Missed my April goal by 0.1 km. Meh, I think I'll round up and consider it good! :wink:

What an intriguing concept! And an awesome race to participate in - well done!

Thanks for bumping this. So true - when I started weighing my food rather than eyeballing, I realized just how much I was overeating.

Newbie here. I'd like to join for the arms and squat challenges.

Was able to comfortably wear a favourite pair of grey jeans this morning. Last wore them over 2 years ago and even then they were snug and created a muffin top. This morning, no muffin top (well, a slight one but that has nothing to do with the jeans :wink: ) and the jeans feel good! This was so motivating as the scale…

Running, cycling, hiking, swimming, kayaking, golf. Snowshoeing in the winter. Obviously, outdoor activities preferred :smiley:

Primarily vanity - I want to look better in my clothes & actually enjoy shopping for clothes. Secondary is health. Always was active & fairly healthy but as I get older, I want to hang on to all of that.

Given up mindless eating/drinking. Previously, I would eat and drink way too much just out of habit. Late night snacks, 1 or 2 or 3 glasses of wine, second helpings, etc. Now I am learning to pay attention to what I am eating but also to pay attention to whether I really am hungry or just eating out of habit. Hoping that…

I go to second hand/thrift shops as well for tops and shorts/pants/skorts. I find that you can often get brand new with tags or barely used clothing if you check regularly (which I do).

Love Superstore's Yukon Gold potato bread! Unfortunately they don't have it all the time - hit & miss!

Does he know this: " I was back in high-school. Not any more to be honest"? If no, then he may have a misconception of your level of fitness. Can't imagine how that will go well........ If yes, then that is strange/weird. Doesn't seem that this would be a good idea in either scenario, given the (apparent) different…

Yes, typically workout clothing or gear. Never food-related.

If I feel hungry, I will have something to eat. If I don't, then I don't bother. Through this journey, I am getting better at listening to my body and learning to distinguish between hunger and habit. Also kind of depends on how 'late' it is.

I definitely invest :smiley: in my workout clothes, particularly shoes, sports bras, socks and bathing suits. Involved in a variety of sports/activities, so have clothes specific to each sport and a range of weather conditions. Having said that, the gear has been accumulated over years and lasts forever. Only exceptions to…

Actually hit a 100 day streak on MFP today. This is huge for me - with previous halfhearted times, I don't think I lasted beyond 30 days. Committed this time in spite of being stuck in the same 2-3 lb range for the last month.

Got in three short runs this week, so fairly confident about reaching my monthly target.

Out running today and I was running faster than the paving roller (not sure what it is called but used in construction to pack/roll asphalt) was moving down the street!!!!! Put the jets on a bit to move faster & exchanged knowing looks with the driver as I left him in my dust! You know, one of those moments when you get…

How, if I can stop focussing on food, this process gets easier.

@MonkeyMel21 Curious about why your eye doctor didn't like that combination?
