    Weekly Weigh-in:
    Username: mari_moulin
    Weigh-in day: Saturday
    Weigh-in week: 1
    Previous weight: 189.6
    Today’s weight: 189.2

    Daily Check-in: Friday 03/06

    Calories: under
    Water: 2.5L
    Steps: 13,652
    Exercise: Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)

    Happy Saturday everyone. Weight is still going down at a snails pace but at least it’s going down. Yesterday I adjusted my calories according to my trainers recommendations and even then I used his lowest number. He said I should eat between 1730 and 2030 calories daily. I am not ready to even think about eating over 2000 calories. Nope. So I’m sticking to his low number. Let’s see how it goes. I also changed my macros to higher protein. I’m currently at 40% P, 30%C, and 30%F. These percentages are meant to help muscle gain and fat loss. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 it works.

    I don’t know how it’s going in everyone else’s neck of the woods but this corona virus situation has gotten quite serious in my corner of France. Schools have officially shut down until March 20th as well as all other places and events that would gather more than 50 people at once (libraries, cinemas, sporting events, etc.) this means my Zumba classes have also been cancelled. It’s going to be a couple of rough weeks for me here.

    MARCH GOALS:

    •Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
    •Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
    •Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
    •Workouts -
    Sun - Sunday Funday Walk
    Mon - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻) + Monday Zumba
    Tue - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)
    Wed - REST DAY
    Thu - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)
    Fri - Gym Session (❤️+💪🏻)
    Sat - Saturday Morning 5K

    Way to go on the loss! That’s scary with the virus. There has only been 1 confirmed case in the city I live in. Most of the confirmed cases in Ontario have been in the Toronto area which is almost 2 hours east of us.

    Hi everyone. Help! This is my first month and I have a question. Is there an easy way to find this message thread? I will need to post my stats tomorrow and don't know if I'll find my way back here.

    Charlotte, if you will touch the little star in the upper right corner of the page, it will make this page a “favorite.” You’ll find that just to the right of the Downsizers Team Chat March 2020 title. Once you’ve marked it, from your home page, look for Community tab. Then go to the star in the navigation bar at the top. When you hit that, you’ll see the name of this page. Hope this helps!

    Happy Sunday everyone. Ok so....upping my calories and adjusting my macros seems to be doing the trick. I’m on day 2 and currently down 1.6 lbs. That’s 0.4 loss yesterday and then 1.2 today. This is hard for me to believe as I’m eating much more. Obviously the macro change is doing something as well as I’m now doing higher protein and less carbs/fats. I do hope I’ve now found the trick after 4 years of trying to figure it out. I’m excited to tell my Trainer tomorrow morning. I still have those little doubt muscles working in my brain tho but I’m gonna stick to it!

    Another change I made yesterday is I’ve stopped adding any type of sweetener to my coffee. I’m now drinking it black no sugar. It’s gonna be a hard adjustment but I’ve been working my way to this by cutting back slowly.

    MARCH GOALS:

    •Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
    •Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
    •Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.

    @UTMom81 Thank you! It does help.

    I tripped at my daughter's house last night on a brick sticking up from the grass that I didn't see. I expected to be up from all the bruising and swollen knee and hand but surprisingly wasn't (fell onto a concrete walkway and corner of the house.) Sore but I'll recover. Otherwise, had a very nice dinner. She even checked the menu with me before she set it to make sure it complied with my doctor's orders and my calories. I have a sweet daughter and son-in-law.

    Good Morning!! Happy Sunday!! Where I Live today is Spring Forward day, where we change our clocks one hour ahead for Daylight Savings time. I love Spring Forward!! More daylight and it always feels like the turning point from winter here. We start to see nicer warmer days and I can feel Spring in the air!! It’s the perfect day for a run I think. I hate running but I worked really hard to be able to do it, so I keep it as part of my routine occasionally so I don’t lose the ability.

    Daily Check-in: Sunday 03/08

    Calories: under
    Water: 3.2L
    Steps: 8,023
    Exercise: Sunday Funday Walk

    A new week is here! I’m happy that I’m still seeing the scale move down at a slightly faster pace now since I’ve made the changes my trainer has recommended. I still can’t believe what’s happening on the scale after upping my calorie intake. As he explained to me it’s not 2000 calories worth of Mc Donald’s. It’s 2000 calories of good whole clean foods that your body needs. Im excited to see how far I’ll be able to go now. I have my meeting with him in an hour. Wish me luck with my weigh in. Feeling embarrassed to face the gain I’ve had over the past year but it has to be done.

    MARCH GOALS:

    •Stay on or under my calorie goals everyday.
    •Drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
    •Complete 10,000 steps each day minimum.
    •Workouts -

    Weigh-in day: Monday
    Weigh-in March week 2
    Previous: 238.3 lbs
    Current weight: 235.5 lbs

    That's almost 3 pounds. Not sure if I should believe the scale or not.

    I'm starting to track my waist etc measurements today. So that I don't rely solely on the scale.

    My tshirts fit a bit loose and a skirt I bought in December is slightly looser too. When I bought it, I could barely get the zip up and had to wear tshirts over the skirt. Now I can tuck them in.

    I took the week off from the gym last week.
    Going back to it today.

    Goal:
    1. Log all food and drink.
    2. Get 8 hours of sleep
    3. Exercise 4 times a week
