So thankful to have a beautiful place to walk. It refreshes my soul and relaxes me after a busy day. **Couldn't get BBCode to work. Here's a link from 11/8 https://www.dropbox.com/s/kgybo31uzw5cyc7/IMG_20171108_160420-EFFECTS.jpg?dl=0

Been trying for 2 days to post a photo and just saw that the option is not available on Android mobile. Had a lovely walk yesterday in perfect blustery autumn weather. Didn't make it today, but will be out first thing in the morning.

Jumping in late, but need the challenge motivation. Love the idea of posting pics. Walk planned for this afternoon. What a beautiful way to support each other!

Day 21 Realizing that TODAY is St. Patrick's Day, not yesterday...lol.

Day 20 Down just a tad, but not to my goal. Thank you @kristendawm for this challenge. I am better everyday and am hopeful I will continue to drop weight and get fit. Happy St. Paddy's Day! SW: 202 CW: 199.2 GW: 198

Day 19 I'm getting in 2 workouts a week, plus an active job with 10,000+ steps per day. Feeling much better. Under my calorie goal just a bit each day, and staying under 200 lbs. All better than before this challenge. Thank you! SW: 202 CW: 199.4 (down .4 from last weigh in) GW: 198 (for this challenge) One more day...the…

Day 16 Made my walk this morning! Scale is up a tad, but I expected the weight loss from being sick would not be solid and stick. Still totally doable to meet my goal by St. Patrick's Day. Thank you to this group for helping me recuperate and move forward towards my health goals. CW: 199.8 GW: 198

Go you!

Day 14 Not much...but 10 minutes of stretching this morning is the first purposeful exercise in 2 weeks. I feel great! :D CW: 199.2

Yay! :smiley:

I also love making up my mind before eating out. It keeps me from waffling among all the choices, prevents impulse orders, and leaves me feeling in control. Thank you, Internet menus!

Day 13 I'm in that rotten phase of not very sick but not quite well. Am able to work and my appetite is better (though sugar cravings are wrecking my meal plan). I think I'm going to the old standby sugar to boost my energy. Will work on fighting the cravings, upping protein and iron, and finally, finally adding some…

Day 9 SW: 202 CW: 198.2 GW: 198 Not solid numbers due to illness, but will endeavor to maintain until St. Patrick's Day. Worried it will all blow up and I'll be back to my starting weight. Still coughing enough to make exercise extremely difficult. Will focus extra hard on food choices, though I'm craving more as I feel…

Day 8 Felled by multiple infections. Working on getting well and staying that way. Still logging food, what little I've eaten, and under my calorie goal.

Day 5 Feeling better today and will walk later. Yesterday I had over 13,000 steps, a 12 hour work day, and was under my calorie goal. Today won't be quite as busy, but perfect for an afternoon walk to welcome the month of March. Happy Tuesday! CW: Holding steady at 199

Day 4 Woke up with terrible cough and very sore lower back. Will try working out this afternoon when hopefully I'll feel some better. Will check back in later.

Small steps count...go you! Riding sounds like a wonderful way to get in a workout.

Day 3 I'm a morning person, so checking in now. Today is a rest day from my traditional exercise, but filled with house cleaning, meal planning, grocery shopping and pre-prepping what I can for the week ahead. I'm paying particular attention to snacks to make every nutrient count. CW: 199 (weigh-in 2/27) GW: 198 (I don't…

I'm a Georgia girl too...other side of the state. Savannah's celebration is legendary! Have a great time, and make healthy choices when you can. Add a little extra movement to offset some of the fun. Enjoy!

Good job!

Welcome!

Surprisingly awesome weigh in this morning... Down 3 pounds this week! I have worked hard on being brutally honest logging and it seems to be paying off...as well as being an eye opener. Meals are great... Snacks need a lot of work. Definitely still need to focus on my goal of working out 3 days a week. I seem to go up and…

Will do! I need that as well. Let's rock!

Jumping in late, but would.love the motivation of this challenge. I'm new to MFP and just explored Community. Hi everyone! :) Goal: 3 morning workouts/week CW: 202 GW: (by St. Patrick's Day) 198
