    @Z10Rtza I think that I would try to do some zumba when you get home to relieve the day's stress followed by a shower or bath to further relax your body. If you find this to not be relaxing, then switch it to the morning and see how that works for you.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I lift weights at a moderate level 3-4 sets with 8-10 reps full body 3 day program.

    1/30
    Logged all food.
    Under calorie budget.
    Drank 96 oz. water.
    Lifted weights for 40 minutes.

    @363 days, which renpho scale did you purchase and does the data appear on the scale or in an app?

    @lindamtuck2018 It's wonderful that you have an appointment. I hope they can resolve your nerve pain soon.

    @cesse47 congratulations on receiving your covid vaccination.

    @jimboden3, that is an insightful, comprehensive reply and it should be sticked for everyone seeking motivation.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 so happy to hear that you were able to get outside and enjoy a long walk. You and Aspen must be so fit and dropping 50 pounds is a great accomplishment and testament to your dedication.

    Thank you so much .... You are wanting to be excused from the step challenge on the 1st of Feb until further notice correct?

    Weigh-in Day: Saturday

    Previous weight: 297.0
    Current weight: 296.4

    STEPS -- 3000 each day this past week

    Got my 1st covid shot yesterday afternoon. a bit of a sore arm ... really tired. I'll probably head back to bed shortly. As a whiny pants about shots (the needles!!), I have to say it was virtually painless. Thank goodness I didn't whimper and whine like I normally do. LOL

    Have a great day Y'all!!! :)

    Nice loss! It must feel good to get the vaccine.

    pw 169.8
    cw 170.8

    It is frustrating when a new scale weighs heavier than the other. Its not a real gain and your new scale seems like it is going to help motivate you. b]

    Saturday
    PW 189.2
    CW 186.2
    Loss w/ MFP since 4/17/20 83.8lbs
    LTD 136.8 lbs

    Steps for 1/29 6290
    All my steps came from a 5 and a half hour shopping trip to 6 different stores. Between that and not getting any sleep the night before due to my daughter, I ended up parking on the couch when I got home and couldn't make myself get up to get the rest of my steps in.

    Another great loss! Some days relaxing can be a little more important than getting our steps.

    We start the February challenge on Sunday so it would be great if you could gives us some feedback on our team. Here’s a couple of questions but any input is appreciated.

    What did you gain from being a member of the team?

    What can we do to make the team better?

    I really enjoy being part of this group! I like that we all have similar goals and struggles yet live all around the globe.

    I wish MFP was easier to use on my phone, I can’t like peoples posts as I get an error message. I would like to contribute more and response to posts but it is a challenge on the phone.

    I admire you using the phone. When I try to use my phone for mfp, I just can’t do anything.

    We have a newcomer heading our way ......Please welcome @COscorpio8402 :)


    Welcome to the team!

    This week started strong and then the second half of the work week I did not stick to my plan. I managed to stay between 1150-1350 calories (goal is 1240) but my macros were way off. I have been making a LOT of excuses lately- tired, stressed, too busy. NO MORE EXCUSES. I am making each and every decision that goes against my plan. I am starting to read The Beck Diet Solution again. I need to hold myself accountable for my choices. I am almost certain the the scale will end in a gain tomorrow but I am determined to change that around next week.


    You are doing really stressful but important work now. Stress can be detrimental to our weight loss journey. You are recognized the problem so I am sure that you oppressed on the right path. I am planning on starting my beck diet solution workbook this week. I have only read the introduction so far.
