Morning all! I think things are getting back to normal a little bit around here. June has been such a cluster....I'm really happy that it's about over. PW: 140.8 CW: 140.2 Last week started off shakey like I may have mentioned, valve body repair, leaky house, all that good stuff. But on Tuesday, I got a ride over the…

Happy Tuesday everyone! @jugar - do you think I can move my weigh-in days to Tuesdays? That's when I have my real appeal meetings so I have to weigh in for that as well. PW: 140.8 CW 141 Last week was another throw away week. Being carted to/from work just throws off all my motivation. Although being carless forced my…

I'm trying to climb back on the horse but man, I feel like I just stepped out of a time warp (minus Tim Curry :D ). So here's where I'm at: PW: 139.4 CW: 140.8 I didn't do crap last week, so an increase was expected, plus I may still be retaining some fluid since I'm just coming off my cycle. Here's the cliff notes…

Hey All! So sorry I didn't check in last week. It was a doozy of a week. Transmission problems, a death in the family, being denied telework - it just wasn't good. However, I did have a great time at the yoga fest! I'm going to check in with my weight tomorrow because I have to get new scale batteries and I'm still in…

So my week is already thrown off due to the holiday yesterday. Honestly last week was (I thought) total crap. I had a lot of out of office work to do, so my eating was off, my exercise was off....I generally felt like it was a throwaway week....but... PW: 140.4 CW 139.4 (-1.0) I can't really do my MFP vs Garmin comparison…

Sorry I'm late! I didn't have a chance to get my weight in yesterday. I'm trying to skim everyones posts but I think I'm going to end up sort of quiet this week. It's a busy week for me - I'm going to have a health fair display at the local college all day tomorrow and I'm teaching the Servsafe food handler program…

Here's my numbers and the crunching: MFP Calorie Goal: 13,673 (I adjusted my AF to sedentary since I have a desk job, it was overestimating before since I had it set to active for my ADL plus my workouts for the week) MFP Calorie Intake: 12,181 MFP Prediction: -1,492kcal (-.5lb) Garmin Calorie Burn: 15,006 Garmin Calorie…

@conleywoods The info you're learning about is absolutely fascinating! Does your program have any reference materials? I'd loooooove to scratch my research itch on those topics like protein pacing! If you can, link me to the research your coach uses to back everything up because Sports Nutrition is my side-interest…

@PlaneMonkey It's hilarous that hockey is pretty much the official religion of Canada! I noticed that you mentioned your Garmin - here's the link to my profile if you want another friend on there! @conleywoods It's June 10-12 in Choteau, MT. It's my first time teaching at a festival and I think a weekend away from home…

So let's crunch the numbers and see what has really happened here.... MFP Weekly Kcal Goal: 11,763 (this is with negative kcal adjustments) MFP Weekly Kcal Intake: 12,860 Conclusion: +1097 (+0.31#) Garmin Kcal Burned: 16,228 (Active + Resting) Calories Consumed: 12,860 Conclusion: -3368 ( -0.96#) PW: 142.2 CW: 141.4…

@ashleycarole86 Congrats on nailing your crow! It's so satisfying when you take flight :) I'll definitely be including that in my 'learn to fly' workshop for the yoga festival! Go for side crow next! @DD265 a more controlled handstand is definitely safer unless you're at a wall or have a strong wheel. My teacher would have…

So I decided to join 'real appeal' through my insurance. It's a year long weight loss program (broken into 2 6-month periods) with weekly live classes. I'm doing this partly to help keep me motived and partly to get ideas for leading weight management classes here at work (why reinvent the wheel, right?) I'll keep you guys…

Happy Monday Everyone! PW: 141.4 CW: 142.2 I decided to bite the bullet and join the newest Rez Meltdown that focuses on muscle gains. I got to use their fancy BIA scale and it says I should 'lose 14.1 lbs of fat and gain .7 lbs of muscle'. It was more than a little depressing (showing me at >30% BF) but it's definitely an…

Happy Monday! PW: 142.4 CW: 141.4 (-1#) Lack of prepping has been taking a toll on me so I'm trying to get everything together again. I love hearing about the gardens that are getting prepped! I'm going to live vicariously through you all since it's probably not in the cards for me this year (I've got too many other home…

Monday check-in This is laughable, but this is what my pattern is (You'll see I fluctuate between 137-142 pretty regularly) PW: 138 CW: 142.4 (although I'm wearing heavy clothes today, soooo maybe a little wiggle room is warranted here... :D ) No really, last week was a joke. I had an intern which meant I didn't really get…

Just a quick check in! PW: 138.8 CW: 138.0 (-0.8) The fact that I lost at all astounds me. Last week was a bit of a mess. Monday I nursed my fiance who cracked his head on a metal bar and gave himself a mild concussion...I had my appt on Tues, then Weds I had to leave work to take my guy to the ER after he developed a…

@lauren_989 I totally understand the snowball effect of food. I tell my patients that there are typically two types of people. Those who can have a just a nibble of a 'junk food' and be good and that keeps everything else within healthy bounds, or those of us who have that nibble and then another and then the justification…

Alrighty! First check in with the team....so here's how it's going so far... Weigh In Day: Mondays PW (Previous Weight): 140.6 CW (Current Weight): 138.8 (-1.8) Last Week Recap: After Monday, tracking and clean eating was good for the most part- there were definitely a few times where I had to tell my brain that I wasn't…

@jugar I feel you with the cheese bread. My former roommate knows that this is my crack. There would be times I'd buy a big thing of it, have a piece or two and put the rest away for with with a note stating 'please save me from myself' :D

I'm not able to read the article at the moment - but as a registered dietitian, I feel like I can give my 2-cents. We tend to be a very protein-centric society with lots of people feeling that the more protein the better. Unfortunately, sometimes research is taken out of context or only bits and pieces discussed on highly…

Hey! I also meant to ask - is anyone else here a Garmin user? If so, I'd love to connect :)

@ashleycarole86 Nice to meet a fellow Ashley :) And literally, the directions to my house involve "follow the sign that points to Canada" - I'm about 30 miles from the border, so we're definitely almost neighbors! @SatanLuciferJones Welcome! Can we call you Luci (I'm a big Supernatural fan)?

Hi Everyone! Thanks @jugar (it's heavily influenced by the band and the fact that I'm a cancer lol) So here's a little bit about me.... * I'm US based (Originally from Ohio, now in NW Montana just outside of Glacier National Park) * I'm a Registered Dietitian and Yoga Instructor :# * My first fitness loves were yoga and…

Hey there! The fact that you've been so consistent is wonderful! Once you start being a little more mindful, I'm sure you'll start seeing some progress. I'm a registered dietitian and would love to help be your accountability partner. Any questions you have, I'd be happy to help with. Feel free to send a friend request if…
