Weigh in Wednesdays
PW: 249.8

Been doing meal planning this week...and working a lot this week (covering for someone at work). That has helped since I haven't been able to exercise as much. Been drinking at least 64 oz of fluid..mainly water each day too.4 -
I got up early this morning and journaled. I do it every so often when I am looking for a new tool to try. So I decided to make a recording, in my own voice, telling myself why I don't want to overeat. Why I want to follow my plan. Fantasize about what I will look and feel like when I get there. And suggestions to pray. Thru the day, I will take the two minutes and listen to myself. My goal is to at least 3 times a day. It's like practicing. While it is playing, I envision my words. Then when game time comes in the evening when I am sitting on the couch, I will have already practiced. I have always said I forget to do or say the things I want when I am in that moment. This way I will have practiced. Maybe it will help. Can't hurt!!4

So...I want to post end of March step challenge BUT I'm missing posts from @abp1025, @Zumba_Luvah and @OllieAndEd2021. I don't want to have to close the month down 3...I'll give it a few more hours...0

So far, so good with recommitting to journaling. I know we're not even a week into April yet, but I'm celebrating my wins!
My husband started draining the pool in the backyard yesterday to refill it with fresh, clean water for the new season. We are supposed to have record-breaking high temperatures next week, so I'm hoping he gets the pool refilled before then in order to start warming the water up. Between the warmer than normal weather and our solar heater, I hope to be able to get in the water before the end of the month. This will be a nice supplement to the water aerobics classes I take at the gym.

Only a half pound loss this week but I hurt my knee and could not do my normal Cardio. This month I want to focus more on weight training while keeping to my Cardio workout. Happy Easter Everyone !4 -

I am still waiting on updated weights from the following:
@oaker
@Emm_165
@mrsjennia
@vespm
@tadoore
Yes, you still need to provide a weight this week even if this is your first week.1 -
Hi lovely people! My week has been crazy of late...my partner has been in poor health and is affecting her cognition...and she's kinda taking it out on me, without realising it. It's been exhausting. But one thing I have control over is my food and my movement. I have been determined to keep my steps over 7,000 a day... even if i am walking around the apartment at 11.30pm!! haha
I have noticed that people are putting in their steps...is there a step challenge? I would love to take part if that's possible! Maybe keep me a bit more motivated.3 -

Hmm, that's a great question! I think just moving around more when I'm NOT at work. I have a habit of being a couch potato when I'm not working (I'm on my feet a lot at work) and doing nothing.
I bought some dumbbells the other day- I went into the store to buy a suitcase and came out with 2x 5lb dumbbells- go figure!
Anyway- I am going to do my 7,000 steps a day- including a few 5 minute increments of doing stepping with the dumbbells for extra resistance! I will get myself some good exercises to do with them this week too... Being nearly 400lb, I know that the loose skin is going to be terrible once I get to my target weight...so I should start working on toning stuff NOW!

It was a very good day yesterday. I had fun, got alot of work done, and stayed on plan. I have a 3 day weekend! Yay me. My holiday plan is to eat to my weight loss calorie goal Friday and Saturday, and Sunday eat to maintenance. I will have a small portion of the food I prepare for easter, one desert and no candy. Now to execute the plan.
Who's with me? What is your easter food plan??1 -

Friday weigh-in
PW: 162.1
CW: 161
Whew! Some decent movement downward for a change is motivating. I reduced my exercise a bit and tried to keep my calorie intake more consistent, with the exception of one day when I ate at maintenance. Instead of evaluating my calories on a day to day basis I have started looking at the average on a weekly basis. Maybe it helped or maybe it is a coincidence.
Will be doing some baking and holiday prep today as we are having our family Easter brunch tomorrow instead of Sunday. I plan to eat at maintenance level tomorrow then go back to the plan I've been following on Sunday.
Have a great weekend everyone!1 -
I've done reasonably well foodwise this week, having lots of fruit, veg and nuts. The heavier meals were lasagne on Wednesday and, last night, we went out for Mexican food (just had a main course - no starter or dessert) but I did have a Margherita and some beer.
🌮🍸🍺
I had lost a bit of weight earlier in the week but I don't expect it to have stayed down for tomorrow's weigh-in.
🤞😏
Although today is a holiday, I had a couple of online lessons this morning and I feel like I just want to do nothing for the rest of the day. Hopefully, I'll get my butt moving soon. So, that's my one thing, move!0 -

@melaniedscott - 32,683 total | 4,669 average
All of our bolded steppers set a goal and met it, based on their average steps per day!
For all that we lost two steppers in the last week, our step team still finshed with almost 2.5 MILLION steps. That is some serious stepping!
We finished March with ~620,000 fewer steps than February with one extra week. Can we beat February AND March in April?!? April goal...can we break 4 million steps?
Look at those amazing step numbers! Well walked!
Last minute edit: forgot to organize top to bottom...4 -

There is! @melaniedscott collects everyone's steps from the week in our spreadsheet and provides a report every Wednesday/Thursday or so. You'll likely see folks posting their Sun-Sat step counts at the beginning of every week. All you have to do to participate is post your steps in here before Melanie makes the results post (I would recommend getting them in by Tuesday), and you're all set!

Glad to see that my weight gain last week was definitely from the fertility meds I was on. They're out of my system and I'm down the 3.2 I gained plus .6. I feel so much better lol3 -

Being at home is awful for my logging. I didn't keep up with it yesterday, and I missed all of today. I'm going to retroactively log today's food so I can get back on the right track.3 -
