Steps: 4,347
Sleep: ✔️✔️
Log food: ❌✔️
Exercise:
I can’t believe it’s lunchtime already. I am have technical issues with my iPad and the app is useless on the phone. I ordered a new iPad and it will be here in a few days. Fingers crossed that this one doesn’t totally stop working before it’s delivered.

Thank you for having me! I've been wanting to give back since I reached my goal. If anyone has any questions on what I did feel free to ask. I'm still getting ready for my first 5km race in 15 years coming up on April.3rd so I haven't let off the gas.
I started my journey on Feb.24, 2022 weighing 388.6 pounds and about to turn 40. I started off swimming laps and logging everything i ate. I work a desk job so I'd walk anywhere within walking distance. By August I moved from the pool to Elliptical until September where I started running again. Now I run 5km a day with half an hour of strength training. I do this 3 days on 1 day off.
I still log all my food in Maintenance and stick to the plan. I'm down a little under 7 pounds since I hit Maintenance in the first week of February. I don't want to get any lower than 225 and I'm 228 so it's still been a huge learning process.
Anyways that's me.6 -

BINGO Challenge
3 things I'm grateful for:
(1) Weekly weigh ins shared with others as they ensure I don't totally go off the rails and eventually get back on track after weeks of gaining.
(2) Fit pals who give me challenges to push myself to make better choices and create healthier habits and consequences when I ask for them for my unhealthy eating as the accountability helps me a lot.
(3) MFP being a free tool that I can use to work towards weight loss and a healthier lifestyle.

- Calories: 1196 (goal 1200-1600)
- Water: 136oz
- Gym: no
- Walk: no
- Protein: 109g (85 goal)
- Fiber: 11g (25 goal)
- THOUGHTS: Delicious salad for dinner, but it didn’t have as much fiber as I thought it would. If it wasn’t for the bowl of frozen berries I had for dessert (70 calories of YUMMY), my fiber would have been close to zilch.
