Day 215(?) - I lost my phone on an excursion and hadn’t backed up in a couple weeks so I lost some of my data, but I’m at 345 miles from what I have. Close enough to what it really is, I’m sure. 480 walking miles. Unless something strange happens I should hit 1k miles as a combined total for the year. 😁 Stay strong and…

Hey, I’m going to drop out of the challenge for now. I’ve decided to focus on maintenance for awhile before I decide if I want to lose any more weight later this year. I need a break from trying to lose because I’m just not motivated to do it right now, pretty happy with where I am. Good luck guys! I’ll probably be back to…

LadySaton July Week 4 PW 146.6 CW 143.4 That loss is a combination of hormonal and exercise related water weight. I was down to 142 yesterday, but I had a budget-busting day after my morning weigh in. Pizza and all the chocolate ever, plus a milkshake. >_> Other than that I’ve had a strong, consistent week. I’m going to…

LadySaton July week 3 LW 145 CW 146.6 I’m not happy with that, but I’m reminding myself it’s TOM. I also ran 6 miles, walked 7 miles and biked 7 miles yesterday so hopefully some of it is exercise-induced water retention. 😑

LadySaton July week 2 PW 146.0 CW 145.0 I can get back on the forums! My app was funky and I could only get on from my iPad for awhile (which I hardly ever use). I didn’t even check yesterday if I could log in but tried today so I could weigh in. Ran my half marathon this morning so I’m going to try to get back on a…

LadySaton July Week 1(?) PW: 143.8(?) CW: 146.0 We went to a fireworks festival yesterday and I ate and drank so many things so I know I’ve got some water weight going on here and am not going to stress it. I’m on maintenance at the moment anyhow because my half marathon is on Sunday! Sorry I haven’t been daily updating…

LadySaton June Week 4 PW: 144.6 CW: 143.8

I lost my phone yesterday and am operating via my inconveniently-giant-for-portability iPad for a day or two! Also a sore back so I won't be running or lifting for a bit, just walking.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, I did some modified lifting today (my lower back is sore so I’m being careful) and some walking (Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is out and I had to level lol) Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No 😓 I had a really hungry day and I was hurting too much to make up for…

Just going to say, I also have a family member on thyroid meds probably for the rest of her life. She hated the thought of it, but is definitely doing better on them now. I’m sure the idea of needing medication daily is really overwhelming, but I hope the outcome of better health and happier living makes it worth it!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, I ran 3 miles and did some VR boxing! Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, I was able to fit in some treats even. Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes. Gutbusters Weekly Challenge: Did I have 8 glasses of water today (or my own personal goal)?…

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Lifting, 6 miles walked and 2 miles of running Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, somehow I managed Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes Gutbusters Weekly Challenge: Did I have 8 glasses of water today (or my own personal goal)? Oh yeah, in this heat…

When I first started out I walked. Not so much as first, but I added miles to my weekly routine over time. After awhile I started adding in some beginner Hasfit bodyweight and dumbbell strength training videos. Going slow and gradually building up strength and endurance left me motivated and uninjured. 👍🏻

LadySaton June Week 3 PW: 147.2 CW: 144.6 Trying not to be frustrated with the lack of overall progress over the last several weeks. I expected it, but it still sucks. 😑 I did at least drop (some of?) the vacay related water weight.

I’ve had a rough couple weeks here too. Partially because I’m intentionally eating more to fuel my runs (and having more freedom makes me want to take ALL THE FREEDOM and oops can’t go that far) and also we’ve been so busy I haven’t been able to keep on my lifting which I find very motivating. :-/ I was going to get my…

That is a good amount of protein for a small amount of calories. I have never heard or Kay's, and would like to try them. Do you know where these are sold? [/quote] I buy it on Amazon. It has Stevia and I normally avoid it, but I didn’t mind the taste in these. I also eat their snack crackers/puffs and like those. I…

@BonnieHosk85 - sorry to hear about the cholesterol results... hopefully those numbers will catch up with everything you’re doing. I like Kay’s Protein cereals - 120 calories and 12g of protein. I normally eat them in a smoothie bowl which my friends think is really weird because it looks like I’m eating cheerios in…

@jodilynnreeves and @lja860813 Holy wow, great losses!!! Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 5 mile run, some walking and another 3 mile run. We’re having some crazy cool weather and I was enjoying myself. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes! Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes!…

Day 163 - 249.09 miles

Exercise? Yes, I did strength training for an hour today, played DDR and BeatSaber, plus got over 20k steps so far. In calories? Yes! Tracked? Yes! Weekly challenge: Yes, I increased my exercise fron yesterday. That was really easy considering yesterday was a 13 hour drive. 🤣

LadySaton June Week 2 PW: 144.0 CW: 147.2 Back from vacay! Some of this is water weight, but some is definitely weight gain! This was a very sedentary trip with lots of food. It was fun, but my digestive system has suffered and I am glad to be back home and to my usual schedule.

Did I exercise? Yes, we had a family bike ride at a local park for a couple hours. In budget? Yes! Tracked? Yes! @jodilynnreeves I have that problem sometimes. Normally I just let it go as a “buffer” in case I ate more of something else, but sometimes I will estimate how many calories I shorted myself and add it in as a…

My husband and I bought bikes yesterday and I’ve had a blast riding again for the first time since college. 😁 Did I exercise? 5 mile run and about 9 miles biking, also lifting (missed a day last week) In budget? Yes Tracked? Yes

I’d be interested in weekly challenges. ^_^

LadySaton June Week 1 PW: 143.4 CW: 144.0 Pretty sure this is just leftover from my heavy pre-run carb-loading on Friday, but either way I’ll be in this general area for awhile anyhow. 😓

I’m having a maintenance calorie week here. My daughter’s birthday was this week, I have a ladies’ day planned for tomorrow (which includes delicious food), and today was my 11 mile training run so I carb-loaded yesterday like crazy. It seemed to do the trick because this run was so much better than the ten miles I…

Welcome @monkeybits ! Hope your training is going well so far! I’m nearing the end of my training program for a half marathon and it’s been really challenging. The idea of running a full marathon is mind-boggling to me, all the kudos and luck!

Day 152 - 224.68 miles

Exercise? 5 miles running and fending off bugs because I forgot my bug spray. 😭 Also, lifting, which felt wonderful because nothing was trying to EAT ME. Calories? Under Tracked? Yes!

Checking in! Exercise? We went swimming and I walked 8 miles. Calories? Over, but nothing terrible. Tracked? Yes.
