Looks like a gain in the week but reality is I've had a great week sticking to my calorie goal and training everyday. Checked my body composition and have lost 5ibs fat and put on in muscle. Interested to see the figures next week I've had this before when it holds and the next week shows a good drop.
Sometimes the scales does not reflect our hard work. You are also coming off a big loss last week so maybe your body is just evening things out. I know this happens to me. Did you go for a dexa scan to get your body composition checked?4 -
Good evening everyone
Check in for 3/13:
Steps - 2447
Calories - 1967
Exercise - none. Went to the gym but hurt my back and only did 4 machines. I have been snacking all night since. Damn.
Put the snacks down! Your calories aren’t too bad even with the snacking. Sorry that your back is giving you trouble again. Maybe take a few days to rest it up.3 -
@Jpedno
Your fireplace looks amazing. Great job on removing the temptation.
@red1185
Congrats on the loss! Maybe try repeating what you did last week to see if you can push past the cycle. Sounds like you have an unruly bunch of students.

I am making pepper steak this week. I might try it in the instant pot instead of the slow cooker. I am scared though.2 -

I have been sick for the past several days (and still am).
I did have a NSV this week though - I made it up 2 flights of stairs for a meeting at work.
Can you confirm your weight for the week? Great NSV! I hope you feel better soon.2 -

I have my granddaughter for the day so it means minimal laps again. I did 12 yesterday. She goes home this evening so I will have a normal routine tomorrow. My actual steps have been way too high the last couple of days. I was physically ill last night from the pain. Today I am taking it easy. Besides going to the pool and making meals I am doing absolutely nothing. Just call me lazy Linda. 😂

Check in for 3/13:
Steps In: 1,756
Calories: 1,322
Exercise: Basically none. Meal prepped all day (seems like).
Since consuming all proteins, veggies and complex carbs, I'm really REGULAR (wink wink *If you know what I mean). I used to take Miralax all the time. Even got my husband a little jealous because I'm "one upping" him in that department... lol
I was gifted a year of Get Healthy U TV so I'm starting that tonight when I get home. My routine will no longer be working out at the gym here at work. I'll get my sweat on in the morning, shower and start my day. (Meals already prepped so just grab and go)!

Weigh In Day: Monday
PW (Previous Weight): 235.8
CW (Current Weight): 234.6
Hi all, here for Monday weigh in. Was going to post earlier, but just getting round to it now.
Hoping to be more active this weekend whether that's via biking or walking. I need to stay focused within the next month to keep losing consistently, would be fab to lose a few more lb by end of April as I've also got birthdays and weekend away coming up next month and early May too so will be interesting.
I got thinking the other day about something I heard and I can't remember where from and it was like "you can't be on a diet 365 days of the year" Of course if you have particular food intolerances etc that's different, thought it was a interesting way of putting it in the context of when feel you've gone off the rails it's ok to get back on it.3 -
My little monster is gone home for the night. She will be back in a day or two. I will be glad to get a couple of “easy” pool workouts done. 😉3

I think meal prep should count as exercise. Working out first thing in the morning sounds like a great plan.3
