MUAC for 4/9/21: Tracked: yes Under: no (had friends over, drinks & tacos sent me over) Exercised: yes - lots of cleaning and 2 miles walk with pup Awesome job @cmhubbard92 on meeting your goals all week, @erikNJ on his incredible 4.4 pound loss (way to start your vacation!), @mooreshelly09 on running for 30 minutes…

MUAC for 4/8: Tracked: yes Under: yes Exercised: yes - 3 miles with the pup

@rawrxamberx - I know you can get back on track today! I agree with others that it is a very good step that you are already tracking every day. For me, it helps when I can eat the same meals almost every day, which just makes it easier. @maryc11 - just a temporary gain, your hard work will pay off! Great work to…

MUAC for 4/7: Tracked: yes Under: no Exercised: yes - 30 minutes walking with husband and pup Big mistake - I had two Carb Smart vanilla bars last night. Not only did it send me over calories, I think it also made me unable to go to sleep!

Outstanding loss! Congrats!

I completely understand this - eating too much because not logging in! Can relate.

Have a wonderful time!! That's great that you get away from your phones.

LOL on the 12 cups of water and the evening trip to the bathroom! Great day accomplishing your goals.

That's so cool you can hike on iFit throughout the world!

Hi, I'm Sandra, 55, from Richmond, Virginia. My husband and I are empty nesters, with two grown daughters. I try to walk/run about 3 miles every day with our border collie puppy. It's been wonderful lately with the spring weather. My goals for this month are to exercise 6-7 days a week, eat 1250-1350 calories 5-6 days a…

Happy Easter!

MUAC for 4/3: Tracked: yes Under: no Exercised: yes - 30 minutes walking with husband and pup I made the mistake of letting my evening tracking go until this morning- only to discover I was over by 150 calories. Had I kept a closer eye I might have been able to stem it better. @JMTiv1979 & @HASWLRS - I am also excited for…

@prehistoricmoongoddess - Wow, what a difference! I am glad you wore the same shirt as that is a good comparable. My weight is also around my middle. I also have a photo taken with a friend that was my motivation to lose weight as well. I will have to do an "after" photo as well and post it. Though I think I got rid of the…

@HASWLRS - You are amazing reading those 19 pages of posts! I am sorry for all of the difficulty you are having with your knee, and the hassle of the other tests. We are very happy your are back!

@thedestar - I do struggle as well. You are right about the protein, though. That is the only thing that has worked for me, to keep me full. It's important to have protein at every meal, to keep the level consistent, 20%-up. I aim for 25%. The days when I go over are the days when I do not eat enough protein. Maybe people…

MUAC for 3/24: Tracked: yes Under: no - it was pretty bad. Exercised: yes - 20 minute walk with pup I am going through a stressful situation with one of my daughters and had a lot of bad foods and wine yesterday. Today, I will control what I can - the food and exercise.

You can do it! Just keep with your usual dedication and one day it will shift. You're below that wretched 142 mark now (with which I am so familiar) - keep it up!
