Well, I crushed my steps goal and have gotten over 11,000 steps today. Still no weight loss
BUT I have went to the gym two days in a row and stayed under my calorie limit 0 -
Tough day. Have been sick, double ear infection and fever. Only got 10 minutes on the elliptical today. Tomorrow is,a new day.0

I'm joining a bit late! I'd like to lose 3.6kg by Paddy's Day (the day of my people), workout in some way 6 days per week and meet my calorie goal daily with one day where I eat back my exercise calories in full to avoid lapsing/cheating.
SW: 72.6kg (160lbs)
GW: 69kg (152lbs)0 -
checking in met all my goals today. Now I can put my head on the pillow and sleep so I don't eat

next time you hit the scale it'll be down sometimes takes 3 days to show up. Don't give up keep pluggin' away and you'll see progress in inches or pounds!0 -
I'm late but I would really like to lose 5lbs by St. Patrick's day. Fingers crossed. Any advice?
SW:150lbs
CW:145lbs
GW:140lbs by St. Patrick's day and 135lbs by my bday 4/220 -
Ps... My biggest weakness is that I'm the hungriest at night. So, Im going to try not to eat after 8pm.0

This is not the St. Patrick's day challenge I was looking for. Carry on.0

Day 7. 6km walk AND a 22-minute workout with weights with my daughter! Good day.0
-
I had a really awful day and especially night. I ended up 400 or so over in calories due to having 3 drinks. I'm going to add to my goals to not drink for the next three weeks.0

(I'm not quite sure weighed then, but have a ballpark idea). Logging food at least 2 meals a day (paper log is ok). 60,000+ steps for the week.
SW: 208.6 lb
GW: 199.8 lb for more than one day in a row
CW: 203.8 lb. Of course my real goal is to weigh less than my husband, but that is a moving target since he's been losing as well. I'm low on steps so far this week, partly because I misread my pedometer last night and partly because I decided to lay around on the couch last night instead of my to-do list. I'll just have to push harder to actually meet my weekly step goal0 -

Also keep in mind:
1. Your weight today reflects what you ate 2-3 days ago.
2. If you are exercising, you can see a small increase as muscle increases.
3. Weight is not exactly calories in/calories out as we have been led to believe. (Sleep, stress, macros, exercise - all influence weight changes.)
4. Keep doing what you're doing and the magic will happen. Trust the process.0 -
Day 8 ... no weights today but 122 minutes of walking and stayed in my cal limit. That's something.0

I am joining late but I would like to lose 6 lbs by St. Pattys day. I have been hitting the gym three times a week and really logging every bit of food I put in my mouth. I am trying to eat bigger lunches and just salad for dinner.

Day 1 for me. Its going to be 40 degrees (104 Fahrenheit for US peeps) in Sydney today so I got up at 6am and completely Week 3 Full Body of Kayla Itsines BBG. This means that although it is only Thursday morning, I've exercised 5 times this week. Feel brilliant about it0

Thus will be a double check-in since I didn't do it yesterday. I got my walk and vitamins in yesterday and stayed within my nutritional goals. I didn't drink enough water though. I always struggle with that. Today...so far so good. Just two more waters to get in. Yay!0

I'm in! 10 by St. Patrick's Day! Been off the wagon for a long time and its time to get back in the game!

Feel better today than yesterday. Elliptical work out done. Still under calories for the day. But down 4 pounds and 6 inches.
I like feeling accountable to the group it is helping stay on track. Keep up the good work folks, don't be your own worst enemy. Find the positive!!!!0 -

Haven't weighed myself yet but it's been three days in a row at the gym! I also stayed under my calorie limit...barely.0
-
I would like to lose 8lbs as well. I think it's doable. Doesn't anyone have any advice that helps them? I'm still fairly new to this and I find it hard to keep on track sometimes. Does anyone have helpful tricks or any foods they like to substitute for "junk food".
Thanks.

Checking in. Great job everyone. Aerobics and 2 yoga tapes today. I really needed to stretch before and after. My hip flexors were killing me! I feel so much better. Hope we all stay on track tomorrow!0

Kale chips instead of potatoe chips
Powdered 85% less fat peanut butter (reconstituted) vs regular on celery
Flax seed crackers or pita chips vs Doritos, etc
Popcorn (air popped) with butter flavored spray vs bagged
Hummus vs high fat dips
Saltines with low fat cheese or sugar free jelly
Animal crackers or vanilla wafers vs Oreos, etc.
Greek yogurt triple zero vs high sugared types.
These are just a few, and go for fruits and veggies first.
Smoothies! Vs ice cream
