Round 99 (my 31st) OSW 382.0 RSW 266.2 My goal this round is not to bounce up too much from all the holiday food. I’m continuing my diet break until the 1st. 12/19 263.2 No idea where this came from. I’m thinking that as tom has left so has some water weight. I’m sure I’ll bounce all over this round. 12/20 12/21 12/22…

Round 98 (my 30th) OSW 382.0 RSW 265.2 12/09 266.8 I was very hungry yesterday and even got a little lightheaded. I ended up going out for a high calorie dinner, but I felt much better afterwards. I think I didn’t eat enough on a couple of my high activity days. 12/10 265.4 And back down. I had another hungry day, not as…

My steps are going to be horrible until I finish fighting off yet another chest cold. Hopefully I'll kick this one as quickly as I did the last one.

Pass day, just assume that will be the case as I'm taking a diet break and not tracking for the time being. My nsv, I hit 15k in steps within the last month and I was very proud of myself. I'm also in smaller pants so I'm doing pretty good over here.

Okay team I dropped the ball this week and I'm sorry about that. This week I'll be tossing out tips and tricks for maintaning during the holidays, or really whenever you feel the need. This past week, and until the end of the month I am taking what is normally known as a diet break. I've done this in the past with great…

@Tami_H Happy birthday!

@NovusDies and @mmapags Fair enough points and I understand why the two you don't prefer or wish to use the term. For me it's about the mental and about a slow overhaul of my entire life. I may one day feel the same as either of you, but I wanted to explain why I use the term. Find me odd, but so far it's working well and…

Little steps are perfect! Many of the people that started when I did are long gone, the few who remain all have one thing in common, they made small sustainable changes. The ones who are gone tried to make all the changes at once. You are the only one who knows how quickly or slowly you can make what changes, but trust me…

I agree with so much of what you said in your original post. However, your sentiment of sustainability is the reason I call it a lifestyle over a diet. I view a diet as something that I will do for a short time and maybe lose a little something before returning to all the habits that led me to gain in the first place. I'm…

Pass day 3 of 3, my mind is just not in the game this month. As for walking it's what I've been working on the most. From 500 steps when I first started MFP to it not being uncommon for me to walk 11k+ and my highest was a 15k day recently.
