@murdog3t, hope you got some good news from the doctor!!

QUESTION OF THE WEEK - What do you eat right before bed that keep you from waking up hungry in the middle of the night?

Good Question!

I don't tend to eat too much after dinner when I'm focused (however I'm not always that good which is why I'm at my current weight!)

When I am focused....I make up a bunch of diet jelly serves and keep them in the fridge and eat one of those. Low calories...and it gives me that sweet hit!
Otherwise; yoghurt. I give that to my kids too if they are still hungry before bed. Fills them up...fills me up as well!

Wish i had a bike ride on here again but let's just say my bike seat was not my friend after the past two rides. Thinking i should have rode on nice smooth pavement and not rocky hilly dirt roads! 🤪

@murdog3t - 2 hours there and 1.5 hours back sounds like there was some traffic involved and not just a long distance drive. Hopefully that 15 min of meditation helped to calm your nerves. Great job staying on track with calories and exercise despite the many hours in the vehicle.

@sandkp - just curious, do you plan your meals? I find that if I have my food choices planned - even if it’s different options to choose from then I am less tempted to make poor choices. Just wondering if that’s an option for you.

I believe I have steps and water updated at this point! Here is the link to the spreadsheet

Please let me know if I have made any errors! On the far right of the steps sheet shows the percentage towards their individual goal!

Current Leaders:
51.01% complete : @mirendybryant

Keep up the awesome work and have an awesome Wednesday!

Could I be added to the water challenge. I have had 14 cups both days so far

I based my goal on my previous week’s total, but I’m thinking it was too low. Either that or this challenge is really getting my butt in gear to be more active. Either way I’ll take it.

I think a lot of us underestimated our goals this week, there are a lot of us in the 40-50%range after only two days!

Tuesday, September 17th

logged food: yes

under: yes. I used practically all of my exercise calories, according to Fitbit, and I slept through the night. I ate a bigger dinner, that put me over, so I just walked some more to get enough calories for a sugar free Jello pudding, because I was wanting something sweet, and chocolate!! I ate 1592 calories worth, and I just have to accept that that number is not too high, because taken out of context, it does seem high to me. Before, when I was successful on MFP, I didn't have my Fitbit linked to my account, so exercise calories were based on purposeful exercise that I entered myself from the data base. I definitely stayed closer to the 1200 mark and I lost probably two pounds a week, but for some reason, the waking up hungry didn't affect me then. I guess now that I am older....sigh. And like Erik suggested with intermittent fasting, the body will eventually get used to it in time. Maybe I just need to be patient and accept a slower rate of loss at the beginning.

erercise: yes, walking
steps: 10,740
water: 11 cups

(Already entered on the form, Christine.)

Mini challenge 9/17/19
yes/yes/yes

only got that exercise in because I dilly-dallied around then decided to go to the gym and do my run on the treadmill (it was 92 degrees outside by that time) I HATE treadmills, but I got it done.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK - What do you eat right before bed that keep you from waking up hungry in the middle of the night?

I don't really do bedtime snacking, because I tend to eat a pretty good sized dinner compared to my other meals. However, between 3-5pm most days I get the 'snackies', and lately I've been enjoying Trader Joe's airpopped pocorn - low cal and the texture is nice, plus it fills me up. I'm a salty-crunchy girl, could leave ice cream and cake alone for weeks, but chips/crisps had better run and hide!

Hello all,
Looking at the posts it looks like most people are doing awesome!

For Tuesday the 17th
Steps 13,821
Water 95 oz

I’m on my phone and tried to update the sheet directly but I am ‘view only’. I went to the form but could not type anything in. (I will try to enter from my computer next time)

Weigh in day : Wednesday
Starting: 185.6
Week 1: 183.9
Week 2: 183.6
Week 3: 183.2

Its coming off painfully slow, but at least in the right direction. I know this would have been better if I had made better choices over the weekend. So I'm going to try harder this weekend to make those better choices.

@brandi_84, your assessment of this week's loss seems spot on. Can't wait to see what you do next week with a more controlled weekend!!

Weigh in Wednesday
Last week- 231.8
This week- 226.4
⬇5.4lbs this week
⬇33.6lbs total

Only 11.4lbs away from my first big goal I gave myself in the beginning to lose by Christmas. I guess painting a shed gave me more exercise than I realized lol. So glad to finally be out of 230's 🖤

@mirendybryant, you are so far from the 30's that they are but a distant memory!! What a week you had!! Well done!! And 11.4 pounds between now and Christmas....no problem!!

5.4lbs is amazing! Go you and definitely in sight of that Christmas goal!

Missing a couple of weigh-ins:

@Audgiebug and @eatingfoodles

So very sorry @HASWLRS I swore I posted, must have forgotten to push submit on Monday. I weighted in at 294.4, I believe previous week was 297.8. I finally climbed over my plateau and it feels so good!
