He is showing great changes! He's about 10 lbs down, you can see it in his face, and his cholesterol and triglycerides are down too!

I've been here, following my plan for the most part. DH decided to go primal for some health reasons, so I'm trying to join him and be supportive of that. Work and life have been crazy busy, so I've just been doing the bare minimum with exercise and tracking. Hope everyone is well, and losing.

I definitely need it. Even though these posts haven't been updated I've gotten back in a rhythm, though not as many minutes as this summer, but I AM being consistent.

217 minutes for me, not too bad. Water good 5/7 days.

Emma, I apologize for not seeing last week's chat and stickying it! I swear I looked for it!

My head cold is telling me enthusiast is all I can muster this week.

Yes, Monday through Sun since that's how MFP adds up weeks. I hit 166 minutes, so I fell quite a bit short of my buff goal and will settle for enthusiast. I made water goal every day but Sat.

Thanks to a day off work I made my exercise goal. I think I made my water goals all but 2 days, I have a tough time on the weekends with so much running around. I'm going for buff again this week, who else is in?!?

The day off yesterday for MLK three me off a bit, but I'm back at it!

Last week I got 118 minutes of exercise. I'm going to try and get back to my previous levels and get to buff again.

I did about 100 min of exercise this week, but failed the water test two days :(

Ditto!

I"m another who wishes the scale were friendlier. I have a lot of outside stresses in my life that are making this more difficult at the moment, but I'm trying to keep plodding through. I couldn't exercise yesterday or today, so I need to hit the gym W-F if I want any chance of passing the challenge. Thank goodness for the…

I'm in, thanks Sandra!

Sandra...I think we did something similar before...reporting and goals tarted fresh either sun or mon.

If you look down in the posts there should be challenges from the summer. Basically we had three levels, with different minutes of exercise. At the beginning of the week, everyone participating would state their level to achieve, and whether they had any personal goals, and total consecutive days logging food. We also had…

Amanda - we used to have weekly exercise challenges - would you be interested in starting that back up? It was three tiers of minutes exercised, and people wrote their personal goals too. I took a long break from running since Sept and have only done a few fits and spurts here and there and it is definitely a struggle!…

Sandra! Of course you can stay! You are one of the most active members!

Paul - -have you done your big walk yet? Was it with your father, or am I remembering incorrectly? Good luck on the new challenge! I can't believe someone stole your bike, and 3 days before Christmas at that. :grumble: DH wants me to go to lunch with him, when I have a very healthy lunch here with me. Oh well, I'll try to…

I know, Oct-Dec were brutal for me! Today was an OK day, very stressful at work so while my eating wasn't too bad, I didn't get to go the gym as usual. My job keeps getting in the way of fitness!

so far, I've been eating all.the.things and it hasn't been working too well lol.

I'm still here...struggling with a bit of holiday and vacation gain...but trying to stay the course.

I did gain initially after our wedding, DH loves to snack at night! Got to the gym twice this week! :) That's a step in the right direction. I just found out I have to attend a meeting for work tomorrow about an hour today, so there goes my lunchtime gym routine. Maybe I can squeeze it in at 4pm before getting the kids.…

I'm baaacccckkkkkk! With Hurricane Sandy, we were 5 days without power, and then left for a vacation for Disney for a week. the power came back shortly after we flew out, and the house is ok except needing a new roof. We were very fortunate. However, the 'no power diet' (aka, no fresh, healthy foods, mostly shelf stable…

Paul! You're back! I was wondering what happened. Hope all is well. Well, hurricanes and power outages really blow a girl's diet. I've been surviving on Halloween candy and non-perishable food. Hope power is restored soon! It also broke my 265 day streak :(

Ugh, is anyone else having a hard time this week/month? I'm having a really hard time staying on track, and particularly finding time/motivation to exercise. Work has been beyond crazy. In addition, both my knees started feeling really strange yesterday, lots of pressure if I squat down. :(

Well...after holding a gain for over a week, this morning I'm finally seeing the scale come down. Unless I lose 4 lbs in 2 weeks (not gonna happen) I'm not making this month's goal but I'm dedicated to trying!

I should sign up for a 5k oct 28 to make me move! I found one for our local library.

Rough week here too. I'm actually up a bit for the first extended time since I've been here. Ugh. And I've mostly stopped exercising. I'm so annoyed at myself, but at the same time can't seem to find the time with work so busy. Binge week is over :laugh:
