    My arm lift surgery is Friday, May 8th

    I must keep hydrated throughout the week, and will exercise up to surgery day.

    June, I feel the same way. I've gained weight the past 2 weeks. Sometimes, I just wish someone would reach and grab me and stick my head in some ice water...ha ha. I'm determined to have a good week this time. I like what you said June, about a fresh start this week.

    1. Go to the gym each day--very important!
    2. Log everything
    3. Get on MFP every day.
    4. Try to squeeze in some "extra" exercise.

    I hope all goes well with your surgery, Jreedy. I imagine you are excited about the results. And I am with you, Amy and June. While I am exercising every day, I am clearly consuming too many calories. Ready to turn that around this week!

    I'm up a pound from last week, but blame that on restaurant food with my kids! We've got meals planned to cook at home this week, and having cereal and fresh fruit or oatmeal for breakfasts. Should be able to get back on track.

    I am trying to get more fruits and veggies. My doctor suggests 5-10 servings a day. I didn't realize how difficult that is to actually accomplish. My goal last week were all completed except i only did 17.1 miles instead of 18. And I am doing well with the numbers on the scale going down. I am excited that I am .8 away from my goal for this challenge. And I am hoping I don't do anything to screw it up. This is the first time i will have accomplished a goal in these challenges. My lack of sweets the last couple of weeks has been a huge help for me me.

    My goals this week are
    1) to actually make the 18 mile point this week
    2) drink plenty of water( I am finding drinking tons of water is also helping me in more ways then one)
    3) a minimum of 3 runs
    4)stay in my calories
    5) come on top in my fitbit challenge :smiley:

    Cumberland, glad you noticed your calorie consumption had gotten a little high. Sometimes it's hard to see things and that's a big part.

    tress, that should really help you with cooking more at home this week.

    Sassy, I love that smile and be positive goal. I also do my meal planning a day at a time.

    frey, seems like you've been replacing veggies and fruit, instead of sweets. How nice that your Dr. is helping you too. You're doing real well on this challenge and so glad of your successes.

    barb, good for you for tackling the planning part to avoid starving and eating lots. Good calorie goals. I'm also trying to get in more core workouts and be more consistent with it.

    I feel like I've turned a corner after a couple of tough weeks (hoping I'm right!). My goals:

    (1) I said this last week, but really focus on trying to get more sleep. I know it's a major part of why I've been struggling.
    (2) Stick to my new calorie goal.
    (3) Get in more swimming and biking (ideally I'd like to work in some bike commuting, but it's hard when there's a good chance I'll have to stay super late). Also, learn to ride my bike with the clipless pedals, as it's idiotic that I'm too nervous to ride it off the trainer--I'll have to change them back if I don't get over that soon.

    No weight loss today But had my first open water swim practice today! 1\2 mile in the ocean! Quite cool....then we had to race to shore, run to lifeguard station, do pushups and other things I did not do, run back to the water, swim out and back and repeat x 3! It was fun

    Or Dill Pickle chips...

    My downfall is always the salty snacks!
