What's one thing you know you do wrong...
...but haven't fixed yet? I'll start...I know I don't plan my meals correctly. I always eye ball it and eat it BEFORE I plug it into My Fitness Pal. I'm trying to change this. Today I programmed my entire day and we will see how I follow through for dinner after my workout. Another thing I know I do wrong...drink beer!…

August Challenge Sat Aug 29th to Friday September 5th
Heck, why not another week!! Honestly, you guys are the best motivation I have!! Storms are rolling in so not sure what outside work to do today. News is that we are going to have a real whopper of a winter. Considering that we have barely had winter here for the last 3 years, I am pessimistic. Little snow certainly has…

Getting down to the home stretch here ladies and gents. Yes, a Montana guy checking in at 0400h.. just one of those I can't sleep nights. We survived our match yesterday, today we get to staff/work the match with all the other shooters coming in. Yesterday was a blast, even if it was a long day.

Body Confidence...the most DARING thing you've done?
I wonder what else folks have tried or done when feeling confident about their body image. A few years back I starved myself and got super thin and walked across a stage in a bikini. That was daring. I was happy after months of work and starvation. Only to be miserable the next week when all the weight started coming back…

Just a practice thread to get us started before the August Challenge! LOL Had a pretty good weekend, but went off plan (a lot!) on the eating. Back to snacking on all the wrong things, but today is a new day. :smile: I did an 11.1 mile trail run/hike (hard to run when the elevation gain is over 2300 feet!) yesterday with a…

Sorry all I went MIA last week. I just read all the post and sounds like a lot of good stuff going on. So the summer events are officially over for me. My sister was home from Alabama last week and I took vacation to spend time with the family. So of course that meant lots of eating and that was on top of gains from the…

What do you think about a challenge?
Hey MyFitnessPal Friends! I think it is about time we have a challenge over here in our growing group. What do you guys think about a challenge where we check into a post called "August Check-In Challenge?" I'm getting this idea from Howie's very motivational weekly check in topics. We still need to have those as they are…

Starting over again, 1 year later.
So, I got all excited about dropping more weight and eating better etc after putting on 20 pounds of the 35 I had lost, then we get into summer.... Summer means Vacation Bible School, where for one week all the workers who pick up kids on the vans and bus are fed dinner at the church. Wonderful meals made by the best cooks…

Well it was a really rough weekend for me. I pigged out big time. We had a great weekend though. LOL I swear my body is like a dry sponge, just add any bad food and it soaks it up and expands. I am 15 lbs up just from 4 days of unhealthy eating. I know a lot of it will come back off right away but it's still discouraging…

I can't believe tomorrow is July first already! Summer will be over before it ever gets started. I'm sure that is especially true for you folks in Montana. I had a good weekend and I weighed the same this morning as I did Friday morning so that is always a good sign that I will have a loss this week. I am weighing in on…

Good morning everyone! How was your weekend? I had a very relaxing weekend. I took a long walk on Sunday then did some work in the garden. After that I pretty much just hung out on the patio and relaxed the rest of the day. Things are looking decent for a loss this week so I'm hopeful for Friday's weigh in. Hope everyone…

Hello! How is everyone doing? I had a pretty good weekend. Ran a 10K on Saturday and it was the first race (actually running!) I have done since March. I did great. Didn't have any problems with my knee during or after the race (yea!) and kept a pretty good pace throughout the race. Felt good to be back to actually running…

Fat Adapted/Carb Nite/Carb Backloading
So I'm confused. So far this year I've been working to be fat adapted. I don't pee on peices of paper (keto sticks) or check my blood ketone levels or anything like that, I've just been concerned with eating nutritious foods (minus alcohol) and eating pretty low carb/high fat. I've been doing well with that as far as my…

Good morning and Happy Monday! Did everyone have a good weekend? Mine was good... got a lot done, so feeling good about that! :-) Went to the Weight Watcher meeting and was up 1.6, but I was able to maintain my Free status so I didn't have to pay.

Well the holiday was not good for me. I really blew it this weekend and I'm pretty certain I will not lose any weight this week. It will probably be gain. All well, back at it tomorrow. Other than that it has been a fantastic weekend. lots of fun with family and friends.

Ah HA! I beat Howie to creating this thread this week!! Not sure why I'm proud of that, but I am. Probably because he is just so good at it. Congrats to Howie and to Angela for skipping a pant size last week! Just read that thread and it was fun to see everyone's progress. 44 is super cool Howie! And Angela, I'm stoked…

Good morning everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend. I did, my treat night was controlled to the amount of extra calories I wanted and I was spot on the rest of the weekend.
