  • @lindamtuck2018 I am going to focus on taking regularly scheduled rest days as well - I was really dragging on the elliptical yesterday - so I'm taking a rest today
  • Happy Thursday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in: 3/23: Calories: 1,161 Exercise: 70 minutes elliptical Steps: 13,721 I've had four days of pretty intense exercise - I'm feeling it today - will likely take a rest day or do something fairly easy. @tahm42 MANATEES!! I love them so much!! I can't believe you were able to see…
  • @lindamtuck2018 The 5-pound range sounds great to me - thanks! I still need to check out the maintenance chat - honestly, I thought it would take another week or two for me to get to goal - I was surprised this morning when I stepped on the scale!
  • @rwood566 Thank you so much - you are such an inspiration to all of us!!
  • @lindamtuck2018 During my weight loss phase, I tried to take 2 rest days per week - sometimes I took more - sometimes I took 1 - it just depended on how my body was feeling. Now, I will try to workout 4-5 times per week and take 2-3 rest days.
  • @lindamtuck2018 Thank you SO MUCH! What would I do without your constant encouragement??? Yes - please move me to maintenance. I need to make a trip to see my doctor to figure out next steps. Usually, at this weight, I have a trimmer belly - so we might decide that it's a good idea for me to lose a little more before I…
  • Happy Wednesday, Downsizers! I reached goal today! SW: 250 PW: 152.6 CW: 149.9 (-2.7) I can't believe it! I'm so happy! Now the really tough phase begins: figuring out where my weight will settle and working to keep it there every day! Thanks so much for all of your support - I couldn't have done it without you! 3/22:…

  • Happy Tuesday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in: 3/21: Calories: 1,183 Exercise: 75 minutes elliptical Steps: 18,257 My body is starting to get used to Daylight Savings Time - but it takes me forever - at least my exercise sessions are back. @rwood566 and @Beautyofdreams I think I will be joining you both for surgery once I…

  • Happy Thursday, Downsizers! Today is another crazy day for me - and I have to drive up to DC for a funeral - but I'm planning to stay on plan with my calories. Daylight Savings has been really tough on my routine. It takes my body weeks to adjust and I keep oversleeping. Between that and my work schedule, I'm having…

  • Happy Sunday, Downsizers! I'm really loving this week's challenge - and one of the letters in my name requires bicep curls - so I will automatically meet my "armed and dangerous" arm exercise goal for the week! Here's my check-in: 3/12: Calories: 1,155 Exercise: 70 minutes elliptical Steps: 11,801 @Megan_smartiepants1970…
  • New Challenge! Hi Everyone! Great job with this week's challenge - traveling around the word was very fun! Beginning tomorrow, we will have a new challenge: it's "armed and dangerous" week! We are going to ask everyone to do some sort of arm exercise each day and report back to let us know which ones you are doing. I…
  • Happy Saturday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in: 3/11: Calories: 1,095 Exercise: 70 minutes elliptical Steps: 15,110 I ran out of fruit so I didn't get as many calories as I should have - but today is my shopping day and I will make sure I purchase extra for this week. I have been sweet-free for almost two weeks and it…
  • @Beautyofdreams Well said! Thank you!! @rwood566 For me, I would use 3.0 because I like to be conservative - especially if you are going to be eating your exercise calories
