    Had a fail but also a success. I ate junk food, Hawkins Cheezzies and a few mini halloween chocolate bars 😡 that’s the fail but, in the past I would then stop counting the calories and just forget about the day. This time I counted all the calories, accepted it, thought about why and how I could change it for next time. Progress!!

    I am changing my weigh day to Monday.

    I would like to join the step challenge too if possible.

    I find my fitness pal and my Apple Watch/health app don’t always sync properly, anyone else??

    Mine seems to be syncing better but not always. That’s a great NSV. Insight is a good tool. What did you figure out to do different next time? I am always looking at new ways to prevent unplanned snacks. Your steps are amazing.

    Thank you! Work always has snacks and I just try to walk away and avoid where they are. For home, I can’t keep junk food in the house. If it’s not here I can’t eat it. Kitchens cleaned out now 😉 My steps are high because I’m always moving at work.

    My work has rows of cubicles on either side of the aisles. Literally walking between two walls of desserts, chips, anything you can imagine. Lol I hate in office days.

    Sorry for the delay in posting.

    It's been a crazy week with long hours at work, ToM and not quite eating right (probably because of ToM).

    I did manage to reach my step goal every day, so at least that's good.

    Hopefully this coming week goes better.

    I'm down in the 270's and am less than 50 pounds away from my goal. I can't believe it. Running is causing my weight to just fall off me, and I've started eating 400 more calories a day to slow it down.

    This is a very smart thing to do. Rapid weight loss can cause health issues.

    Change in meds is hell.

    Hang in there. Hopefully, your body will adjust and you will start losing again.

    I suppose it would help if I clicked on "Post Reply", to send the post, lol.

    [bNice loss! We certainly don’t see bears in the yard in Newfoundland. Probably in remote parts of Labrador. [/b]

    That is a lot of temptation.

    I miss Octoberfest celebrations from my military days. A town about an hour away has the biggest celebration in Canada. Greg, @JaysFan82 have you ever gone to the Kitchener Octoberfest?

    I love that you found a positive. Not all our wins are found on the scale. Keep up the great stepping.

    A little bummed. I really want to get in the 140s! But I guess stability is better than going up in weight.

    I LOVE October but we are headed into hard times for weightloss for me! My 15 year wedding anniversary is coming up, my birthday, Halloween, Thanksgiving, hubby's birthday, Christmas!

    Anyway it's a beautiful Saturday. Headed to the gym soon. Then work in the garden, maybe make a batch of pesto before the chill kills my basil.

    @lindamtuck2018 I took your advice and did some lunchtime walks this week. I didn't get to the gym as often as I wanted so I tried to get my steps in at least--

    Hi Linda. At the gym I’ve gone back to my old routine as I wasn’t really feeling my trainers program. I wasn’t happy leaving the Gym so I went back to what I was enjoying. Mostly for my own morale. I felt like I was getting down again. I’m also still doing Karate 3 times a week. The scale seems to not be moving much but I guess that will come with time.

    I have seen some of the new changes this site have just made. I can't scan a baroda unless I am a prime member. My water containers are different sizes than what they give. It is more of a pain now.
