Great job on the run!! I know exactly how it feels.

Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories: :)

Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories: :) Hmm...my calories have been really low lately. I guess my eating routine truly has become an ingrained habit and now I have to figure out how to change my mind set to add more calories.

Things may have filled up by now but I can do the 20th.

Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories :) Yes to Winner's Circle 1/3 pass days used

I will take a random assignment. Thank you!

Exercise: :) It wasn't much...going to need to double down tomorrow Tracking: :) Calories: :) Day 2 of deficit to get rid of that Thanksgiving dinner. Sundays are my "official" weigh ins, so hopefully my weight will be settled back down by tomorrow.

Exercise: :) not at all motivated but got myself to the gym for 30 minutes on the elliptical and felt so much better after I did! Tracking: :) Calories: :) Back to weight loss calories for a bit after my Thanksgiving indulgences. It was tough to get back with the routine this morning as I knew it would be, but I did it.

Exercise. 😊 🏃‍♀️Got up at 7 and faced the 33 degree day with enthusiasm and knocked out a 4.7 mile turkey trot. I passed on the water station shots and post run beer lol Tracking: no way of doing so really and decided I had no interest in even trying. Although it is a pass I still give my usual 😃 because I made a decision…

Exercise 😊. Calories. 😊tracking. 😊

Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories: :)

Exercise: :) Busy day, just took a 2 mile walk Tracking: :) Calories: :) Well, I was supposed to be upping my calories into a maintenance level but when I entered my food into the tracker tonight it turned out to be a really low calorie day. :o

@Caroline_slowandsteady @MadisonMolly2017 @SummerSkier @LazyBlondeChef chef I agree with all of you, although it is not the route I took. I probably should have transitioned to maintenance 15 pounds or so ago, gotten myself on track, and then resumed weight loss down the road if I decided I wanted to. What kept me going?…

@BMcC9 I have been using Spotify to listen to podcasts. I wasn't aware of the iphone app, so I will look for it @Caroline_slowandsteady. Thanks!

Anyone want to guess the calories? I ended up going with about 1000. It is New York Maple Glazed Salmon: Spice Rubbed Atlantic Salmon, Potato, Corn and Arugula Hash, Lemon. Could be 1500 for all I know, but it seemed reasonable????

@victorious55 I will give that video a try. I am not much of a stretcher but I have been trying to add some. Exercise: :) Surprisingly nice weather so I got out for a 4 mile run. Tracking: :) I went out to dinner tonight and although I threw some numbers into the tracker it could be off by 500 calories either way. I will…

Thanks for the idea--I do walk as well as run. Wow, that would take a lot of concentration-I might end up getting thrown!

pretty sure we were both joking since we are still here!

lol @caroline_slowandsteady Well at least they are thought provoking and highly entertaining which has been helping me plug along on the treadmill. The sun is out in Central NY so I am about to hit the road for a run and I am actually looking forward to selecting one of the podcasts!

Exercise: :) I found a podcast that makes the treadmill tolerable! I had always listened to music and glanced at the tv subtitles, but found that the podcast requires a lot more active concentration and makes the time pass more quickly! Also, throwing my coat over the treadmill display so I don't endlessly watch the…

@WhatMeRunning Opine away! That is what we are all really doing, along with offering anecdotal advice. I just feel we need to be cautious. Those of us of a certain age can point to dozens of nutritional "facts" touted as the gospel that ended up debunked. It is incredible if you stop to think about it. Of course I think a…

@enlightenme3 No idea why there is STILL no LOL reaction for posts!

Exercise: :) Sure was hard to get motivated though Tracking: :) Calories: :) Hungry again today and glad to have the extra 100 buffer I added yesterday. I haven't used it yet, but I might!

LOL, I am not one of those people, but I have always been absolutely fascinated by those who are. My mother in law enjoyed Butterfinger candy bars. She would buy one and it would last for days. I couldn't wrap my head around it--it was so foreign to me. I had legit never seen a single serve candy bar wrapped up and set…

Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories: :) This challenge probably saved me with the calories today! I was SO hungry all day--one of the worst days I can remember. I know it is no big deal for me to eat more at this point, but I thought about it and decided that if I say I am going to stay under X calories, that is what I need…

All of the talk of protein and muscle has me so confused. How would I even know if I was losing muscle? Gaining muscle? How much muscle do I need? Isn't it highly subjective? How would I know how much muscle I have, and if it is adequate or low? How much protein do I REALLY need? Go to 10 websites/calculators, get 10…

This is really what it all boils down to! I just hope I can do it. It seems that when you derail, something just snaps and everything falls apart. Maybe this time around I am more aware and better prepared to rebound than I have in the past.

I have to share this gem...last night one of my sons asked me to PLEASE tell him that I wasn't going to bring my food scale when we go to Thanksgiving dinner. He also suggested that I not randomly plank. Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories: :)

Hey, bikini goals, you go girl!! That is phenomenal that you feel your goal is attainable. Congrats! Exposed skin is never in the cards for me, but I am coming to to grips with that--just find the right clothes and no one will suspect what lurks beneath, lol.

Exercise: :) Tracking: :) Calories: :) I have gradually transitioned to weighing more and more items, rather than just measuring them or using the generic size equivalent with fruit. One thing that I eat nearly every day, but had still been measuring, is oatmeal. Well, what an unpleasant surprise when I weighed it this…
