@kerdil08 still a loss even if tiny & you've achieved with running. Sounds like a lot on the go at the moment- just keep with it.
@CharmingPassion still a tiny loss not gain. A lot going on for you this week- I'm sure you'll get your mojo back but take some time for you.3 -

I can not wait for everything to slow down. Im so tired that I havent been working out, I just can not roll out of bed. I have been stress eating, ugh. trying hard to at least quit eating all the time. Some family that lives 16 hours away is in town (well an hour away) so I am taking tomorrow off and we are headed there tonight to see them. It will be a much needed day off, my first day off in a month.6 -

I have noticed that my water intake has gone down drastically and I have been not caring as much. As of today, the water intake goes back up and I care! I have 10 more pounds to lose before reaching my first big goal.4 -

After my maintenance break, I actually feel pretty good. I know I can stay within an approx. 4lb range for two weeks, and have a better idea of how to eat for maintenance once I get there. I also weighed in at 158.6 on Friday, so I know today’s is just fluctuations, not an actual gain. All in all, a good experiment!
Just gotta stick to my deficit now.
WELCOME BACK @gillexplores !! Good luck as we all wrap up April!

Enjoy your day off with family @angmarie28.
@klassie12 I need to make the same commitment as you. My water intake has been very low lately and I have just been slacking in general with my diet and exercise, it's time to get back on my plan.2 -

You are having a time of it! Sending BIG HUG & lots of admiration for you sticking it out on here. Been there & done that with stressful job where I was working ave 80 hours a week when kids younger. I know sometimes it's hard/impossible to get out of a situation due to the circumstances at the time. So just wanted to let you know I think you're amazing for still trying. Totally relate to stres eating, my comfort food, most of my life, has been chocolate flavour! Enjoy your time off with family.1 -

That's really interesting. I was very focussed on my water intake during last UK lockdown and was aiming for 3l/day. Back at work it is much harder to keep up that intake but I hear what you're saying and interestingly I think it's similar for me!
PT at gym always said- the first step in any training programme whether muscle gain or weight loss - is to get your water right & ensure adequate hydration.1 -

Hello & Welcome @goonies733
-
My PTposted a clip of me doing backward lunges from yesterday - I couldn't bend down properly when I started training with him so we've done a lot of strength work to get my mobility improved so it was an achievement. However I've about 4stone over my goal weight so it wasn't very flaterring. Training today I was thinking about the 'goal' selfie! I can't wait to see the imporvement in a few more months. 1 -
Just a question as me not motivator:
Do you log your exercise calories on MFP?
I used to but my PT recommended a colleague who was doing on-line training over the lockdown months & she didn't recommend it.
What's your throughts? I don't want to eat my extra, especially id I have really good burn of 400+0 -
@JoDavo66 I log all my exercise & occasionally I do go over my daily calorie allowance so may use some of my exercise calories.However I don't like doing it as I think I am doing this to be healthier & lose weight.So what's the point of exercising if you just going to eat more than you probably need.They say you need to have a calorie deficit & use more calories than you eat to lose weight.I am no expert just my personal opinion.I would be interested in what other team members do.2

I was told a daily deficit of 500, for 1lb a week. I'm sure I gain on that! 🤣🤣🤣.
I've set my daily intake low but often am a few over & it looks bad to me when I've also earned a lot.
Tonight gone way over, but still within my 500 deficit.0 -
END OF THE MONTH PREP
Those of you who haven't yet posted your weigh in for this week but are past your weigh day, it would REALLY help your Captains and Motivators out if you could get that info reported before Sunday, so that we can get all important information recorded and reported to the MODS.
Steppers, I'm seeing lots of empty spaces on our spreadsheet...please report in your steps ASAP.
Extra thanks to our newest motivator @JoDavo66 for her extra efforts this week...to @mulecanter for his upcoming graphic treasures and for helping to fill in the spreadsheets and to everyone who posted and got conversation flowing again during the month of April...it's so nice when everyone shares...even if it's just a thought or two. Enjoy the rest of your week!
Thanks guys!!! Here comes May!

@JoDavo66 I don't count exercise calories in MFP. Mostly because almost all burn estimates are grossly exaggerated. That said, if I've been doing something strenuous and I'm hungry, I eat a bit more and don't worry about it.2
-
MVP is synced with my activity tracker so it tracks exercise but I don’t pay any attention to it. I exercise for my mental and physical Heath and well being but I do not include burned exercise calories in my weight loss goals for many of the same reasons already mentioned. I figure there are many times that I underestimate or forget to log and the exercise probably balances that off.2

Hi All! So glad to have found this group and I hope that it can keep me motivated through May! I am a 48 year old Mom of 2 who has been taking care of others for the past few years, but have neglected myself. Then came the past year, which threw us all for a loop. My daughter loves to bake and has been doing that to combat anxiety during COVID...which has not been so good for my waistline. Recently, my blood pressure and weight have begun to creep up and I was just put on medication but I do not want to stay on it long term!
