    What's up squad? Happy Monday!

    Super inspirational reading through everyones posts. Even when yall have a "low day" with your steps, its still remarkable to me. I am not really mobile right now, but feel like that is going to change as I continue with physical therapy and shed some lbs.. I currently can make it from one room to another, so I have chairs strategically placed in each room.

    That said, I would like to start keeping track of my steps, but am not sure what to buy. Is anyone familiar with a myfitnesspal compatible tracker that has an option to purchase larger wrist bands? From what I have read fitbit no longer makes xl bands.

    I use fitbit and have ordered larger non fitbit bands on Amazon. Works great. My fitbit is a definite tool in my weight loss journey. I started with steps and now I concentrate on the active zone minutes.

    I needed to see this! I was setting up a chart with little prizes at certain weight points and one for the goals I put in pizza. What a self-sabotage that wouldve been. I will need to think of new motivation!

    I sometimes use food as a motivator. To learn that my fave high calorie foods are doable. We all have triggers and if we have them around we eat and eat. I can make peanut butter cookies or other treats and only eat within my limit. But I dare not make a pineapple upside down cake as I will sit at the table until it is gone! But! One nummy slice from the quaint place up the road is a nice reward to teach me I can enjoy and I can thrive. The more I lose and the more healthy I become clothes become a reward or a longer walk or or or lol.

    Oh cool! I swam laps for 66 minutes with a few pauses in there so let's call it 60 mins. I have a snorkel I use so I don't have to concentrate on breathing. Love the silence and my ability to destress. This was my first time back in months so let's call it a leisurely pace. Thank you

    @Mama530 If you pull weeds like I do you actually are in a squat hold the whole time you pull. Great gardening burn!

    Pizza can be healthy .... not my thing, but i believe Greg @JaysFan82 has a low calorie version which I'm sure he'll share with you!

    OK so hear me out on this cause I know it doesn't sound appealing but it is if you have a good sauce

    I order no cheese, no meat pizza. Just dough, sauce and veggies. Throw a bit of hot sauce on it and bam. Or I'll have a frozen pizza but I make sure the whole thing is under 800 calories. I've had vegan pizzas with cauliflower crust that were fantastic.

    I've learned to take my favourite unhealthy foods like pizza and tweak them enough where they still taste great but aren't as nearly as bad. I love chicken shawarmas but ill only get one scoop of garlic sauce instead of three heaping and pack it full of veggies and protein.I do completely stay away from stuff that has zero nutritional value like candy and potato chips and i dont eat pork or red meat, but I've found stuff like these incredible Honey Dijon pea protein chips at Wal Mart that are like 180 calories for the entire bag, have 10 grams of protein and taste amazing. You just gotta see what's out there and take a risk here and there. You'd be surprised what's out there.

    Fantastic loss! Is this a diet you plan to follow?

    Hi Linda, thank you! Many years ago I followed the Dukan diet, and it worked for me very well until I stopped dieting. 🙄
    I know that dieting doesn't work for me, so I'm trying to stick with a healthier lifestyle.
