    Wow @conleywoods that's some talented decorating... what a lovely home for the guinea pigs. Your goals for the week sound great. Good to hear there is some positive change coming for your husband.

    Wow. Snowshoeing HEAVEN here today! It has been snowing all day, and I am one happy tramper. I'm feeling a lot better now than I was yesterday :smiley:

    Time to set up your March 2022 Habit Tracker!
    Now is the time to think ahead about the next month. What habits do you need to put into place to take you one step at a time, one day at a time, towards your goals? The Fat2Fit habit tracker is simple to use - just enter up to 5 habits, and check them off every day you do them. The green check marks are mighty nice! It helps to have a graphic reminder of how you are doing, and how you will get to your goals if you keep it up.

    Go to https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10857488/fat2fit-habit-tracker-march-2022#latest

    Follow the simple instructions and set it up! Be ready to start earning green check marks on Sunday :smiley:

    I just wanted to pop in to say that the stomach flu and all its side effects, including a pulled muscle in my low back (!), is finally moving out. I am hoping to be able to exercise tomorrow and rejoin my life again. Looking forward to catching up on everyone's news!

    All kinds of news in the past day or so - WTG!

    @PlaneMonkey I'm glad you were out there playing hockey again even if you didn't have the biggest burn, you probably had a lot of fun anyhow. Skate on!

    @Steph1498 I can feel the :heart: in your description of swimming - isn't it great to discover a form of exercise you love to do? I hope you can keep it up! You sound like me and snowshoeing :lol: I can't stand getting wet in a pool and swimming, so let's not trade, ok?

    @conleywoods I like your plan for March. I have made a similar plan to "curb the carbs" or at least the refined ones. I have gone back to my old habit of brushing my teeth as soon as the meal is over. The end of the meal is planned too - pre-logged or at least with no extra helpings or anything on the table, and nothing eaten that isn't on the table when I sit down. I can't stand to eat right after brushing my teeth, so that helps pass the 20 minutes it takes to feel full and move on. In March, I AM going to get back towards the lower end of my maintenance range.

    @micki48 2 pounds down in February! I know it has been super stressful, but you are helping your body cope by lightening things up. Good luck with your ultrasound - I hope it is just stressed-out muscles crying out for some TLC.

    Out I go shortly - gotta get the trails tramped down a bit so my good friend with 2 pugs can come over to snowshoe tomorrow. Don't want the doggies to disappear under the snow!

    I'm not surprised. It's been a sedentary week. Working from home leads to me stealing my husband's snacks (delicious, delicious Oreos). And we've both been too tired to do healthy cooking. Hopefully next week, once my quarantine is up, I can get back into the swing of things. But I'm still not feeling completely recovered 😫.

    It's just one of those days where I woke up in a bad mood and my brain is spiralling down.

    Oreos are SO evil! They are impossible to stop. I am so glad my children are grown up and gone, my husband cannot have gluten, and there is absolutely no reason for any oreo to ever enter my house again. May the strength be with you, Kellie! Keep resting, and feel all the hugs flying to you from us.

I am kind of embarrassed and don't want to gain anymore weight. We want to have children in a few years so I am doing this for my health, and my future.

    Welcome Jen! You have come to the right place, and no embarrassment is needed here. We have all been there, felt terrible about it, and have found this place to help get things moving in the right direction. Health and future - great motivations right there!

    But for the next week, think of a couple of things to track and what numbers you want to hit. 25 grams of fibre. 1400 calories. less than X amount of carbs. 64 oz of water. Whatever you want to track. We're going to have a team challenge to hit our own goals for the first week. I'll post it on the March chat thread.

    If you have any questions, wish something would change, have an idea that would help you - anything at all, post it! We are a practical bunch, and at all different kinds of life stages. Drop in every day if you can. It will help with sticking to it when the newness wears off. Thanks for joining!

    Saturday check in. I am on target with calories today and did a 20 minute workout. I also got some sun today since it warmed up today a bit. I tried on some new spring clothes today and definitely found a few keepers. I have a few more orders coming and then I will get to work on returning the stuff that didn't make the cut. I always find clothing to be a big motivator. Definitely feel inspired to workout and look good in my spring clothes. I love unpacking the box of spring stuff and that "oh yeah! I forgot about this" feeling.
