Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!1

It is so wonderful to have Megan as our new Moderator! And here I am, leaving her to make her own introductions to the teams... Some group owner I am But I have a good excuse. Tally day. End of month. Lots of new members - it's all good, and this is why we need Megan to join us! I'm thrilled.2 -

Here I am, nagging already so early in the week!
Don't forget to sign in and use the habit tracker! It is really helpful to keeping after those lovely daily things we promise we are going to do, and then they sometimes slip by... Go ahead - you know you need to nag yourself!

I know you just signed up, but with a Sunday weigh-in you're always the first in the week! Just let us know if you will stick with your starting weight or if there is an update. Thanks!1 -
@terytha How exciting that your friends are expecting! Pregnancy is different for everyone but usually in general it's exhausting. Gift cards to restaurants are always good. She may not feel like cooking or if she has morning sickness her other half will still be hungry. I also used an awesome sleep book and I know lots of others who use the same book with similar results. It's called Healthy Sleep Habits, Healthy Child. They would want to read it before baby arrives because you start from day one. All 3 of my kids slept through the night at 3 months. When I say sleep through the night, I mean 12 straight hours!!! YESSS! Most people have these results and I love sleep.3

I went on a nice 55 minute hike to a new place with my husband today. It was nice. Not strenuous or anything just nice inclines. I think I got 8 flights on my Fitbit. I also spent 30 minutes doing my pt exercises. I also logged all my food and I was under. So good first day.

Hi everyone
I am Masoumeh 33years old and living in Netherlands. This is the first time in my life that I join for a health/diet challenge and so excited about it
3.5 years ago I was 18kg lighter and used to bike and exercise (pilates, steps, xco) on daily basis. But then I started going back to the university for a master program and didn't have time to even leave the house for a walk and I had lots of stress eating and addicted to the added sugar.
From January 2020, after finishing Master program I started a new job as a machine learning researcher, and I was motivated to change my unhealthy habits. I first cut down added sugar and tried to stop stress eating and added fruits& veggies to my diet. But I didn't do calorie counting. So I lost just 3kg from January.
Last Sunday weight: 65.9kg (145.2lbs)
Sunday 4oct: 65.3kg (143.96lbs)
Goal weight in long term: 50kg
These are my goals for this month:
1 - walk/bike/pilates 1hr per day
2 - logging my foods every day - 1300 to 1400 kcal per day
3 - no added sugar6 -
Steps for
9/29 = 2786
9/30 = 6670
10/1 = 11839
10/2 = 10832
10/3 = 12159

Hello @mbakhtiaruz !
Your plan sounds excellent - make the changes small(ish) and easy to do every day, and you'll get there. Several of us do Pilates every day, and I'm sure you will have company on the logging and sugar challenges. It is not always easy, but it feels so good when you get it right. Not every day has to be perfect
I lived in the Netherlands for almost 2 years way back in 1978-79 before moving to Canada. It was a wonderful time. I was in Den Haag studying at the Koninklijk Conservatorium (music conservatory). Where do you live? I really need to go back and visit again when the pandemic calms down. I try to go every couple of years to see old friends.
Off to errands. Ugh. Have a great Monday!3 -
So I'm a bit pissed off, My husband is having disc replacement surgery tomorrow and the hospital will not let me be there, I am to drop him off at the curb, and come back to pick him up at the curb the next day... This Covid crap is annoying, I don't understand the whole "people are supposed to go have major surgery, but yet can have no type of support whatsoever !" It's BS, they have gone way too far with this, it's old, we know: wear masks, social distance, wash your hands... I am a grown damn woman, I can keep myself safe, thanks so much... Our government is really overstepping it's boundaries...
Okay Rant over.... The weekend was pretty good, got lots done, although no official exercise, I did jog with both dogs, but only about 10 min each time... I also got all my summer clothes put away and brought out the winter stuff... So it was a productive weekend...7 -
@Gidgitgoescrazy I know it's hard but the hospitals here relaxed a little bit and now there's a huge outbreak at the one my husband works at. And masks/soap/sanitizer aren't 100% effective. They only reduce risk they don't get rid of it.
Hospitals are very scary places to have disease outbreaks. I wish ours had stayed strict honestly.8 -
I am having a really hard time. My Thursday weigh in really took the wind out of my sails. I gained even more over the weekend. I logged and worked out this weekend but my motivation is not great. I'm definitely having some hormone stuff and then I stress out and it's worse. Trying to keep going through the motions but I can't get out of my funk.9
