pedal__power PW 215.8 CW 217.4 I have lots of yucky bloating today. Sunday to Wednesday I weighed in under 215, so I know I'm making progress. My exercise was really good but I only managed to fully log my food 3 days this week, so need to get back to that for this coming week. Have a good weekend, everyone!

pedal__power PW 217.6 CW 215.8 Hi all! I was travelling last week and had to eat out a few times, but bought a healthy breakfast to keep in the hotel fridge. I am doing an 8 week challenge that starts tomorrow. I committed to logging my food every day, aiming for 1,800 to 2,000 calories a day and intentionally exercising…

oh, I'll miss my weigh-in this week due to travel. Can I please be excused until next week? thank you!

@jessicakrall8 Thank you for sharing your story. What a huge relief to have two recent good exams and for some of the swelling tom come down! That's some excellent work on your nutrition and inspiring to hear your progress. @Pupowl I love reading your posts too! It gave me a little delight to hear about your My Little Pony…

pedal__power PW 218 CW 217.6 Merry Christmas and happy holidays to those who celebrate. After last week's high weigh-in, I started tracking my nutrition again and cutting out sweets. My weight bounced down to 215.6 after a few days but then we went to a bunch of Christmas parties and I ate way too much and my weight is not…

I have my monthly paper planner/calendar all ready to go for 2025! I use it to track my daily weight, steps and calories. Writing down my progress feels very satisfying and serves as a daily reminder to keep at it.

Thanks for this reminder, I last took measurements in 2022 and 2018 and they were still saved in MFP, so I can use those to measure my progress.

Aiming for: - 87,500 steps per week (~12,500 per day). I'm currently about 10K steps per day. I'll need to get up from my desk more to get this all in. - strength training X2 per week. Currently doing one or none per week. On top of this, I play and coach hockey twice per week.

I think where I have gotten into the most trouble has been with eating way to much sugar or salty snacks at night and during the day, particularly if I am working from home. I previously have had successful (slow and manageable) weight loss from consistently logging my food and eating 1,800 to 2,200 calories per day with…

For this challenge, my actions will be to: 1. Log all food for the 56 days, aiming for 1800 to 2200 calories per day (depending on my exercise levels) and 120-130g of protein daily 2. Cut down on my sugar intake 3. Walk 87,500 steps per week (~12,500 per day) 4. Strength train x2 per week 5. Decrease the amount of aimless…

Thank you Diane and Ceri, I'll check out the Pre-Assignments. Looking forward to getting started!

read, but I don't know where to post/check in. Hopefully the team will help me learn how to do this.

What do you like to be called? pedal__power How did you learn about the 5% Challenges? Found it looking for a challenge group for Jan 2025 on MFP. How many 5% Challenges have you completed? Zero - this will be my first! What do you like to do for fun? Sports and arts! I play and coach hockey in the winter and love cycling…

New here, but would love to join Mission Slimpossible! Thanks!

pedal__power PW 216 CW 218 Happy Friday! My weight is up from overeating a couple days this week with holiday party days on the go and I've been way less active lately. Yesterday was better, I got a 20min row in and played hockey in the evening, made better food choices and tracked my intake. I'm trying to reset my…

@CasandraW I am so sorry for your sudden loss. @Pupowl I appreciate your posts and read them when I can! Sorry to hear that you've been struggling recently, I love the nature photos and hope Tinus is better soon enough that you can get back outdoors, but love the walking pad you set up as well. It's great that you are…

Pedal__power PW 216.2 CW 214.4 I've been at the theatre all week, managing costumes for a musical. It's been a lot of long hours and little sleep, but very rewarding! The show ends tomorrow. Have a good Saturday!

pedal__power PW 216.4 CW 216.2 Been sick most of this week with terrible fatigue and a cough that started three weeks ago. I think it's improved slightly, but my energy has been really low. Take care, everyone.

pedal__power PW 216.2 CW 216.4 Happy Friday! I've been sick since last week with a terrible dry cough that just seems to be lingering, so not getting as much exercise. It's just starting to go away and I'm feeling more energetic just in time for the weekend. My weekend plans include going to the theatre to see Charlie and…

pedal__power CW 216.2 Sorry for the late weigh in!

pedal_power PW 216 CW 215.8 I indulged in a lot of sweets this week, so was expecting a weight increase. My kids brought home so many candies from trick or treating last night. It's going to be hard to stay away from them, but I'd really like to cut back on my sugar intake for the month of November, it feels like it's…

pedal__power PW 215.8 CW 216 Busy week! I've not been as active, not sleeping super well and more hungry as a result. I still appreciate this opportunity to check in.

pedal__power PW 216 CW 215.8 My weight was around 214 for most of this week, but not this morning! My nutrition, sleep and exercise were all better this week. I had a couple of tough and exhausting hockey games - we played some higher division teams. Came out with a tie and a loss. It's part of division balancing at the…

pedal__power PW 213.6 CW 216 I went for dinner last night with friends. It was fun but I've really been overeating lately and the scale was no surprise this morning. Sorry team, I need to get my nutrition cleaned up. I appreciate the accountability here. I took the day off work to have an extra long weekend and will do…

Sorry, I know I missed the deadline for weigh in, was out all Fri and Saturday. Still, here it is: PW 215.4 CW 213.6 Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

pedal__power PW 213.8 CW 215.4 Ack, not good that I've reached a new high... I've been sick this week, but starting to feel a bit better today.

pedal__power PW 214.4 CW 213.8 Was a busy week with work and social/kids/volunteer activities. My nutrition and exercise were pretty good all week, except I had a slip last night. Got into some dark chocolate covered blueberry flavoured treats and couldn't stop myself....agh! NSV - I've been more consistent with exercise…

pedal__power PW 213.6 CW 214.4 I've been taking advantage of the nice weather this week and getting out for either a jog or a bike ride on my lunch hour. Evenings have been busy with my kids' activities and my bedtime has been nudging later again. I'm catching up on posts and love reading about all the adventures, home…
