    My check-in: My Making Strides event is on Saturday! I've got to fit in some running this week, but I think I am ready! WOO HOO! About to run my first 5K!! Bucket List item! :)
  • Doing well! I've lost 5 pounds since I joined the group in August. The food tracker works really well & doesn't let me avoid the truth of how eating a few extra calories here & there really add up. I also love seeing how my workouts directly translate to extra calories burned!
  • I know you can do it, Kara!

    Nice job on the weight loss mwilliams. I have lost and gained the same 4 pounds so many times. Really struggling with being honest with what I eat. (I love logging in the exercise though.) Need to get some accountablility. Also need to suck it up and just do it. Any suggestions?
  • It's really been due to using the app to be accountable for what I put in my mouth every day. I find that tracking everything I eat in my food diary has helped me recognize how many extra (& empty!) calories & was eating. As a result I've been more conscious of my choices, & over the past 2 months I've just cut back a little of that extra stuff & boosted my exercise a little more too. The weight loss has been slow (1 lb every 2 weeks or so) but steady. Little changes really do add up!
