    Welp, not so great a start (yet). I was so pleased with getting down below 215 on the final Saturday weigh-in of the previous challenge that I threw all caution to the wind on a night out at my favorite restaurant this past Monday night. Then, the following day (yesterday), I had the "bright" idea of trying to cut waay back on my calories to make up for the splurge. Result: cranky, ravenous me...who then overate late that night to compensate. So that's why today's weigh-in finds me right back where I was last Wednesday.

    So, that said, here's what I'm going to do RIGHT starting today. 1) I am getting back on track with my logging. If I eat it, it gets logged. 2) No more overeating one day, starving the next. I will be focusing on consistency with this challenge. 3) Setting weekly goals for myself. My goal this week is to get up early and go for my long walk/jogs 3 more times before my next weigh-in (Monday).

    Welcome back to our returning challengers! :smiley: And welcome to all the new folks! I think you'll like it here.

    @MermaidPrincessRach : It's awesome that you got in a nice swim! :smiley: Way to go, and I hope that the muscles start feeling better soon. It's always like that following a new workout, for me as well.

    My Wednesday wish? Well, I'd really like there to be a break in the rain today so that I can take the kids out for a walk. It's been basically one continuous torrential downpour here since Saturday, and even though I love rain, it's starting to mess with my exercise plans. :smile:

    Hey SCALE ... that's not the direction you are supposed to be heading! ... This was a maintenance week for me ... didn't even try to 'cut calories' ... just ate to see what sifted through the numbers I keep. However, eating at will does have me eating an extra snack or two ... enough to add up to a whole 4th meal worth of calories that put me into the gain zone. This weeks goal ... maintenance eating but cut the snacks down or out.

    A great way to start it off!! Here's to hoping I can maintain this pace and crush my goal this challenge!!

    Also, got back to the gym yesterday morning for a pretty intense full-body workout - Bench press, squats, deadlifts, hip abductors, hip adductors, tricep extensions, shoulder press, bicep curls. Needless to say, I felt a bit like jello rolling out of bed this morning. Maybe a run tonight will help to work things out.

    Wednesday wish - that I could share some of the beautiful weather that is coming with all of you that are foreseeing rain. We have an unseasonably warm, sunny stretch coming though - 20 today, 26 tomorrow, 19 on friday, and then back to low teens. I'm looking forward to getting outside and taking advantage of it.

    Welcome to all the newcomers. I joined MFP in September and have found this thread very inspiring (although I must admit I read it more often than I post). I lost about 30 pounds from September - November while diligently logging my food on MFP and reading the threads and blogs for ideas and inspiration. Then, I went into hibernation mode over the winter, and while I didn't gain any of the weight back, I also didn't lose any weight. Since resuming on MFP at the end of March I've lost another 7 pounds (still have 85 pounds to go to get into the "healthy" weight zone). I am convinced that logging is the key to losing weight, even if you go over your intended calories on some days.

    Here are my stats for the first week of the challenge:

    I was pleased that I accomplished my goal in the earth day challenge. So I splurged a couple of times since Saturday. I didn't lose anything. Just glad I didn't gain. I'll have to get back in gear! My wish is that the weight would just drop off instead of having to work so hard at this.

    I will take a loss especially since I was at 280 late last week. I am battling Prednisone injections for lupus/arthritis... But I am down 10 pounds the last 6 weeks or so. I fully intend to win this war.

    No loss, no gain, no worries. Typical pattern. Lost about 8 pounds now I will hover for 5 or 7 days. I hope I don't shrink enough to need new pants! New shirts I already need,goodbye to more belly fat is fine by me.

    May the rest of you lose (weight)!

    No change for now. I have been hoverin between 276 and 278 for over 10 days. A little frustrating but I am not overly concerned since it happened when I was around 290. I did eat a little more this weekend but only went over my calories by 200ish (which is still around 400-500 below maintenance). I am hoping it moves before next week's weigh-in though!

    @MermaidPrincessRach Congrats on going swimming. I wish I knew someone who had a swimming pool! I hope your muscles heal fast!

    @RobinB0812 I love your ghost story, it actually made me chuckle. Hopefully Peter will eat those doughnuts before you are too tempted!

    As for my Wednesday wish I will have to join @RunningOnWontons and wish for some sun. The neighbour's tree is blooming and I want to take some nice photos of it before thunderstorms ruin it! A sunny sky would make a much lovelier background than those grey clouds!

    Next week is going to be a challenge for me, I'm flying two days so will NOT be drinking a lot of fluids those two days. Airline bathrooms are not my thing! I'll be spending 4 days with my son, his wife and my 5 grandchildren! Can't wait but I have no idea how my diet will be impacted by the meals my daughter in law fixes. Oh well, I'll do the best I can and enjoy the family without stressing about the calories too much.

    Yesterday, I was unable to log food intake and I can feel it this morning. The logger is working again, so back to logging! I want to try to plan better, so I am not going over calories. Everyone I am friends with on here seem to keep it under calories. Everyday is a chance to improve!
