PW 243.7 lbs
CW 244.8 lbs
At least it's lower than where I started 2 weeks ago. This is how my body tends to do things, up and down and up and whoosh. Hopefully next week will show a loss!
@micki48 steps for 5/2: 7446
Spending much of my day outdoors today, already exceeded my step goal and it's only 2pm ☺
Started intermittent fasting again today (goal is to stop eating by 9pm and not eat again until 1pm the next day), we shall see how it goes. I've never been very consistent with it but I want to give it a fair go as it is supposed to be great for insulin resistance and pcos.
I hope you are all having lovely weather like we are here in Michigan! 🌸

Pw 188.2
Cw 185.2
My name is Grace, I am 28, research student, pharmacist and I live with my junior sister @Alexsandramorff one of our new members. I was actually telling her about this group so she wanted to join.
After weeks of stalling, I am now back on track. What I found works for me is
1. Counting calories
2. Drinking 1.5-2Litres of water daily and
3. 5,000 steps a day and
4. logging food in MFP
So those will be my goal for the week.
I am doing ok in general, working from home and have also started corset training 💃🏽💃🏽...had to stop previously because I gained too much weight and couldn’t fit in my corsets 😅. It’s good to get back to something I loved doing. I wish you all the best this month. I will try and engage more too.5 -

I don't even live in the same country as my sister @evelynladams527 but it is fantastic to have her here. Sisters

And, I show off my ignorance, what is corset training???4 -

You can use corsets to modify your figure, if you wear them long enough and keep tightening them.
I love my corsets, though I don't use them for that purpose. They take the strain right out of my back and they're so pretty. Unfortunately the ones I have also make my chest kind of obnoxious.4 -
PW: 149.5
CW: 151
I know. Wrong direction.3 -
Good: My running has gotten a bit faster. I've been doing a 6.6 miles route 5 minutes faster than in mid-March.
Bad: The resolve & desperation to lose weight that I had in December is gone, but I'm so thankful that I'm still about 10 lbs down from my starting weight.4 -
My step count for today - 11,348. My first week with a tracker! It is much more cool than my old phone app...5

Sunday night check in!
Really had a lazy day. It was only nice out for a short amount of time. I took advantage of the time and got a quick 40 minute walk in with the pup. The rest of the day was nothing but lounging around and a few chores. Calories were great. I didn't eat my exercise calories today and that makes me so happy. It was so hard to not eat up those extra calories. I will be keeping my water bottle handy for the rest of the night to stay out of trouble. I don't know why I always think that because I worked out it gives me a significant amount of leeway in the food department. It's so not true...too bad right? LOL3 -

Remember when I tried to get your help changing the metal stays in that corset of mine? Well, it’s basically “waist training” or, “tight lacers”. They give one a lot of support and can, if done consistently, help the body shape change. They can give some of us the physical and visual boost to keep going ‘cause we look and feel better contained, etc.
It’s great to be here with you and the other folks! ❤️2 -
Good evening! Checking in for Day 1. Tomorrow I intend to get the spreadsheet working and to check out the tiny habits challenge but for now, @Terytha 's challenge:
One thing I did well in April - Putting good meals on the table with the ingredients I had on hand. We've only had a couple of small grocery runs in the last 7 weeks so I'm getting to the back of shelves and drawers that were long overdue! But nobody has starved yet!
One thing to improve on in May - Spend less time on the internet searching out news about Covid-19. I'm doing everything I can already to keep us safe, and I can't change anybody else's behaviour so it is fruitless for me to fret over it.4 -
My good and bad of April
Good: I set a goal to do some type of Pilates everyday either with the balanced life or on my own. I completed 29 days in April and will keep this habit. It makes me feel taller and more fit. I even notice it when I’m playing games with the kids or in my posture at random times during the day! So amazing!
Bad: I’ve been using my exercise calories as a reason to eat more calories. Which makes me feel that my hard work isnt paying off. Truth is that I’m not seeing benefits because I’m eating them all the time. So in May I changed my goal to stay under calories regardless of exercise.
Thanks @terytha love this thought provoking challenge!5 -
Good morning everyone.
@jugar I have been having a lot of back pain, think I should go on cheer squad this month.
I am going to try to stop eating for comfort as my tiny change this month. I will drink a glass of milk if I feel I really need food.
I started up again last week when my back started hurting.. thanks @Terytha!6 -

I do the same thing! 😔 I do genuinely feel hungrier on my more active days. I'm trying this week to eat back less than half my exercise calories and see how that goes. Good luck to us both!3 -
Hey there,
Was a good weekend, we had friends over for crabs sat... we did keep up the whole social distancing thing... Yesterday was my off day, so no exercise. Saturday morning was Pilates and walking, Friday on the dog walk we did interval jogging, it was hard, but it felt good, so we are doing that 3 times a week... SO this is my exercise plan for the week...
Monday - Interval jogging with puppers & 20 Min Yoga
Tuesday - 2 mile video - 20 min treadmill - 20 min Pilates
Weds - 2 Mile video - Interval Jogging with puppers - 20 min yoga
Thursday - 2 Mile video - 20 min Pilates - 30 min treadmill
Friday - 2 mile video - Interval jog with Puppers- 20 min yoga
Saturday - Long walk with puppers as long as weather is good - 20 min Pilates
Sunday - Off day...
My steps for May 3 = 7,346
My good in bad in April = The Good - Ugh this is hard, I feel like April was just a complete wash.. It was not a month worth remembering....
