    Did I exercise 20 minutes? Yes. After climbing around a 120F attic and scuttling around in a spider-ridden crawlspace, the 93F outside made for a pleasant walk.
    Did I track everything I ate and drank? Yes
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes

    Again, sorry for the late weigh-in. Very excited to be under 270 which was a mini goal of mine. Next goal is to get below 260. Happy Wednesday Team!

    I'm leaving for New York today and will be home Sunday afternoon. I'll need to change my weigh-in day to Monday this week.

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? No, I have to guess at water. I have time to track dinner now because it was chicken and a salad with olive oil.
    Positive, I pushed to get the extra steps in!

    Just wondering, why did you skip breakfast & lunch? Are you fasting? Congratulations on the 15,000 steps!

    Did I exercise for at least 30 minutes? YES + some :smile: 13,000 + steps
    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: The extra walking is starting to pay off, seeing some muscle definition in my legs... now I need to start lifting weights or something to firm up the "Granny" arms.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for firming up flabby arms?

    Hi Looneycatblue,
    I was running late for work, then my hungar just subsided. So, I did not eat anything. Thank you for caring about me!

    Just assigned to team today so I've missed the last few days of intros and postings.

    This looks like a fun group and hoping your enthusiasm will help motivate me to get onboard and stay onboard. Down about 15 lbs. from the first of the year but find myself lacking motivation these days and can feel the lbs. creeping back on and still have quite a ways to go.

    So for yesterday...
    Exercise? No
    Track everything? Yes
    Stay in calorie budget? Yes

    Something positive about myself -- took the leap and joined MFP and this group.

    @Pamela117e, so glad to have you with us. Welcome to the team!
    Does anyone have any suggestions for firming up flabby arms?
    @looneycatblue, I'd be interested as well. I have inherited my mom's "wings" and hoping with water exercise and weights I can tone them up as much a possible.

    @verystumped, congrats on your loss! Have fun on your vacation! :star:

    @allietuge, I'll make a note to remind myself! :smiley:

    Exercise? Yes, over an hour of brisk walking!
    Under calorie budget? Hard to say - did my best estimation of what half a chipotle burrito is 😬. It was close either way!
    Tracked everything? Yes

    Something positive- I see the good in almost everybody and everything.

    @BonnieHosk85 what is pool walking? Looks like a dumb question after seeing it in print but curious anyway. :D

    Good morning! Nice loss, @inshapeCK!! You'll get back there very soon! :star:

    @Pamela117e, the lady has a pool that is the same depth for the whole pool. I get there 30 minutes early and just walk laps in the pool, and then I stay a little bit longer when class is over and get more time walking. https://www.everythingzoomer.com/health/longevity/2011/08/25/pool-walking/

    Team, this week we have had a mini-challenge of saying something positive about yourself. If you haven't done that yet, think about it and let us know. If you have an idea for next week's mini-challenge, you can post it on the thread or pm me.

    Today we’re looking for weigh-ins from:
