PS
Was feeling this morning like "hmm, should I wait to post later in the week, after all I have until Sunday to post, and can probably get rid of that weight gain I had late last week" ... but then I talked myself into being honest with myself and you and share my weight on my usual weigh-in day for this challenge ... which is Wednesday. ...
I see we have some new posters for this challenge ... just wanted to let you know that some new challenges that haven't started yet are starting next week ... check the challenges thread or the Groups page for New Groups ... so you can continue on after EarthDay if you like.

The EarthDay Weight Challenge expires on 4/22 ... that's a Saturday ... and my weigh-ins occur on Wednesdays ... so I think I'll take that extra few days in the last week and weigh in 4/5, 4/12, 4/19 AND 4/22 ... I can still reach my goal even with this weeks set back.
Me too!! I feel like I need those extra 3 days to make goal!

I am a little disappointed this week. I was expecting more than a 1 pound loss. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for a loss and not a gain, but yesterday I was down over 2 pounds. Fluctuating scale!! *curses*
I feel like my calorie intake was on target and I feel like I moved by body a lot more this past week than I usually do. I have a Samsung Gear Fit 2 and twice on Saturday it congratulated me an a good workout. I was confused because I wasn't working out and asked my daughter (who also has one) if she'd ever had that happen. After she rolled her eyes at me, she said she gets it all the time when she moves vigorously. The Gear Fit picks it up as a workout. I was just vacuuming, something I typically won't do because of my back problems. I guess it was enough movement for the Gear Fit to pick it up as a workout.
Anyway, I am going to chalk it up to my body adjusting and maybe I'll see a bigger than normal loss next week. Time will tell!
Until next time; wishing everyone Peace
, Love 
and Weight Loss !! 2 -
I was in the Smoky Mountains for a four day/five night getaway with all my kids and grands. We had a wonderful time and I ate too much, but I did walk a lot and tried to keep up with the water intake too. No scale so I had to wait until I got home. I was up 5 pounds but full of fluid, so it will take a few days to get that back down to see what the true weight is. I will try to do my weigh in on Friday per usual.
@birgitkwood - So proud of you! That is awesome! I know you are soooo happy with your choice to get healthy. I don't expect to see that much gone that fast, at the rate I'm going but I'm thrilled to be where I am at this point, because every pound helps!
@320sycamore I'm so happy to see you back, we've missed you!
Welcome to all the new folks, you should love this group, I know I do!

So, weird! Somehow I managed to GAIN 1.2 lbs! Haven't really done anything different than every other week. But OK, probably just body adjustment and will go back down again. Kinda bums me out, though - I've never gained THAT much before without good reason. But whatever... it's a journey, right?1 -
congrats @birgitkwood that is an awesome achievement! Are you just on maintenance now or are you still looking to lose?
I'm still looking to lose, maybe another 10 lbs or so to get to "healthy BMI." And frankly, I'm kinda scared to really commit to "maintaining." I mean, I basically know how to lose (having done it a thousand times in my 62 yrs on Earth) -- but I've never before been successful at maintaining. It will be a new world for me. But I've never before had MFP to help track my calorie intake, nor have I ever before had my fabulous MFP friends community. So this time will be different!! But it's a few more weeks yet before I really have to worry about it. lol

He recovered significantly but not completely, so our lives have been impacted since then. However, I am determined that if you could make healthy choices and changes, then so can I. I've beat the smoking and dropped 30 pounds, just need to stay the course. Congratulations amazing one year accomplishments!
I understand! My husband had a very serious stroke in April of 2015. It was only thru modern medicine, and state-of-the-art surgery that he survived. Not only did he survive, but he worked incredibly hard to regain most of his mental and physical functioning. It's a struggle, and continues to be -- and we didn't have a young child to worry about. I can't even imagine what YOUR and your husband's struggle must have been (and continue to be, I'm sure). You are MY hero!!2 -
I hate people who don't work, and have kids, they are SAHM, and talk about going running and then taking a nap.
No excuses, but my exercise program would be much easier if I did not work 40 hours a week, with almost an hour commute each way.
Just venting.
On an up note, my spin cycle arrived yesterday! Setting it up this weekend. Xterra.3 -

Gah. Weight gain this week. I am back on track now, though...plus, I'm tickled that I've lost 9 lbs over the past month. I hope this coming week's weigh-in sees me moving back DOWN the scale. 0 -
Also...congrats Birgit!
What an AWESOME achievement (as in, I am in awe of what you've accomplished). Way to go. 1 -
Tomorrow marks 100 days since I started following the DASH plan. I am not where I had hoped to be but I am thankful to be where I am. 10-15 lbs lost ... 140 lbs to go ...2

Hi Everyone!
I'm a past active poster on this thread back to try and drop the rest of my excess pounds. I started on MFP back in June 2013 and as of August 2014 lost 114 lbs. Since then I've managed to keep most of it off (currently up 7 lbs from my lowest weight), but I haven't lost all I want.
So I'm back to try and rid myself of the last 25 ish pounds. I hope to at least trim off 10 of them before my daughter's wedding in June. Nothing like the threat of photographic evidence to set me on the straight and narrow.
Glad to see some of the same folks still posting here and to see so many new names!2 -

Thursday Truth ... Yesterday, I stayed under my total calories goal but still 'blew' my diet. The price for this is not added weight this morning, it's a rise in my fasting blood glucose and also in my blood pressure ... and that action that blew it was having a large meal for supper that was high in carbohydrates. ... I made myself a huge bowl (3 servings worth) of spaghetti and had it with a veggie/tuna red sauce. Delicious. Satisfying. Something I haven't done (eating that much pasta at one time) in over a year. And, like overeating on calories, for me ... overeating on carbs will take a few days to stabalize while eating at a lower carb range than normal. My daily targe for carbs is under 45% and yesterday it came in at 60% ... and I will need to strive for under 40% until my overworked system can find it's balance once again. Not something I want to do very often, but I'm not sorry I had one of my favorites yesterday.
Welcome back @Lives2Travel ... This losing weight and staying at the weight we want is a lifetime affair!0 -
For the last 3 days I made a conscious effort of logging my fluid intake and increasing it. I normally would say I drink around 2L of water (give or take depending on if I remember to drink).
I have put my fitbit goal at 4L and have been drinking anywhere between 3 and 3.5 and wow -2lbs in 2 days!
On the downside though I have to pee every hour or so and it is starting to be very inconvenient... especially after I lie down for the night1 -
Okaaaayyy. MfP cut my post so here it goes.
@MermaidPrincessRach Congrats on 100 days! It doesnt matter if you lost 10 or 100lbs you are loosing and taking the steps towards your goal and that's what matters!
@Lives2Travel Welcome back. I am rather new but I love this group! It helps so much. Congrats on not only loosing the weight but keeping it off!
@Nikion901 Days like that happen. I think we all wish they didnt but they do. Today is a new day and it sounds like you are compensating for that big meal so kuddos to you1 -

@MermaidPrincessRach - I am on day 16 of the DASH diet, still struggling to keep my sodium down, though since I started logging my food again it has been easier to see where those mg of sodium come from (my lunch had almost 700 mg!). I am limited to 2000 mg/day and only 2000 ml of liquid.1
