    Food tracked and I’m under
    I’m new here and I’m very motivated
    11,000 step goal and usually beat that
    Long walks with my dogs, Zumba, and other classes at the gym. I’ve cut way back on eating, and a whole lot of water helps.

    Mini challenge 7/29
    Tracking Yes
    Calories Yes
    Exercise Yes Got out early to walk Brandy and then Hubby tried to do the "7 minute" exercises with me. My sides are sore from the Hula lessons yesterday and then laughing at hubby and I doing these exercises with the dog wanting to get involved made for a really funny scene. My mother used to say if she could be a fly on the wall and I think she probably was today.

    My name is Marsha and I have been doing this challenge since May 2018. My weight has been up and down but while on vacation starting eating Keto as some of my family members have done and boy does the weight come off for me. I came back from vacation on Monday July 23 and weighed 180 lbs.

    Weight today is 174.2 lbs. Whoo hoo. This works for me and I am feeling great.

    This is fantastic news, Marsha!! You had an enjoyable vacation, put on some weight, then came home and took it all off again in a week!!! I am glad that keto is working for you, and that you are feeling inspired!!! Welcome back to the Big Butts!!!

    Thanks. Glad to be back and doing well.

    @allison8668 Don't you dare step away. It take all kinds to make a team, slow, fast, up or down.

    Those of us who are a long way from almost to a normal BMI or goal enjoy seeing those of you who are almost there make it. You are our role models.

    And if you step away how will I know when to ring my bells and blow my whistle for you when you get there?

    @txmaryk99 Thank you for taking the time to post this reply. Very kind of you :smile:

    That is awesome that you have taken measurements...the scale doesn't tell the whole story! It sounds like you actually had a really great July, after all!!

    Yeah turns out I did. Thanks!

    Date - 7/29
    Food - Logged and under
    Exercise - 35min walk

    It was going to be a rest day - but I just felt like walking after dinner.

    And, a first for me - got bit / stung by a paper wasp. My husband and I were moving some furniture off the deck. Turns out they had a nest on the thing we were moving. We got about 8 feet - and then I felt this pinch on my finger and see 3 wasps up close and personal. Crap! I dropped that piece of furniture and ran the other way - turning to see 2 of them chasing after me. One got me in the butt. haha. It hurt more than a mosquito bite, and less than a yellow jacket bite. The paper wasps aren't usually aggressive, but I guess when you do something to their nest they get pissed off.

    Mini Challenge - 7/29
    logged: yes
    calories: no
    exercise: yes, 35 minutes run/walk intervals. 15 minutes weights

    Last week I was the DD for my wife at a concert. Last night she returned the favor. Lite beers put me over calories. But I woke up and hit the gym first thing in anticipation of getting some of those calories back.

    Never heard of paper wasps....glad it didn't hurt too much. On a positive note, you got a short run out of the ordeal!!!

    Hello everyone

    Thanks for the add to the team

    My name is Jamie and I am 62 young!

    I have 100 to lose 😬😬

    I have tried WW too many times to count and now realize that calories in/out makes the most sense

    My plan is simple: count calories and walk 1 hour (or bike) 60 minutes per day

    I am now off to walk! Have a great day everyone

    Welcome, Jamie!! I love how you have simplified your plan to lose weight....count calories and get 60 minutes of exercise!!! Sometimes we can make things more complicated that they need to be!! One day, one pound at a time...you got this!!!
