Hello team! My name is Mandi and I'm a homeschooling mama to 4 kiddos. I've been trying to follow a certain eating plan since 2016 without much success. Last year I tried something else that worked in the beginning, but was difficult to maintain as a lifestyle. So, here I am! I really want to give MFP my all and reap the benefits of just counting the calories and moving more.
Weigh In Day:Sunday
PW (Previous Weight):149
CW (Current Weight):148.7
I would also like to commit to the step goal of 10,000 steps a day for march.3 -

Hello Mandi and welcome to our team! I have added you to the step challenge. We had your starting weight as 249, you listed 149 now. Could you please clear that up? Thank you and good luck on your journey.1 -
Daily check-in ~ February 26
Steps: 19.456
Good morning Shape Shifters. My day was alright. I wanted to try a burpeegirl workout in the evening, but the warm up was already killing me a little bit. I am not sure if her workouts are just more intense than I am used to, or if I need to blame it all on the ball of pizza that was rolling around my stomach. Either way, I switched to an improved health video after 8 minutes because there was no way I was able to do the workout. The IH one didn't go well either, so the pizza for sure caused some problems, but I did finish it and I got 34 minutes done.
I have no idea what the calories are when I order pizza, so I logged them as 1800 total. This may be a bit much, but I rather overestimate. I went over calories a little, but not too much thanks to the workout. I do really want to stop ordering food though, so I will make that a mini challenge for March. I put a note on my desk that I could also be enjoying 2 new books instead, or a new puzzle, or buy food for Tinus. Hopefully that will help change my mind. Going to be putting my phone away somewhere upstairs for a few hours during the end of the day as well, at least until I have had all my planned food. That should also help. Besides going over calories, the rest of my habit tracker was green. Happy Monday everyone
Tinus wanted to sit in the sun, but he couldn't because it wasn't hitting the floor yet, so I moved a stool so he could bask in the sunlight. I thought it was funny.

Card for today under the spoiler.

Hi everyone! @Pupowl - love the cards! Thanks for the motivation. I definitely needed it. Back today after vacation and I definitely blew it out. Up 1.5 lbs, but it was a great time and Iβm committed to getting back on track today. Trying to see these changes as a lifestyle and I know breaks/vacations have to be part of that for it to be sustainable. Itβs florida so itβs getting hot here (80s today). Going to exercise but not sure if Iβm up for a run or if lβll stick to something inside. Headed to work, but appreciate the daily dose of motivation to help me start the week. Happy Monday everyone!

@brttny7979
I am glad you like the cards and that they help you a bit with motivation. I highly doubt there are many people who manage to lose weight or maintain on vacation though! I would totally prioritise having fun as well and start refreshed again at home. You've got this!3 -

@pedal__power
Nice steps! Do you want to keep your goal at 14k?2 -
@brttny7979 not too bad for a vacation. @Pupowl is right, I have never lost or maintained on vacation, despite the best intentions, but we all need a vacation sometimes !I hope you enjoyed it!
@Pupowl love Tinus in the sun!
Step Update...
2/23 12,991
2/24 14,873
2/25 9,374 - went skiing, no running!
2/26 17,981
@jessicakrall8 Please let me know if I skipped any. On my treadmill runs, I occasionally wear my Garmin tracker so I have to add my AppleWatch and Garmin steps, so please also let me know if I've given you a different number for a given day and I'll double check.
I'd like to participate again next month- keeping it at 10,000 steps to motivate me for my non-running days.
I had a great weekend with my daughter, her friend and fiancee. The fashion show was fantastic and we had a nice time skiing. My weight bounced around a bit because of eating out, but I'm ready to have a good March!
Today is Buddy's 13th Birthday! Now that we know his cancer has spread to his lungs, I try to view each day as a gift... He is the best dog.

SUNDAY (Weigh-in day); "Shape Shifters" team
PW: (Previous Weight): 148.4 on Sunday, 2/26/23 (1ST DAY/1st Weigh-in for March Challenge)
CW: (Current Weight): (Next Weigh-In: Sunday, 03/05. Please, is that considered Week 1 or Week 2?)
TD : 00.0 (For lbs. lost to date)
I just joined the Zumba 6-week Transformation Program https://zumba6week.com/ (virtual classes can continue up to 12 months); so that should be a good "kickstart" for me! At least I've dropped down to the next "decade" of pounds for a few weeks; so that's good anyway!
Have a wonderful week everyone! ( Carole)
