Congratulations to the winners!! How lovely to see a Champion list too, that's awesome! Thanks Ranger Rick
Yes x 3 for Thursday! Prelogging dinner to keep me honest today. I did track everything, did a 25 min dog walk and have an hour if tennis planned layer today. Great way to start the month.
I've been much more consistent with workouts in September, which was a goal. For October I wanna be even more consistent with protein intake. If weather cools I'll have more workout time too.8 -
I love that everyone is off to such a good start!
Yes x 3
Exercise was day 2/28 of my HIIT challenge 36 min., 26 min intense yin yoga, followed by some foam rolling cause I was soooo sore.
I lost 4 lbs last month, but I am going to challenge my self to lose at least 5 this month, so I set up some goals for myself, I thought I would share to keep myself accountable:
1. Do more intense cardio. I did mostly yoga last month, adding some HIIT will hopefully burn more of
my fluff off
2. Eat more veggies. I lost the most weight while doing the 50/50 plate challenge (fill your plate with
50% veggies) I am going to aim for this on most meals.
3. Drink more water...cause hydration!
4. Don't eat back my exercise calories. I only dipped into my exercise calories twice
last month, so this should be an easy one.

Hello everyone! AND....we're off! Off to a great start this month.
Had a lovely orange tint around the moon this morning as we walked...October appropriate indeed!
Goal is to use advice from another group member to really kickstart my weightloss. 25ish pounds lost this year... aiming for 15 more by EOY. Adding weights back in, drinking lots of water, aiming for around 16 cups...avg is about 10 now - so there ya go; walking partner and I plan to add more intervals; personal goal to do some planks and pushups daily; planning to do a "miles completed win prizes as part of his homeschooling(like, good stuff...lol)" chart for my 14 yr old ...stuff he'll need for high school...but he'll think it's fun...hopefully...we'll see. Pet sitting is picking up a tad...(my business) so I'm praising God for that...and that also means that I have to be diligent about workout time. I'm dealing with some mystery bloodwork issue and a pain that shouldn't be there...so I'll be addressing that this month with a couple of specialists. SO GLAD that I have all of my food diary and workout information to share with them. No mysteries about those matters!7 -

Last month, I played hookie during a two week road trip to Yellowstone Park. My habits must be working because I lost weight during that vacation.
Today:
Exercise: I'm a little under the weather so 30 minutes of treadmill walking
Calories; under my limit
Tracking: good7 -
Great job to all who finished in the Winner’s Circle and all who kept coming back regardless! Thank you Ranger Rick for keeping this going!

I have to say, I “fell off the wagon” one day and didn’t even track AT ALL, but going WAY over calories. If it hadn’t been for this challenge, I’m pretty sure one day would’ve turned in to 2 and then 3 and on it would go!
So it’s a very worthwhile challenge!9 -
I started last week tracking EVERYTHING, weighing, measuring, and exercising to get me geared up for this month. My start weight last week was 149 and I am 5'2 ( 51yrs old)
Got on scale today to start the challenge and I was 143. I couldn't believe a 6 pound weight loss! It really does work! I ate much healthier, drank all my water, and added more protein, good fat, and less bad carbs. I won't weigh myself until end of the challenge, but am excited to be on this journey with you all. I have read all your posts and taken quite a few suggestions from others...thank you!

Ok....I thought this would be easy but it was not!
Exercise: 15 min Pilates. 10 min dog walk
Stayed in my calories.
Did track everything.
It was hard exercising at 8:45 at night just because I didn’t want to take a pass the very first day. I have especially been thinking about one of the comments that staying to the calories and not weighing every day might be very beneficial to getting some better habits. Thanks for your encouragement....been a crazy day!9 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, many hours of disinfecting the public areas of my workplace due to the virus, plus slow walking, plus carrying some heavy boxes of supplies for myself (which I don't have to do, but did anyway for upper body exercise)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes, well under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes6
