Weekly weigh in (CycleMomof3), Friday, 08.06.21: PW: 203.7 CW: 200.6 Not too shabby for vacation week. :smiley:

Daily check-in for Thursday, 08.05.21: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: Yes. Vacation "exercise" is super fun. I forgot how fun swimming laps can be. It raises the heartrate and works the muscles, but it never really feels like exercise.

Daily check-in. 08.04.21 Track: yes Under: yes, but just barely Exercise: nothing formal, but lots of moving and walking at the aquarium and on the surrounding nature trails. Today was rough. My in laws let us know yesterday that we were going out to dinner toight, so I was able to plan for it a bit. I had my daily protein…

Daily check-in, Tuesday 08.03.21: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: No I sat and watched my family eat proper crispy southern fried chicken and french fries and hush puppies while on our vacation. It. Was. Torture.

Daily check-in (Monday, 08.02.21): Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: Yes. Not a bad vacation day. :smiley:

Daily check-in for Sunday, 08.01.21: On vacation all week. Tracked: Yes Under: Yes, a bit too under, if I'm too be honest. I need to remember to eat while on vacation. I plan my days, but invariably get busy and skip a lot. Exercise: Yes, spent the day at the beach with the family, so plenty of time walking and playing in…

Daily check-in 07.30.21 Tracked: Yes Under: yes Exercise: nope. In a car all day.

Just submitting my official (Friday 07.30.21) starting weight for August: 203.7 this morning (down 1.8 from 205.5 last Friday (07.23.21), but that was before I joined the challenge!). I'm packing up my family this morning for a 10 day vacation. I'll have access to MFP minimally, just to check in daily with the groups and…

Username: CycleMomof3 Week 4 weigh-in (Friday): PW: 205.5 CW: 203.7 That's it! Hitting the road as soon as I get my lazy spousal unit out of bed!

Posting 07.29.21 daily update since it's more or less in the bag and I won't be readily available tomorrow (travel day): Tracked: Yes, like it's a darn religion. Under: Yes. Actually, too busy to eat, which isn't great either. Exercise: Lots of running here and there. Nothing formal, but a ton of movement. Suitcases,…

Hello all! Thanks for accepting me onto your team. I'm Traci. 48yo mom of 3 young'uns (8yo daughter, 8yo son, and 5yo daughter). Yes, twins. I'm deep in the thick of it over here, obviously. I'm a former college professor, now a SAHM. My top weight was 332 back in 2011. I lost it all over about 1.5 years, down to about…

Wednesday, 07.28.21 check-in: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: Yes. I took the kids to the zoo for a few hours (an hour plus of actual moving time, though). Tomorrow we pack. Vacation travel on Friday, then gone for 10 days. I'll still check in as I can, and will still report weigh-in on Friday. I'm pretty stressed out…

Tuesday, 07.37.21 check-in: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercised: Yes, nothing formal but I did a ton of heavy-duty housework to get ready to leave for vacation on Friday -- up and down stairs carrying laundry baskets, on the floor scrubbing floors, lifting huge bags of stuff to put in attic for storage.

Monday, 07.26.21 check-in: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: Yes, went for a (short) walk with the kids and played at the playground. SOOOOO hot and humid. This morning, I'm starting the packing for family vacation, but hope to go out for a walk this afternoon with the kiddos. Was hoping to go for a bike ride, but the…

Signed up. House Stark, yo.

Sunday, July 25 check-in: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: Yes, I took the kids out kayaking on one of the local lakes for about 2 hours this afternoon.

Daily check-in, Saturday, 07.24.21: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: Yes, 2.5hours/6.31 miles of upstream/downstream kayaking. My arms are feeling it this morning, but in a good, getting-stronger kind of way that I appreciate. Today, I'm taking the kids canoeing at one of the local lakes. Until they're stronger swimmers…

@annabananamc and @DaffyGirl88 All of this. I'm 5'4" and 48yo. Pretty active, between running around with my kids, biking 3-5x/week for 10-20 mile rides each, and kayaking extensively on the weekends. I paddled upstream and downstream (6.5 miles) for 2.5 hours this morning and netted a whopping 486 calories. 💪🚣🌳🗻🙂 I have a…

Thursday, 07.22.21 check-in: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: Yes, just lots of errands. Swam with the kids and shot some hoops with them. Tomorrow is weigh-in, and it's a crap shoot. I weigh daily and enter into a personal excel sheet, even though only my Friday weigh-ins get entered into MFP. It helps me see the big…

I had some ripening bananas and I don't like to bake in the summer. So I tried making some chocolate n'ice cream for the kids for dessert tonight, and it was surprisingly tasty. Really tasty, and even kid-approved! Just 4 ingredients: unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, ripe bananas, and dark cocoa powder. Worth a…

@annabananamc Niiiiice re: reducing your carbon footprint and doing small commutes with your sweet-@$$ed cruiser! :) I'm a member of an organization up here that is an advocacy group for making our area more bike-friendly and pushes folks to commute via bike more when they can. :heart: Also, while I hit "hug" on your post…

@DaffyGirl88 It must have been! They asked if we could go back to the same part of the trail today after my littlest gets home from kindergarten camp! Fo' sho'!

Wednesday, 07.21.21 check-in: Tracked: Yes Under: Yes Exercise: Yes, I took the kids for a 2 mile hike along the D&L Canal path.

I'm a mom of 3 kiddos (8yo, 8yo, and 5yo). Lost weight before the twins and got to goal weight. Gained a tiny bit with twins, lost it all almost immediately. Gained a ton with the littlest one and afterwards, and just never really lost it again, so trying to get back to that goal weight again.
