No weight loss but I did lose inches. I have a scale that breaks down my fat, muscle, bone, & water weight. I most definitely gained muscle. Maybe next week the scale will move down more 🤷🏽♀️

I was having some stomach issues late in the day so I wasn't able to get in my workout on the bike. I did go shopping early in the day so that helped make up for it.
I tried kale chips today .....they were so gross...what a waste of money.

Not happy with my eating cause I can't cook my own meals and the person they sent me can't cook so was aggravated cause I had to order out totally defeat my purpose of trying to Start fresh but I know it's nothing but the enemy still going to remain positive and going to have boil eggs prepared for the future as a plan B. I did try going without eating today with nothing but my healthy snacks but that was not working. 😟
TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY STAYING POSITIVE!!4 -

Ok so I just had to share my NSV this morning. I am wearing pants that were definitely getting to small on me and I have room in them! Lol. Feels good to be able to wear something I haven’t put on in a long time because the pants were just getting too tight. Have a great day all.
@vicky2767 That's super exciting! You're doing great!1 -

This is my second month on Team Slimsons. My name is Dave, and I’m a 49 year old guy. I’m feeling like I’m in the best shape of my adult life so far. I’ve always been well above 300 pounds, hitting a little over 400 at one point many years ago. Two years ago, I really buckled down, after a scary threat from my doctor, and got to 230 in a year. Then it got tough again. I’ve been stuck between 250-270 since. I’m 6’ 4”, so I’m targeting 210. I really felt inspired last month, despite some ups and downs, so I’m excited to get into March. Currently 251.8.
Let’s go team!!
@Wildmage69 Welcome back Dave!! I think you're doing great, it's harder to lose weight when you're getting closer to your goal weight, but you CAN do it!!1 -
@Beckymomof3girls Great goals for the week!! Exercise really does tend to help improve your mood/mindset, at least for me it does! You got this!Beckymomof3girls wrote: »
No loss this week, but I’m not surprised. I felt dehydrated last week and I didn’t watch as closely as I was what I was eating. Went on a 3 mile jog yesterday morning and that helped me get my mindset positive again.
My goal for this week is to do daily posts everyday, to run 3x, and to eat 3 servings of veggies a day.

Sorry I missed posting my daily post the last two days. Sadly, we had an unexpected death in the family. I am up going again!
@Fitness327wk Sorry to hear about that, it's really never easy when that happens, and especially when it's unexpected.0 -

I am new to these challenges with that said I love challenges to keep me motivated. I need this group for accountability. I have been on this roller coaster of weight loss since my 20's. This has to stop! I'm a pretty active person, I love being outdoors. I mostly eat whole foods, my nemesis is portion control. I have started weighing portions and logging everything again. I have excepted that is a tool I maybe be using for the rest of my life. I am looking forward to this challenge. Thank you Ashley and Gloria for organizing!
@Gadgetgirl259 Hi Amy, Welcome! Portion control is definitely something I struggle with. When I eat, I want to eat it all. I think it does get a bit easier over time though, you've already taken the first steps, you got this!!0 -

I am pretty new to MFP and have been using it for the past two weeks and have already dropped about 5 pounds whoo! I am looking to lose at least 4-5 pounds this month, and if I lose more great!
I am 24 and am a PhD student training to be a psychologist. So between seeing clients, teaching classes, being a student and research it's been a challenge for me to find time to prep food and exercise.
As of today I weight 182.4 and am 5'4
Can't wait to start!
Happy March!
@amanikins11 Great start!! I think that finding your routine is most of the battle, and I know how tough it is, but you CAN do it!!

@genajonas Hi Gena! That is an exciting goal! I think having a goal like that helps to keep you motivated over time. Welcome to the group!!Hello, my name is Gena @genajonas and I am new to Team Slimson.
I have used MFP off and on for the past few years. I am 55 years old and have had a weight issue since 1999 when I had my daughter ( youngest of 3). I never had a weight issue before that, in fact, I had to eat constantly just to maintain my weight. I have been or should I say was always on the slim side so now that I need to limit what and how often I eat it is hard for me. My goal is to be able to compete in women's bodybuilding in the next two years so I need to lose fat and gain muscle. My current weight is 216.2 lbs as of this Wednesday. I need to drop 66 lbs of fat and gain 30 lbs of muscle. I workout with a personal trainer 5 days a week (looking to up it to at least 6 days or start doubles), my step goal is 20,000 steps a day looking to push it to 35,000. I am not new to this, life got in the way on my first two attempts but that is ok as it resulted in adding two beautiful children to my family so it was well worth it. Now it is mommy time!!!! Never to late to look sexy so I am going for the gold!!!!

Hi, I'm Brittany and this is my 6th month doing BLC (half a year, whoot whoot!). I'm a 5 ft even, 31 yo wife, mom of two young boys, and weight training is my exercise of choice with a recent love for sprinting (a quick and great fat burning exercise). My goals are:
-Workout at least 3 times per week
-Track all food daily
-Drink at least 60 oz of water
- Write down a positive thought or encouraging quote every morning to start the day off on a good note.
Lent starts Wednesday, so I am really recentering and focusing on what I want to accomplish spiritually, physically and mentally.

