Not too bad for being away from home for 10 days. I upped my calories when I was away for a maintenance range. That seemed to work pretty well. Now to set it back to the weight-loss range... We have a much, much longer trip planned starting next month. More on that later.4 -
@lindamtuck2018 I have arrived in Washington. I will be walking around the central mall waiting for you.1

Good evening everyone. Have a wonderful weekend.
Check in for 3/11:
Steps - 18891
Calories - 1730 or close
Exercise - 9.58 mile walk in 2 hr 51 min. I think it is my longest yet.
@peng123 @Megan_smartiepants1970 thank you for the info. I don't eat my exercise calories.3 -
Hello everyone,
Sorry that I have been MIA for several days. Unfortunately, the docs decided to hospitalize me due to the out of control blood pressure. They were afraid of a stroke I guess. Anyway, spending most of a week in bed, with little control over my intake made things a bit interesting. So I did not get much exercise in, and was right at it slightly over calorie wise most days. Still I am down a pound this week.
But hopefully with the new cocktail of meds, the blood pressure will not sky rocket again. So I can get back in the swing of things next week.

Happy Saturday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:
3/11:
Calories: 1,095
Exercise: 70 minutes elliptical
Steps: 15,110
I ran out of fruit so I didn't get as many calories as I should have - but today is my shopping day and I will make sure I purchase extra for this week. I have been sweet-free for almost two weeks and it hasn't been a problem at all - which is a surprise to me! I have a busy day planned with the Humane Society today - so I should get lots of steps.
@tuxado I'm so sorry that you have been in the hospital - I hope you feel better soon!
Have a great day, everyone!

New Challenge!
Hi Everyone! Great job with this week's challenge - traveling around the word was very fun! Beginning tomorrow, we will have a new challenge: it's "armed and dangerous" week! We are going to ask everyone to do some sort of arm exercise each day and report back to let us know which ones you are doing. I definitely need to start doing more arm exercises - so I'm excited about this challenge - can't wait to see how we all do!3 -

I am thinking I am at the bottom. I am bouncing within 2 lbs. My skin consult was moved up to the 21st. I hope they accept me.
Remind me what your goal weight is again? Do you want to lose much more or do you think skin removal would put you pretty close? I don’t know much about skin removal but any shows I have watched sometimes the excess skimpy can weigh 10 or 15 pounds.1 -
Good Morning Dazzling Downsizers ... We are off to go on our lonnnnnng walk ...I will catch up with everyone later today ... my plan is 8 miles but I would love to see 10 miles today 2

Thanks @aactuallyaash and @Megan_smartiepants1970 for your recipes.Question time...I am walking at a 3.35 mph pace but mfp only has 3.0 and 3.5mph. Which one would you use?
I am going to say 3.5 mph. If using averaging 3.5 would be the correct number to use. I also used a calorie burn calculator and 3.5 gives a slightly higher burn than 3.35 but is much closer to the actual burn than if you used 3.
Also, that’s an amazing walk! What you have accomplished since you started on your journey must make you so proud.Beautyofdreams wrote: »Maybe this needs to be said, so here goes. No one will criticize you if you overeat, eat processed food or gain weight! We have all been there. People in this group will offer support and suggest strategies that worked for them.
Please come here each day and post what feels comfortable or ask a question. Think of being part of this group as being a fire. When an ember. leaves. the fire, often times, it quickly burns out. When it stays in the fire, the ember will continue to burn. Often times, my motivation is nonexistent. After a quick read of posts here I feel recharged. Admit that haven’t been the greatest poster but will work on it.
Thanks for this post.@lindamtuck2018:

I got there yesterday. I would love to visit Washington. We somehow got off the beltway (think that’s what it’s called) when driving to Virginia so i don’t think that counts.Hello everyone,

In a rush because we are off to motor vehicles to renew our driver’s license and heath cards. Then it’s grocery shopping. Not a fun morning. My granddaughters are coming later and we are decorating for my husband’s 60th birthday celebration tomorrow. I am going to the pool with my youngest granddaughter this afternoon. That should be fun!3 -

@lindamtuck2018 I think I am at goal weight, but nobody has told me anything. That is what I am hoping for with seeing plastic surgery. On my own I will probably try for 225 but won't push it. I am thinking between my legs and belly I can lose 25 lbs easy.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 grats on the huge walk.
@tuxado glad you are home safe. I had an incident with my b/p 10 years ago. It plummeted one night and I almost died. 3 days in hospital cardiac.0 -

This is amazing! You should be proud. Do you walk at a fast place? Do you take a rest while walking?2 -
I am concerned about reaching my lap goal. I didn’t think about babysitting during March break when setting the goal. I will be in the pool when I am babysitting my granddaughter but she will be with me so I can’t do laps.1

Doing this tonight because I won’t have time in the morning. It was a crazy busy day and my back is not very happy. In the morning I have to get some cleaning done and go pick my husband’s cake up from the bakery. The family is meeting at a restaurant for brunch at 11am and then back to my place for cake. The kids decorated the apartment. I hope my husband will enjoy his 60th birthday celebration. I will squeeze some pool time later in the day with my granddaughter. I did arms today so I will do legs tomorrow.2 -
