Yes X 3 No official exercise but a very active day so counting it

Yes x3 Running for exercise

First pass day today. I tracked and was easily under but I'm not feeling great so didn't do any exercise

Yes x3 Lots of walking most of it pushing a buggy with both a 3 month old and a 4 year old on.

Yes x3 although I dipped quite firmly into my exercise calories (running) to make it work. I find the tracking the hardest. It's a bit boring and my natural inclination is to just very loosely track. I think that's what makes it the most important. Whenever I've had a plateau it's been because I've stopped tracking as…

Yes x3 although not very healthy choices! Yoga for exercise. Anecdotally I have yoyo dieted for most of my life. I was obese since I was a child. Probably around 8. I used to try all sorts of diets. They never stuck for very long because I felt so rubbish about myself I'd self sabotage. About 10 years ago I got therapy and…

Yes x3 Did yoga for exercise

Yes x3. Exercise was a run. A very sweaty humid run. I weigh every morning and log on Libra. My phone had a cracked screen and it was getting repaired for a couple of weeks so I had a temporary phone and I was so annoyed that I couldn't track and see my trend. I've now got to spend a few days tracking for it to get back…

Yes x3 Strength training for exercise Today was a betroot orzo for lunch and beans on toast for tea because my 4 year old has just started school so this week he gets to pick tea. I discovered a great series of cookbooks "the roasting tin" series. You can Google and find recipes if you're interested in trying any. The…

Yes x3 Lots of walking

Yes X 3 Running for exercise.

Yes x3 Strength training today. It was really nice to pick up heavy things and put them down again. For me exercise is key. I have never successfully lost weight over the long term without exercise. When I only concentrate on calories I tend to not make the healthiest choices. When I'm exercising too it feels like it's all…

Yes X 3 Running for exercise. I think a bit like @biketheworld I used to kind of hate tracking. Now I see it as a necessary boring mundane task. Using the recipes on the app for things I regularly cook has been great. I'll probably have to track forever. I regain if I stop

@bradkcrew yeah sometimes progress looks a bit mad from the outside. Go you prioritising yourself.

Yes x3. Really glad this exists. I was planning on a run followed by some strength training today but my husband had a migraine so couldn't look after the baby. I was so tempted to sack the whole thing off but instead I did a Jillian Michaels workout so I could watch the baby. I think it was the motivation to have a good…

Yes x3 Exercise was a jillian michaels body revolution. I really like jillian for short workouts to squeeze into a day. They switch up enough that I don't get bored.

Yes x3 Running for exercise. I'm happy that I'm now back into "proper" runs (25 minutes today) . I feel less sad about my lost fitness. My extra goals this month 1) I want to start incorporating strength training back into my routine. It'll be tricky with a breastfeeding baby so I'm only aiming for 2x a week so I can…

@Mrs_Hoffer I believe I'm in the champion list but no winners circle (until next month maybe). Thank you so much for everything you do for the group. Its an incredible resource. Yes x3 today. Finished with some yoga. This is my first full calender month counting calories after having a baby and I feel really happy with my…

@lesdarts180 that sounds like such a lovely day. Yes x3. Hard day as I went to a bbq. Put everything in my diary before picking up and stayed on course. Went for a run when I got home too.

@Mrs_Hoffer thank you. I did have a brief second where I thought it would be easier to just slink away rather than admit to using up lots of pass days. But accountability doesn't really mean anything if you only do it when it's easy. I really appreciate this group.

Yes x 3.long walk along a canal for exercise. No winners circle this month. I've kept checking in though so counting that as a win.

Pass day 6 :open_mouth: I went to a friend's wedding. Started the day off with the best of intentions. Tracked and went for a run before the festivities started. Stopped tracking though and didn't keep track of what I was eating as I didn't really want to have my phone with me during the event. Oh well. September is a new…

Yes x3. Not officially doing exercise but we're away at a wedding this weekend and I was running round packing and sorting out the house before leaving so I'll count it.

Yes x3 Running for exercise. Life hack was when I started eating healthier I just added at least one extra vegetable to recipes. It was like a fun challenge. I easily get my 5 a day now and most days I'm on about 10 portions. Spinach works really well in most things. Broccoli and cauliflower are also pretty versatile.

Yes x3 Swimming for exercise. Fittingly for the theme today it was in an outdoor pool with loads of butterflies flying around. Very idyllic

Yes x3 Running and swimming for exercise. No pictures to share but it's lovely seeing everyone's

Pass day 5 (eek) Tracked and under but didn't have time for exercise as I'm visiting family so driving followed by a lot of sitting. My baby is going through a growth spurt too so a bit trapped by breastfeeding.

Yes x3 Gardening at my allotment for exercise today. Very enjoyable couple of hours spent in the sun.

Yes x3 Exercise was running

Pass day 4. I tracked and was active but my husband turned up with a bottle of red wine after I'd used up my calories. I'll still stay on here and try not to have any more pass days but no winners circle for me this month.
