    Thanks @SherryRueter. We should know more on Friday. Appetite’s been kinda low so lost my window eating weight - around 4 pounds - in the last few days.

    Fighting to get my exercise mojo today and will continue with Caroline Girvan Fuel. Gotta shake it off! 💪💪💪

    @justgirl81 - do you also do strength training, or only cardio? What about yoga? Just curious. Are you training for an upcoming event or anything (many runners do that, so I thought I could ask).

    Hey Sherry :) Mainly cardio right now. i know i need to branch out again. I really enjoy yoga and weight training and think they are necessary for optimal health.

    Thanks @justagirl81

    I'm kinda getting into this mindset of lowering my calories. I don't know but, I'm starting to feel the vibe.

    @ceebeeslim - its nitrogen infused coffee, I think. Its served cold. Its so smooth and creamy - Completely can be drank without creamers. Amazing. Like cold coffee - but the nitrogen infusion ....

    I think that's great Sherry! I've read so much research on the longevity benefits for body and brain when a low calorie nutrient dense diet is implemented and utilized. The standard American "more is better" greedy attitude towards eating (and many other things) has proven unhealthy and disturbingly ugly/gross. I learn a lot from other cultures who live simply and enjoy beautiful health. Many of them place deep value on water, sufficient sleep, and abundant movement.

    Continuing to do well. I just feel soooo much better when I’m at 1200 max -maybe - maybe 1250. This may go against the 1200 is too low but it works for me and I have already lost the 5 pounds of crap weight from last week. Food prepping has been helping too. The test will be today until Monday. Weekends have a way of doing me in but I’m going to extract every cell of discipline (is that the right metaphor??) 😜😜 from my body to continue the course!

    @ceebeeslim I've been around 1000 the past 3 days. It feels great. Im also only 5'0" We're all different. AND if you're eating nutrient dense foods vs crap..... huge difference there also.
    Mediatate on the fact that "THIS WEEKEND WILL BE EASY". and mantras like that. Mindset is the only thing holding you back.

    Right now i'm enjoying a coffee with OUT sugar! I just added a 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon protein. perfect 5 ounces.

    CeeBee and Sherry, I am so impressed with how well you exercise discipline in your calorie consumption. I'm NEVER under 2100 calories anymore. I hope to improve.

    Happy April, I'm new to this group, but not to FitnessPal! I don't have much to lose (5-10 lbs) so I wanted to find a group like this. I'm 135 lbs at 5'5". Been stuck at 135 lbs for 2 years but don't feel my best at this weight. Most of my adult life I've been in the 115-125 range but 125-130 is a more realistic goal for me now. I am also trying to gain muscle and maintain bone mass. Cheers!

    Hi everyone! Lost track of things for the first half of the month. I guess I just wasn't feeling it. Got a few walks and runs in, but not nearly as many as I should. And diet went totally out the window. We've eaten out a lot lately. Weight is pretty much where it's been since the end of Februrary (lost 1 lb by end of March, so only regained 1), so I really need to get back on track.
    This is always a busy part of the school year, and between stress at work and travel/holidays, it's just been really hard.
    Going to try to track calories and go for a run after school today and we'll see where that takes me. One day at a time!
