    Today I will close my exercise ring (Apple Watch) and drink 80oz of water. Now that I said it, I must do it!

    I just got an Apple Watch and I am doing this, too! I am finding it really helpful to get and keep me moving!!!

    Count me in. I’ve gained back significant weight that I lost over the last year. I’ve got to reclaim my disciplined dietary and exercise regimens. Add me as a friend.

    Welcome @titabert!

    Tomorrow, I actually have to go into the office tomorrow so I am not going to be able to get in my am walk. But I get so many more steps when I go into the office and I will make sure that I take my little walk breaks. Plan on bringing breakfast and lunch so that I am not tempted to make bad choices.

    SW 199lb 🙁
    CW 199lb
    GW 147lb

    So I’ve got 42lb to lose.

    Hey folks I’m new to MFP - well using it this much anyway.
    I’m a bit worried, is this like only friends can see what you post, or if I post in the group only people in the group can see?

    I think I like the anonymous thing! 😊

    Anyway feel free to add me if that’s what you do here.

    xx

    It’s quiet here today. I got my butt up early and got my walk in this morning before it got hot. Stayed in budget and hit my goal for water. Dinner was a little pasta with meat sauce. I used a jarred sauce and now I feel like I consumed an entire shaker of salt. I think I’m becoming sensitive to to much which will hopefully steer me to more whole food choices.

    Hope everyone is having a great day.

    Hello! I would love to join this if it’s ok- I have had an account for awhile but never looked for anyone else on here and realized how much I need support. Starting weight is 145 and goal weight around 130. Thanks!

    Weekly check in a few days late.

    Weight this week 203
    Down -1.4
    Mini goal weight 185 by the end of the summer
    Ultimate goal weight 150

    I went on a 45 minute bike ride last weekend, and am hoping to keep that trend up at least once a week with my Barre classes! Planning on bike riding with a friend Saturday.

    @carbonmade0428 , @kathsk53 and @runa192009 - Welcome! This group is definitely helping me stay accountable

    @signing_megs - Nice loss this week. Great plan to keep the momentum going.

    Day 4 of 5 for me getting up early to walk and closing my exercise ring. I’m really hoping for a solid loss on Friday. I’m starting to feel less sluggish and good about the exercise. But every day closer to summer is getting hotter and I’m not sure what I am going to do when it’s over 100* at 6am. Need to make a plan. Maybe I’ll be ready to do some exercise videos by then.

    Good morning, day 4 still on plan 😃
    Looks like another lovely day in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 so I’m away out with the dog before it gets too hot for her. Weigh day for me tomorrow I’m a bit excited and nervous, I’ve never been this focused for a long time but the weekend was really bad I’m just hoping that I’ve managed to undo some of the bad weekend, so I at least get a loss to show for my efforts 🤞🏼

    A loss is a loss. Some weeks are bigger than others and some we gain. I saw the below graphic on another post the other day an it really resonated with me.

    SW:207 (5/1/20)
    CW: 203
    GW: 157

    Total weight lost: 4

    2.2 lbs down this week. Guess those early morning walks and increased water goal is paying off.
