Hi All,
My weigh in is on Fri-yay, but wanted to share some March goals with all. I’d like to keep to my cardio 3-4 x week and log in my food every day.
I was on the road this past weekend, which meant no cooking. The calorie intake was high, but I logged every morsel of food. I’m back home and following my healthy eating habits once again. Progress not perfection:)6 -

Right after Christmas I started exercising with FitOn app. Not much, 5-15 minutes a day, 10 minutes or less on most days to be frank. I am using a free version which still has a wide variety of workouts of different kind, length, difficulty/intensity.
At first, even the shortest and easiest workouts made me exhausted. I kept thinking that the supposedly easy routines were too demanding for me. I moaned they were created for young and fit. But I did not give up. I was sticking to short and lowest intensity.
Half-way through February I noticed that those workouts somehow became easier. I thought it was because of I had more energy on those particular days, got more sleep, didn't get that tired at work, but no, they have seemed consistently easier, even those with medium intensity. Yesterday I did a 20-minute pilates, the longest workout in years (at least 5 years). That was so motivating! I did 15-minute one this morning. Switching from evening to morning is another thing - I finally have enough energy to exercise in the morning. I am waking up earlier and I am able to move beyond the kitchen counter with the coffee maker. My weight still sucks, but I am optimistic I will eventually see the change there too.5 -
Due to an injury I have reverted back to doing seated exercise videos instead of my usual aerobics. I did them when I was first starting out 14 months ago and forgot how many calories I can burn this way! Especially when using weights.
I think even once I'm able to get back on my feet I will continue doing them some days in combination with the aerobic dance that I like to do.3 -
Hi Team Weight No More. My name is Cyndie aka cyndiesstuff.
A little about me:
I live in Michigan, have my whole life. I am married and have two adult children, both boys. My husband has two adult children, a boy and a girl. My husband and I have 4 grandchildren. A boy who is 17, a girl who is 9, a girl who is 3 and a boy who is 1. I am 55 years old and I currently weigh 166.3 lbs and am only 5" 1' tall. I have chronic pain, work a full time job as an office administrator, and am in menopause. I have a history of binge eating and I work on my mind set every day.
My daily goals are:
eat 1350 calories, take 7000 steps and drink 64 ounces of water.
My march goals are:
to lose 2 pounds, and to start incorporating some type of exercise besides the half hour walk I take every day. Maybe yoga or water aerobics if I can find a class that fits my schedule.
So March is my birthday month. I will be going to Florida to visit my youngest son and my oldest granddaughter. They live in Fort Lauderdale, but I have planned the vacation at Fort Myers. I am super excited to see them. Sophia, my granddaughter, is Grandma's girl. She has had a rough go of it. I have hired an attorney and we are working on bringing her to Michigan. Long story.
So here is to March! Let's make a commitment to the team that we will do one thing every day to further ourselves to our goals and then come her to share our trials and triumphs.

Yikes! How is it Wednesday already?!?
I'll post an intro this evening but wanted to drop a step post reminder...we've got a bunch of blank spots for end of February. I like to do the final post Wednesday evening so hope to see the rest soon!
On a personal note, I'm pretty pleased with myself...working on a team training project and we set deadlines 2 weeks ago. The first deadline was yesterday and we hit it! Usually, the deadlines are in my head and don't involve others but once a year, we do this group thing and it reminds me why I didn't like doing group projects in school (or my last job). I'm a bit of a control freak and...well. Anywho, we got the first milestone done and while others work on the next piece (I'll be involved but since AV is not my skillset, it is mostly them) I'll get working on building!5 -

I am trying incredibly hard to not be tough on myself today.
Last night, I had a couple bouts of dizziness. Totally normal, just means I need to be mindful of my hydration and electrolytes. I thought I could sleep it off.
This morning, I woke up and immediately felt dizzy. The original plan for the morning was to do some cardio in the gym before getting ready for work, but there was no way that would have been a smart move for me, so I went back to sleep for an hour, hoping I would feel okay enough to go to work. And despite having what felt like the beginning of a migraine, I pulled myself together and drove to work.
My boss brought in donuts, I ate one. Very quickly.
So, between not going to the gym, and consuming a large, very sugary, donut, I'm kicking myself. Nevermind I'm not feeling great, and nevermind I can start making healthier decisions with my next decision, I've internalized that today is not going to go my way - which essentially means I'll eat my very delicious feelings if I lose focus.
If my headache gets more prevalent, or if I develop any more serious symptoms, I'm going to go home early. Either way, I'm bringing my laptop home, just in case.
I'm going to try my best today, but I make no promises.4 -

If you cannot weigh in this week:- Request to be excused
- Request to be moved to the support team (this is a temporary team where you can stick with us until you're ready to rejoin the weight loss team)
- Do not request to be excused, and take a NWI (non-weigh-in) | Two NWIs in a row will result in you being moved to the drop list and removed from the team at the end of the month
Please please please let us know if you need to change your weigh day to another day of the week, or if there's something else we can do to help you be successful here. We are a team, and we are here to support each other!3 -

The 1st of March is my new year anniversary of new beginnings because it's the date we moved from our home country to another 14 years ago.

Didn't sleep well last night, and ended up waking up late. Skipped my yoga work out this morning, but I did take the dog on a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood this afternoon to make up for it. 🐕🚶♀️4

Hi! Can you add me to this month’s challenge? I was really sick for a couple weeks last month so couldn’t actively participate, but hoping to be back on the ball in March!

Good Morning everyone. I had a really good day yesterday. I felt productive and determined. I am going to memorize that feeling so I can use it later when I am down. I downloaded the fiton app and I did my first stretching for 20 minutes. I am going to take it really slow. I am really stiff partly because I haven't done it in so long because of the pain and partly because of the pain. That's why I stopped doing exercises besides walking. But I am going to give it a shot. Every day I do something to further me to my goal.
My one thing today was to start exercising. Done
What is yours?2
