@jdelaroy I can certainly commiserate with you on the going the wrong way. I am up again for this milestone but am down almost a pound since Tuesday. When life gets crazy and our moods get out of control the mindless eating of comfort food seems to take over despite us knowing better. Good job on resisting cupcakes, ice…

Good morning everyone! @Danelutza19 you never cease to amaze me at what you accomplish daily and your training sessions are outstanding! Me, I am so sore today from Tuesday nights Running Plus class I can barely stand upright lol Goes to show just how quickly we can lose our conditioning. So I got some serious work to do…

Good morning! Had a successful day yesterday, first one in far too long. Despite it being +28 last evening I went to run club and did a 90 min run/workout. Almost killed me but I got through it (wasn't pretty). Too hot to sleep and my poor dog was having a bad night, very laboured breathing, so running on about 3 hrs of…

@jdelaroy Good for you getting the kids fishing gear. I think kids today need to do more of the "simple" things in life. It is good for them to be out in nature and away from electronics and whatnot. Good family fun! My son is almost 28 and fishing is still his favourite pastime. Good morning, happy hump day! Could have…

@jdelaroy I totally get the weekend gain, I am up twice that. But recognizing it and jumping back on track will correct it. Looks like a busy day for you, but you can do it. So happy milestone day everyone, I am afraid I am going to bring the group average down this time around. Things are supposed to get on track this…

@2020pinktogo, my deepest sympathies to you and your family on your grandmother's passing. You have had a tough time lately with both your mom and grandmom hospitalized. Keep strong and let others help you through this difficult time. <3
-
Good morning and thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. @jdelaroy sounds like you had a pretty successful day, the noon walk is always a nice break from the work day. I am so out of sorts being in the camper without much in the way of utilities, etc so feeling very grubby, food is all out of whack, tired, overwhelmed…
-
Good morning everyone and I agree it seems everyone is very busy and lots of us are trying to manage stress on top of it all. I started well again but had to take my furbaby to the vet. Got a completely unexpected and devastating diagnosis. He is in heart failure and dying. I was in tears all night. Needless to say I ate…
-
@Lilymay2 hope the weather holds for you, your plans don't need to include the rain today. Good morning! I did awesome on my goals until I got home and then it went down the toilet. I am so disorientated with living in a camper in my driveway as my house sits there with no utilities and everything packed up. I just am…
-
Wow everyone is busy these days! Sorry to hear about your grandma @2020pinktogo @ariel1116 nice work!! Been a busy weekend for me trying to get the last stuff done before the house gets lifted on Wednesday. Utilities being disconnected today and we moved into a camper yesterday for the next couple of weeks. Exciting but…

Hello everyone, happy milestone day. The spreadsheet will be updated on Monday when I get to work. Things very hectic here getting ready to have our house lifted this week. Almost have everything in boxes on the floor, got the old fence posts out, shovelling gravel, chopping yrees roots with an axe wooo me!!! Not losing…
-
@Lilymay2 sounds like a much needed recovery day with that workout. Didn't do so great yesterday, so very tired and made some poor choices. However on the up side, the weather was gorgeous and took the opportunity to spend time with my favorite horse. He has decided he loves being brushed now. Then I heard the frogs…
-
@2020pinktogo so sorry to hear about your mom and grandmother in the hospital. So stressful, make sure you look after yourself and don't put too much pressure on yourself. @jdelaroy - great job on not eating your emotions that is a hard beast to control! Had a good day yesterday, had a few more little snacks than I planned…
-
@lpeltenburg I can imagine it could be challenging working with a spouse. I could never do it with mine lol You have clear goals and will smash them! @mari_moulin I do hope you are feeling better, I understand how difficult it can be. If it persists please don't be afraid to see your family doctor. Don't let it grow and…
-
@mari_moulin I completely understand how you are feeling. I too have been struggling since Easter but had a breakthrough on the weekend and feeling much stronger. When overwhelmed you need to take your view down to a narrower focus as the big picture can be too much and you end up doing nothing. Pick one or two targets for…
-
@RejsGirl nice work on the quick recovery and refocus. You go after that 139, you got it. I managed to come in under calories but just barely, but that's two days in a row after a 2 week serious side rail. But I can feel my focus getting stronger so I am on the right track. Today's goals: cardio - 30 mins done stay on…
-
@MonicaA2013, nice clear goals and you are doing so great! Good morning everyone! Due to my goof up I am leaving milestone 1 open today for those who need corrections of their starting weights to contact me for a correction. I have seen some nice numbers though, so nice start. I can see I didn't help the cause whatsoever I…
-
HI all, due to my goof up I will allow changes to the end of today. If your starting weight on the Challenge Progress tab is incorrect, just message me and I will correct asap. To all of you that have contacted me, your starting weight has been corrected. For those who had questions on where to enter the weight, you always…
-
Yes @danelutza19 I messed up on the dates, I had the date plus 10 instead of 9. Its now fixed, so sorry. Anyone that weighed in just send me your start weight and I will adjust your numbers accordingly. I did see @2020pinktogo was down a pound so I corrected that one. Please accept my apologies for the goof up :s
-
Good afternoon everyone! Looks like everyone is smashing their goals. Not me this milestone but my focus is elsewhere this next couple of weeks and I have given myself permission to do so and not beat myself up. Hopefully I won't be way over where I was when started. And if I am I will give the scale the finger too @…
-
@jdelaroy glad to hear you have your motivation back and to lose! I have been MIA this past week and will likely be sporadic for the next week or so, but I am still here and checking in. We got hit with another foot of snow on the weekend, it is doing lots of demotivating and frustration. Lots going on at the moment and…

lifting weights. lift heavier weight for fewer reps rather than high volume light weight
-
Good morning. Have started the day off on the wrong foot, but was up very late last night, so just could not get out of bed for 4:40 so I slept in till 5:30 and just got to work on time. So I missed my cardio. And it is snowing again :'( so doubtful I will do anything tonight. Today's goals: eat to plan come under calories…

a boiled egg, an apple and maybe a greek yogurt
-
@SingRunTing you look fantastic in all 3 pictures! Your little girl is adorable o:) @2020pinktogo I hope your headaches subside once you get back to your branch, stress certainly tells our bodies when something is wrong, we just need to listen to it. Glad you did and are taking the steps to correct it. ok, the confession -…
-
Good morning! A cold dark damp day here but I met up with some friends at the dog park so walked and talked
-
I like the idea of still checking in, helps with the accountability aspect which is huge. Had a good day yesterday and we had sunshine all day which wasn't expected. So instead of strength training in the gym I worked outside for 2 hours and did lots of heavy lifting. Today's goals: eat to plan stay under calories 20 min…
-
@2020pinktogo it should not be too hard for people to understand you would prefer to be closer to home, work within walking distance would be amazing. Don't let them stress you out, just focus on returning to the home base :)
-
You are an inch shorter than me and I would absolutely love to hit 110. I weighed 104 briefly 3 yrs ago and people were worried about me being so small and begging me to eat. I cannot imagine weighing 94 lbs. Yes, you can continue to strength train to develop that definition you are looking for. I think that is a great…
-
Has anyone else had issue getting in? @germaine_yee I added your name and stats. Do you have the app loaded to access the spreadsheet? Can anyone else troubleshoot this issue? I really do not know why you aren't able to access it.
