I didn’t think I’d come anywhere near this goal because my loss rate totally tanked compared to where it was before, but today I weighed in at 144.4 so I’m definitely closer than I expected to be. It’s going really slowly now, but at least it’s still going. The past few weeks it has felt like nothing at all is happening.…

Exercise? Lots of walking today. In calories? Over by 22 for the day, under by about 500 for the week. 👍🏻 Tracked? Yes!

Try searching Amazon for over ear bluetooth headphones. They definitely have some on there at decent prices and great reviews. I have experienced the drum effect with my AirPods, but only when I forget to take out my earrings. Maybe it’s something like that for you as well?

Day 132 - 165.62 This was a relaxed week, next week my mileage bumps up again. 🤪

LadySaton May Week 3 PW: 145.9 CW: 145.2 Happy Mothers’ Day!

I don’t go to the gym, but I exercise every day now. However, at least one or two days a week my exercise is just walking. I do strength training 3 times a week (M&S dumbbell program + some bodyweight upper body work and glutes-specific exercises) and run 3 times a week, sometimes both on the same day. Days off from…

Exercised? 6 mile run + recovery walking Calorie budget? I have 5 whole calories left, but it still counts as being under! 🤣 Tracked? Yes. Today was such a junky eating day. I think I’ll be quite regretful tomorrow with stomach cramps. 😱

@allietuge Great self control at the celebration! @BonnieHosk85 Enjoy your vacay! I miss Florida beaches! 💕 Daily check in: Exercise - Yes, lifting + bodyweight + lots and lots of walking In calories - Nooooo, but not off by much. I ate to satisfy my hunger today, but with more healthful and satiating choices so it wasn’t…

Exercised? Today was a rest day, but I did a few miles walking just to reach my step goal. In calories? No, but I’m still about 600 under my goal for the week. 👍🏻 Tracking? Yes! My eating was such a mess today. I tried a short-ish 15 hour fast bc I was having some stomach issues. I managed the timing just fine. I had a…

You could try using different ways of tracking your progress. For example, my strength training isn’t exactly burning a ton of calories but I track my progress in how many reps I can do at what weights and keep that to look back on and remind myself there’s improvement. I don’t burn as much running and walking as I used to…

Day 128 - 159.61 miles

Wow, lots of people on top of it this week. 💪🏻 Can’t let the scale number get us down either when it decides to disagree with all the hard work. 🤣 Exercise? 4 mile run + my lifting and bodyweight training In calories? Yes! Tracked? Yes!

Well, I overate from my planned lunch today (I think my body really wanted the energy from yesterday’s run back lol), but then the restaurant didn’t have the sauce I like for dipping so I ended up not having any chips and dip at dinner which saved me over 300 calories from what I had logged and made up for it so I didn’t…

I forgot to check in last night, but I had a good day. I ran 4 miles, did my lifting and bodyweight training, tracked everything and stayed about 400 calories under my goal thanks to exercise calories. We’re going out tonight and although the meal I have pre-chosen (fish tacos!! 😋) will fit into my daily calories today, I…

Thanks and happy running/walking/winning at life to all of us! 🤣

I say do whatever you find more motivating! 😁 Prorating sounds like a good idea too! I would have done that but thankfully my phone was tracking my miles even before I was. 🤣 Day 126 - 155.59

Exercise? Yes, I had a slow 2 mile walk and some light bodyweight exercises. In calories range? No, I ate back most of my leftover calories today, but my weekly goal was still under. Tracked? Yes!

LadySaton May Week 2 PW: 146.4 CW: 145.9 Woohoo! 🥳

Happy Star Wars Day all! ^_^ We had a very junky celebration day here, but thankfully I could afford the calories because this was also my long run day! 😁 Exercise? Today was a 9 mile run, my longest yet, and several miles of recovery walking. I’ve found I really regret it if I don’t walk a good bit on my long run days.…

I started off my weight loss journey by modifying how much I ate and walking as often as I could. Walking isn’t exactly a calorie torcher, but it does help you reach your calorie goals by increasing the amount you burn daily. I also found it very beneficial to my cardiovascular health, lower body and back comfort and…

Day 124 - 151.59 miles, never thought I’d actually enjoy a nine mile run!! 🤣

Yeah, it still works fine if you don’t adjust your move goal on the watch. My watch goal is 500 and i only have about 1200 calories burned so far today, but I still have the max 36 points for going around my move ring 3 times (in app goal is 290). I’m glad I opened this to read. I couldn’t figure out why my goal was lower…

Exercise? Over an hour today between lifting and cardio! Calories? Yes. Just barely squeaked under the line! Tracked? Yes. Today’s tracking was awkward because I was having nibbles here and there, but I made myself track every nibble. 🤣 I had a chocolate and almost didn’t track it because I thought omg it’s just 40…

@BonnieHosk85 That is awesome, seriously. Housework makes me want to lie on the floor and cry. Which is unfortunate because I’m a stay-at-home mom who also hates clutter and mess. 🤣 So basically - I’m either miserable from housework or miserable from the mess that happens when I avoid the housework. Daily check in:…

Day 122 - 142.59 miles - I have a 9 mile run on my training schedule for this weekend. 😱

Almost forgot my daily check in! Exercise? Yes, 7 miles walked, 30 minutes lifting and 74 pushups (in 5 different sets). That’s the most pushups I’ve done in a single day (12 more than my record), so that was encouraging. Calories? Yes, with plenty to spare today. Tracked? Yes!

@bdashnay Everything I’ve read has suggested two pounds as the max weekly loss unless you have close medical supervision. I guess so your doctor can make sure it’s going well and all nutritional needs are being met? I did occasionally lose more than two pounds a week here and there myself, but it wasn’t intentional (I got…

Exercise? Yes, 3 mile walk and lots of chinups. I managed to do an actual *unassisted* chinup for the first time (I haven’t tried without the resistance band in a long time) and ended up doing several more throughout the day, with plenty of rest between each. Very happy, now to be able to do two in a row! Calorie budget?…

Today I was at 147.4 so still retaining that water weight. 😱 Still happy with how April went overall. I didn’t lose what I’d hoped to, but I had some exciting NSVs. ^_^
