Good evening everybody. I missed last week, but I’m here now. Though, I will say these past few weeks have not been good for me weight-wise.
My numbers:
PW: 161.4
CW: 165.4
Steps:
4/10: 2,112
4/11: 9,184
4/12: 10,393
4/13: 6,534
4/14: 5,695
4/15: 4,750
4/16: 7,362
4/17: 3,763
I really need to get back in the habit of checking in here several times a week. I do think that will help.
I’m frustrated, but I’ll figure it out. Summer and my beach vacations are just around the corner, too. I have a lot of work to do!4 -

Mari, Can you confirm your weight? I have entered it as 211.8 but just want to make sure.
sorry Linda I have been having so much trouble getting into MFP since Friday. I had to go on a computer for my weigh in. Yes it’s 211.8. Sorry for the typo.

If my weigh-in would have been yesterday I'd have been down about half a pound but instead, I'm up nearly 3 and a half pounds! Did I eat some chocolate … yes (but not that much). I'm sure the culprit is all the salt. Between going to my brothers house for Easter Brunch and then hosting Easter dinner for my wife's side of the family - I'm guilty of over-portioning. Oh well, at least the food was delicious. I'll be drinking a lot of water today to start flushing the sodium from my system and I'm looking forward to much better results next Monday!1 -

I understand your frustration. Finding the balance between vacations, holidays, etc. and weight loss can be hard. Set some goals. Checking in x number of times would be a great one. You can do this!mari_moulin wrote: »lindamtuck2018 wrote: »mari_moulin wrote: »Happy Easter 🐣 Sunday team. ♥️ Sorry for my late post and also for my gain this week. It’s been one of those weeks.

There will be a few of us with a gain this week. You know it’s not a true weight gain so next week you will see good results.Morethanjustanumber wrote: »

Happy Monday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:
4/17:
Calories: 1,158
Exercise: 6-mile jog
Steps: 18,164
My goal is to try to close all the rings on my apple watch this month - so far, so good! I was able to stick with my plan through Easter - very happy about that. Holidays are always challenging.
@rwood566 Easter is always difficult - so many tasty treats - but I know you will get right back on your program today - your persistence is so amazing.
@jimboden3 Salt is diabolical - LOL! I'm sure the weight is from water and you will be able to flush it out of your system in no time!
@28Haveitall2020 Congratulations on your loss! Great week!
@red1185 We are always here for you - I definitely find that checking in is helpful.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!2 -
Steps 4,075
As you can see by my steps, yesterday I took a rest day. I am going to the pool soon and I need to do a good workout. I don’t think I will get my badge this month with my Apple Watch. I need to burn 1,182 calories each day for the rest of the month. 😮2 -

We posted at the same time. I keep meaning to ask how you are doing on the April challenge for the Apple Watch. It’s an insane challenge! I have no doubt that you will achieve your goal of closing the rings each day.1 -
Be back soon ...we are off for a longer walk this morning since this is my daughter's last day of no school 2
-
No pool today! 😢 Elevator is not working and I can’t walk down 11 floors with my back. I have an appointment this afternoon so I will do mini walks today.1
-
@lindamtuck2018 I'm so sorry that the elevator isn't working - mini walks sound like a great alternative - good for you for coming up with an alternative! Your apple watch challenge is so much harder than mine - I just have to burn 586 calories per day - I don't think I could do 1,182 each day!1

We walked 165 minutes and walked 6.15 miles with a burn of 928 calories 2

Hi all, here for Monday weigh in.
Was debating whether to weigh in for the next few weeks, but here I am. I've actually managed to take dogs out for a walk 4 days in a row despite food not being so good, any movement is better than none. Aiming to go to a local park in next few days. The weather has been lovely last few days, managed to get some gardening done too. Next week will be starting prep on own and I'm looking forward to making veggie recipes.
I will get back on track, just may take some time to adjust between upcoming social events and not being on prep service.. the fire hasn't been put out however! 2 -

I took more rest days than usual so that has bumped up the amount I need to get daily to reach the 31,500. Thanks, I was my own worst enemy and did too much. 🤷♀️1 -
Good evening. My lunch today had a pretty hefty caloric price tag, but fortunately I’m still not hungry. It was a giant burger. Since I’m still full, no need to eat dinner! I also have a headache, so no wine for me tonight either. Maybe my body is just telling me to take a break.
As far as exercise is concerned: I beat my goal of 7k by more than 2k steps!
I have also had a lot of water!
Today was super busy, but I made sure to get my exercise and water in. I need to keep it up. I can’t regain this weight. I worked hard to get it off. I can’t go backwards!
I’m also hoping that some of this weight is TOM, and a very calorically heavy holiday weekend. We did both Passover and Easter! Passover for my Dad’s side and Easter for my mom’s side. Tons of food at each. Hopefully at least some of the weight is because of that.
Enjoy your evening!2 -

Firstly, I am deeply apologetic for the late post. I did weigh-in on Saturday but did not log it. Please accept my apology.
Secondly, yes, I am thrilled for my 1-week loss, however it is not a true representation as I did a 2-day cleanse Thursday & Friday, so a more accurate weight would have been 2 days later.
Needless to say, I had a strong week!
until ... :-( ... I didn't. :-(
I need to reel it again.

Happy Tuesday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:
4/18:
Calories: 1,160
Exercise: 70 minutes elliptical
Steps: 11,346
I woke up with a sore throat this morning - so I won't be hopping on the elliptical for now - a great friend of mine who lives in London sent me some medicine several months ago - it's what the queen uses when she gets a sore throat - I've never seen something like it in the US - it's like aspirin that you gargle with - it's supposed to work well - so I'm going to give that a try today.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 Amazing mileage! Go you!!
@mszoueb Your gain wasn't bad at all - and you're right, some movement is better than none at all - keep checking in here and we will cheer you on to help you get back on track!
@lindamtuck2018 That is still over 1,000 calories to burn per day - to me, that's a huge amount!
@red1185 Congrats on the steps - great job! You will not regain the weight - try to get right back on plan when you have higher calorie days.
@Gwiz401 No need to apologize at all - and - what a great loss - congrats!!
I hope you are all having a great day!
