But it is always nice to see quick progress in the first week or so of being back to CICO. Had my restaurant leftovers from Monday for lunch last…

7/10 - 128.5 7/11 - 127.6 7/12 - 127.6 7/13 - 127.0 7/14 - 127.0 Took a 4 mile walk yesterday, which ended up taking us past an ice cream place that we've never tried. We've lived here for 4 years (and have been hiking past it for years before that), but somehow have never stopped at this place. The only dairy free option…

7/10 - 128.5 7/11 - 127.6 (-0.9) 7/12 - 127.6 - Had a good day. Stayed away from over-snacking, which is one of my downfalls. Short evening walk around our neighborhood. 7/13 - 127.0 (-0.6) 7/14 - 7/15 - 7/16 - 7/17 - 7/18 - 7/19 -

7/10 - 128.5 - 7/11 - 127.6 (-0.9) Another good day. Went out in the afternoon (probably not the smartest choice, since it was close to 90 degrees…) to run/walk in a park while my husband played disc golf. Ran 1 slow mile, uphill for the first half, then switched to a walk for the next three miles. I did a good job staying…

@iLive2Walk - A new trail every week is ambitious! I'm going to have to think about trying that. Thanks for the idea! Your pictures are beautiful!

Good morning everyone! 7/10 - 128.5 - AM hike and picnic lunch (packed myself salmon salad with wheat thins, peppers, plum, and a cutie). Thai takeout for dinner, but split the portion with my husband. My FIL brought us croissants, which I LOVE, but could be a major temptation. I had one as a snack, which fit into my…

Hi everyone! I've been away from MFP for a while, but back for now at least! I come and go a lot - I'll log in faithfully for a few months, and then I get lazy about logging in and spend a few months away… So I'm back once again! I'm not far from where I would like to maintain, so that's good. I have a wedding coming up in…

Missed a few days. Busy and stressful, but have been doing relatively well with keeping up exercise and not going totally overboard with food. Day 12: +1.0 (-0.7 overall) Day 13: -0.6 (-1.3 overall) Day 14: +0.7 (-0.6 overall) Day 15: -0.5 (-1.1 overall) Up down, up down, up down. Seems like all I'm doing lately. But at…

All of the talk of renovations and windows/doors is making me realize that I really need to get on mine. We started researching companies for windows and doors in the fall, but haven't started it yet. So that meant that when we had a cold snap a few weeks ago and spend 4 days in the negatives, we had sheets and blankets…

Day 1: benchmark no loss Day 2: -0.4 Day 3: +0.4 from yesterday (0 loss overall) Day 4: +0.3 from yesterday (+0.3 overall) Going the wrong direction, but I'm confident that it will turn around. This is still within my normal daily fluctuation range, so I'm not worries (yet!l

Day 1: benchmark no loss Day 2: -0.4 Day 3: +0.4 from yesterday (0 loss overall) So I'm back to where I started hahaha. I expect a nice dip sometime this weekend (hopefully!) because my diet has been very sodium-heavy for two days. Our usual chick fil a date on Tuesday and then yesterday I wasn't feeling great (time of the…

Weigh in updates for today: back down to 3.1 lb total loss. That's where I was in mid january, and I've been looking and gaining the same 2 lb over and over since then. I really have not been on track wIth eating, so it's time to get back to it and start really losing again.

@sandpiper2014 I hope you are feeling better from your cold soon! @abp1025 I think I've accidentally started intermittent fasting as well. I have been focusing on better sleep, so I've been trying to cut out any eating after 7 pm. Since I don't eat breakfast, that puts me at pretty much an 8 hour eating window. Not eating…

So far so good, even though sometimes Wednesdays are heavier days due to salt in my Tuesday chick fil a dinner (Tuesday we both work late and have evening activities so my husband gets us dinner in between). I am going to try to update my body measurements today so that I have ac urate data on that changing as well…

Hi everyone! I hope you're all well! Last week was very stressful at work and home, so I didn't check in here at all or track calories very accurately. Overall weight has been fluctuating a little bit but overall staying 2-2.5 lb down since start of January. Now that last week is over and I'm feeling a bit less stressed,…

Hello everyone! I've often seen this challenge, but never wanted to join unless I could start on day 1. So now I am here in time to start this round! I have a little to lose still,, but mostly working on keeping up good habits and body recomposition at this point. I prefer not to disclose exact weight, but rather my +/-…

Hi everyone! I missed posting on Wednesday (although I did weigh myself). Weight was down almost 3 lb overall last week, but now it's up again (still down 1.5 from where I started). Kind of frustrated, but I'm going to blame the extreme cold that we've been experiencing. We've been in the mid 20s temperature range for most…

@supersparklyk As a science teacher, I LOVE your glacier comparison! I feel like I need to steal that for my classroom when the kids are feeling discouraged by slow progress! @MaryM6316 I agree with how encouraging it is to be part of a community to share this with! My husband is super encouraging, but he just doesn't get…

@Rainbow2300 Yes! I turned most of my grass in the side and back yard into wildflower meadows, and they are messy but beautiful. I also try to grow lots of vegetables, and sometimes the groundhogs let me eat the veggies too. It's a constant battle against the wildlife here, even with a fence. But it is a lot of fun to…

@Rainbow2300 I was having the same thoughts of spring today at Walmart. They have their seeds and gardening stuff out already! It's also freezing here. We're supposed to get into the mid 30s this weekend, and that seems warm and cozy compared to the past few weeks in the teens and 20s.

Good morning everyone! Weight-in Wednesday had good results this week! Down 2.9 lb overall. It's been fluctuating a ton all week, but this is the lowest it's been since I re-started on MFP. Scale sensors say that I'm down 0.2% fat and up 0.2% muscle over the 2 weeks of January. I'm sure the sensors aren't totally accurate…
