I've been walking a lot at work. I work on a college campus and It is MUCH easier to walk everywhere than to move my car. I do have a reserved parking space (since I am required to live on campus) but there is no guarantee that there will be a parking space where I am going. It's going to die down towards the end of the week though. @JustCallMeAmber will be back in the lead probably soon enough. I like it while I have it though.

I live in the Appalachian mountains @BlackCatMagic, well the Southern part. I'm in Northeast Tennessee. Where did you grow up, if I may ask?

Thanks Bean. I'm trying.

For the first day, I over shot my protein goal (215 g) by 10 g, was 1g shy of my carbs goal (168g), but was well below my fats goal (44g out of 130g). I was still below my normal kcal goal too. IIFYM suggested my kcal should be 2666 per day to get my macros in. Guess I have to eat more fatty carb laden foods while still keeping the protein up.

With this week's weigh-in, I'm almost at the weight I was this summer before falling off the program. Today, I weighed 255.2. My lowest weight, after 6 months of NF, was 250. I've lost 29 pounds since respawning on January 12.

Rebels and fellow nerds: For the next month or so, I am going to try eating according to my suggested macros. Not worrying about calories. My daily macros are 205 grams protein, 169 grams carbs, and 130 grams of fat. This will put my calories at 2666 per day. This is not a deficit, but if I am active, I'll be burning the calories to bring me into a caloric deficit. I did purchase the advanced macro guide from iifym.com and it does say that it will take a few weeks to get my body used to the macros and I may see some increase in weight, which I am ok with, because in the long run, I'll be healthier and the pounds will come off.

@Guzzi, I guess you are ultra competitive. All I have to say is BRING IT!!

First 4 week challenge grade - F!! Doing my second 4 week challenge this month. Currently in the second week. Going better than the last challenge, for sure.

I joined this year's Walk to Mordor today. I added my mileage from the day I started NF, 2/8/18, and I'm 75 miles from Mordor.

I feel like I cheated in the race. I walked more at work than usual this week.

Added my FitBit user profile link to my signature like @Countess D'If. Feel free to send me a friend request.

I sent friend requests to all. I just set up the username. My Fitbit username is the same as my NF name, Balthazar77. @BlackCatMagic I accepted your friend request. I’m on US Eastern Time.
