@conleywoods - I am excited about the end of the school year coming soon for you! I manage stress usually by walking or running. If its sunny that's a huge bonus but I go regardless. There is something about getting outside that helps me to balance life even if its only 5-10 minutes. If I can't go somewhere and stress…

@jugar here are my steps to date for May 7: 5393 8: 11041 9: 10113 10: 9949 I'd love to participate on the zoom call as well!

CW: 160.5 PW: 160.5 Yeah! No increase is okay. Yesterday I ate 10 mint milanos cookies on a road trip.... 10. Why would I buy those without anyone else to share them on the road trip? Ok I did enjoy the soft and minty decadence. But totally not in my calorie or sugar or carb budget. That’s over and I will do better next…

[quote="conleywoods;c-45961991" I try and remind myself that my visitors are here to see me, not my house.] I love this comment. Sometimes I used to be so busy thinking about the faults of my house, or the mid-renovation projects that I didn’t invite guests... it took me moving away to start inviting everyone over and I…

I’m feeling committed I’ve tracked all my food intake and exercise this WHOLE month! 😆 Yesterday I took a long walk in a beautiful part of my city. It’s nice to see people out in our cafes again!

@micki48 here are my steps for the last weeks in April. 19: 5324 20: 10502 21: 10149 22: 9584 23: 15284 24: 6256 25: 16146 26: 10903 27: 4611 28: 7388 29: 4319 30: 7150 31: 12450

Happy May everyone! My name is Stephanie, I am married with 3 kids and live in Luxembourg. This month I’m working to sleep 7 hours each night and keep my carbs less than 100g daily. I haven’t been able to stay consistent for the past few months so I want to change that. I like to run, hike and bike. This month I might…

PW: 159.5 CW: 160.5 Sorry for the upswing this month. I haven’t been on track for exercise and food intake and the scale shows it. And so do my jeans... but it’s ok May will be sunny and I will get after it. @micki48 glad to see that your son in law is home!

@jugar I’ve never been around horses so it’s funny to read your post about “mare nirvana”! hilarious!

My healthy intentions for this weekend are to soak up some sun. Its beautiful sunny here (just sorta chilly compared to Florida) and I want to be outside. It helps with my fitness and my mood. :blush:

PW: 159.0 CW: 158.5 Arrghh. I’m frustrated with gaining weight while on travel and it not going away immediately. I feel like I’m losing the same 5 pounds over and over.... well I’m glad it’s coming off at least! I did find that PB2 powder at Amazon and it can be shipped to me here!

WHAT??? Powdered peanut butter? I didn't know there was such a thing! That sounds amazing! - Ok Ok... I am going to try to act cool.... Could you tell me where you found that?

I spent a lot of yesterday morning looking at my goals for fitness for the year and how I am doing so far. I cant believe its April ALREADY! It seems like my routine has been out of whack lately and my tracking shows that I haven't been consistent with exercise, food or tracking... :) So I need to get back to some…

PW: 155.5 CW: 159.0 Sorry I’m late to check in. Traveling for 28 hours to get home. I’m not sure how legit my weight this week is without a routine and with eating regularly and way too much salt. I hope to get back to normal soon!

@micki48 I hope you enjoy the beach that sounds like a great time! @conleywoods any luck yet on the ring? I hope you find it! @PlaneMonkey your photos look amazing great progress in a short time frame! Congrats!!

PW: 155.5 CW: 155.5 (I don’t have a scale here...) Steps for April 2: 5273 3: 7363 4: 8081 5: 6991 6: 8066 7: 15041 8: 8546 Due to the Coronavirus and lockdowns in Europe we decided last minute to travel to the US for spring break. We have been in Alabama this week and will be in Florida next. The change of pace is great.…

@micki48 Thanks for sharing your day! Love the tulips and the pink boots ! What a colorful beautiful day. 😁

PW: 156.5 CW: 155.5 I'm back on track and my body feels good after a bit of routine. Although my steps are much lower this week... 3/28: 5,625 3/29: 2,927 3/30: 13,797 3/31: 5,194 4/1: 5,428

@Micki48 - could you add me back to the steps team for April? My husband bought me an apple watch and I am truly missing my Fitbit and the encouraging competitions. I'm surprised how far apple is behind Fitbit really. If anyone has suggestions for me on how to use this better I would love them. @yinxfed - Love that rock…

Its great to read everyone's posts and get restarted/refreshed for April. @YinxFed I loved reading your breathing routine - it was like I was breathing and stretching along with you! I tend to hear the alarm and get right up. It would help me to slowly wake and appreciate that moment. @PlaneMonkey congrats on getting all…

Hello everyone! My name is Stephanie, I currently live in Luxembourg but am from Oklahoma. I'm married with two teenage kids and also have a son in the US. I'm working on a Masters Degree and taking French lessons. I love to run, hike, bike and travel. I hate that COVID has restricted movement and there doesn't seem to be…

PW: 155.5 CW: 156.0 I'm not focused on this weight loss this month and haven't been doing a great job of tracking everything. I'm still in a rebellion phase for having too many small habits that I have to remind myself to do instead of them being my routine. BUT I am still checking in and still watching the scale. My…

PW: 155.0 CW: 155.5 Thankfully there's not much of a change on the scale. My mindset lately has NOT been directed towards fitness, sleeping well, proper eating or health. I can sense it in my overall energy levels too. I know I need to get back to a routine that works for me. I'm glad there's only a small impact.

This week feels like its two weeks long... my kids have trimester finals and we are studying every night, lots of Dr. appts and meetings and blah blah blah. Funny how my schedule can go from empty to packed. I'm trying to remind myself to enjoy these times and that I will miss it one day... just not feeling it. On the…

@jugar love the stroller pic! Once when I was running a marathon at mile 22 or so I wanted to walk and was barely moving when a man who had to be in his 70's trotted happily by me and patted my back. He cheerfully said "You got this!" I was inspired and tried to catch him as he bounced away. He had to have finished miles…

CW: 155.0 PW: 155.5 Sorry for not checking in yet I've been in a rebellious phase all week. Not tracking all my foods, high carbs, alcohol, pizza, ice cream, chips and salsa!! Funny I used to love these foods and just eat what I wanted - now I eat just a small portion and then feel regret about eating them. This not a…

Good morning everyone! My name is Stephanie :) I am an American living in Luxembourg with my husband and 2 kids, I also have a grown son living in the US. My focus here is to lose about 10 more pounds but more so to gain or share helpful ideas for better health and encouragement and strategies from like minded people about…

PW: 156.5 CW: 155.5 I tried on everything in my closet this week. I’m at that point where “I have nothing to wear”... because my clothes feel and look different on me. I’m happy to say that I finally fit the dress I’ve had for at least ten years (with the tag still on it) that I was determined to fit in! Funny how I kept…
