@cmhubbard92 please add my steps goal 70000 for week and the food color challenge. Also how do I enter my numbers and save the link to spreadsheet or do you enter #’s. Seems like a lot of work for you.

@energyseeker I use google sheets on my phone(from the plag store). Usually I open the mobile version of MFP and can open the spreadsheet just clicking the link and it opens in my sheets app... I know that when I use the MFP app, the link will open within MFP, and my phone gives me issues trying to open with sheets from here... I would maybe ask if @pkg1998 has a suggestion on how to somehow save the link? You could also copy/paste into web browser, and it should save it in your memory on your phone.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16wLt6EfpKpkMVjCS1-pISRpWUfbYXdX3usRTfIN2YnI/edit?usp=drivesdk is the link.
Sorry I am rambling... I am about to go to bed and am tired!0 -
Hi guys. I'm Laura. I've lost a whole load of weight but working on what seems like the last 10-14lbs for ages (partly because I keep changing my target).
Weigh in for this week is 160.
Im away for 3 weeks so need to find a way of weighing in. Those are of who are USA based - is there anywhere that tends to have scales? In the UK. Some chemist's have them and charge 20p but not sure here?
On the plus side I've run and walked about 10 miles today so hopefully exercise wise I'll be doing well. 20 days to my 10k!3 -

This is random, but on Friday at my work picnic I had fruit salad, and it had dragon fruit. I wasn't terribly thrilled with it because the texture was weird and it had almost no flavor... I can gladly say it is something "exotic" that I will never go out of my way for haha.
Dragon fruit is so disappointing. So pretty but so tasteless. I find papaya the same. If I'm having fruit I want the tasty stuff - juicy peaches, fat raspberries or pineapple with a little chilli salt.

I am back from my absence. My wife has been home since Friday night and all the tests came back negative. Didn’t do so great at eating during those days. Hospital food is terrible and quick options near the hospital were fast food and pizza. I am sure I will have a terrible weight this week but just know I am getting back on track.
Sun:
Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: no
Water: 12 cups
Mon:
Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes
Water: 16 cups
I see there are new challenges but I have to catch up on dozens of posts so I will get there tomorrow hopefully.
Welcome all new teammates.
@erikNJ glad to hear that you all are back home and tests were negative. I agree on hospital and surrounding area food - just did that for 2 weeks in August with my mom. (seems like they always have same kinds of stuff around them!) Looking forward to the upcoming month and watching/hearing about your journey! Take a minute to regroup

I finally got the puppy to the dog park today. The one closest to me is completely wooded, and he loved it! There was only one other dog there and Dillon loved running around with him! It was a nice short hike through the woods to get there, and some trails in the fenced in park! The woman with the other dog was telling me about some dog friendly hiking trails near me, and now I have some places to check out!
@cmhubbard92 I haven't had dragon fruit - but will definitely save that for a challenge in the future where we have to try something new!! and... editing to add - super cute pupper there!

I think I forgot to introduce myself to new members. My name is Mandy. I'm 37 from Northern Kentucky and a stay at home mom. I've been a part of this group since June and it's been beneficial and supportive thru some difficult times.
The past few months I've been concentrating more on the physical aspect rather than the food part so..this month my goal is to get refocused on the nutritional part of weight loss. This past week I've been kinda taking a step back from everything and dealing with some emotions I've pushed away recently. I think I'm in a good head space now and ready to take on October.

@lozenger1984 it was so disappointing! I really thought it would have a nice flavor! I love mostly all fruits but have never tried chilli salt!0 -
@cmhubbard92 My goal is 56 miles/week : whatever that translates to in steps ? 😳
@LMK02020 I used a calculator, makes it almost 119,000 steps, but I rounded it down to 118,000! That's a lot of steps, and a fantastic goal!0 -

@ForLangston Awesome start to the months challenge! I would join you in the no alcohol challenge, I only have a glass of wine every few weekends and don't drink any other time(normally), but my birthday is in a couple weeks and I definitely plan on having a drink!
I love your energy coming into the new month!1 -

@sandkp I would choose a different fruit to try! It just has no flavor! I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone

@Calli1616 great day of exercise all around! What a great way to start the month! I will have to check out the video you chose!1 -
Ok! This is my last post for the morning(I hope!)
My weigh in is up again. I have realised that I gain a little more shortly after shark week ends, so I know with some hard work this little bump will work it's way back down! And, it's not as crazy as last month's gain!
Previous week: 201.9
This week: 203.8
Gain: 2.1lb2 -

@cmhubbard92 You’re killing me with these water goals! If I eventually meet them, I won’t be getting any work done during the day unless I take my laptop to the bathroom!!
I had a giggle at this Pam 😂 I felt the same today, never been so glad to be able to dash out of my classroom at breaks!!
I need a bit of a kick up the bum team 🙈 Does anyone ever feel this way? I’ve lost the same 10lbs again that I’ve been working on all summer and my clothes are feeling a little looser. You’d think that would give me extra motivation (and rationally it does) but I’m perilously close to falling off the bandwagon again after a few poor choices at the weekend.
Diet was good today despite it being quite hard to stick to it and work is mental again which is impacting my activity goal but I just feel my head isn’t as in the game! Hoping this is a 48 hour thing and I’ll feel motivated tomorrow morning for some pre work gym. I have another parents evening tomorrow after school so I know I’ll not get it in afterwards.
@coral333 I can understand the feelings you’re having. When I’ve lost in the past I would get to the point where I focused more on what I’ve lost and not on what I still wanted to lose. I know it’s good to be happy about the loss, but it makes it harder to get motivated to continue to work toward your goals. Looks like your starting off doing a good job of planning your exercise time based upon your schedule. I’m sure that will help with your motivation.0 -

@cmhubbard92 Your puppy certainly is getting your activity level up even higher than it was. I’m sure he enjoys getting out and running around. I’m looking forward to the weather being cool enough here to be able to do some outdoor activities. Just too hot for me and the dog.0
