Got some cleaning done for our upcoming basement renovation and did my power ignite workout. Other than that a pretty boring day!2 -
I just got the Renpho scale and it is really fascinating. My metabolic rate is 2 years older than I am, so that gives me a goal, for sure. The sad part - I weigh 2 more pounds on this scale than my old scale. I thought my old one was a good scale - boohoo. I will be going with the new scale, though, and I'm sure I'll adjust...might keep the old one around when I need a pick-me-up haha.
I have been considering one of these scales. The reviews seemed mixed on them all but I guess that is to be expected. I just worry can something that inexpensive be accurate or would I be messing with my head. I am enjoying only getting on the scale once a week now, but I would really love all that data if it was in fact accurate. Maybe I will just bite the bullet and do it after vacation in a few weeks.0 -

I'm 41, and I live in Edmonton, Canada. I just adopted a 8-week old kitten last weekend, so I'm learning how to be a cat-mom. I'm so tired this week!! LOL I've been overweight most of my life and have done the yo-yo up and down thing on diets that weren't sustainable for me. Since I started working from home in March, I decided if ever there was a time to do something about my health, this was it. I'm doing it the slow and steady way, and started by just making small but realistic changes in my life. It all started with not drinking pop at home. Since December, I've been struggling with my motivation. Happily I've kept hovering around the same weight, but I'm really hoping I can get that motivation back and get back to it.
Please add me as a friend!

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.

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.

@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.1 -
@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.2

User: cesse47
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.
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.1 -

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