    April Goal: 132
    Ultimate GW: 125

    I spent most of last night actively trying to convince myself not to binge snack, as I was tired and a little emotional. But I kept thinking of my goal and my progress, and feel proud that I ended the evening successfully.

    @rianneonamission I'm going to maintain between 128-134 and build definition. I'm nervous but excited! I think my fitness goals will be to do a 1 minute plank (I can do up to 45 seconds now), and do 10 pushups in a row.

    @Cora0477 I totally understand that. I overindulged myself last night. Good for you for not giving up!
  • Hi everyone - newbie here! Happy to have a place to help me stay accountable.

    April Goal: 138 - but really my goal is to stick to my low carb/no sugar promise to myself and, ultimately , fit a little better into my pants!

    Hi, everyone! I just restarted my weight loss journey. I moved from MA to VA last year and, although my lifestyle changed greatly, my eating habits didn’t and I ended up gaining weight! So, my current goal is to get back on track.

    Age: (almost) 25
    Height: 5’8.5”
    HW: 165
    CW: 162.6
    GW: 145
    Ultimate GW: 140
    April GW: 155 (yes, I know this seems nuts but my weight fluctuates so much that I think it’s possible. Also, my dad is visiting at the end of the month and I don’t want him to see me in my current pudgy state!)

    4/1: 165
    (4/5: 162.6)

    Hopped on the scale yesterday for my weekly check in and literally could not believe it (still don't really). What a whoosh! Still not unconvinced it's a fluke - note my much higher moving average, and it also match up with how I've been eating, etc. - but it's a very motivating way to start the month at least!

    I've also started the Strong Lifts 5x5 programme with the hubby. That should be interesting! I'm liking the simplicity of it so far, but obviously it's going to get a lot harder, fast.

    We'll see what the scales look like next Thursday, and I'll see if I need to adjust my goals from there...

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to posting here, excited to have a motivating support group. I am trying to get myself back on track after going wildly our of control last fall. Staring down swimsuit season does a lot to motivate me, haha.

    I learned a couple of things recently that have made me accept my weight fluctuations more readily. My menstrual cycle has gotten shorter since I started working out last May. I downloaded an app called Flo a couple of months ago so I wouldn’t be caught by surprise and it asks you to weigh in everyday. Lo and behold I hold 2 -3 pounds of water at ovulation (surprise!) and before my period (no surprise). My recomp is definitely becoming more noticeable. My measurements around my naval have gone significantly down and I’m starting to see muscle definition between my shoulder blades. I still would love to get rid of some body fat around my back/bra area and all around my mid-section at the naval area. Happy Scale says I’m trending 0.34 fat loss. If you say so Happy Scale. Eating at a slight deficit 1400 calories to lose fat and build muscle. Working out 3x week, but hoping for warm weather to increase it 5x. It’s a snow forecast tonight here. Ughh.

    Welcome newbies and WTG ladies! I really have no one else to talk about this stuff with and really appreciate having a place to share this journey and to read all of yours! xx

    This last pound is hanging on for dear life! I feel terrible and bloated today so I'm honestly surprised that I've lost anything. Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

    I missed checking in at the end of March but here I am for April. I'm back on track running and walking daily and am highly motivated. My youngest son graduates high school at the beginning of June, and am going on a cruise to Alaska at the end of June. It's good to have motivations and goals, but yet the number is not the end...I want to be strong and healthy.

    Hippity hoppity, we're on the way!

    I knew some of my starting weight was water weight, but I’m still proud of the 2.5 lb as I worked hard for it.
    I appreciate this group since I look forward to sharing progress!

    My goal for this month is to eat more healthful foods. My daughter just turned 4 and there have been a lot of birthday party snacks in the house. Birthday cake, chips, Eileen's Colossal Cookies...it's bad. I have a terrible sweet tooth so it has been a real problem. But, it's a new week. Let's see if I can get things cleaned up. Have a good week, everyone!

    Start of Feb:112.2
    Start of March: 114.6
    Start of April: 116

    Struggles/success: Have gained steadily since Xmas due to surgery in January coupled with my knee injury and constant traveling. As many friends may have noticed, I was totally absent for the last few weeks. Crazy schedule. But now it’s time. I hit the top of my maintenance fluctuation and now it’s time to lose again. I like being at the bottom of my maintenance range. It gives me a little wiggle room. But now I have to be in the losing mindset. We all know the last 10 are the hardest and I am back at them. The struggle is real folks. My plan is to plan and execute the plan while being safe. Glad to be back with you all. Let’s have a great month.

    April 2 64kg (FFS)
    April 9 63.4kg

    I’m still suffering with my cold, this sounds pathetic, but it’s been 2 weeks now and I’m still blowing my nose all the time, I’ve had enough!!

    This week I’m going to try my very best to eat better, I’ve had chocolate every day this week and that’s no good for me at all!!

    Exercise will be 4 days this week at least!!



    My target this month is going to be 62kg

    Last week was Crimson Week for me/Orthodox Easter so I figured I'd either gain or maintain.
