    We used to have a boxer that would run away at least two times a week....I would pay the neighbors kids five bucks to bring him home!

    @eyezbydiana As for the UAC , you don't need to tag me. I'll find it.
    I did at home Zumba today too.

    Tracked: yes

    Exercise: yes

    Steps: 12,123
    Water: 66oz
    Pre-planned & followed: no
    Exercise: over 60 minutes essentially "hiking" through woods while looking frantically for our older dog that got loose when I got home from work

    @cmhubbard92 Did you find him? I know how scary that is. I hope he is ok and home.

    @brandi_84 yes, thankfully, we called my boyfriends brother and father for help, and his father found him down at a neighbors-he cut back a totally different route, and we scoped the area so many times... we thought he was gone... and with the storm we're kind of seeing just made the night look so much scarier for us!

    Mini Challenge
    Mon Dec 2nd
    Tracking: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: yes, 35 min The Firm Express workout DVD

    Water: 72oz


    Username:thedestar
    Weigh in week: Dec- week 1
    Weigh in day: Monday
    Previous Week's weight: 180
    Today's Weight: 181

    :( Not off to a good start. I'm thinking that might be some lingering Thanksgiving bloat because other than that one day I was mostly on track last week. Also, is this the right format? It's what I had saved in my phone from before.

    @cmhubbard92

    Sorry to be a pain...is it mandatory to do this everyday and with one pass weekly... say if we have a day when we can't log? I've read so much and I just don't want to screw it up...which I probably will🙈

    @Tinydancer106 For the challenge I have on the spreadsheet, you can post all days at once or on each day. I fill in what I see, when I can. There's no requirement to post your info daily-I have a tendency to post 3 or 4 days at once, because life gets hectic sometimes! And don't worry about screwing anything up! Both @brandi_84 and my challenges are for your own personal benefit, and have no impact towards the weight loss challenge! :)

    @thedestar Your format is perfectly fine! And don't stress a 1lb gain it happens to all of us! Hopefully this month brings more losses than gains for many of us! :)

    @mhassan160 I use the recipe builder, on occasion, when I doubt the entries in the MFP database. If you cook a lot at home, it can help you build a more solid diary-especially if you use the same recipe more than once! I make overnight oats, daily, and just log my portions that I have already calculated the calories :) give it a shot sometime!

    @eyezbydiana how much snow have you gotten? I want to say we have ~5in but snow is still coming down until 7 or 8 this morning... It doesnt matter how in shape I get, shoveling is always a tiring workout for me! Haha. Still a great day for you!

    @petrocoetsee great job as usual! I'm really hoping the good "deal" my boyfriend found on my christmas present is a treadmill. I guess I'm getting greedy, haha.

    I still only drink the 32 oz. But having a bottle filled sitting in the fridge seems to make it more likely for me to choose it over something else.

    Mine runs if he ever gets out because he likes to go socialize with the neighbors.

    @brandi_84 our older one runs away because he knows we can't catch him with all the places he goes. He had to have been REALLY cold to get in the guys car!
