MUAC Post Daily Post: Thursday (6/9) Track: Yes Calories: Yes - under Exercise: Yes (Dances with kids for 1hr. + 1.5hr. moderate rowing) Goals/Day/Comments: Morning review. Slept better but still not great. Put in some extra effort to try and work off yesterday’s choices and feel good about what I was able to achieve. 💧164…

@carenwilson1983 every time I see your updates it makes my stomach growl but maybe those Atkins shakes pack more of a punch than I realize. How do you find the energy? Also I’m curious because I bore quickly with simple meals, how do you stay motivated with that diet?

@IsMollyReallyHungry yep I’m new, thanks for the welcome.

@beckadel99 look at you go! Awesome @amykathleen2005 that’s some will power. Great job.

@bpmillen speaking of motivation, you’re crushing it! Phenomenal progress! Keep it up.

@DaffyGirl88 I would love to but by the looks of the landscape you don’t live anywhere near me (Colorado, US) Tried to add a pic of recent trip to Lake Powell (late March) but MFP upload keeps failing.

@KimR_1986 Way to go!!!!!! This is so awesome to see. Congratulations. Keep doing what you’re doing.

@KayHBE My heart is so happy to see you & your SO are taking this journey TOGETHER. Totally a difficult topic maybe the right amount of patience, empathy & encouragement. Perhaps you won’t even need to discuss, maybe he made the same observation and has already decided 🤷‍♀️

@emmaeatsbetter welcome! Not sure where the others went but happy to see someone else on here. Been starting to feel like this accountability thread is simply a diary entry to myself but I keep coming back and hoping to see the guys check in. Happy to be here for you anytime.

@_JeffreyD_ Hang in there. The temptation is hard at times. You deserve to treat yourself at times, it’s letting it become a regular habit where that turns into punishment. Consistency is key & your history shows that you can do this. Keep on keeping on.

Awe thanks @starrjulia8. I totally hear ya’ that dang cortisol! I’m hear to listen if you ever need to unpack. Congrats on that +1 drop! Go you!

Thanks for sharing, what a beautiful story. I have 3 kids and for me the post pregnancy weight was the easiest to shed every time. All I had to do was walk a couple miles a day & nurse but everybody’s body is different. I’m at the biggest hill I’ve ever had to climb (metaphorically) but I’m determined. The hardest part for…

I’m happy to hear the new job will have great health coverage. Hopefully your schedule frees up some too. Every little bit helps. I recently had to change therapists too so I get how that goes but I’m starting to dig the new one. CBT was a big help for me & I’ve gotten pretty good at managing my episodes/flashbacks during…

6/06 - 171.5 (+.1), Sore but motivated.

6/8 - 👀 Still thinking about you friends (@ajviray, @Chak_Chandra). Where my boys at? Report on yesterday: 🥗over, 💪 cross country hike & 50 min. moderate rowing💧170 oz.

Took a nice afternoon hike with the kids and had hoped to call my exercise.…

Not yet @avatiach, trying to collect a decent amount of data and then I intend on it. I’ve never had a smart band before so seeing the results was the eye opener I needed.

Hang in there @LMK02020, you’ve got this. The rain has been messing with me bunches here too and it has me thinking. How can we support eachother when the weather interferes with our plan?

@goodhealthbestlife Thank you so much. It’s nice to know that others in this group can relate. @Lisamurfin welcome. And can I just say way to go!!!! Look at you knocking it out of the park already. You are already serving up inspiration. Happy Birthday.

Thanks @CamandJarvis! Sometimes you just gotta vent. You are a sweetheart & I value your words of encouragement. Congratulations on knocking all of the job stuff off your list before vacay.

Stick with it @Mrscanmore and don’t get discouraged. Accountability is key & you’ve got this! I’m freshly back on the wagon but I know at times your gut can play tricks on you & it may need to readjust. Water, water, water and small yet mighty snacks. Maybe re-check your BMR & adjust your input/goal (if necessary) to…

Awe thanks @musicsax. I live in the US and while our society becomes more accepting and open to mental health I have to say we still have a long ways to go. I am part of a support group but at times I feel it does more to trigger me than help. I appreciate the understanding, just needed to vent a little.

@DaffyGirl88 - They have a group forum on the new interface. Hoping you shared your comment there. My Apple steps & active workouts didn’t import correctly either. I noticed other people sharing similar info good for them to know what bugs need fixin’. P.S. Go you!

@quiltingjaine sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Stay strong, we need you.

@eaper64 - I’m proud of you kicking that habit. Keep up the good work, you’ve got this!

6/7 - Hey guys @ajviray & @Chak_Chandra checking in…. Both of you are awfully silent all of the sudden so I hope all is well. Report on yesterday: 🥗Under, 💪 30 min. Light rowing + 30 min. Light strength training + 30 min. Hatha yoga,💧144oz. (over), ⛑ +15 (158) - working towards, 👟 6,269 - under. Had a terrible nights rest…

I was excited to see the new layout & am loving it. My Apple health data like steps & active exercise isn’t importing correctly now though (was before)….. also have seen app slow down at times and crashed once.

Appreciate the welcome. Like I mentioned I’ve never owned a fitness band before so I’m learning. When I had it on for half of day one my PAI report predicted my age at 17 years beyond and as out of shape as I am and sedentary I was I figure it was probably accurate. As I did my first workout I saw it calculate & slightly…
