Hello. My name is Marsha and I have been with this group since May of this year. I have slacked off the last couple of weeks but started my commitment again this weekend and I am dedicated to getting this weight off. I am 64 years old and started lifting weights July 1st and plan to lose 50 pounds by the end of the year.3

Hi everyone! I'm Amy and I'm also one of the newbies to this group! I would like to lose about 25-30 pounds and have been struggling to get motivated! I've been 'thinking' about getting focused on my weight loss goal for about 2 years now. lol. I'm hoping that this will help to keep me on track. Today is day 1 of being more aware of and tracking what I eat. I'm hoping once I get into a routine it will be much easier.

Ok, really wanted a Wendy’s small chocolate frosty today since it was sooooo hot. Reminded myself that tomorrow is my weigh in day, so managed to drive past & drink a bottle of water instead. It was cold, just lacked the chocolate!! 😏4

Wow! I just quickly scanned through your posts from the last day or two, and you all have been busy!! My long holiday weekend meant I wasn't at my computer very much, but I will get caught up, eventually! Please be patient with me!! I do also have to go for a run and go to work today. Back to reality, I guess!!1

My belief and goals have to do with getting healthier, leaner, stronger and staying on track. So glad to be here with all of you! (I don't want to merely show up for life activities... I want to show up looking and feeling like a positive force of amazing natural energy!) It's the first of a new month and I'm quoting a song... "It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life... and I'm feeling gooooooooood!"
Youtube Song Link: I'm Feeling Good!
Hi, Lorrie, and welcome to our team!! I love your attitude, and your song choice reflects that!! That mindset, of wanting to participate fully in life's activities and not just merely show up, along with getting healthier, leaner and stronger will go a long way to keeping your MS symptoms at bay. Here's hoping July is a great month for you!!1 -
Mini Challenge 7/1/18
Tracking: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: 1.74 Hike up Kennesaw Mountain and 2.01 mile walk/jog down the mountain road
Steps: 10,605
Water: 132 ounces
I'm thinking since my official start wait on the spreadsheet is listed as 6/30/18 and I stated my weigh day would be Sunday so I weigh next Sunday not today right since that was yesterday. But in case I am wrong when I weighed in this morning weighed 228.8lbs which is down from 229.2 so down 0.4lbs
Hey, Crystal. Yes, since this challenge goes from Sunday to Saturday, if your weigh-in day is Sunday, then you post your weight for week #1 on the first day of the challenge. I know it wasn't a big loss because it wasn't a very long period of time, but nice loss all the same!!
Your hike and jog sound awesome! Great water intake, too!!0 -
Mini challenge
Sun 7/1
Tracking: no
Calories: probably, but since I didn't track i’ll just say no. I only ate twice today and didn't each much each time. But since food was provided by my sister in law I didn't know what everything was exactly and didn't bother trying to guess
Exercise: yes, swimming
Even though you don't have any stats to back it up, it sounds like you did have a very good day!!0 -
Mini challenge
7/1
Tracking Yes
Calories I am going to say NO even though it looks like yes. We went to the farmers market and jamboree today so even with trying to find best guesses when logging I'm pretty sure there were calories not accounted for.
Exercise Yes Walking at the farmers market and then bodyweight exercises at home.
If you logged everything the best you could, and you came out with an "under", then we'll count that for the challenge! That is how MFP works, even though you have your own doubts for the day!!0 -

Finished my exercises just before 11pm yet my goal is to exercise earlier. Daytime is too hot and humid for me (even with A/C) so I'm trying to work on getting to sleep earlier and rising earlier. It's tricky because I start to feel more energetic when evening sets in. Glad to be exercising accountability again.
Our bodies don't care when we exercise, but they do appreciate it when we do!! Great job on getting in some exercise!!!0 -

Exercise: Yes - 50mins exercise bike. 60mins swimming
Calories: ate at maintenance. I havnt swam in awhile and I think it made me ravenously hungry. Take it for what it is and do better tomorrow.
Tracking: Yes
You probably burned more than you thought you did, if you were that hungry after your swim (and don't forget the biking calories burned as well!!) Maybe your diary didn't say "under" but to me it sounds like you had a very good day!!0
