I am really pleased with how well tracking is going! This week I want to make sure I'm drinking enough water.1 -
Weigh-in for this week: 147.5
I have bronchitis and am not eating anything but not losing weight either. Maybe it’s fluid. Hopefully, next week will be better.
Hopefully, you feel better. Did you want to change to Sunday?

I hate to ask, but I almost missed your weigh-in due to the format. I know you're not feeling well and understand. Be careful and take care.

@ajaia2001~ lol You’re too cute & funny. You got in a little “bonus” exercise by grocery shopping and laundry. 70 minutes of cardio! 👏 Awesome. Can I ask what you did? You’re doing so great!!
@jupdyke… Thanks! It was fun seeing that low number. It’s been a few months since I’ve seen that. Hard work pays off. Just need to keep working at it. You’ve got a solid plan and are so good about exercise! 👏 And again… Week #1 Biggest Loser challenge winner. Whooot whoooot!
@MaelynMayhem~ Another good day on the plan: lots of water and exercise. 👏 It sounds like you managed yesterday the best you could with starting out in the dark and now power. You did some great self-care by taking a bubble bath. That was good thinking!! Keep distracting and do your best. I’m glad you’re sharing and posting. 👭 Hopefully, that helps, too. Hugs 🤗
@maejestique ~ Nice consistent loss!! 👏 Awesome!!
@j0d13mcc ~ Yes, it was super exciting to take the top two and be the winning team. 👏 I hope that helps keep us all motivated!!
@_Cece_x ~ You can do it!! 👏
@johicks ~ You had a great week last week, stick to what worked and you will get back on track! You can analyze, but over analyze. Forgive and move on! Today is a new day!
@Jammypea & @Klilev ~ 👏Nice loss!👏
Keep working hard. (ME TOO!)
The three elements of what it takes to be successful at weight-loss and keeping it off are:
Run -keep moving
Track -know what you’re eating/ drinking
Mind -train your brain to be positive about yourself and okay with change(s).

I guess I underestimated how much walking I must have done last week while at my conference!

I’m preparing our team's mini-challenge V.I.C.T.O.R.Y post for May- Week #1. There is no shaming or pointing fingers here!! But, I was one of the few that gained. And I gained the most -1lb. in the first week of May's challenge. So, I am sending out an extra little challenge for EVERYONE. Of course, it’s optional. But, as captain, I feel the need to be the biggest cheerleader that I can possibly be. Let’s turn that corner to make it a loss over the next few weeks! AND keep going with those wonderful losses!
Here’s the support challenge:- For those of us that stayed the same or gained can you do one of the three (or all):
- Exercise 5-10 minutes more each day?
- Increase your water by 1-2 8oz. glasses per day?
- Eat 100 less calories per day?
- For those of you that loss. Can you please help us!?
- What was one thing that really worked for you in Week #1 of this challenge?
- Or what is something that you do to keep you on track and focused?
If you care to share on weigh-in day, please also reference the support challenge. Maybe it will be a good moment of reflection, as well as support for one another.
So, I lost 4 pound this past week. one thing that worked for me last week, despite traveling and being in another country (!), it that I tracked everything. This is kind of big for me, because I usually use traveling as an excuse to pig out and not care. Tracking my food really keeps me mindful and accountable. I also overcame the urge to stockpile food in my hotel room. When traveling, I get insecure about where/when my next meal is coming from; this time, I somehow was able to not worry about it and stay focused.3 - For those of us that stayed the same or gained can you do one of the three (or all):