@Bm00re2u Welcome back Brit! It's always good sometimes to take a step back and re-focus, weight training is a great way to re-shape your body. Great goals, you got this!0 -
Hi everyone! Christi @cdc318 here. This is my first challenge and so excited to get started. I’ve been type 2 diabetic for a while and decided I’m tired of taking medication to control what my out of control eating was doing to my body. I’ve always been over weight but decided it’s way beyond time for a real change.
I want to
- log my food daily
- Stay under my calories
- Exercise daily
@cdc318 Hi Christi! Welcome! Diabetes is tough, but you've made the first steps in getting off your medication and taking control of your life back. Great goals, you got this!0 -

Feel free to friend me but please mention that your from Team Slimsons.
Track everyday, work out 4 out of 7 days a week, stay at or under 1500 calories a day, and stay positive.

@vicky2767 Welcome back Vicky!! The cholesterol debate is real right now. Studies recently have shown that what's been recommended for years isn't really fixing the issue. Low fat, low saturated fat, etc, doesn't seem to help cholesterol. And also there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, and hopefully you've had it tested and broken out like that because it does matter. Good luck with the nutritionist. Hopefully they can help!Hi everyone. Welcome to all the new and returning members. My name is Vicky. I’m 44, married with 2 teenage boys. I work PT helping my husband with his business. This will be my third months with this group. My preferred choice for exercise is jogging/running. I’ve been borderline high cholesterol for about 8 years now. Just recently I really started watching my carb intake and try to stay under 100 gms for the day. With this boderline high cholesterol I’ve been struggling to figure out what’s best for me diet wise. But I’m going to a nutritionist this week to get advice on what’s better for me.
Goals for this month:
Lose 6 pounds
Continue exercising 5-7 x week.
Track every day
Add more water.
Love your goals! You got this!

Hi all! 👋😊 My name is Nancy... I'm so happy to be rejoining the SLIMSONS again this month!💪🏻😅💦 (been here since August). I lost over 26lbs. since then with this awesome, motivational team!
A little about me...
Started my journey in January 2015 at 240lbs.(I'm 5' 8"). I lost 80 lbs. in 8 months and then reached my goal weight by June of 2016, a total of 90 lbs. after joining the gym and starting group x/spinning classes.
I'm just arriving back from vacation and my weight is most certainly up a lot after a week of eating and drinking (all-inclusive) island foods (and rum 🥥🥃🍹🍸🍷🥂🍾drinks 🤪😜😋)--
Goals for March:
🔹 Get back on track with IF this month, IF 4/3 (Sun/Tues/Thurs.) to detox this week
🔹 Drink at least 100 oz. water each day
🔹 Resume my workout schedule
🔹 Lower carbs to 50g or less on cardio days and 100g or less on weight training days
@SLIMn2016 We;come back Nancy! Hope your vacay was great, glad to have you back and glad that you got a reset and a chance to re-focus on your goals and rest your mind/body.1 -

I will be 41 on Monday, have 3 kids, and a husband who can lose weight at the drop of a hat.
I am determined to be in the best shape of my life before I turn 42.
@CourtneyLomonaco Welcome back and glad to see that you're taking the time to re-focus on your goals. It's sometimes really helpful to think about why you wanted to do this in the first place and it WILL be worth all of it when you get there.Beckymomof3girls wrote: »Hi! I’ve been part of this challenge since December. I’m a slow loser, it’s taken me since August to lose 20lbs, but this group has been super supportive and motivating!
Lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m a few steps behind in every aspect of my life. Hoping that in March I’ll be able to catch up. Good luck everyone and hope you all have a great month!!
@Beckymomof3girls Not to sound cliche but "Slow and steady wins the race." And myself, I tend to go through spurts where I lose a lot and then spurts where I lose nothing so, sometimes I think I'd just rather see consistent losses, even if they were small, but that's not how it works for me. But you're still here and still working on your goals, you WILL get there!CindyJNC1963 wrote: »Hello, I'm Cindy. I'm 56 years old and I have been overweight on and off most of my adult life. I've been in this group since November. I've lost 52 lbs since I joined MFP in October. I still have quite a ways to go....but I'm getting there. I currently work with a weight loss physician to help me set my calorie and weight loss goals.
One of my goals this month is to get in 7000 steps every day when I am at work (Monday through Thursday). On Saturday and Sunday I will ride my exercise bike at least an hour each day. Friday is my day off from everything exercise related (except for my weekly shopping trip). I was trying to walk at work AND ride my bike an hour after work every day and that just didn't work for me. I was getting too run down and tired. I've cut that down a bit. I plan to talk to my Dr. about it tomorrow.
A second goal I am going to continue working on is keeping my net carbs under 100 per day and my protein over 100. The carb part is tough for me.
Finally, I want to get out of the morbidly obese BMI range once and for all!! I'm almost there. That is my big goal for March.
@CindyJNC1963 Welcome back! You've made some really amazing and positive changes and you continue to do really well! You will hit that BMI goal in no time!!!0 -

Happy Monday Team!!
Today has been a bit of a catch up for me. I have been pretty busy this weekend, which is usually not the case. And car trouble (which shouldn't be happening with a new car) just set me behind. My husband wanted to get some new office furniture and re-do his office area (which is conveniently located next to my home gym) so I did heavy squats yesterday while helping him to put together and move his furniture. I still have to go clean up from that and finish putting everything back together after re-arranging things, you know, moving things around always gets worse before it gets better.
Trying this morning to get back into normal routine and back to the grind, but it's been tougher these last couple weeks and I'm trying to use March as a period of reset and re-focus so I can get to my goal weight, finally!!!
Welcome to March, let's crush it!!5
