Went to the gym for my personal training appointment, and my guy couldn’t make it. Worked out anyway! And it felt great. I missed all the leg machines. I have free weights at home and I live for deadlifts and squats, but I love doing a leg circuit on machines once in a while.
I’m glad this little group is so participatory. It really, really helps me to hear about your struggles and your triumphs. I’ve had some trouble with logging and consistency with diet and exercise, but you guys inspire me to get back on track right away, instead of spiraling off into a week (or month) long food fest

Ok this is my first time joining any forum. So I want to join to up to try and get motivated to lose this excess weight that I have been carrying around. I also want to get stronger.

The goal weight would put my BMI in the upper normal range. I have had serious health issues lately and I think losing this excess weight would definitely help me out. My reward....a new outfit...just looking in the smaller size clothes rack would be wonderful!!!3 -
Feeling sad with daylight savings...was planning to take a walk but it was way to dark when I got home
1 -
Took a 35 minute walk outside this morning. The sun was shining, but the temp was 40 degrees. Burned 202 calories. Yay! Weighed in. Not a significant loss, but I'll take it.
Beginning CW: 167
Today W: 166.8
Docoryn: sorry daylight savings is interrupting your workout schedule. Did you know you can walk/march in place in front of your TV and get a decent workout? I do that sometimes.
RredSonja: congrats on your gym workout!

Weigh in day and down .4, which is the same as last week. Slow but it adds up over time. Given the week I had any loss is a definate win!5

Ok day 2, so yesterday I went back on my fitness pal diary and started to log in what I had ate throughout the day, I must say that I have been a failure at maintaining my food log, I just find it so difficult but I will try and to be more diligent and consistent and fill it out daily. A new promise to keep...... I work in a small office with a boss that I swear subscribes to the mantra .....if I cant be skinny let my colleagues be fat......there is candy and snacks and other stuff all over here....its pretty tempting but the guy runs 4 miles a day on a regular basis, I think he said that he has run every day for the last 6 years, even on holidays and on his rare vacations.....OMG!!! Ok so I will never be able to to do that! But I do need to keep my health and strength up as I am a caregiver to a senior (94 year old) whose health is pretty good but for the dementia and her inability to walk without assistance. But she is doing pretty good.
Yesterday I was able to maintain a calorie intake of 1250 calories. Whew that was tough.....I just wanted to see if I could do it.....

Pretty sure I gained weight but throughout the week I hit a low of 196.4 lbs! With a full belly and reckless no gym no care for calories I'm at 202.6lbs.tomorrow will be better!1

Since its Wednesday, and I never actually shared my numbers, I thought I'd share today.
SW- 180
CW- 178
GW- 150 for this challenge, but 135 overall.
I've been trying really hard to keep MFP up to date with my nutrition and exercise, but I'm awful at logging it all in. Lol it's a work in progress!3 -
Ok here goes:
SW: 195lb
CW: 188.6lb
GW: 153.6lb
Final goal of 130lb. It's all about consistency baby, and man have I been lacking in that haha. Hence the difficulty getting my logging streak past a few weeks! Time to get my butt into it!!3 -
Forgot to weigh in Wed morning. Will do so Thursday AM. Praying I am going the correct direction1

Previous: 257.2
Today: 255.9
Going the correct way this week5 -
Like @UnixGuru a loss this week, but not as good. (My WW weigh in is noon on Wednesdays)
Fortunately, I didn't gain with my too much partying and not enough logging. I started off my Wednesday with a virtual 5k (I NEVER do this sort of thing, virtual or otherwise). I walked up and down the street (literally, the road slopes up in both directions from our house) until I hit 3 miles on my tracker. I signed up for a virtual 10k Turkey trot (message me for details if you're interested) over the holiday.
I may try the 5k again this weekend, weather permitting. It's a lot easier to do it outside than the "march in front of the TV" that I do like @carolannerhardt. I get bored after 10 minutes and have to do something else LOL (I usually do that when I'm working from home and need a break from the computer).

Eating better and exercise has finally crashed through the plateau I've been on for too long! Hope it continues as the holidays are growing closer! Lost 1.4 lbs this week.

I ate far too many carbs this week. So I am really going to have to watch my carb loading this week1 -
I am feeling stuck! Anyone have experience with not losing weight on 1200 calories per day (I do eat back most of the calories burned exercising? Have been struggling to lose anything! Help!!1
-
Hahaha how much do I suck, I haven’t been here in weeks! Very busy at work, and lots going on at home. But I’m back. Been going to the gym and eating healthy, except for turkey day. Hopefully the weight-in Wednesday will show some loss or stasis!
So glad to see the group still hanging together.0 -

Do you weigh and measure your food precisely? Even seemingly tiny descepancies add up fast.
I have found the estimated calories on MFP are waaaay too optimistic. Try eating back 50% and see if that helps.

I started a weightloss challenge at my job. After gaining some weight after having a child, i started weightlifting steadily for a year. My husband deployed about 8 months ago and I've slowly gained the weight back. So, I could use constant support and motivation to keep going.

Welcome jrdyer15!
I didn’t weight in this week. However, my clothing says I'm shrinking! I've had a good week of diet adherence, weight lifting on track, still building up my cardio. Hopefully by this time next week I'll be ready to get on the stair master again.0 -
Going the wrong way again. This time I am +3.2 pounds. I am not giving up!!!

Hi! I am totally in! I know I am a little late though
CW: 186
Challenge Goal Weight: 151
GW: 145
Seriously lacking on the motivation front though. So I definitely need some encouragement and support0 -
Hi emmajoye61691!
Never too late to get some community and support! Welcome!
My attitude is, even if none of us reach our March 1st goal, if we can maintain or even lose a bit through this time of year we are successful.
I’m looking forward to a weigh-in tomorrow and even if I haven’t lost any weight, I’m pretty confident that my recompisition is on track; I’m much stronger than I was a few weeks ago, and my cardio is steadily improving. I’m hoping next week I can get back on the stairmaster, which is very challenging for me.
How’s everyone else doing?

Weight today: 240, according to my scale at home, which is the one I like because it reads lower than my gym scale or my doctor’s scale
SW: 340
PW: 240
GW for March 1: 205
Ultimate GW: 1441 -
This has nothing to do with anything, just an exciting tip for coffee drinkers; if you miss creamer in your coffee, I just discovered a great replacement. Costco carries a brand of ready to drink low carb low fat protein shake called Premier Protein. The vanilla or caramel flavors are incredibly delicious mixed about 50/50 with coffee, hot or iced. I was so happy, I had to share 0

I am very late but I have a March goal so would like to join everyone on our journeys. I like this thread as its realistic in terms of juggling real life and the weight loss goal and the ups and downs that come with that.

Hi Pinkfairy88! Welcome! I’m a big fan of realistic goals too. Holidays are hard, and honestly, I’ll be glad to maintain and get to the gym 4x a week. I’m not looking forward to the January rush at the gym but I’ll be there anyway!1

I love that people are starting a journey but I hate the January rush haha. Im like get out of my gym unless you are going to be here in February!0 -
Yeah. The rush usually only lasts a few weeks thought!
Still at 240 this week. I started using creatine this week, so I’m retaining a lot of water. Happy to be maintaining!1
