I hve been stuck at 59.5 kgs for the last 2 months which has been frustrating. I weighed myself this morning and am now 58.8 kgs! Yay! This means im so close to my goal weight of 58 kgs. Very exciting for me! Looking forward to increasing my calories to maintainace cos im on 1200 calories atm which is def not easy! Ive lost 23.2 kgs since the birth of my buba 9months ago and tbh even prior to being pregnant i hve always been at least 7 to 10 kgs over weight! 0.8 kgs to go!! Xox10 -
@donna25trinity - congrats on your progress! How exciting to be so close to goal. I’m impressed how much you’ve lost in 9 months time.
@Chinkiri - sending you hugs and wishes for a good day.
I know I’m posting early so this isn’t a report on today, but it just seems to make sense to post here. Last night I had a NSV that I can hardly believe I managed to pull off. I took 4 grandkids ice skating and knew we would have to eat fast food when we were done. I had saved 1000 calories (no small feat right there) and told myself to order something within that range. But when I pulled up to the window, the lure of the fried crispy chicken sandwich and French fries was too much and I ordered it. Then as I was eating I thought, is this worth going over calories, decided it was not, and left several fries and about 1/4 of the sandwich uneaten. When I got home and logged it, I was under calories and was so pleased with myself. For me, a little success like that, gives me incentive today to be successful again. It’s the classic snowball effect. Which is pretty appropriate as I drink my coffee looking at a world covered in the white stuff. This challenge definitely had a huge part of that NSV for me. Thank you all !13 -
@biketheworld Congratulations! That's how you do it, and yes, success breeds success!
General comment, I am so far behind reading everyones posts and I need to apologize for not contributing as I would like. I thought getting to florida would open up my time. At the moment, it is way crazier. I am at least not giving up on my planning, tracking and exercising, which IMO is critical cause that is a different type of snowball I could create. The never-ending to-do list is getting shorter though and yesterday Hubby kindly drive 2 hours each way to buy me the one remaining IC4 spin bike within 100 miles. We also got a second TV and are setting this all up in the den so we will have indoor exercise options as well. So no excuses remain! Will try and find some time to start going through past posts.8 -

Yes, 1 h 1 min of walking, 16 min of stairs climbing up and down.

Yes, 1,206/1200, good enough for me.

Yes, 2,280 of fluid.
Pass Days: 2/3
I’m thinking about having my last pass day tomorrow, as an open day. Every previous pass day I have taken was because I felt hungry at night and ate one extra meal. Since I have done so well this month, I want to take a proper pass day, where I eat a nice breakfast without worrying about how much bread I have eaten. I decided to make it tomorrow so I would have enough time to burn it off and not take it with me to March. Sorry for the long post and good night
.
A question: I suppose I have to leave February group when we begin March challenge, right?

Today has been an emotional roller coaster kind of a day for me. I'm having some family issues with my grown son and my hubby (not my son's father) and it's taken a real toll on me today. I've done at least 20 mins of housecleaning today, so I'm going to call that my exercise, but mentally I just don't have it in me to go get on the treadmill or do rebounding or anything that might help me to get some exercise calories, so I'm just gonna call it what it is, and take another pass today. I'm hoping that I can reign this emotional mess in tomorrow and do better. Hope you all are having better weather wherever you are. 9 -
