti Yoga is a dynamic, empowering, and energetic practice infused with yoga postures, primal movement, tribal dance, and deep core engagement.
There is more information here too:
https://butiyoga.com/
I started going in June and really enjoy it. My core is weak after having two babies, and I feel like the cyclical structure of rotation you do with your core has helped me become stronger! I burned almost 375 calories according to my watch on Tuesday night! It is hard to me but fun and goes by very quickly. You should see if there is a studio nearby that offers classes!1 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - 20 minutes on treadmill with random inclines
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes - I probably over guessed with dinner. I find ribs hard to calculate
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Something positive - I'm a very hard worker. I take pride in completing a task quickly and correctly.2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, water aerobics, 90 minutes (45 minutes aerobics, 45 minutes pool walking); 45 minutes cleaning/organizing my home
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Did I exercise for 20 min? Walked the dog, but way too hot to do much else today.
Did I stay within my calorie range? Yes! It’s going well in that department.
Did I record everything I ate and drank? Yes! I was absolutely meticulous about my meals and snacks.
My FBG was 109 this morning. Not as low as I’d like. My blood keytone was .2mml/dL. Hoping it starts kicking in soon.
But I am really doing great with this diet. Better than I’ve done in a long time. Absolutely not missing the carbs so far. So even if my keytone levels are low meaning I’m not yet in Ketosis, my calories are spot on. Very pleased so far.

Exercise 20 minutes? Yes! Around an hours moderate walk and 20 minutes of rigorous elliptical training.
Within calorie budget? Yes, ate back most of my exercise calories today in the form of tacos, but yes.
Tracked intake? Yes
Something positive - I am worth the effort I'm putting in!!
Had a great but tiring day. Sleep well team! I pray we are restored in the night and wake up refreshed to a whole new day!4 -
