Sunday Check In
Calories: under but barely
Exercise: got outside today for a good walk with pup and it felt great!
Water: did not track but not enough
Hey, anyone want to join me in this plank challenge for beginners? Or a more difficult version of you aren’t a beginner?

Hey team. I’m new to the group. I’ve been on MFP since 2011 and have lost 30lbs, but, I took a 2-year hiatus because I had a lot going on at the time. I’m back to refocus on getting healthier. I was really looking for a group that could help hold me accountable, and I found you! This community seems great, and I look forward to loosing with you.
A little about me: I’m a mom of 2 girls (ages 11 and 8.) I work from home so I don’t move as much these days but have a treadmill in my office, so trying to stay motivated to at least walk more throughout the day. I live in Phoenix, AZ, USA.3 -
I goofed! So sorry --
for Third Place February Pounds Lost - it should have been @Emmajhare with 9.5 pounds tossed to the curb. @timibotkin was also amazing, but I somehow overlooked the quiet little 9.5 sitting there on the spreadsheet. Sorry!2 -

Didn’t get as long walk as I planned but the pool exercises where a bonus. My granddaughter made a friend at the pool, so I took advantage for some extra exercise time.

First week loss 6.5 lbs. I know lbs lost each week will be lower because I won't have the big week 1 loss again. I have a long way to go to get to a "normal" weight, but according to my doctor, I don't have a choice. Diagnosed a bit over a week ago with gastritis and non alcoholic fatty liver disease. On meds and special diet for the gastritis for three months or so until it clears up and then just need to lose weight to hopefully turn around the fatty liver. No cure other than lose weight and time. Fairly easy to stay away from rich food right now because it causes pain but I am not sure once the pain is gone if I can continue to watch what I eat as carefully.

Hey everyone! My name is Jen and I’m one of the motivators. I’ve been with this challenge group for a few years now. I struggle with consistency and stickigg big to good habits I’ve been trying to establish.
I am almost 45, married and have two kids - 13 and 7. It’s tough most days to focus on myself but I know if I gave up on this I would be so much worse off.
My goal for March is to lose what I gained in February (2lbs) plus more.
Good luck everyone!5 -

Hi my name is Casey, I am a 6’ tall SAHM of three kiddos . I am pretty close to my goal weight, so I tend to go up and down about 2 lbs from my current weight. I run about 3 x a week, I have a half marathon in 20 days and am hoping to start indoor rock climbing tomorrow. It’s hard to carve out time for yourself. There’s so much guilt, and late and early workouts. But, the whole family is better when you are taking care of yourself. Good luck this month!3 -
I’ve had a fairly awful weekend and have done nothing towards weight loss😕 but tomorrow is a new day and I’m hopeful and motivated to get on track!2

Happy Monday team. I’m happy to say I had a successful weekend. Came out of it with a small loss so no damage control needed this week. I’m so happy we are in a new month. February was ok but it was a struggle at the end. I’ve made a lot of improvement in many areas but I’ve had to deal with a lot of emotions and stress with the start of therapy. I’m glad this is now something I will be working on with a professional. Last week I was very frustrated and ready to throw in the towel but thanks to my MFP family I’ve pushed through that hard week and am now coming out the other side. I’ve been doing my homework and looking at what’s happening with me when I go for snacks and honestly most of it is out of boredom. I do also go for snacks when I’m stressed or emotional but a good chunk of it happens when I’m just sitting watching TV.
Anyway. Wishing you all a great start to this new month and week ❤️

Hi I really struggle with my weight and have done for years. I hit so much then I seem to lose it and I dont know why. I wish I could get to the bottom of it all.
I hope to get on my treadmill, use my wii fit, log all food and hit 10000 steps daily. Drink lots of water too. Basically kick my own backside into doing stuff.
Hope to get lots of inspiration here aswell as support.
Good luck everyone xxx3 -

Congrats 🥳 on the loss! I see you mention a step goal, would you be interested in joining the step challenge. We are going to set a weekly step goal as a team and see if we can beat it. You just report your steps here starting with yesterday’s steps.1 -
