Welcome to our new members! 👋 How’s everyone’s week going!? So far so good here. We picked up fast food last that was super yummy (we were just coming out of the gym so we were Hungry!), but I spent a bit more of my weekly calorie allowance than I would have liked on a Monday. It’s a beautiful day here in Colorado so I’ll…

Hey, everyone! Congrats on all of the losses! I stayed home today while the fam went off skiing. I’m NOT a great skier, and my to do list is calling my name. Need to get some things crossed off before Monday starts. I discovered that my Apple Watch/health app basically calculates your TDEE for you! Not sure how I hadn’t…

@majork29 Congratulations on the promotion! Nicely done! You must have scare them with your holiday and got them thinking that they really can’t do without you! 😂 @BodyTalking Nice workout! I still need to go downstairs and do mine. Never feel embarrassed by the people at the gym. They were all beginners once too, You may…

I did a Couch to 5k program about a decade ago and couldn’t believe that it actually worked. I found it helped to have a great playlist. @CassieGetsFit2013 Congrats on your big loss this week!…

Just back from my derby practice weekend with the girl. Managed to get to the hotel gym to get a bunch of steps in on the treadmill. (And, remembered why I hadn’t bought one. Man I DO NOT like those things. Hate the feel of them, but it was nice to be warm.)

Anybody have big plans for the weekend? I have my rescheduled company Christmas party tonight with a buffet dinner. Tracking for that is going to be fun! Normally, I’d relax and enjoy, but I’m feeling frustrated that I can’t seem to accurately track an entire week’s worth of food. (I want data!! 🤓) I’ll be staying in a…

@Laurabb99 You actually did pretty well for not tracking and 3 birthdays… We have several remote workers in town this week at my office, so we’ve been celebrating birthdays with breakfasts and cupcakes. I’m doing pretty good, I think. I politely took a cupcake and casually walked it back to my desk (only to stick it in my…

@BodyTalking I noticed over the holidays that the minute I had one sugary thing, my body craved more and more. It was out of control. I had gone months without sugar previously!

Wow!! Look at us! There were some great losses out there this week! I went a bit crazy yesterday too. After being cooped up in the house too long with the negative degree temps, we met some friends for a buffet brunch with bottomless mimosas. After writing all the food down as best I could, I ended up around 3000 calories…

@andja87 Woah!! That’s awesome!!

@CassieGetsFit2013 I actually build days like that into my diet and call it calorie cycling. 😭 I do it specifically so my metabolism doesn’t get used to lower calories. The way I do it - I go completely off my diet every weekend. (That’s why my weigh-in day is Friday. 😉) It helps me be super good during the week, because I…

@ksludwig Nice loss you got there! 😉

That’s organized! The most I tend to manage is grilling a bunch of extra chicken on the weekends so I have some extras leftover. Sometimes I have canned beans on hand to mix it with. Most of the time, I throw some in a baggie on my way out the door and nibble on it dry at my desk. 😭

Congrats to our team winners!

Nice job on those losses everyone!

That’s probably it. My weight was all over the place the first month I started weight training. It’s a good thing I had started the challenge here and was training with a class at the gym, because it helped me stay consistent and not give up in frustration.

Weigh-in day: Friday PW 182.8 Jan 5: 184.5 GW (Jan): 178 Plan: Strength training, daily walk, Protein 100g+, Fiber 25g+ Age: 48 I’m just happy it’s not worse coming back from Christmas and vacation. I’m so happy to be back to a healthy diet. My stomach did NOT feel good by the end of it. Too much sugar and alcohol and not…

Hi all! My name is Syd - age 48 - perimenopausal… Husband, a son in college and a daughter who is a senior in high school. I live in Colorado - home to mountains and lots of fit people. I’m focusing on building muscle - mostly doing strength training and walking with very short amounts of cardio (HIIT and Spin) added in.…

If you could use my weight from last week as the starting weight, that would be great! I’m still on vacation and won’t be back until Wednesday. I’m normally a Friday weigher. I’ve been hitting the gym every couple of days in the various hotels to use their dumbbells. My steps are up with all the walking so hopefully that’s…

Hi all! Welcome to all the new people! I’m on vacation and have no idea what day it is! I’ve been trying to focus first on protein and fiber when I sit down for a meal or snack. I can tell I’m off the diet, though. I’ve had to break out the gas-x for stomach cramps. In the 3 months I’ve been on my diet, I’ve barely had to…
