    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!

    Wk 1: 143

    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.

    Today's quote is pretty good!!
