Friday weigh in:
PW 212
CW 210.1
Maybe next week I can break into that next decade.
Don’t know how you all do it with that crazy extreme cold. We are just at single digits and I’m freezing. My house is so cold. Heat pumps are not great with temps below 40°F
I’m not sure what my No Zero is today. I may have to go with checking in here.
@conleywoods Winnie’s adorable.

I'm going with Thursday's weight: 193.8 lbs
Slight gain but I figured that would happen. I'm going to keep up my good habits and work harder on my portion sizes.4 -
Good morning WaistAways!
PW: Feb 1st was 176.5, unless you need last Saturday, which was 176.8
CW: 175.6
I need to change my weigh in day to Saturdays, I think. Fridays are just always higher than Saturdays, because I can sleep in on Saturday mornings.
Hi, I'm Christina, 34, in VA, I love pole dance and chair acrobatics, and I'd love to get to 160 this year. It seems like such a small goal, but every weight "decade" accomplished for me is hard after 180, and I definitely don't want to deprive myself too much to get there by an arbitrary deadline.
So my loss is meant to be slow, or rather, I'll see a lot of up-and-down trending down.
The last two nights I went to the gym, and I'm feeling it this morning. Woke up with a headache, so probably didn't drink enough water last night, and it shows in my weigh in.
Have a great day, everyone!7 -

Fell short of my step goal by just over 5,000 for the week.
Hit the goal weight I wanted for the week.
@bobagurl2017, I have FitBit but no Garmin. I'm in for a step challenge though.5 -
Another week where I started off strong - logging, posting, water, etc and then everything went to pot by Thursday.
Work stress is off the charts and I am finding I am mentally exhausted and emotionally drained these days. I am not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh-in.
We have a busy weekend ahead but it includes some fun - hosting 6 of my daughter's friends for a little party tonight and "decorating" a a co-worker's office as a prank. Plus errands and chores. I need to make a plan for next week in there for sure.
Hope those of you dealing with extreme cold fare OK. Sending warm thoughts!

Sigh. I’m not sure why I have gained weight. My steps don’t include my hiit or weight training. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong 5 -

Don't be discouraged! Some experimentation with food can often make the difference once you figure out what balance works best for you. And please include your minutes of weight training, hiit, and any other intentional exercise you do. @ashleycarole86 makes nifty translations into steps so that all your activity counts. It is fun for us to see what you're doing, too
Update! Your last week weigh-in was 161 as well - so you did not put on a pound this week!5 -
Sorry I have been AWOL! The extreme cold killed our internet but it is back up now. It has been quite some chilly weather out there. I managed some snowshoeing - ata a much faster pace than usual, but not for as long. My nose got kind of icy, but everything else was warm as long as I kept going. Especially up hill! Tomorrow should be a bit less extreme. I'm still doing a lot more sitting near the woodstove than normal, though. I'm getting through some stuff I have been procrastinating on the computer, but need to get up and move more! My no zero for today will be some Pilates and biking.
You are all doing brilliantly even without my nightly nagging
There is a serious swathe of green happening in the spreadsheet this week - well done!
Only one more weigh-in to make the week complete:
@MoStacy hope for news too!
Keep warm!5 -
Here's my Garmin info if anyone wants to add me. Hoping to start a friendly step competition for the new week.

I think my weigh in day is Saturday.. but I want to switch it to Friday. It's too easy to forget and then I miss my weekly weigh in.
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Ok, I have never used this app... but here's an invite for an upcoming step challenge on Stridekick:

That's a great idea! I had moved you to Sunday since that was generally when you were weighing in, but Friday works too.

Happy Week 2!2 -
Yesterday's no zero day was to participate in a hike to a waterfall that involved walking and swimming through rivers, climbing ladders, and so on, and having the athletic ability to do so.
A good reminder.5 -

This past week was not my best and the next week is crazy busy. I was so proud of myself at the beginning of the week because I went for a walk to the workroom when I wanted a snack, but Thurs and Fri I snacked a lot. Yesterday, I sat all day at a cheer competition and then ate chic filet.🤦♀️
My shoulder feels better so I am going to workout and go shopping to meal prep. My family is coming over today to celebrate my dad's birthday.5 -
