Exercise: functional strength training at the gym, which burned less than I thought so I jumped on the rower when I got home for 10 min to make up the 73 calories I would have been over. I fell victim to the Peanut Butter earlier, and cut back some food but didn’t want to miss my nightly tea. I’m really liking my day ending with ginger, lemon, and honey tea. It seems to be helping me not snack at night, and ginger is supposed to be a good anti inflammatory - I’ll take any and all help I can get on that front right now.
Highlight of today - as I walked into the gym I realized I dressed up as my water bottle. I think the water bottle wore it better? 🤔 Maybe I’ll pass on my standard red riding hood or mini mouse costumes and rock this halloween as a stainless steel flask 😂.
Your reference in your post today to your “costume” made me laugh out loud! 😂😂🤣 Thank you. 💛2 -

Totally agree @Jana_2020
Recently I looked up the calories I ate at my starting weight 228 fairly sedentary
VS what I can eat now ~ 70 lbs down with 10K steps a day.
I can eat MORE CALORIES now and I’m a normal weight not obese, 5-6 years older, and shorter!!!!
The National Weight Control Registry study results make it clear….
NWCR Facts
You may find it interesting to know about the people who have enrolled in the registry thus far.
“80% of persons in the registry are women and 20% are men.
The "average" woman is 45 years of age and currently weighs 145 lbs, while the "average" man is 49 years of age and currently weighs 190 lbs.
Registry members have lost an average of 66 lbs and kept it off for 5.5 years.
These averages, however, hide a lot of diversity:
Weight losses have ranged from 30 to 300 lbs.
Duration of successful weight loss has ranged from 1 year to 66 years!
Some have lost the weight rapidly, while others have lost weight very slowly--over as many as 14 years.
We have also started to learn about how the weight loss was accomplished: 45% of registry participants lost the weight on their own and the other 55% lost weight with the help of some type of program.
98% of Registry participants report that they modified their food intake in some way to lose weight.
94% increased their physical activity, with the most frequently reported form of activity being walking.
There is variety in how NWCR members keep the weight off. Most report continuing to maintain a low calorie, low fat diet and doing high levels of activity.
78% eat breakfast every day.
75% weigh themselves at least once a week.
62% watch less than 10 hours of TV per week.
90% exercise, on average, about 1 hour per day.”
One of my major goals was to be able to join this study, which I did.
I used these results to plan my weight loss & maintenance approach.
I do not eat a low fat diet, nor a low calorie diet. I do exercise daily for over 90 minutes.
If you lose> 30lbs & keep it off for 1 year, you can too!

For the most part, I do feel better if I've done something resembling exercise during the day. And, on weekends, I may piss and moan, but when I get home after my "run" or ride, I am glad I did it. This weekend I'm down to a single day again as I'm going back up to Phoenix. This time to have a Mom/Son lunch date with my boy. I'm hoping without the added company of his sisters, he might actually talk to me and tell me more about how he's doing.
(He posted a mirror selfie of himself on Instagram the other day... I gotta say, I think he cleans up pretty. And my daughter's reaction when she saw the photo was... "Whoa!" Hahahahaha )
And, I know my mental thing is better after I've gone out for awhile. I also know that if I come back still tense and uptight, I am in a really bad place and I can't imagine what I would be feeling like if I hadn't gone out to walk or run or ride or something.The past couple of weeks have been a bit more draining than usual. And I've been reaching for high calorie foods rather than focusing my attentions elsewhere. I might try to walk some tomorrow at lunch. Have to figure out a new route since the one I used to use is torn up for construction. Hmmmm....7 -
Track: yes
Calories: yes
Exercise: yes- Treadmill: 22 min / 1.31 mi ... rather pathetic really ...
Tuesday is the one day of the week where I'm busier than normal and have time constraints but I could have managed another 10-15 mins on the treadmill but didn't out of laziness.

Exercise - 15 minutes MommaStrong video, 30 minute walk
Tracking - Preplanned, followed the plan
Calories - Under
Pass Days - 0
I have had periods in my life where I got a lot of exercise (mainly for work - I used to have a job where I walked through the woods - not on a trail, just over land. That is good exercise, especially when you do it all day! I really miss it.) I don't think I ever lost any weight doing a lot of exercise. Generally it let me eat a lot and maintain my weight. But I couldn't eat less - it just made me too hungry!
These days I get really a minimal amount of exercise, and it really doesn't affect my hunger. And, with trying to keep calories low, those extra 150 calories I get for exercise calories do make a difference! When I slept in and missed my exercise the other day and had to eat my corn without butter, it made me realize both how much I value those calories and how little it really is. 1 half hour slow walk = the calories in butter on an ear of corn. If I were not tracking I would feel like I should "earn" a lot more calories than that from a walk! That may be part of why exercise without tracking has never helped me lose weight.3 -
@Caroline_slowandsteady - I have had the same problem of thinking certain exercises burn way more calories than they actually do or assuming the food I’m eating has far fewer calories than they really do. Tracking is an eye opener for sure.2

Yes, yes and yes
Morning walking was my primary exercise. I started a strength workout but was called away in the middle of it and never got back to it. I also managed a few push-ups and an evening dog walk.3 -
@jamcnewman
Sounds like the pup walks you !! My saint did that until we bought a sporn harness it goes on like a traditional harness but goes up and around the front legs you give a gentle tug and it redirects them as they don’t like the sensation of something under the leg near the shoulder. Kind of like a rope under your arm pit and if you tug it’s uncomfortable a few times out with it and she was a grand walker.

✅ Exercise: 12 weight machines and 40 minutes of swimming
✅ Calories
✅ Tracked
With the exception of after knee surgery and during the pandemic getting exercise has never been my problem. I have spent a fair portion of my life overweight but fit because the problem has always been my eating. I have been successful in losing weight every time I tracked my eating- it makes me think differently about my choices. Last time I told myself that I just had to keep tracking as my lifestyle for the rest of my life. I did so for about 5 years and maintained my loss about that long.... slow learner. Seriously hoping I can get myself to do these monthly Ultamate Accountability Challenges for as long as they are offered to keep me on track and tracking.

The weekends are a struggle for me at the moment, which is something I need to work on asap.3 -
@KCJen - I'm no expert, but I've heard advice to re-evaluate your weekend. Allow yourself a few extra calories so you don't feel deprived but not so many calories that it negates what good habits/progress you've made during the week. For example, if you eat 1800 calories every day, cut it back to 1700 Mon - Fri, then allow yourself 2050 on Sat & Sun. The weekly calorie totals are the same, but you're giving yourself some grace on the weekend. Maybe that would help?????3

Triple nope for me.
Was good with tracking until about 10:30 and then started snacking bulk bags and quit tracking. I do know I was over a bit on calories. Exercise is definitely my weak point and it's completely a time management issue.4 -

I def hve noticed I dnt hve to use it as often now. I dnt really explain the challenge very well but 'video below covers it all. Xo
