I had my grandsons over today who are in my covid bubble. Apart from the teletubbies, they had fun with my two big calculators.
Seven year old has autism and is dyslexic. He was putting in random numbers, memorising them and adding them again. He got some big numbers and was asking me to say the numbers. He was loving the numbers in millions.
He said 'I have lexia and I am writing them down in a red pen as then the numbers don't leap about'.
Steps 3428, oops, not so good. But a fabulous day.

It sounds like a very beautiful day with your grandsons. What a great attitude your grandson seems to have. An excellent way to get in exercise!0 -

Thank you all for your support and encouragement. TBBT - You are awesome!
Also thank you to everyone who provided some insight on the breakfast question. I am always trying to decide whether breakfast helps me with my weight loss or hinders it. There have been times where it has helped and times where it takes a way calories from the the part of the day that I really struggle with hunger.
I believe this is the last week of the October.
Do you have any goals to reach by Saturday?
Have you learned anything about yourself, food, exercise, anything weight loss related that you plan to carry into next month to help you succeed?0 -

@brandi_84 My goal for this week is to finish the C25K app and run a full 30 min without stopping on Friday, and to lose 3lbs this week (stretch, I know) but that will round my month out at a 10lb loss. I have learned a lot about myself this month, this body as out of shape as it may be can do wonders. I will be restating the C25K app the next week to work on my pace. My goal for the month is to continue be accountable and to weigh less at the end then I did at the beginning.
I hope everyone has a fantastic week!4 -

@brandi_84 Ok my pushing it to limit goal would be to reach 186 by Friday’s weigh-in (3 pounds) and fit comfortably into my size 8 jeans. What has really turned things around for me is no eating after 6:30pm (my husband is on board for this too) and drinking 16oz of water for every meal. Adding 10 minutes to my exercise has made a huge difference in my energy level. Good luck everyone!!!

Did you post for the MUAC for Friday, the 23rd?
It is ok if you didn't. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking it. I went through the posts several times to try make sure I was caught up for the week.0 -

3 yes's and 8643 steps. I know that sometimes I hit the Done button at top of page instead of save post.
Thanks for checking with me0 -
@brandi_84 ideally my goal would have been to reach my goal weight this week but I knew going in to October that it would be a tough month. We had 3 weekend trips planned this month so I knew sticking to my eating and exercise plan would be difficult. One thing that I have learned is to not freak out when stepping on the scale. I am up 3 lbs since Friday and once upon a time that would have sent me into a tailspin. Now I know that it is just sodium/water weight and not a permanent part of my body. If I return to my regular routine it should be gone by Friday weigh in. 🤞 Hoping to reach my goal in November. If not, there's always December. 😊1

My goal to reach by Saturday is to continue trying to get my weight back down to the months starting weight... I'm even farther away from my original goal for this month, which was to see the 150s.. I am still considering going back to low-carb, but my TOM is so messed up this month (over a week late, and no chances of having little ones right now), and I don't know if changing my diet caused some change there. I have been tracking all my food for the most part, and the scale is starting to cooperate for now... we'll see how things go.2 -

Congratulations to the Big Butt Theory team, and especially @cmhubbard92, @Knlizght, and @Prehistoricmoongoddess for their terrific finishes!!
MUAC for Sunday, 10/25:
Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercised: no
29% protein
My goal is to lose some weight this week and to be successful staying under calories every day. The one thing that I've learned is that when I increase my protein take, I tend to stay under my calorie count. Also, I've enjoyed starting running again. We are getting a border collie puppy next Sunday (so excited!!), and I want to be able to run with her when she gets older.3 -

Good morning, TBBT. Not a good week last week, to say the least. I get completely overwhelmed with some things that I have to do, that I feel like I am in a maze and can't get out. So I sit back down at my computer and do nothing. Then I start eating and self sabotaging, with choices that I know will make me feel awful (like cereal with milk) but I do it anyway. Then there is no way to start feeling better, so I keep eating bad stuff because I already feel bad. And the eating is also to "do something" because I was currently "doing nothing". Absolutely no logic in any of this, but I decided to share anyways. Sometimes bringing behaviour like this into the light takes away its power.
Now onto the good stuff. My husband was home on both Saturday and Sunday, so I used his presence to get myself back on track. (It's hard to sabotage oneself with witnesses around!) It was also a lovely fall weekend, even if it was a bit chilly, so we went for a walk each day.
Sunday, October 25th
logged: yes
under: yes
exercise: yes, a 48 minute walk according to Fitbit, but it was actually longer
water: yes, 8 cups
steps: 14,443
If I am eating at a deficit, I wake up hungry, so breakfast for me is a must. I do have my coffee first, and then my oatmeal or yogurt with fruit.
My goal for this week is to (try) to get back down to my weight from a week ago. (A lofty one for sure!!)3