Weigh-in Day: Monday
Previous Weight: 207
Today's Weight: 2062 -
Sunday:
5/5
Tracking: I wrote all my snacks and meals down. I ate small frequent low calorie items. I didn't track in MFP, but I'm sure I was under. I will start tracking in MFP on Monday though.
Exercise: Did my 10,000 steps. I was dragging and I was invited to a challenge on Fit bit and it motivated me to get my 10k for the day.
Goal/day: Mood was good. I didn't binge and I'm happy. I had a low calorie fudge ice cream bar and went to bed. I did have an urge to go eat some Flaming Hot's right after my ice cream, but I resisted by thinking of my goal to get to under 220lbs by the end of May.2 -
Daily Post - Monday (5/6)
Tracking: Yes
Calories: Under; Limit: 1500/Actual: 1271
Water: 31 cups (so far)
Exercise: Zombies, Run! (Let the Dogs Come Out - 33 minutes, walked additional to equal 60 minutes; Mummy's Hand - 43 minutes); 14,007 (steps with 500 more to go to get my active hours)
Day: It's been a rough one. I've had a lot of hallucinations. While on my walk, one little voice that gives me random directions to go in said go east, so I did, then north, so I did, then east again, and once again I followed and kept going. I walked a touch over a mile away from home. I didn't head anywhere I wasn't already familiar with the neighborhood. I turned around at National and Cherry and went back to my home block and resumed walking there. Later on I decided to walk in the park and head inwards instead of just circling the block. AND I got sunburned on my face. Oh, well, it's not bad but I am red. I told my CSS about following the voice she told me to stop doing that. I do my best to ignore the others, the ones telling me to hurt myself, to hit my head on the solid door frame or to stab myself with a knife. I was tempted today to hurt myself as the voices started to scream at me in unison, yelling insults and slurs. On top of the pain of the depression it was too much, and drawing my blood would have made it stop and go away. I spent time hooking (crocheting) and finished my grandmother's present. I'm doing the best that I can. It's just hard right now.1 -

Day: Bummed about my weigh in Not cool that I gained 1.6 lbs this week. I worked hard, so I'm frustrated. I am still down 6 lbs though from start and also down .5% body fat. About to get on a plane with my kiddos. Heading to Florida to see my parents and help take care of my mom this week as she is having 2 surgeries. It'll be nice to get in the warm weather. My parents are foodies, so the struggle will be real. Gonna try my best for a loss next week.1 -

@johicks I do bootcamp class 3 times a week and for my home workouts I get on YouTube and do high intensity (HIIT) workouts or I'll get on my elliptical machine.2 -

@skullsandskeletons~ 💣BOOM! 💥 NIce loss! You did do a lot of hobbling and did a great job on vaca of being mindful. 👏 Glad you joined this challenge when you did! So inspirational. Yes, we too can do it even when not at home.
@jwall309~ hugs to you! 🤗 I am sure Sunday was not an easy visit. I’m sure you glad you went. And glad you were still mindful of you’re eating for GOT viewing party.
@jactop~ Nice loss!! 👏
@Toyota100~ Great job 👏 for Sunday!! Way to envision the goal to stay on track!!
@MaelynMayhem~ Your Monday of water, exercise, steps, and tracking...💣BOOM! 💥. Great job! I’m glad you have some hobbies to keep you busy. What are you making for your grandmother? 🤗 Each day you’re closer to your appointment. Keep fighting and killing those zombies!!
@jupdyke~ Drats!! But, you’re right… you are overall still down 6lbs. Our bodies can be so complex... It’s frustrating!! But playing the “scale game” as I call it isn’t worth it. It’s trying to create a forever lifestyle. And realistically our weight will fluctuate. So, head high and keep at it! Your workouts of upper /lower inspire and remind me to do more. As far as logging my exercise into MFP daily, I don’t. I don’t like seeing that I could potentially eat more or eat what I was trying to work off. I just make a note of it and only see my intake calories on MFP. Safe travels. Hopefully, you’ll get some good beach time and some walks in to counteract the food. Have fun!!
@ajaia2001~ Great workouts!! Love hearing what everyone does for ideas. Another good Monday! And you did the new eating plan on a work day!! It will be interesting to see your results during this 21-day challenge. Hope they had you measure, too!
@skullsandskeletons~ Monday post- short, sweet, and on point!! Somedays, it is what it is.
I’m feeling kind of meh, today. TOM or mid-TOM must be around the corner. I’m at the age where nothing is regular anymore. So! I tell myself, hang on… it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride!! I have time to plan and pack my meals. And it doesn’t appear to be raining!
