@tinak33 I'm starting to think the cheer squad suits you, you've really done a super job, and all the while on the cheer squad!
Awesome loss!! Way to get solidly into the 150s! I'm trying desperately to get there myself, but my I think I depleted my will power training for my meet.2 -
Happy weigh in day Thursday:

Okay @AB0215, back in the garage with 15 lb dumbbells. Squats, lunges, shoulder press, pushups and rows. Only 3x10, just testing the waters. Heart rate stable. Amazing how weak I've become sitting out Nov. Gonna take it light and slow. Knee feels great. Slightly swollen but got deeper in the squats which is a good sign. I'm hoping Santa brings me a squat rack.1

You will make it. I know you are determined, and it will happen!
I was at my low of 154.3 back in June, and I am desperately trying to get back to that... hahaha Preferably before "cookie season"! I want to end the year in the 150s AFTER I have the cookies. So I know by the end of the month, my weight will jump back up.... but the goal is to keep it in the 150s. Hence the reason for cheer squad.... it is going down now, but I anticipate it going back up. As long as it doesn't go past 159, I'm happy. haha
Then I want to get back on the team for January!!1 -

Comments: It's dead week (the week before finals week) and I'm not doing so well to be honest. I've been upset this past week a lot and doing kinda badly on diet. It's just not a good time right now. I've noticed a pattern between how I feel I'm doing in school and how I'm doing health-wise. They're very connected. I'm going to try to do well today though. Hopefully it goes well.2 -

I’m recovering from the stomach flu, blech! I hope no one else gets it this year! I got a flu shot so I was hoping I’d be immune, but no such luck. All I ate today was ritz and Gatorade so I’m hoping I was under. My poor 1 and 1/2 year old got sick too, but only seems to have thrown up once over night. He didn’t even cry out when it happened
I know he didn’t feel great today though, because he refused a banana, and that NEVER happens! 4 -

Daily Post (Thursday)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise:Yes, 55 mins weight training, 20 mins walk
Comments: I've been struggling with motivation, it's like I'm a little lost without a goal deadline looming over my head, but despite all that, I did manage to do good today. Instead of doing OMAD, I split my OMAD calories between 2 meals today and over a short eating window, trying to trick myself into doing what I need to do, hopefully it helps get me back on track because it's been really hard this week, and last week and I'm just not doing nearly as well as I should be.
Also as I sit here, I'm trying to forget that I managed to slice off a good chunk of skin on my thumb doing something relatively unsafe, with an exacto knife, as I have done for like 1000 times before knowing full well it's a bad idea, but always turns out okay....well not this time, I guess. And now, hours after I did it, it finally hurts, which sort of sucks because it's in a terrible location for holding a barbell, which I have to do tomorrow, and well everyday really. Maybe this time, I'll learn my lesson, maybe not. Only time will tell.3 -

@kathleenford04 Sadly, the flu shot can't save you from everything, although, it does cut down on a lot! Feel better soon, and hopefully the little one feels better soon too0 -

@Beckymomof3girls I wouldn't worry toooo much about being over today, as if you're under most of the time and go over once, you're still under for the week...it takes 3500 calories to lose 1 pound so if you're under most of the time, you're still coming out ahead....and if you've been sick, you might just have needed a little more food to re-fuel...either way, it's one day and not a big deal in the grand scheme of things...you just have to pick back up tomorrow!0 -

@jcgator2016 I also hope Santa brings you a squat rack! I love mine, got it used and at a great price. While it's not exactly what I wanted, it does the job and saved hundreds...and I'm about to polish off my basement gym this month and I'm super excited. Part 1 of the last phase will happen this weekend or next week, I have to take down the pictures on the wall and re-frame them and move them to another wall to clear the wall for my giant mirror for behind my squat rack. Not looking forward to hanging that, or re-hanging any of the giant 24x36 sized pictures I have to re-frame and re-hang, but it will all be worth it in the end.
I'm glad to see you're able to get back into weight training, I'd probably die if I couldn't train. Smart to keep it simple and light as you ease back into it. And it IS surprising how quickly you lose it if you don't use it! I know that first hand and something I'm experiencing right now! I've been super focused on my Olympic lifts that I've sort of neglected my other lifts as there's just not enough time for all of them and I've definitely noticed that my squat, bench and deadlifts have suffered a bit and I'm not thrilled, but it's a temporary but necessarily evil, lol.1 -

@jcgator2016 I ALWAYS love your intro, still not sure I've issued that kick in the butt yet, maybe it will be this month, or maybe it will be my own butt I kick, I'm pretty disappointed in myself right now, I'm lacking the motivation to carry me through and I'm blaming not having a solid deadline, but I really shouldn't need that to do what I need to do
And everyone, dogs included, loves bacon....just saying, bacon should be it's own food group, like pizza...just saying. I've never had a dog that liked water, and we always had labs and a pool growing up, and somehow, never had a dog end up in the pool, except that one time the solar cover was on and she thought she could just walk out there on top of it and not sink in...she was not amused, but we were...1 -

Exercise: yes - 15,000 steps, stretching conditioning and repeatedly practicing an annoyingly enthusiastic dance for the Christmas display, that for some reason all the kids had forgotten! Then helping a friend move house.
I ended up walking to work in the horrible rain because the car had a flat. It’s raining even worse this morning, so I hope my husband gets home in time to drive me to work.1 -

My name is Jim, I am 62 and reside in Charleston, SC
This is my fifth month with the Slimsons, and I thoroughly enjoy it. It holds me accountable, to log daily, and gives me motivation in my quest to lose weight. Ashley is a great Capt, always there for encouragement or a kick in the butt. I'm recently retired, married to my best friend and college sweetheart for 37+ years. We have two grown sons, both married and a precious 2 1/2 year old grandson I aptly dubbed Bubby. Highlight of my week is picking Bubby up from daycare two days a week and hanging out.

Started this weight loss journey on 23 June. To lose 120 lbs. I've knocked almost 40 off, so I only have to do it 2 more times. I have started and quit numerous times, but this time I am motivated, laser focused and will not stop till I reach my objective. Gonna hit some snags on the way. Lord knows, I had a tough month in October and last month was no picnic. Nov 5, three hours after my weightlifting session, my heart rate stayed well over 153 and wouldn't come down. Wife came home from work, took me to the ER and after two days in the hospital, they managed to get my HR down with meds. Cardiologist said the cause was Atrial Flutter. After a battery of tests and modifying my meds, the last 9 days my heart beat has remained normal, and I was recently cleared to exercise except no heavy lifting.
Best advice I can give is to please stick to the plan. There is a reason why we are all here. If you have a bad day, or a bad week, don't give up. Keep pushing. Ask for help. Seen too many good people on here just quit and leave after their first week.
Good luck to all. Glad y'all are part of this group. Go Slimsons!

Not much, but I'll take it. Anything is better than a gain. Time to get serious again and get back on track. 5 day detox/reset starting today. Year end goal was to be under 250, so I have some work to do.2 -
