  • I didn't meet my yoga goal yesterday, but everything else I met. I ended up getting home later than I had planned so I just decided to take my tired self to bed. I am out of the house again this evening so another night of no walking. Not sure about the yoga yet as I am not sure when I will make it home...I am seriously…
  • Happy Thursday! I met all my goals for yesterday. Today, I am beyond tired and I'm not sure why. Could be my crazy schedule. I have another class tonight so I'm expecting my step number to be lower, and with this exhaustion that is following me today, I am not going to stress about it. Goals for today: 1. 15 min yoga 2.…
  • Thanks Kenda2427...I just took you up on that offer!
  • I met yesterday's goals and today has been a good day so far. Yesterday I mentioned I had joined a Fitbit challenge...well, I think I am competing with a bunch of runners because I am gettin smoked! That's even with me getting 12,000 plus steps the last two days... Anyway, I've decided it doesn't matter if I'm at the…
  • I met my goals yesterday. Oh, and we just purchased our plane tickets for our June vacation. Makes it seem real now! Today's plan... 1. 12,000 steps 2. 15 minutes of yoga 3. crunches and push up challenge (day 1 of 30 day challenge) 4. stay under my calories Enjoy your day!
  • Happy Monday! I got my scale drop this morning and made my goal for this challenge. Super pleased with myself! Still have a ways to go to my final goal but it's nice that I met this milestone early. Today I have a boat load of stuff to do but I joined in a FitBit Workweek hustle challenge so I am making a goal to hit…
  • Happy Easter! After returning from my mini vacation, I am happy to say I stayed within my calories AND was still able to treat myself! I am really hoping to see a drop on the scale in the morning since I haven't weighed in several days. If not, no biggie, I'll just keep on plugging along. Danelutza19....feel better soon!
  • I'm at the beach on a mini getaway with family. I am being vigilant about my food intake but enjoying myself at the same time. My goals for today... 1. Stay under my calorie goal. 2. Get 10,000 steps 3. Walk the beach! Happy Good Friday!
  • Dentist appointment yesterday left one side of my face numb for over 3 hours. My calories were so low, I treated myself to a milkshake for dinner. After all, I had just endured the dentist so I figured I deserved a treat! I did not make my step goal or get my walk in as I got home late and couldn't seem to talk myself into…
  • Dentist appointment at 4 this afternoon...yuck. Since I assume my mouth will still be numb at dinner time, I have a feeling I am going to be low on the calorie side. Today's goals are to get my walk in and hit at least 10,000 steps. Oh, and not drool. I seriously hate having dental work and being numbed...
  • Mexican is one of my two favorites. I don't go often because I have to have A HUGE amount of self control and will power, but when my family does go, my husband and I split fajitas. The portion sizes are just way to big to have in one sitting. I also don't have any chips, because if I eat one, I will eat the whole basket.
  • So far, I've lost 2 inches in my waist and 3 in my hips. Not too shabby.
  • Happy Saturday! Not a big fan of losing an hour tonight though... Yesterday, MFP recommended I change my calorie goal as I've lost a bit of weight. So I recalculated my TDEE and took away 20% to get my new total. Around 1450 give or take a few. So I changed my calorie goal yesterday to 1400, then changed it back to 1500…
  • That you have to change how you think when you reach your goal weight. The compliments of how great you look stop coming, the thrill of losing another pound is gone, and you have to learn how to maintain what you've achieved. You have to decide to be proud of and happy with who you've become. Vanity rears it's ugly head…
  • I weigh myself everyday, and this morning I was not expecting a loss due to losing .6 and .5 the last 2 days. I was surprised to find I'd lost another pound. After 3 weeks of the same number (due to overeating :s ) it is so nice to see my efforts paying off. I didn't get all my water in yesterday so I really want to hit 72…
  • School potluck dinner tonight for a fundraiser. My game plan is to eat only what I take. That way I can track it. I will probably pack a couple snacks for myself as well, to insure I stay away from the dessert table. So today I'm aiming to... 1)Stay under or at my calorie goal 2)Stay AWAY from the desserts 3) Drink at…
  • Yesterday was a success. I got an hour walk in, stayed under my calories, AND I indulged in a soda :) Today I am just plugging along. Feeling lethargic and I'm not sure why. This has been happening everyday for about a week, so I am thinking I need to take a closer look at what I'm eating. I keep hearing talk about macros…
  • Thanks Kenda2427!
  • Not gonna lie...I am struggling to make good food choices. Trying to figure out where I left my self control and motivation. If it wasn't for this challenge I can honestly say I would have thrown in the towel by now. I promised myself this weight loss time around, I would not stress over the lack of perfection. So this is…
  • Wonderful! Knowing this will continue makes me so happy! Thanks balancedwalker for all you do to make this available for all of us!
  • Congrats SingRunTing! Danelutza- I appreciate your words to Krp97. They are encouraging and motivating. I have a whole new outlook for plateau times now!
  • Great attitude to have SingRunTing! This journey isn't possible if you don't forgive days like yesterday and keep moving forward! I met my water goal yesterday! I want to do the same today but I'm adding in a 10,000 step goal. Can't let all my FitBit buddies beat me! Staying under my calorie goal before exercise is also an…
  • Today is a day off work in honor of President's Day! I had a good weekend and managed to stay under my calories both Sat and Sun. Hoping to do the same today. Have a lot of cleaning/laundry to catch up on. My main goal for the day is to drink 64 oz of water. I've been low on my water intake the last couple of days, so I am…
  • Nikon Pal: Congratulations! That is a huge accomplishment and I know you are smiling today! Besides, who wouldn't smile looking at that breakfast! Yesterday, I hit all my goals! I even got in 15,600 steps which I had never done before! I also stayed within my calorie goals before exercise, which I am very pleased with.…
  • Yesterday I got in 15658 steps! My highest yet!
  • I also weigh every morning but had never tracked trends...I had always just plugged in my number when my weight went down. The fluctuations have been frustrating even though I know they are a part of the process. I actually just downloaded the app Happy Scale. Based on danelutza19's and EmmieBaby's suggestions, I think…
  • Still here, still plugging along. I have struggled with my water intake this past week, so I am making a goal to get in my 64 oz. today, no excuses. I also want to stay in my calorie range, before exercise, and get in at least 10,000 steps. I will be spending some time on the treadmill tonight! To everyone who posts, thank…
  • Looking for packable, easy lunch ideas that stay below 400 calories. Any ideas?
  • Today is pajama day at my preschool and I am wearing pjs that a month ago I could barely get into, and were uncomfortably tight. NOT TODAY! They are now roomy and the perfect pajamas to spend my Friday in!
  • Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!
