    Exercise? 1.5 hr walk
    In budget? Under today, but not sure I believe the Noodles & Company website for the dish I got for lunch. Sure tasted like more than they indicated. Was definitely a sodium nightmare. Hadn't been there in probably 2 years so should have checked nutrition info first.
    Tracked.? Yes

    @jodilynnreeves I have that problem sometimes. Normally I just let it go as a “buffer” in case I ate more of something else, but sometimes I will estimate how many calories I shorted myself and add it in as a custom exercise. I am especially likely to do that if I held back the carbs because that’s a higher number of calories and I’ll probably be hungry if I don’t eat them. 🤣

    I really watch my carbs as that I am prediabetic and I have been told to by my dr. And with 1060 calories and 66 carbs I new that wasn't right for what I ate. Low carb is under 50 carbs. I have found that it takes a few weeks to get over what I call the low carb funk but once you get through that it isn't bad. But if I go over board with the carbs I pay for it and spend that day in the bathroom and just being sick to where I won't eat at all.

    It is all about finding what works for you and eating good nutrition as he weightloss journey is won or lost in the kitchen.

    Good Morning, Team!

    Today begins our weekly challenge for June. Every Wednesday, because it’s sometimes a tough day to get through, we’ll start a new challenge.

    Today’s challenge is to try to increase our exercise each day, either by time or distance. If you do 20 minutes of walking each day, try to increase your time for today and each day the rest of the week. You can post using this format if you'd like.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
    Gutbusters Weekly Challenge:
    Did I increase my exercise from yesterday?

    Hi Team, I’m so sorry I’m late with seeing I was placed on a team and the welcome from Bonnie. I’m really excited!
    If you don’t mind me asking what is “PW”?
    Also, I walk 30 minutes daily during lunch with coworkers. I don’t track calories but I do attempt to track what I eat and drink.

    I didn’t weigh myself on Monday because I didn’t know I was on a team. My SW was 277.4. Should I weigh myself tonight?

    Sorry for the questions but again I’m really excited to be apart of the team. I think this is just what I need to get back on track.

    Hi again! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kenya, 42 yrs old, live in NY and I’m a mom of a 16 yr old (God Help Me, lol). I’ve always struggled with my weight. Up down, up down and for the last couple of years, gradually going up. I know for health reasons and just to be confortable with myself I need to get it together. I did a challenge about 4 years ago and got so close to Onerderlsnd but because I lost so much I figured I could binge a little. I guess I never stopped lol. Anywho, I’m excited to be on the team and looking forward to losing with all of you.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? No, yesterday was a day of running from errand to the next.

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

    Did I increase my exercise from yesterday? No

    Due to health issues I will be starting my walking exercise next week. I know I will be at my first goal weight of 200 by that time.

    Also unpacking a house, organizing, moving boxes here to there is untraditional exercise but right now that is about all my body can do.

    I have been concentrating on my kitchen and my fish aquarium. I am redoing the stand. The actual aquarium is sitting on my island. So it is impeding me getting the kitchen done. Plus my poor fish were use to their 55 gallon mansion. And they probably feel like they got stuck in a tiny studio that is rent control in Brooklyn. They are currently in a 10 gallon.

    And on a separate note do not wear your Fitbit while using a sander because I messed up something or jiggled something lose. Thankfully I have a back up fitbit.
