Love the fitbit - you people are NUTS! We have a group of fitbitters at work and they trash talk and its so funny!!0 -
I'm Tammy and have yo-yo'd for all my life. I turned 49 in February and am tired of being fat and being fat makes me tired. I started January 14th and have lost 28 pounds so far. I count calories, exercise daily and wear my Fitbit religiously. I am looking forward to this challenge and new friends to motivate me. Please feel free to friend me!
What a boss Tammy - 28 lbs!!!!! Great job!0 -
Ok - so I have always been active BUT I have always overeaten especially donuts and treats. I was a professional baker so I know how to provide myself those delightful goods. This past Christmas, I realized that I needed to make a choice - coming from an unhealthy family background - I had to choose if that's what my plan as or to get fit and be a better example to my kids.
Since Jan 1st, I am down 20 lbs with about 10 more to go. It seems to be the hardest 10 lbs. I like to eat but now keeping track with MFP. I run a ton and am training for a May marathon but do about 1 race per month. Being overweight has been very hard on my joints as I ran but allowed my weight to keep creeping up. Nice to meet everyone and so excited to encourage everyone!0 -
20 lbs, fantastic! And training for a marathon! You're having a super year, keep up the great work.Shalynlink wrote: »Ok - so I have always been active BUT I have always overeaten especially donuts and treats.

Weigh-In Day: Monday0

I’m 27, married, no kids. I’m a huge emotional eater and totally addicted to sugar. I cut out sugar and starches mid-January and lost 20 lbs. I’m starting to add in healthier starches (still TRYING to stay away from sugar) and hoping I can continue to lose weight. I wouldn’t say I’m active but I have a 5 month old puppy who I take on a walk every day and my work has yoga classes twice a week and I do.0

Hey Team Gutbusters, my name is Nikki and I know we're going to rock this out!
A little about me, I'm in my early 40's and a former/current athlete. I used to play all kinds of sports when I was young and healthy. I put on 100 lbs over the course of 6 years having my wonderful children. I lost 60 lbs about 2 years ago and kept it off for 8 months. Then, I fell and hurt my back pretty bad and was put on prednisone for inflammation. I started gaining quickly from the meds and it made me mad, so I started eating myself back up to my former weight. I have lost 35lbs since then and kept it off for 4 months. I need to lose another 70-80 lbs and am doing so by exercising and eating right.
Just remember, mind over matter and we can do this!!
Weigh-in day: Tuesday

You can have whatever day you'd like. Wednesday was used because that's when you joined. If you normally weigh in on Saturday then I would suggest you keep Saturday.0 -
Good morning Team Gutbusters! I'm Sherrie, 42 yr old retired (Navy) SAHM of 2 boys. I have yo-yo'd all my life. Last year I lost about 25 lbs on MFP, got a little overconfident and long story short gained most of it back. I have re-lost all but six pounds that will put me back where I left of last year and that is my first mini goal. I weigh every day because I have learned that it helps me know when my TOM is coming (in am NOT regular) I am trying to get on board with Fitbit week start of Sunday or Monday but I like weighing in on Friday or I can do Wednesday whatever y'all think!0

I love to run too, but it is SO hard the heavier I get. I have a hard time saying no to donuts too...moderation is the key, right?!0 -

28lbs is AWESOME. I'm 46 and a yo-yo er as well...it seems I do well for a while, and then slip back into old patterns when life gets tough... 0 -
You'll be at your mini goal in no time! Hopefully this challenge helps, glad to have you on our team.Sherriediva1 wrote: »Good morning Team Gutbusters!

I go through times where I weigh almost every day. It's crazy how much my weight can fluctuate! Sometimes for good reason (too much salt/hormones), but sometimes there is no explanation. My graph looks like an EKG readout!
But, I get to see the big trends over time.
