    @BEASTFIELD314 love your happy place! I have no idea how to post using a spoiler to shorten.

    Mini Challenge

    Here is how it works - I am going to find a picture of my "happy place" (make sure it is forum appropriate, lol) and post it here. Tell a little about it and what it means to me. Then I will tag someone from our team - anyone - and it is their turn. Keep it going until we all get to post! (PS - I use the "spoiler" tag just so there isn't 100 pictures trying to load at once!)

    No loss is better than a gain! Pretty much maintained all of August. Now need to kick things back into gear and start losing again. Need to focus on more water, more sleep, and better food choices.

    I'm feeling pretty good today! I did a 4 mile hike yesterday and I'm really feeling it. I'm not working today so I'm getting the apartment all cleaned up. What is everyone else up to today?

    My happy place is Watson Mill State Park in GA. It is about 4 miles from our house, so we go hiking, walking, canoeing, or swimming almost every other day (at least 3-4x's a week) If I ever find myself homeless, I am going to live in this bridge!
    @BEASTFIELD314 & @cdavisdeva I would take a Christmas Park or a day at the beach ANY time someone offered it too :)
    I'm sorry, I also don't know how to use the spoiler setting either.
    Confession: I had to use a stock footage photo bucket pic of Watson Mill because I don't have any photos that don't have random friends and people that don't want to be tagged.

    I choose @roamingtiger (because I like your screen name)

    Daily Post: Tuesday September 5th
    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Yes - 30 min morning walk with kiddos and 22 min evening ab workout
    Goals/day: Good bit under on calories but balanced out from being over yesterday. So often I feed the kiddos and get busy with household duties, put them to bed and realized I haven't eaten dinner (and then it's too late to eat a full meal). We used to all sat down and eat together, but since the new baby it's hard to do sometimes. Going to work on that. I always enjoy sitting down as a family at meal time. It'll also help that I'm not eating so late as well.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under, but very poor food choices
    Exercise: 43 minutes on the treadmill @ 3.5 speed

    Goal: Ok, today was not a good day with handling stress eating. I forgot my lunch at home so I had to munch on the goodies that were at our union meeting, very poor choices! I was very shocked that when I logged everything that I was under my calorie count for the day. Tomorrow is the first day back with kids and I will do better!!

    Hey there everyone!

    I will be going through and updating the spreadsheet today with weights and daily posts. I will try to respond the best I can.... this has not been a great week at work, and soccer season (3 of my kids are in) and dance (2 of my kids are in) just started - so I have literally been on the go every. single. day. and. night. Combined with my 2nd job... you get the idea.

    I am proud of each and every single one of you. Just know that I am here, cheering you on!!!! I hope things settle down after this week. LOL!


    Today, Thursday, there are no scheduled weigh ins! Wooohooo! However, I do not have weigh ins for the following people still:

    @Djou11 @Fit_fad @shea2986 @bisonpitcher @rhyahcf

    May all you have a fabulous day! Like I said, I will try to respond the best I can.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: While one of kids were at soccer practice, I walked around the field about 15 times - almost 3 miles in total. Why not try to multitask!

    Gotta relax a little. There is a on on my plate, which causes great stress... great stress leads to lots of eating. Must have willpower and resist.

    Hey there @mellee1430 -

    Welcome to the team! Basically, the track section is just a yes/no on whether you tracked your calories and food intake for the day. A lot of people find that is one of the best and easiest ways to lose weight is to start logging all your calories. You wouldn't believe how many times I thought there was a certain amount in something and it was like 5x that amount!!!

    Track: Yes. I’ve missed a few entries last night but besides that I’ve been doing well.
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: every day so far this week. Mostly Orange Theory and have been going on 30 mins walks at work!
    Goals/Day: I’ve meal prepped and haven’t eaten out the past few days! That is a huge accomplishment for me. Will continue to meal prep and not eat out! I feel patient, consistent and disciplined.
