17 lbs in 2 weeks is craziness. Don't worry about only having lost 1 lb look at what you've lost so far. The most I've ever lost in 2 weeks is 5 lbs. Don't let small numbers discourage you because tou will get them more and more often. You just have tonkeep going don't stop. It's still going in the right direction!2 -

Good Morning and Happy Monday.
I'm running a bit late today. I've had a busy morning here SO now I am trying to catch up with my usual posts on MFP. I wish you all a powerful start to your week!
Todays challenge question...
What do you like to do on REST days?0 -
On rest days I like catching up with my tv shows. If I happen to be all caught up then I like reading....all this of course providing the baby is taking his usual naps.
3 -
Yes I like to do as little as possible on my rest days but since I do have a four year old son as well as my daughter and husband a little is sometimes still a lot! Today is very sunny where I live so I hope to go get wet in the crooked river. :-)2

What do you like to do on REST days?
Rest days? What are those - lol I am sure most of us can relate .....
But seriously I know what you mean - rest from strenuous workouts.
For activity I walk or do gentle stretching yoga. I also like to read, draw and paint.2 -

Weekly Goals:
Ramadan is beginning tomorrow and I'm hoping I can manage working out and also limiting the foods I eat.
Struggles:
Hormonal problems. I should have lost more than 2 pounds this week but I lost just 1. Something is better than nothing, so I'm grateful but it means I had to re-evaluate my goals because I should expect to see half the result of my actual efforts.
Successes:
Continuous calorie deficits. Met many of my goals. Limited junk food. Logged in everything. Lost some weight :')3 -
What do I like to do on rest days:
At this point I can't really answer that question because I am in an exercise slump so it feels like everyday is a rest day. Once I get up to my 5-6 days a week (hopefully this week) I would agree with you it would be tv!!2 -
Rest days...
Absolutely nothing, napping ranks high (especially since any given day I have 1-2 cats napping on the sofa near me and I just want to snuggle up and nap with them - what a life!). Actually, I typically end up doing a full day of my favorite online game (it's a silly game called Bush Whacker 2, not any violent MMOs). I really should be doing projects around the house though.1 -

Rest Days are time with my husband. For 10 years we were either long distance or working opposite shifts, so I tried to enjoy any time I could get with him. I have a new schedule now, but I still just enjoy lazy time with him. Catching up on shows, just sitting outside on the deck, or walking to a local bar with neighbors. We don't have kids yet, so just trying to enjoy our free time while we can 3

Weekly Goals:
My goals for next week are:
- Lose 1lbs
- not to jump any meal
Struggles: I did lost weight but I had a terrible weekend foodwise. On Friday I weight in at 217.2 and on Monday at 214.6. I tend to under eat/over eat on weekends because i'm so busy that I *choose* to push back/jump a meal or the gates are open and I have no limits. I know this a disorder and I'm seeing someone for that. and I also know that a weekend of under eating as I did this weekend means that this week is gonna be especially hard to maintain a balance.
Successes: I'm at the lowest I have ever been for a very long time, probably over 5 years.3 -

What do I like to do on REST days?
Rest days usually mean taking some creative time for myself. Writing songs with my ukulele (or just playing really terrible rock music), drawing or journaling, vocal training, etc. Also, spending some much needed time with my partner and my kitty. Snuggles, tea, books, music, sometimes a movie... 3 -

What do I like to do on REST days?
Well, I LIKE to rest, sleep in, read a book, do lots of stretching, maybe soak in the tub with a face mask and some chocolate... But what do I actually do? I end up being really busy doing housework and running errands.
But every now and then I get to have "pamper me" days, so it's all good! 3 -
