TEAM: The Big Butt Theory (April)
Replies
-
02nd April 18 - 1/2 hr on Cross Trainer in the morning added 149 calories to my daily total of calories which I managed to stay within - food and drink tracked. Went to a pub quiz with friends in the evening and had 2x Vodka and Slimline Tonics, does anybody know what drinks are best to have when watching the calories? I don't like Diet Coke as it keeps me awake, mind buzzes at night0

Yes I did go up slightly but its ok I'm back on track after the break I think
Thanks for the continual motivation hun 1 -

I love drinking sparkling waters like Perrier or Pellegrino. Sometimes, I add just a dab of juice to kick up the flavor. But the carbonation still satisfies that extra something I would enjoy with a soda.1 -

Great suggestions if you are not looking for something alcoholic. If you are, that might be harder if you don't enjoy diet mixes. My son used to drink vodka and water with a little flavouring (like Crystal Lite) or flavoured vodka and water when he was trying to lose some weight but not willing to give up being the very social drinker that he is!! Maybe you could bring your own flavouring to the pub? There are some low calorie beers out there... A small glass of wine is under 200 calories, I think?1 -

April week 1
Username: miroller
Previous weight: 177.4
Current weight: 179.2
An expected gain with basically no exercise this week and gobs of easter feasting. Looking back on MFP, a year ago I was at 158. Depressing yet motivating at the same time. I had just finished a Biggest Loser challenge at my gym, which was great (and what inspired me to join this group last month). Forward.1 -

Slow and steady wins the step race!! 200 oz is a lot of water...good luck with that!! The only water formula I have ever heard is to drink half your body weight in ounces.0 -

You may have struggled with the Cross Trainer, but you didn't let it beat you!!! You persevered and were rewarded with enough banked calories to have a small slice of cake!!! Nicely done!!

Great perspective!! You and @okalex are both inspired this month to reach an old MFP weight within your grasp!! Let's leave Easter behind and, indeed, go forward!!0 -

I had a weird day, with a stomach ache and low appetite all day. But it was my son’s 8th birthday and we went to a trampoline park, so I jumped and climbed a little with the kids even though I didn’t really feel like it. That was it for exercise.

I hate to keep blaming this on personal issues but right now that's all I can blame it on. We are dealing with a pretty tough, unfortunate thing that has happened in our family and everyone is just really down. I'm trying not to eat my feelings but that seems to be my go to. I was really hoping for nicer weather to just give me a pick me up...but we got snow instead.
I am tracking, I'm not over by a huge amount but enough to not cause weight loss.4
