So, I want to lose 10 more pounds. I've been under my calorie goal (1540) almost every day and have walked either outside or on the treadmill every day during this challenge. This morning my weight was exactly the same as it was on day one. I know this challenge isn't necessarily about losing weight, and I admit that I…

@BonnieHosk85 I'm impressed that you're staying with this, tracking and keeping under on your calories while at the beach! I can certainly do so while at home doing the daily grind!

@BonnieHosk85 @AbandonedKSCharger I had a DVT in my left leg in 2013 and ALWAYS stop at rest stops to take a walk! So, not only is it good for weight loss, but it's good to keep the blood flowing!

@alexbuzzcut So glad that your friend doesn't have cancer! A trip well worth all those steps! :) I'm impressed by how well you know yourself and your limits when you're having a flare day.
