I was expecting a larger gain. It’s been a stressful week. Bad decisions all around!!! I had only went to the gym twice this week so I forced myself to go this morning and I actually went to a strength class, I also did 20 mins in the elliptical afterwards. I also signed up for a 5k run/walk for breast cancer. That will be next week...5 -

Had a bad week didn’t log my meals and had too many sweets I knew this was coming but it wasn’t as bad as I was predicting. Time for a better week 😊
Sometimes a week like this can actually kick you into fat burning again. Just occasionally, and for short stretches, it can help you land on a new set point. You've got this!2 -
I’ve got a dog party going on in my house today. I’ve got my foster dog Fafi, my grand puppy Sunny who is 3 pounds and a pit bull that belongs to my sons friend named Dakota.4 -

Whoa! This made my day, Sheryl.
On another note, I cannot find the dark chocolate hummus again anywhere. This time I got garlic. I was surprised that we even had chocolate in Canada. We have a less variety.

Aww! How fun! We have dog parties in my condo complex too! Just happen to be outside when everyone takes their dogs out at the same time.🤣0 -
Check-in: Fri 9th Oct
Food: Logged and under
Water: Not great - about 30oz
Exercise: 60min BodyPump and lots of walking!
Steps (for challenge): Fri 20,256
Friday all on plan expect for the water! A new food shop opened this week in town, so headed there to scope out the offerings. Picked up a few too many treat foods, but so far have managed to limit how much I am eating of them.
So it is Saturday evening now, and I will give my check-in for it tomorrow, but as a sneak preview - we went for an unplanned lunch out and my choices were not great (even had pudding!). Planning on getting a bit of exercise in this evening to try to counter the impact (and this morning I weighed 170.1,so was hoping to possible break that 170 barrier soon - bet that will not be tomorrow now as will no doubt retain water from lunch!)
Happy Thanks-giving all our Canadian friends!3 -

Hugs, Timi. It sounds like you're turning it around. Even a bad week, won't stop the success you're having. You've got this!1 -

@tryingagain5 I'm glad you mammogram turned out well.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada.
My steps the last few days are barely any but that's ok. I have been doing a lot of resting. I layed out in the backyard today on one of the gravity chairs for a change of scenery and it was beautiful day. I tried getting my husband to take me for a little walk around the block but he said nope. Didn't think it was a good idea. He doesn't like me up putsing around the house but I feel like I need to move a little. He has to work a shift tonight at the bar, when they asked him months ago he had forgot about my surgery, he was going to cancel but I wouldn't let him, I was the one that told him to work. I'm just going to be sleeping he doesn't need to be watching me and my son plans on being her to sit with me. So I think I'm good. My neck feels a little swollen if its like that tomorrow I will have to get it checked. That's just my luck. It's hard to swallow food so hoping that helps me lose some weight this weeks.3 -
@ljdanny
Thanks!
I hope your neck starts feeling better soon. I agree with you on keeping an eye on that swollenness and probably would get it checked out.
Keep resting and doing what the doctors tell you.1 -

Rest well. You've got to recover and the furthest you should walk is to that gravity chair.

Weight-128.4 (ABOVE my magic number) I gotta get it together this week.
Sunday – 16,644
Monday – 22,437
Tuesday – 15,569
Wednesday – 20,176
Thursday – 19,061
Friday – 16,805
Saturday – 19,716
Obviously I need to get my eating back on track. I am good with the walking totals. I have read a few ideas from y’all this morning that may help. I will do my best to hit that magic number again by next Sunday. I am not sure what happened, I logged everything and came in under goal each day. Oh well, I did it before I will do it again. Y’all know that I will keep on keeping on………A little gain will not stop me.
@timbotkin, @mxlaw90, @Melzz19 – We had the same kind of weigh in, we will both do better next week. I am listening to Theresa’s advice.
@lennoncpa – love, love ,love the dog party!
@Queeniemay – no loss no gain, steady!!!! Maintaining is good.
@Freeglerock – Sounds like a pretty good week to me! Hope the food shop was what you expected. Good luck with the weight in. Awesome step total.
@kristen11872 – congrats on the loss and nearing your goal weight!
@tryingagain5 – PRAYERS answered. So happy for your good news. I like your trainer's idea of drinking water before each meal, I will try that. Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the job, hope it all works out for the best for you.
@ljdanny – praying for a speedy recover for you. Follow your husband’s advice and do your best to take it easy and let your body heal.
@jedaschultz – good for you, getting those steps in this week.
@goingape – congrats on the loss! great walking this week, our weather has been great for outdoor walking.
@KUMEcycling - steady with the weight and very good walking!
@kandi3570 – congrats on the loss this week.
@GingerPwr – hope that you are feeling better, prayers!
@Cuddlememe72 and @kos33 – congrats of the loss!

Weekends are always the toughest here! We have a tendency to eat out quite a bit or host large meals for family/friends. Yesterday my partner needed to get something from a shop in the next town over, and suggested we went to a Harvester to grab some food. Kids love the Harvester so off we went. I planned to have the Simply chicken (chicken breast, jacket potato and steamed veg), but I made the classic mistake of checking out the menu. That had an 80's throwback dish, and I just could not resist - chicken and bbq ribs combo, and then I got too tempted by dessert (Rocky Horror Sundae) which I shared with my other half. I did resist ordering alcohol though, so a little win there. So, that was over 2000 calories just for lunch.
Tried to offset it by taking the kids for a scoot whilst I brisk walked/jogged, and also had a light dinner. Still ended up way over for the day, but looking over the week (so long as I don't similarly blow it today), I should end up within my weekly calorie target. Was a lovely relaxed lunch out with the family, and I do love ribs and sundaes - it is just about figuring out how to fit these things in and not feeling guilty about it. Stepping on the scales this morning I was only 0.4lb up from yesterday, so looks like there isn't a massive amount of water retained either.
@debbiewsharpe Your steps are always amazing - how do you manage to consistently get such high step totals? And I'm sure you'll be back at your magic number in no time!6 -

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!
