    Happy Saturday the weekends are always hard for me because I’m on the go and I never cook at home. I thought I was going to for sure go over my calories today but wow I haven’t had dinner yet and I still have almost 500 cal I’m so amazed! Hope the weekend is going good for you all 🤗

    Good morning! Success: I'm down five pounds since starting this challenge last week. Very happy and relieved as I'd been climbing slowly but steadily for several months. Thank you to everyone for being in the challenge, I find your postings very helpful and encouraging. I'm new to MFP and am enjoying tracking my food and exercise, I hope this lasts :) I had a good brisk walk after dinner yesterday, first one in a looong time, and enjoyed how I felt during and after. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

    Awesome!! I am so happy for you!!!

    I'm joining in here because I've hit a plateau. I've been tracking my meals on MFP for 140 days in a row. I'm much more conscious of what I can and cannot eat, and it's resulted in a loss of about a pound a week. I've relaxed a bit though, gotten comfortable, eaten a treat here and there, been lazy instead of going for a walk. So, I've been the same weight for 3 weeks. Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I don't want to see the same #. As soon as I post this I'm putting on my tennis shoes and walking. H: 5'5", W: 153, Age: 38, Goal: 145 before the year ends.

    You can do it! BTW we are basically the same height and weight with the same goal 😀

    Happy Sunday - last day of our week and let’s make it a good one! Yesterday was a very odd day here. Had a really good breakfast, we went off to get our oil changed and there is a state park about 20 minutes away so we went over there and walked for about an hour. Then we drove to church (we like the Saturday evening service), went grocery shopping and by then was STARVING!!! We only had healthy snacks for lunch. We got a small gluten free pizza and ate it at 9:00 pm last night. I haven’t logged the pizza yet, but definitely over in carbs 😀 scale however was ok this morning. No repeating this today! Thank goodness we got in some exercise to help!!

    Housekeeping news: reminder tomorrow is your weigh in and post the goals you want to work on this week. I am finalizing mine today in my head!!

    Have a wonderful Sunday!!

    Well, I ate pretty good this weekend, though I did give in and have some cheese bread because there wasn't another option while out shopping. Should have planned ahead. Thank goodness the calories burned from shopping made up for the treat. What really made difference was all the cleaning I did this weekend. So, even though I forgot to weigh myself BEFORE breakfast there was still a weight drop showing on my scale. 152!

    Really happy to have broken a plateau. A steady 1lb loss p/w is right where I want to be. Fingers crossed that I can keep it up so I can hit my GW by the end of the year. So this coming week I'm going to focus on my water intake, 5 gym sessions and stick to my meal plan.

    I track with happy scale too so I’m not too concerned about my weight staying the same. I know my trend and the scale will catch up. I just need to keep tracking all my food and stay within my calorie limits.

    GW : 138
    SW: 141.2
    Oct 15: 140.8

    Week 1 Goals:
    1. complete my exercise circles (apple watch)
    2. log my food daily (on a different site)
    3. no alcohol for the week
    4. pt stretching and some strength training exercises

    Week 2 Goals:
    It was a tough week and I was about 60% for week 1 due to a lot of work and social commitments. This week will be just as challenging since I will be traveling and having more social commitments than normal. I will focus on the same goals and do the best that I can.

    I enjoy reading through everyone's goals. It is a good reminder of things that I should be doing.

    I am a week behind you all but still super psyched to be here.
    Start weight 202
    Goal weight 140 (long way to go)
    10/15 195!! Can’t believe it! It’s been really hard but I think this will be the time I actually do it. My goal for this week is to stay away from the fast easy meals that are so bad for me. From fast food to frozen food in my freezer. To be honest this will
    Be my goal most weeks. I can do it though. Wish me luck!

    Today's quotes:

    [b“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
    -Confucious    [/b]

    Isn't this the truth??!! I've noticed this time around I'm really happy with any loss, any new positive habit I develop. It's about moving forward and not moving backwards. Not sure what shifted in my brain :)

    Yesterday was a great day! 24 grams net carbs and fat and protein were spot on! I'll just repeat it again today!

    Have a wonderful Tuesday friends!!!
