July 22: Pass #3. Had a long day out of the house, didn't get to plank. Did over an hour of walking and have gone through to log everything, but I ended up about 700 calories over. I've already gone for a 7-mile run this morning, so in an ideal world, I'll be 700 calories under today. I've already had lunch and have 1901…

July 21: Exercise?: Yes, ran intervals this morning. Plank?: Yes. 21 for 21 on that. Calories?: Yes, with 161 to spare, though I did not log the last 10 minutes or so of walking since I was already under and done eating. Tracked?: Yes. Snacked less than usual at work today because I was so busy.

July 20: Exercise?: 49 minutes of walking after I was too exhausted to get to the gym this morning (yesterday was rough in a lot of ways.) Plank?: Yes. Just finished it just now. Calories?: Yes, with 218 to spare. Tracked?: Yes.

July 19: Pass #2: work stress caused me to overeat a bit in the afternoon. Yes on the exercise and planking, though.

July 18: Exercise?: Yes, 35 minute run this morning, but my leg's told me to take it slower than usual. Plank?: Yes. Calories?: Yes, with 221 to spare. Tracked?: Yes. All 7 gummy bears in the mid-morning and the handful of dried apricots for dinner, which ended up being many more calories than I expected (so it's a good…

Feel free to add me! I log every day, my diary is open to friends, and I feel like I've been trying to lose these last five pounds for about two months now...

July 17: Exercise?: Yes, 37 minutes of weights this morning, though it felt more difficult than usual. Plank?: Yes. Haven't missed a day yet, so I'm proud of myself for that. Calories?: Yes, with 335 to spare. Tracked?: Yes. Still snacking a bit at work, but I have been eating a bit less at lunch, so it all balances.

July 16: Exercise?: Yes, 60 minute run at 7 mph, plus walking. Plank?: Yes, after the run. Calories?: Yes, with about 300 to spare. Tracked?: Yes, including the alcohol at a friend's birthday party.

July 15: Exercise?: 35 minutes weight lifting at the gym, plus walking. Plank?: Yes. Calories?: Yes, barely. Tracked?: Yes. Turned down one last drink because I knew it would put me over.

July 14: Exercise?: 95 minutes of walking in total today, including a long walk at lunch. Plank?: Yes. 14 for 14 on that. Calories?: Yes, with 208 to spare. Tracked?: Yes, even the glazed donut I shouldn't have had this morning. Back on track and hoping for a strong weekend. Have a great one, everybody!

July 13: Pass #1. Went about 150-200 calories over budget. Hit everything else. Tomorrow's a new day.

July 12: Exercise?: 40 minute run on the treadmill this morning; accidentally ran steeper hills than I intended to by choosing the wrong program, but I pushed through it. Plank?: Yes. 12 for 12. Calories?: Yes, with 331 to spare. Tracked?: Yes. Snacked less than usual today, as I had to run an errand that involved a lot of…

Always open to new motivational friends for accountability, so feel free to add me. I log every day!

July 11: Exercise?: As I mentioned in my check-in for yesterday (posted this morning,) I skipped the gym this morning out of a need to reset myself a bit. Fit in 29 minutes of logged walking during the course of the day. Plank?: Yes, just completed that minutes ago. Calories? Yes, with 238 to spare. Tracked?: Yes, all 27…

A little delayed, as I got home late last night. July 10: Exercise?: Yes, 35 minute strength training at the gym, plus a total of 68 minutes walking. Plank?: Yes. Calories?: Yes, with 310 to spare. Tracked?: Yes, including each Life Savers peppermint that are really just breath freshening sugar. Unplanned rest day today…

July 9: Exercise?: 7-mile run this morning (60 minutes), plus the usual walking. Plank?: Yes, before the gym again. Calories?: Yes, with about 400 to spare. Tracked?: Yes. I had a strong desire for chocolate in the afternoon, but the 864 calories burned during the long morning run meant that I could indulge a little bit.…

Tracked?: Yes. Had two big meals today and almost nothing more, except for the Reese's Pieces at the movies. I was careful to count…

Fridays are so difficult. July 7: Exercise?: Ran intervals this morning, 35 minutes (well, 10 minute warm up, 15 minutes of intervals, and 10 minute cool down.) Plus the usual walking that comes from living in New York, including 14 minutes in the rain without an umbrella. Plank?: Yes. 7/7 so far on that. Calories? Yes,…

July 6: Exercise?: Rest day from the gym today, but still clocked in 43 minutes of walking, plus... Plank?: Yes, two minutes of that as well, after work today. Calories?: Yes, with 50 to spare. Close, since it's a non-gym day. Tracked?: Yes. Avoided the M&M's at work too, by chewing gum (which was, of course, logged.) I'm…

July 5: Exercise? Yes, 35 minutes of weight lifting at the gym, plus 22 logged minutes of walking (I usually only log walks that are longer than 5 minutes, so this isn't the total for the day.) Plank? Yes. Calories? Yes, under with 227 to spare. Tracked? Yes. Even the extra bit of breakfast granola I needed to get through…

Calories? Under, with 706 to spare. Tracked? Yes, including the cup of soft serve ice cream for dessert. It is a holiday, after…

July 3: Exercise? Yes. 35 minutes of weight lifting at the gym this morning. Plus, a trip to the Museum of Modern Art, so about two hours of walking there, though it was slow paced and I didn't log it. Plank? Yes. Calories? Yes, about 500 under. I might need a snack later this evening because I don't want to go to sleep…

July 2: Exercise?: 8 mile run this morning, a personal record distance. Clocked in at 67:18, which was probably too fast in the heat. Plank?: Yes, right after the run. Calories?: Yes, better than yesterday, even with a number of afternoon and evening drinks. Sometimes, it's tricky to know the bartender. Tracked?: Yes. Even…

Difficult start to the month, but on track! July 1: Exercised?: Yes. 36 minutes of weight lifting at the gym and a total of 79 minutes walking during the course of the day. Calories?: Yes, though I cut it close today. Not happy with that, but it is under. Tracked?: Yes. Even the half-candy bar my fiancée bought and split…

Hello everyone! This challenge is exactly what I need right now. My name is John, I'm 30, and I'm from Brooklyn, New York. I'm trying to cut, but have really struggled with the last 5-10 pounds because I have a habit of snacking when I'm stressed at work. But I think a challenge like this, taken day by day, will help me…

Always looking for new friends. I'm on here every day trying to cut down a bit. Hitting a bit of a difficult time over the past few weeks with the last 5 pounds, so I could use all the support I can find. :)

Welcome! Best of luck to you! :)

I'm my third cup of coffee this morning after rain and train delays made my morning commute a disaster. But that means today can only keep getting better, right??

30 years old from Brooklyn, New York! Feel free to add me, I log every day.

I'm from Brooklyn. Anyone can feel free to add me!
