    πŸ’¬Chocolate: Yes but only 4 little squares of dark chocolate and not a whole bar πŸ₯³

    That's great! I was going to suggest going the dark chocolate route. I lost my final 45 lbs by having at least one or two squares of Lindt 90% or 99% dark chocolate daily.

    I must try lol.

    Comments:
    I had a whoosh this morning!! The scale has been fluctuating between 139(s) and 141(s) for the past week. This morning, even though I woke up feeling "fat (you know some mornings you wake up and you feel smaller? Well, today wasn't that day), I finally broke through that invisible wall! My weight this morning is 137.8! I hit the 137's!! This is the lowest weight I have been since I was a child!! Probably 9 or 10 years old! Just in time for my race tomorrow! Maybe I'll avoid the scale tomorrow because it will probably go back up to 141. lol

    Great job, girl!

    Hey all!! Really pumped for this. Normally I weigh in on Mondays but this well I was away until late last night. This week I weighed in this morning but next week I'm back to normal. Looking forward to it as well! Between travel and TOM, this was a rough week.

    I have to learn to deal with the job stresses without sugar and quick high carb snacks. They're so easy to pick up and eat when you're working and don't have time to sit down.

    I keep Quest bars at work for a quick protein snack during the day. They have carbs but are high fiber and high protein

    Definitely moving in the wrong direction
    I finally got my cortisone shot in my hip, which I swear was more painful than having my kids. So while the pain is lessened it isn’t gone but I have to get my but moving before it wears off

    I'm a bit late because I didn't know how the notications work, first time in a MFP challenge, so this is a little late introduction

    My name is Rory Dixon and I am loosing weight for my self, my mother and my girlfriends and our future.

    I have always been overweight all my life and now I am on my 15th day streak I feel confident I can finally do this, I am sick and tried literally of making excuses for my self and just get on with it, I want to show my mother who also struggles with weight loss it is possible without restricting and difficult diets.

    My mom would be joining me but her phone is too outdated to use mfp.

    My current weight at the moment is 18.11 stone and has been for 3 days, which is a relief really because when I started my diet 15 days ago I was loosing a pound a day, and today my jeans fit me which didn't at the start of the year.

    I take my daily thigh, waist around my belly button and hip measurements on Friday and weight my self to check in on Monday.

    I always like having more friends and feel free to add me.

    I'll look into them. Thanks!

    Made it though 18 miles Sunday morning. So ready for the long runs to taper back in a few weeks, that way I can maybe stop eating so much and fit some more workouts in without all the running soreness. I guess bring on the hoodies for now until I can functionally workout more.

    I did well at getting more vegetables in this week. I still struggle with getting enough water so I will do better next week.

    One thing I did well this week was track and monitor my sodium. I never realized how much sodium I ate!!! Yikes! One thing I still want to improve upon us water intake. I drink more than I ever did, but I would like to consistently drink at least 80oz.

    Exercise: Yes - HIIT & stretching
    Comments: HIIT is hard but gets my heart pounding quickly! I have been struggling a lot with sticking to the calorie goal that MFP gave me. When I looked at the data collected from my Apple Watch, I can see why, so I revised my calorie goals based on my Apple Watch calorie burn stats - I am now aiming to eat at my 'passive' burn rate. Any active calories should bring me weight loss ( I won't be aiming to eat back any calories burned through exercise).

    I have logged all my calories so far this week, which is something that I typically struggle with. But I have eaten a lot of junk food this week and blown my calorie budget almost every day - I want to do better with this next week!
