    Water Challenge
    Apr 1: 6 glasses
    Apr 2: 6 glasses
    Apr 3: 6 glasses
    Apr 4: 8 glasses!
    Apr 5: 3 glasses
    Apr 6: 8 glasses!

    Forgot to post goals for Sat!
    And it’s already 2pm!

    But anyway

    - 8 glasses
    - Log everything
    - Learn more about macro/calorie to make sure I’m doing it right!
    - Exercise - no biggie if I can’t, but atleast set up the amazon box

    ————————

    I’m absolutely loving @joan6630 Challenge! Look how well I’m doing!
    This is coming from someone who normally drinks 1-2 cups of water daily.

    I was thinking, maybe we should have a challenge every month!
    But something different each time!

    I was thinking we could all make suggestions to see which one would be suitable for ALL of us and then choose which one we’ll do ready for May :)

    So maybe, perfect logging, or daily 5 fruit/veg or X amount of steps daily (probs not 10000 but maybe 5000?) or even daily positive affirmation?
    I dunno, someone will probs have better ideas but I’m thinking monthly challenges could be a good thing?
    What do you all think?

    I have been doing 10 of something every hour. Squats, wall push ups, lunges, pacing for 10 minutes. Whatever I can do.

    @joan6630 Do you have any thoughts on what the next quilt will be? Personally, I find it difficult to shut my quilting brain up. As I'm finishing a project it gets louder and louder. :D

    Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food...my sweet tooth, especially chocolate...portion control...FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). I weigh myself daily and log weekly / posting my Saturday a.m. weigh-in here. [My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.]

    Age 60, 5'4" (lost 1/2" somewhere)
    GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
    GW #2: 145 normal BMI
    UG maintain: 140 - 145 [anything less is probably unsustainable]
    March Goal = 152.5

    11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
    1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:
    5/31/17 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations / committed to posting weekly weigh-in
    06/03 = 177.5
    06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before

    08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
    08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
    09/02 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:

    10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
    11/04 = 163.0 wow, really surprised at this, daily fluctuations very up and down this week
    11/11 = 164.5 this is temporary b/c very high sodium yesterday
    11/18 = 162.0 big surprise, especially b/c I weigh myself daily and didn't see this all week

    01/27 = 156.5 maintaining / not a bad thing
    02/03 = sick / no weigh in
    02/10 = 152.5 unhealthy loss due to illness / I know weight will go back up & I'm totally fine with that

    Weigh-in

    Starting weight Jan 1, 2017: 217
    Starting weight Jan 1, 2018: 195.5

    January 1: 194.5
    Feb 1 : 190.2
    March 1 : 193.6

    April 7: 196.4 --- Not down as much as I had hoped, but, still in the right direction!


    April Goals:
    1. Lose 4 pounds - 1 pound a week = 194 (hoping to lose more, but this will be my goal)
