Weight lost/gained this month:
Successes/struggles this week: Biggest struggle is would be blowing all my hard work for the day by super snacking at night after supper. Biggest success would be pushing my self nearly everday to exercise for at least an hour. Took two days off for holidays.
Still going to be a little while before I see Onederland but at least I'm on my way now. If anyone wants to add me as a friend please do we all need all of the support we can find.
Congratulations! You did a wonderful job this week!!! Good for you for getting out and exercising. It will help you in so many ways. We are starting a new week and you will have new opportunities to care for yourself each and every day!

July 8 check in.. Although I tried to cut and paste my original post I can't so here is the short version
July 1 - 208.8
July 8 - 207.2
Loss - 1.6lbs
Success/struggles - logged all week, increased physical activity, stayed positive...struggles - some personal stressors (that I avoided food to cope with!!) but they take a toll none the less, Total accurate logging is questionable and some headaches as I don't think I got enough water in during the hotter days.
On to week two! Enjoy reading the posts and positive messages on the thread!! 0 -

Weight lost/gained this week: since July 1st I've lost .5lb, so I'm starting today (7/5) @ 166.
Weight lost/gained this month: n/a
Successes/struggles this week:
- wine and sweets are my weakness. It is my goal to have only one bottle per week (so 4 glasses), while I'm losing weight.
I can't control myself around candy... If I have it in the house I will absolutely consume ALL of it - typically at once. So, this week I commit to NO candy.
July 8th check-in
Lost 2 lbs
I did well this week with my wine&sweets consumption (since I technically started this on Monday... That was pretty easy lol)... The real test will be from now until the 15th. Fingers crossed & prayers said!

Successes/struggles this week: Even though I just joined yesterday I've been working out 6 days a week since the first of the month. That's definitely my success so far. I have yet to miss a workout. It was rough last weekend staying on point. My father in law made homemade ice cream. How could I say no??? It was ridiculous but I just tried to compensate it with a longer workout both saturday and sunday. I know it's going to be a long month and I'll be going out of town at the end. Whew!0 -

Weight lost/gained this week:3 lbs this week and 2 lbs last week

Successes/struggles this week: doing a very low sugar diet no fruits except green tipped banana or 1 green apple a day, very low carbs (only 1/2 a cup of rice, legumes or quinoa a day), lots of veggies except for corn and no potatoes including sweet potatoes. So far my biggest struggle has been missing fruit but my greatest strength has been my energy level and not to mention overall less bloating!0 -
Hi, everyone,
I would love to join this group because sharing another person's weekly progress is very motivated. Having searching for motivated for the past few days and all I found was person's talking about their long term progress really frustrates me because I become impatient and want to lost that much overnight. Lol

Hi:) Thank you for the warm welcome, and I hope you'll find comfort in knowing that mcfattest is a result of an inside joke me and my spouse call one another when we get off the the healthy weight wagon: he is mcfatty and I am mcfattest. It is not intended to shame or scold anyone other than myself.LuluforFitness wrote: »Welcome mcfattest! I must confess, I don't like calling you that. It seems mean. I am so glad you joined our challenge!!! It is never too late to commit to being mindful of our health. I wish you a wonderful week!

Weight lost/gained this month:
Successes/struggles this week
This week was unusual for me: after a month of nice steady weight loss streak, this week I gained weight...And I know why: Hosting a party for 4th of July, when I bought a variety of foods with my guests' interest in mind, then having several days of leftovers really set me back. This comes to say that it takes time to change a habit and to maintain it.
Women have other struggles with weight loss too: Carbs are irresistible close to that time of the month, who's with me? Nonetheless, I'm happy I am part of this accountability group; I slipped but I'm ready to get back on track.
Success this week: Managing to wake up on Saturday morning and have a run at sunrise
Hope your week was better, and if not, let's turn it around!0 -

Trying to get motivated today. Trying hard! *sigh*0 -

Congratulations Christy! You lost weight without being highly motivated. I would take it a day at a time, focusing on caring for both your body and your mind. Remember that you are beautiful just as you are and are simply seeing where you can take the wonderful body you have been blessed with! Best wishes for an AWESOME week!!!
