    We're halfway through spring break and I haven't given up on my workouts yet! When my older kids are around the house is so much more hectic and loud so its easier for me to get distracted and procrastinate my workouts and lots of times they end up getting skipped. Tomorrow we're going on a quick trip to Roswell NM! We've driven thru there a bunch of times and never stopped so we thought that would be fun to go explore. But that means a lot more eating out, so I'm hoping to make good food choices, drink lots of water, and walk a lot!!

    It was Krystal's @Krysless2 idea. I do agree, it is an awesome idea.

    I am looking forward to seeing your show and tell, Christine. @cmhubbard92 . You are doing awesome with the exercise. Way to bounce back from the flu!

    Hi team! Every week I'm going to start a Weekly Round Table Conversation. This week I'd like to bring us back to grade school and suggest a Show & Tell topic!

    Please post a picture of a tool(food/trick) that you have discovered to be crucial in your weight loss journey. Please present your item and tell the class a story representing your item 😊.

    Mine is a water counting water bottle. I absolutely hate water and this has been a game changer for me because it made it easier to surpass the goal to drink half my body weight in ounces. It's a 20oz water bottle by Zak! that I purchased at Walgreens, but I'm sure you can purchase something like it on Amazon or wherever.

    @Krysless2 I love this idea! I also have a Zak! Insulated tumbler(it's purple!) And I love using it when I am home!

    Right now, these are only two of my tools! My schwinn bike and my 48oz water bottle. I have been trying to get on the bike multiple times each week and get a good 30+ minute workout in! I drink one full bottle before my lunch break at work, every day, and I find that if I stay up with my water, I snack less(this is especially true on the weekends!)

    Other tools for me inclide: MFP diary, my food scale, and my daily dove chocolates! :)

    Enjoy your trip to Roswell. I know it's hard to get work outs in when everyone is at home. You are doing awesome!

    My tool - the one thing without which I wouldn't have achieved the results I did.

    @petrocoetsee
    Without that very tool, I would be working out like crazy, still eating everything that I wanted to wondering why I wasn't losing weight.
    MFP makes counting and tracking calories so much easier. While I have not been as disciplined as I should this weight loss journey (I am trying much harder this month) I have had great results in the past. But gained everything and more back when I thought I could go without it.

    I think next month I will change my weigh in day. I have been weighing heaviest on Wednesdays. This morning I was at 182.3. The same thing happend last week. My weigh in last Wednesday was 183.8 and Thursday was 182.5. I know it is just a number and I should be looking at it more as progress and watching the pattern overtime. But I still like seeing a smaller number.
