7–211.2
8–209.6 🌷 not much sleep last night with a teething puppy, but Nova and I took a Power Nap this morning…and after seeing this beautiful number on the scale, who could be cranky? Not me!

Yay, didn’t go up. Found a few new low calorie recipes to try out this week. It’s so much easier when you really enjoy the food you’re eating.
Thanks Lisa 🥰

My husband and I went to the Brier yesterday (the Canadian Men's Curling Championships). We left at 7:30 in the morning, watched the morning and afternoon draws and got home around 6:30. So, a bit of a long day. When I got home I read some stuff on MFP but I was too tired to post. And my Fitbit said I got 8,627 steps yesterday, which I don't even know how that is possible! Lunch was chicken Parmesan on a bun with some carrot ginger soup (very good). We shared some fries in the afternoon. Not a beer drinker, so I only had water. ($4.50 at the venue!). Obviously I didn't log my food, but I would say I was in maintenance range, if I had to guess.

Friday, the 10th
Logged: Up until a point.
Under: Nope, not at all.
Water: 10 cups, I think.
Exercise: Yes, I went for a 33 minute walk in the snow!!
Steps: 9,777
I went to the grocery store hungry. Yes, I did know better, but I was out "my foods"! Naturally, I bought some things I shouldn't have, and then I ate them, of course! I was out of calories by 4 pm! My husband went curling, so I was home alone. Not starving by any means, but I got into the chips I bought for him, and then it became a free-for-all. Had it not been the case, I would have walked around my house to get to 10K steps, but I had already blown the day. Up a pound on the scales. Today is a new day.

Hi!
My name is Andi and I currently live in Illinois.
I’d love to be a part of this Group.
My starting weight was 235.
I dropped to 229.8 in February, and will weigh again on March 20th. I can share with you my habits and trials and successes.
My current challenge is to stop snacking after 6:00pm, because my blood glucose goes up.
I’m also trying to log my exercise and establish a routine of stretching, walking, and resistance training.
My ideal body weight is 150.
I’ve been trying to do this for a decade or more.
The lowest I’ve reached is 180.
Looking forward to meeting new people!!!1 -

Back to it today. Wanted to get out for a hike today but my son is home from school feeling poorly. Roll on the warm weather to kill all the bugs 🙏

At the moment I'd love to be in the 200s, but eventually I will be aiming towards that 200 goal so I thought it would be good to join this challenge!
My name is Eddie, I'm 29, and I really struggle with my mental health. In the past this has meant binge eating on fast food as I had little to no energy to deal with food prep.
March goals:
No fast food
Eat regular meals
Lose ~10lbs
Highest weight: 366lbs
Start Weight: 358.3lbs
March Beginning: 358.3lbs
March Current: 346.1lbs
Half way through March and already beat my 10lb target!

Wow Eddie, you’re already doing so well. Slow and steady wins the race. I’m a binge eater also. I found that eliminating alcohol helped me. It wasn’t so much a calorie thing but a will power thing. Nothing goes better with a cold beer than a giant bag of crisps or a pizza 🫣At the moment I'd love to be in the 200s, but eventually I will be aiming towards that 200 goal so I thought it would be good to join this challenge!
