  • I had 3 glasses of wine with dinner, enjoyed it - 2 would have done but habits die hard. Anyway it was enjoyable and I feel ready with no resentment to start another stretch of AF, I’ve managed 6 so far. Feeling fresh this morning too, so no lost days this month
  • Condolences @Lilylady3k - you’re a very good daughter the way you’re supporting your Mom
  • Got through takeaway/take out night with 1 AF beer, then onto tea (not Long Island haha) First fresh Saturday in a good few weeks, I appreciate this feeling, instead of trying to fool myself into thinking I wasn’t too hungover. Saying I was better than I deserved, although as the day wore on I’d realise I was badly wrong.…
  • @Lilylady3k - my sympathies to you, this is a hard time, my sister in law passed earlier this year after nearly a month in a hospice. It’s a strange twilight world even more so in this weird pandemic world. I think you’re showing great restraint with the wine - well done you. I think sometimes alcohol is a crutch the night…
  • Thanks for the warm welcome. I haven’t felt able to say it out loud to my other half, scared I’ll fail and feel dejected. Planning strategies to avoid the booze quietly until I get at least 1 weekend dry done. I think a night where I drink is a write off from a diet perspective. I rarely if ever manage to stick to my…
  • I’d like to join in if that’s ok. I’ve an exam in early December and I really need to a November where I remember! Losing too much of my weekends to hangovers, not every weekend but too many to be pleasant. Also finding it really detrimental to my weight loss, no weight loss in fact for a few weeks due to weekend wine &…
  • Sorry for missing out on the first weigh in, I’ve been sunning myself for a few days, quick break away. Username: Jaybo37 Weigh in day : Sunday Week : 1 Starting weight : 160.1 To reintroduce myself for new joiners, I’m Jill, from Ireland, 2 kids, work outside the home.

  • Monday check in: Cals : on target Water : err? Exercise : 17,095 to be exact Lots of walking - weather is fab here, was a beautiful warm sunny day, long may it last!
  • Sunday check in: Cals : ok Water : eh??? Exercise : just over 15,500 steps through a jog/walk/treadmill jog/walk Boring Sunday and don’t feel particularly tired so could be a long night
  • That’s so funny @Jactop - last week was it Mark that came from nowhere with insane steps. I went to bed with good number & was like what that heck happened lol! I’m working hard to hit my 15,000 target a day, just under 7 weeks to my first holiday of the year and I really really want to drop a few pounds.

  • Wednesday check in: Cals - around 140 over, brought child & friend to the cinema and had some chocolate, no cals left for cereal now 😭 Water - not sure but ok Exercise - 1 hours jog on the treadmill and got my 10,000 before I left for work today, up at 17,500’ish Long day ahead of me tomorrow, tendency to eat silly. Effort…
  • Tuesday check in Cals fine/water fine/steps - just over 15,000 I’m inadvertently on day 2 of no chocolate/crisps. In the evenings when I’m prone to snack, I’ve been having a bowl of high’ish fibre cereal with milk. It’s sweet enough to fix my cravings. You never know I might actually succeed at a challenge😬
  • Aww thanks @Kres567 - every little helps😉 @ruthann2 - that’s a nice chunk of change gone right there, I hope your flu isn’t too bad, I live in fear of flu after a bad dose a few years ago. @19shmoo69 - that’s a brilliant loss, well done
  • Username: Jaybo37 Weigh-in Day: Sunday Weigh in Week: 3 (I think?) Previous Weight: 161.4 Current Weight: 161 Very pleased it’s coming down, slowly granted but my deficit isn’t very restrictive & I’ve a tendency to go over on weekends so that’s to be expected. My goal for this week is to get 1.1 pound off, I want to be…
  • Oops yesterday was a disaster! Ate a ridiculous amount of chocolate. Anyway it’s behind me now, today’s been better. Steps have been great all week so there’s a hope I’m breaking even fingers crossed
  • Wednesday check in: Cals : on point Water : around 2 litres Exercise : nearly 15,500 Doing good, got a teenager singing weird songs at me, gotta go!
  • @TeresaW1020 - you could really benefit from tracking your average weight, clearly a fluctuation which would have smoothed out that sodium gain. If you’re weighing everyday you certainly have the data to track.
  • I could do with the laundry walk AND the power clean! Would sure improve my home and my weight, win win😉 Monday &Tuesday consolidated check in Under/on point cals 36,750 steps over the 2 days, made up of walks/run on treadmill/general pottering I’m doing pretty ok all round. Macros aren’t quite where I’d like them but I’m…
  • I did the laundry walk on Friday!! Such a great idea @Jactop I had to go from my kitchen - through lounge area, upstairs to bedroom - and back. I put something like 20 pieces of clothes away one at a time this way. Jogged back & forth. Really racked up the steps😬
  • Sunday check in: Cals : over Water : not sure but around 2 litres Exercise : 13,245 Exhausted after late night & alcohol. Last few days have been very lax with the cals, badly need to drag myself away from the junk food 😞
  • Username : jaybo37 Week : 2 Weigh in day : Sunday Previous weight : 161.9 Current weight : 161.4 Bit of a party night last night, recovering very slowly....
  • Friday check in: Cals : over but expected that Water : 2.5 litres Exercise : 14,505 to be exact! Planning an hour on the treadmill shortly, not exactly looking forward to it but needs must
  • Thursday check in: Cals : a bit over (1866 instead of 1700) Water : 3 litres Exercise : just over 15,000 steps I nearly kept to calories but had such hunger pangs I had to have a slice of toast, sometimes you have to accept your body needs a bit more. Nearly Friday again and the struggle begins, too much day with too much…
  • Wednesday check in a bit late so I’ll summarise, under cals/over water/17,000 steps I’m working hard this week to get my 15,000 steps a day - I had dropped to 13,000 or so a day but as I have a break coming up, I need to step it up - quite literally😬
  • Tuesday check in Cals : on target Water : 2.5 litres Exercise : 15,200 The only thing I’m consistent with these days is tracking! Sorry I’m so rubbish at keeping up with the check in’s the last while. It truly is a marathon

  • @Kres567 - I won’t take part in Febs step challenge, a lot on this coming month & I’m sure someone else would enjoy taking part. I’m on that many challenges starting in so many time zones I don’t know where I am lol!
