    Not sure why it’s creeping up as I’ve been good on calories and walking loads 🤔 oh well. I just reallly don’t want to go back in 220’s. I’m going to the beach for the weekend for some winter walks with the kids… but with that comes hot chocolate and snacks. Need to remember to log everything!

    Hello I'm Sandy I would like to join in on the weigh in for March. I currently weight 254.4 . I've not been doing well on my own. I do good on drinking plenty of water. After this weekend I can get back to exercising if my knee will let me. I'm resting it for the weekend from the doctor then we'll see how it goes. I need to lose weight for my joints. I'm 53 years old married mother of one grown daughter and a grand puppy,😊

    @jm216 You are doing so well, Jill!!

    Me, not so much. I wish spring would just come and stay! I was 206 last Wednesday, up from the Wednesday before. But March is still young, there is still time to turn it around!

    Sundays are usually good days, as my husband is home. We went for a walk and I logged my food. Let's see if I can bring that good energy into Monday! I weighed 205 this morning....coming back down!

    This our new puppy, Nova. ⭐️
    She’s sweet, energetic, loves naps, love to be outside playing in the snow. It’s so nice.. and a bit exhausting…to have a fur baby in the house again.

    Although I am not a dog person, she is really sweet! You'll get lots of exercise with her! Will she be a big dog when she is fully grown?

    She’ll get to about 60 pounds full grown. Before Nova we had another golden retriever named Roxie, and she and I were walking buddies. I think Nova likes our little walks so far.

    Oh she is so beautiful! I would love to have a doggo of my own one day but it’s not the right time for me now. I bet it will feel so good to have a buddy with you on your walks again. I had a golden retriever when I was a kid. He was the sweetest gentle giant ever. Love the name too 🥰🥰

    I thought I would give a little introduction. I am Lisa, 56, from Ontario, Canada. I am married for 31 years, an empty nester with two grown sons, one in town here and one that lives in Prague, CZ. We have a family farm supply business that I work VERY part time at, filing invoices and stuffing monthly customer statements.

    Sunday, the 5th

    Logged: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Water: 8 cups (could be better)
    Exercise: Yes, a 37 minute walk (318 calories)
    Steps: 12,050

    Monday, the 6th

    Logged: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Water: 10 cups
    Exercise: Yes, a 33 minute walk in the snow while my husband was curling (321 calories). It would have been really pretty were it December, and not March!
    Steps: 14, 519
    I went to work and did some filing, so that always gives me steps.

    Today is errand day, so hopefully I will keep busy and not spend too much time plunked down at my computer, which ALWAYS becomes my downfall! Tomorrow is Weigh-In Day!

    Well that was a nice surprise this morning. Couldn’t weigh yesterday as I had builders in the bathroom and I forgot to take the scales out. Let’s hope it stays down and this isn’t a fluke 🤞
