    Challenge starting weight: 140lbs
    Goal weight: 120
    3/31/20: 142.4 - 560cals over for the week, eating differently due to quarantine, worked out more than usual, hoping this is water weight
    4/7/20: 141.6 - 1524cals under for the week, met my goal of staying in the green, continuing to exercise a lot, disappointed with this weigh in

    New weekly goal: meet 1200cal daily goal regardless of exercise

    Count me in! I'm keto/low carb and my macros are set to 1600 calories: 40g carbs, 125g protein & ~100g fat. I'm fairly active and work out daily for at least an hour. Curious what everyone else's macros are set at.

    I would love to join also. I stared tracking on MFP 13 days ago. I lost 1 pound the first week, and I think I gained it back this week! I'll see tomorrow but this morning didn't look good. I have been working out like crazy and tracking food. Is that muscle gain thing real, or is this something we just tell each other so we don't feel bad for not losing weight? I would really like to see some results on the scale. I would love to give and take some encouragement from others. I run and do Les Mills classes (in my small home gym right now).

    Weight is a tricky measure affected by so many variables.
    It is a good option to also use other measures such as photos, how clothes fit, how much easier a particular workout feels, how much more (reps or weight or duration) you can do.
    If your weight stays the same, but your waist size decreases, this is changing body composition in a healthy way too.

    I'm walking 10k a day, eating way better during quarantine and doing some early morning kickboxing workouts at my park in Brooklyn. Hope everyone is doing well on their journey!

    HI All, I hope all is going well. Anybody else weighing in today?

    Today is my weigh-in day:
    SW: 168
    GW: 148 (Updated to make it an even 20 lbs to lose.)
    Week 1: 165

    3 lbs was way more than I expected and I wonder if it was mostly water. (??) I'm finding it hard not to snack. I assume it's because I'm hungry. I am trying to keep to healthy snacks: small amount of nuts, oranges, slice of bread with small amount of peanut butter, but it is just increasing my calorie intake. I need to work on making my meals more satisfying, so I don't want to snack. I need to make more time to meal plan!!

    Today is my weigh in ... and I gained a pound since last week. I shouldn’t be surprised, as I made homemade yeast cinnamon buns, had jelly beans, and some chocolate. Since I spread it out over a few days and didn’t inhale the bag of jellybeans 😂, I thought I’d stay level. Oh well! I’ll keep moving forward.

    ~ Samand, who is throwing out the rest of the jellybeans NOW!

    pZilly I’m trying some new advice this week and maybe it will help you too. The idea is that our cravings and urge to snack will pass in 10-15 minutes, so if I can find a distraction, I can avoid the snack. Sometimes it works, like I’ll walk out to the mailbox or empty the dishwasher. Other times, I’m not so successful. But it seems that if I wait, then I also come up with a more reasonable type of snack than toast and peanut butter again. Hope this helps! Keep posting!!

    I'm not bothered at all by the scale readings because I am building strength, flexibility and fitness every day.
    Week 1: Yoga & Fitness Blender 5 day challenge + IF
    Week 2: Yoga & FB 5 day challenge strong and lean + IF
    Week 3: Yoga & FB 5 day challenge + IF & Max trainer scenic virtual hike / running (this proved to be TOO MUCH!)
    Week 4: Yoga & FB 5 day challenge strong and lean + 2/ 7 days IF + relaxation activities. Weekends I do yoga and max trainer.
    I'm getting better at the exercises. Some I couldn't do the first time through, but now I can. I see better tone & feel very "activated" especially through my core.

    @Samand303, Thanks for the advice. I'm trying...though not successful each time as you mentioned, but I'll keep working at it!! During the day has been better than the night. The quick walk seems to work. :smile:
