I am having a pretty good week. I have been getting in my exercise and again upping my water intake. My youngest and I have been taking the cats out in the yard for a "walk" on leashes since they are indoor cats due to the coyote in the area. This is a lot of standing around, slow walking and a little pouncing but it is…

Couldn't read all the posts I missed but read the last 2 pages. @sandielewis2 Congrats on 50 lbs lost! @girlinkaz scale and NSVs yay! @CariTJR since I have missed some posts I am glad to hear you have found place to move to. Not surprised you are losing during this process. @tuddy315 I will have to get a new knee…

The point is not just lose…

I spent my time I usually checking on here and getting caught up with logging preparing for our small beach trip. Usually when I lose a bit I jump up before losing more but I have held steady and hope to lose more soon. We plan to go out to eat for the 1st time tonight with friends if it is warm enough we will try for…

@BethCW2963 you are doing well this month already. Great job with the NEAT goal. I think it is more important than we think. @Katebook309 I am sorry to hear about your Dad. It is hard but take care of yourself. I feel fortunate that I there are 3 of us to share helping our Mom. We have had to take over her finances. We are…

Well this week I did get on here to post during the work week a few times. I was doing well at the beginning of the week. However we celebrated a bit yesterday. I have completed my 6 month probationary period at my job and my boss was finally able to get to my personnel review. It was glowing. I am at the top of my pay…

@AlexandraFindsHerself losts of nice gems in your post on Tuesday. @topathemorning hope the traveling is going well @girlinkaz sorry you injured your knee. Glad you are able to swim instead. It is really food that is the major part of weight loss. Exercise is for health. Work on your relationship with food to lose. Work on…

It is the back of the face of the watch that was where I had my rash not the wrist band :(

Having a good week so far. Drinking more, eating breakfast later, exercised each day (only 2 days so far) so far. Calories lower so far. Today I walked farther but faster so it was only 5 minutes longer than yesterday. We made a lower fat, lower sugar expresso dark chocolate chip ice cream. It isn't perfected less but I…

@uyister My youngest’s birthday is at the end of May too and we will be also celebrating their getting their 2nd dose 2 weeks before. Have a great birthday month! @CariTJR Congratulations making it into Onderland! Hope you find a great new home. @AlexandraFindsHerself1971 Nice NSV. I feel happy whenever I hear someone got…

I have a Versa but can't wear it. I loved it. It started to give me a rash so now I am using a Zip for tracking steps :(

Happy Mother's day! I usual check-in on Saturdays but it was a busy day. I got an ice cream maker for Mother's day. I wanted one so I can make ice milk with less sugar and fat. To replace ice cream. Today we are making Java chip with dark chocolate morsels with just a bit of half & half and 2 shots espresso but mostly…

Okay I read the article that @speyerj posted the link for and I found it had some useful information and explained a lot of important terms that are helpful. I especially liked the part about NEAT because that is what I need to work on now. I actually copied that part to study for later. So yes it was helpful to me.…

@girlinkaz amazing planning. I love hearing about all those NSV @trinati2001 I remember those days of afterschool activities. Sometimes I would walk too but others I was tired from work and would just read. I also remember how hard it was on dinners too. Now working at home I can take a break and get dinner started before…

@misplacedma I am glad you concentrated on food and that your trainer is starting at the beginning. It is important to build core strength and not risking injury. @AlexandraFindsHerself You are making progress and it may be much more important than what is on the scale. So congrats on all those NSV. @trinati2001 you are…

I didn't gain when I was eating too little but I wasn't losing either. I didn't read the blog in question. I am just saying that slow metabolism can stall weight loss from eating too little. MFP had set my calorie goal at below my BMR even though I set my weight loss goal for only 1 pound a week loss. I ate so I didn’t go…

@Spotteddingo I haven’t read the blog post in question but I do agree with you that if you eat too little your metabolism will slow. I lost 20 lbs eating below my BMR without knowing anything about BMR and then I hit a long plateau. I ate less, I exercised more, I changed my exercise, etc etc and my weight didn’t budge. I…

Well, I have been coming down from my higher weight last weekend. I exercised almost everyday or was very active the day I didn't. One day only a small walk at twilight enjoying the sunset but had some good walks. Still no weight training due to such sunny beautiful days and not wanting to reinjure my elbow. Thinking about…
