    In January, I had stopped drinking, eating really healthy and working out hard. I gained a pound from prior week and was not happy in Jan. TOM doesn’t help... needless to say, you are making all the right choices and the math works! Calories in, burned = weight loss. After that weigh in 2nd week to end of a Jan I ended up losing 3% body weight. I thought I had hit a plateau; however, it’s coming off! It took patience and now seeing it, whew! Wish you all the best!

    Sorry for being a day late. I've been sick all week so not a lot of movement on my end. You guys have been busy!
    Nice loss. Hope you feel better.

    I won't lie, I'm pretty upset 😞 I have hit a plateau, weight wise. I adjusted my diet and exercise, and even added in sprints to my routine so that I could lose a little more than I did the previous week, but no loss this time. To see a gain this week is discouraging since I put in the work. Consistently exercised, made better food choices, and stayed at a calorie deficit everyday even on Superbowl Sunday. TOM did come this week, but I worked extra hard to avoid a gain from that, so I thought I would still see a loss. Anyway, I'm getting off my soapbox. I should be a little more positive and at least be grateful for my NSVs, like running faster and drinking more water.
    Be kind to yourself. We all have plateaus. Remember it’s not just about the number on the scale. Hang in there girl. It will pay off.

    Was sick with a bad cold and I wasn’t able to workout. This past week I did go for some nice walks when the weather was nice. I am definitely looking forward to getting back to the gym.

    First free day I’ve given myself since beginning of January! I enjoyed myself with family, had some yummy eats, but don’t really feel I did that much harm really. I’m satisfied and ready to get back to being good...on Monday! One more family thing tomorrow first. 😁

    @IanMoone30 Everyone needs breaks through a weight loss. Perhaps you just need a change to the routine you were following. Nothings ever unfixable, if you need more of a break you can just lose it again but don’t ever give up! Been there done that and all I have is regrets. Give yourself the break you need, minimize the damage and then GET BACK TO IT! 😁

    I guess I at least sustained the weight. Will try harder this week. One good thing that came from this week is that I exercised 5/7 days of the week which I'm really happy about. It feels good.

    That's right continue to stay positive and watch the results next week

    Thank you Gloria! <3

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Nope
    Exercise:90 mins walking 60 mins weight training

    Comments: So my training is going well, my trainer wanted to put me on his instagram page, so now I'm out there for the world to see, but it looks good so I'm okay with that. Starting to look at competition dates, super excited. Might also need a new singlet since I've lost a significant amount since the last time I wore it and there's a lot of cute options.....

    Had to finally invest in a new coat, been putting it off since I'm still losing but my old one was so bit it just let in all the cold air, totally defeating the purpose of wearing the coat so I caved and got a new one. Also picked up some waterproof running shoes...since I do that every day no rain or shine, and I hate walking around in wet shoes so it's been an expensive week but worth it for the long term...

    I need to decide if I’m doing keto or not. I’ll do great first part of the week and then fall off by the weekend. Keto is how I lost the baby weight after #2. I know it works for me- I just need to commit to it.

    I tried and love it for a bit but missed my beans so I decided to do my own version of low carb and have been on track ever since. I'm sure you'll find a way to either commit or find something that works for you.

    @Bm00re2u I understand how you feel. But hang in there, you might be surprised at what happens after this week. You've been working hard, and while the scale isn't showing it, it will catch up, it's just slow.

    And you might look into changing up your eating schedule, maybe try meal timing/intermittent fasting to see if that helps...when I hit plateaus, IF helps or fasting for 24-36 hours once or twice a month. Worth looking at if you've tried everything else.

    Thank you for the suggestions and support ladies 😊 I am seeing things in a better light today.
    I reassessed my eating habits and exercise routine yesterday to find where I can make adjustments. There is always room for improvement, so I have decided not to let the weigh in discourage me. Moving forward! Happy Sunday!

    GOOD MORNING TEAM SLIMSONS! :)
    IT'S DAY 7! WE MADE IT THROUGH THE 1ST WEEK :*


    TODAY'S MOTIVATION TIP: MEASURING
    I'm sure some of you figured out what today's tip was going to be from all my hints yesterday. . .LOL! :D

    Anyway I feel you guys pain when you feel like you're doing all you can and the scale is not moving in your favor. I've been there and even vented this dissatisfaction to my Nutritionist and she suggested I start measuring. So I am offering the same advice to you guys.

    As always this is just suggested advice to help you along your journey. I hope this helps just one person today.

    Have a blessed day. <3

    Regards,
    Glorious Gloria

    Love this! Thank you Gloria!
