Do you do strength training. If not it would be smart to add it in. Candy does not bother me.
I thought about buying Fitbit HR for my parents but I gave up this idea after reading online reviews here: https://fitbit.pissedconsumer.com/fit*****arge-hr-fitness-t racker-21702/RT-C.html
People write that these trackers just fall apart. It's impossible to use them! I don't want to spend money for nothing. That is why me and my parents own Garmin Vivofit. We had connectivity issue but we managed to fix it. The quality of strap isn't too high, it fades quickly. Overall it's worth the price.
I have read the comments and I would like to add that you all are doing great! I am on this forum to help my family to lose weight and to support them. I will show my mother and father your daily schedules. Hopefully they will feel motivated! My mother does her best and enjoys the process. She chose her favorite activities (dancing, yoga and walking) and she sees the first results. But it's not the same with my father. He just doesn't like exercises and he acts like a small boy. Could you advice me the ways to motivate him?
DC - which is pretty much where all of my races are, except for the first of the two October races I do, which is in Baltimore. :)

Yesterday was the MCM10K (that's Marine Corps Marathon 10k - the 10k race attached to the SUPER HUGE Marine Corps Marathon in DC). I did this race last in 2015 and I beat my time by 17 minutes! Woo! Very proud of myself for that! Now I'm finished with races (aside from my weekly 5k race****il my half marathon in March. Woo!

Race week! Took a nasty fall on Saturday in the mountains, but I think the damage was limited. Good thing.
Monday-supposed to be a rest day but I think i'll try for a 4 mile shakeout this evening.
Tuesday-6 mile run
Wednesday-6 mile run
Thursday-6 mile run
Friday-4 mile run
Saturday-Deadman Peaks Trail Marathon
Sunday-Going to a concert after the marathon, so maybe nothing, but hoping for 6ish miles.
VSG: 3/12/15
Seems pretty well. There are indeed hindrances to our plans but the most important is that we learn to be flexible through it all. Good luck!
