We had a lovely Easter weekend! We swapped out our traditional turkey dinner for an outdoor wiener roast at the lake. Played some pickle ball and went for a nice long walk. I’m starting to think the big turkey dinner with all the high calorie fixings is over rated. It’s about the people not the meal! We had a lovely time…

Good morning! Hoping to hit a maintenance weight before this challenge is over! I’m just not sure yet what that weight is. I’m working at losing 1-2 lbs per week. I’ll be focusing on daily, healthy, sustainable habits and see how far that gets me. HW 160.2 (Dec 2020) SW 143.0 GW 125.0-130.0 4/02 142.0 4/09 4/16 4/23 4/30…

You’ve got a lot on your plate! Nice to see you are giving yourself some grace regarding exercise and prioritizing sleep when you need to. You’ve got this! Take care!

I love Monday’s for the fresh start but Fridays for having something to work toward all week. I find the weekdays the easiest to stay on track so I’m most likely to see progress at the end of the work week. Haven’t decided yet which day I’ll pick for this group ... leaning toward Friday.

Good for you @JenT304 ! You’ll never know what works for you unless you try. The key is to try something. Good luck!

Welcome new members! Pumped to start a new month!

Here we go again! So excited to continue supporting each other! I’m going to stick to my plan from last time with a focus on consistency— Every week I will meal plan, shop, prep and weigh in. Every day I will do at least 30 min cardio and 10-20 min strength training. Every day I will log meals and stay under calorie…

I am grateful for this group and how you all made getting healthier motivating and fun. I lost 16 pounds and plan to keep progressing. See you all on the other board! Thanks for setting it up @RubyRed427

Thanks for all the encouragement @jessicakrall8 ! I’d like to join the step challenge for April please. Aiming for 9000 steps. My stepping will be done in the tread and outside with my dog.

Great question! My special occasion food that I used to always have on hand and ate nearly everyday after supper is ice cream. It’s the one thing that I just can’t do ‘in moderation’ I decided I would no longer buy it but if me or the kids wanted to have some, we could walk over to the convenience store and buy a single…

I’d love to keep going with this group, too! It has been so helpful to check in with a supportive, like-minded group. Knowing these goals take time, it would be great to be able to continue cheering you all on while also motivating me!

Thanks for the encouragement @lperkins5 ! I thought I remembered you saying you were using this method. Good tip on the water and vitamins! I just can’t believe how much more satisfied I feel by eating larger meals when I’m hungry and not eating when I’m not. It sounds so obvious when I say that. Lol. So far it seems…

Shnerb00 Friday PW : 146.2 CW: 143.8 Nice to see a move on the scale as I hit a little plateau for a few weeks. Participated in this week’s ‘swap challenge’. Liking the impact it may have had! Swapped out my afternoon protein bar for my usual breakfast of Greek yogurt and swapped out breakfast to give intermittent fasting…

A mid-week update. I’ve fasted from 8pm-12pm for 3 days now. I was very reluctant to try this as I have it ingrained to never skip breakfast and I love my breakfast meals of oatmeal or yogurt. Here’s what I’m noticing so far... I’m not missing breakfast at all, I have more time in the morning, I have one less meal to…

This is such an important note. I rarely keep trail mix in the house because I can so easily over eat them. When I do measure and eat a ‘serving size’ as recommended on the package I never feel as satisfied as I think I should with that high number of calories. This is a good reminder that it can sometimes be just as easy…

Haha. This analogy couldn’t be more spot on! @rnc52012 slow and steady! Consistency will get you where you want to be. So tough to put a time stamp on it but, when in doubt, ask Google. Lol.

I also have become more vigilant about taking vitamin D along with my multivitamin. Don’t know if it’s making a difference with energy but it sure doesn’t hurt to try! I think I’m going to add some iron to the mix. Hearing and seeing this all through through a kid’s lens is a breath of fresh air. What grade do you teach?

Yes the anniversary of the lock down could very well be a contributing factor. Kids have been hit hard but wow, are they ever resilient. I hope the combination of spring and more vaccines will reinvigorate a very tired society. So glad to hear you’re back on track! You’ve got this!

You’re doing great @kwgrandma !!
