Calories: within calorie goal
Exercise: Nada
Water: I drink so much water!!
Steps:12,424
This is yesterday since today just started. I finally got sleep last night. The scale was down almost a pound from Mon (my official weigh in day). I am hoping to maintain that loss until Mon. My eating has been really good this week. I am nursing so I aim for around 1800 calories, but I also try to eat fairly clean with those calories. I plan on doing cardio today and tomorrow and then hopefully restart Chalean Extreme on Mon, now the baby appears to be on the mend.
I hope you all have an amazing weekend!!!2 -
Micki48: Is it too late to be added to the steps challenge for this month? I don’t have big numbers but the accountability helps me.
@Steph1498 Happy to see you. Like Liselyn said, don’t beat yourself up. You are here. Just keep going.
Of course we will add you to the step challenge. We want you to have all you need to stay motivated.
With that said, can you give me your steps for this whole week? If not, no worries.
And @jugar Would you add another row to the spreadsheet? Sounds like you have a VERY busy day.2 -
Saturday weigh in

I haven’t had my Fitbit on yet today and it’s almost noon. I hate when I need to charge. Maybe I need two Fitbits 😉.
Steps for 1/10 - 8,486 👣
I’ll check in later. Now, I’m off to the attic to put away Christmas decorations.3 -
These are some BA-YOOTIFUL weigh-ins! Lots of green
@matthewsfive is in a new decade in more ways than one! Hitting the 170s! WTG. And @micki48 - you're teetering pretty close to the 180s. Won't THAT feel fabulous?
I have a question for @lovethyneighbor though. I had your weigh-in from last week (January 4th) as 212.6, not 218. The 218 was from when you first signed up December 27th. Is that right? Whatever it is, you have lost almost 6 pounds in those 2 weeks!!2 -

My starting weight is 218.0. I weighed last week bc I thought that was supposedly week one. However I read afterwards that it was supposed to be starting week, then this week as week one. Either way, I still weighed 212.6 today. No loss. No gain. ☺️

I'll split the difference! Then you'll have some lovely green showing in this week 1 -
@KellyBgetsfit , so glad you little one is doing better. It makes life better when everyone in the house gets some rest.
So far it has been a great start to the weekend. Got some laundry done and a few other jobs around the house. Got out for a 30 minute snowshoeing adventure while my husband was sledding with the kids. It was so beautiful out and my dog came along as well. The dog was convinced he needed treats at the end. My kids felt the same so we baked some cookies. I only had 2 and they were delicious. Next I need to come up with something healthy for dinner.2 -
It's good to hear the team has another snowshoe person @conleywoods - I'm having a very sad day because we're getting some rain and the snow is now too soft and mushy to get out on, so I'm glad to read your post so I can live vicariously with you! And yes, treats are often in order after snowshoeing - it really burns up some pretty serious calories!
CHECK IN on WEIGH-INS:
We're down to the crunch! There are only four weigh-ins due and the week will be a wrap

Hi Gang! Hope everyone has had a good week. I was sick with the 'crud' Sunday evening through Thursday, when I started to feel better. It wasn't the flu because I never had a fever, but I think it may have been allergies. The cedar here has been horrendous this week. Either way, I felt like I'd been beaten to a pulp most of the week. Despite that, I decided to make 1 change and stick with it this week. I eliminated all breads and anything else made with flour this week. Still no exercise....just didn't feel up to it most of the week.
SW: 349 (from my 1/4/20 entry I believe)
CW: 346.2
I'm going to keep the no bread/flour thing going for a while to see if the losing trend continues. Additionally, next week, I'm going to make 2 changes: no sweet snacks/desserts/candy and at least 1 meal each day has to be all veggies (no meat). My calorie count is too high and I definitely need to eat more vegetables anyway.

@evangsimmons170 Hi Rhonda! Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear the crud had you down. Hopefully this coming week has you feeling much better. Your steps were really great for feeling bad.
I think your goals are fantastic. In fact, I was thinking of making one day a week meat-free. I’m excited to find good recipes. Good luck. Not sure I could give up bread/flour. But I do watch my macros. The sugar elimination can be hard, at first, but once you do it, you don’t crave it as much. I was doing great for awhile, but since Christmas not nearly as well. Still have some stray sweet things around here.
Today, I was eating ganache icing on cookie crumbs 😂(Shhhhhhh🤫) I told my husband, you have to go in the kitchen right now and pour water on that icing. Destroy it. Throw it away. I just can’t do it myself.
Anybody else have adjusted or new goals to share? How about substitutes for sweets? Yummy meatless recipes? Share and let us know what you are doing. 🙂1 -

@micki48 I think the meal that derails me the most is lunch, especially during the work week. So that's the meal I'm going to focus next week for my all veggie meal each day.
Tomorrow I'm going to slow cook my favorite bean recipe....refried beans without the refry.

Plus I have a spaghetti squash, which works well as a pasta replacement or by itself. I recently tried a sweet potato topped with spinach and asiago cheese at a restaurant. It's amazing! I can make that too. I just need to get the asiago cheese. I'll probably add an avocado too.
Finally, I found 2 cabbage recipes that I want to try this week.

Weigh in - 67.3kg!
I'm so so sorry! I'm letting the team down.
We've just moved cities, I've started a new job and I'm house hunting! I need a gazillion hours in the day! Plus I have no laptop yet (everything in storage thanks to a 3 week holiday before the move!)3 -
