@cyndiesstuff did you see my weigh-in from Saturday? I posted it, but I saw you tagged me as being late. I just want to make sure you saw it, thanks.
I know, I had a rough week with my food and exercise last week. I am shaking it off, resetting this month!

Hello everyone! I started reading the posts from March, really going to try to keep up with everyone!
My name is Kirsten, I am 47 years old, will be married for 20 years in June, work full-time, I have 2 sons, 18 & 14. I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I lost a significant amount of weight when I was 21 years old, not sure the exact amount, but I would say 60-70 pounds. I have kept most of it off, but I have those stubborn pounds that are just hard to keep off. It has gotten harder as I have gotten older, just turned 47 in January and I am peri-menopausal. I refuse to give up! I am also a Lifetime member of WW. I am currently over my WW goal, I have to lose about 13 pounds to be back within goal, but I want to lose about 25 pounds and I think I will be at a good weight.
It is now less than 3 months until Memorial Day Weekend and my time frame to get back to goal is slowly dwindling. I decided I am getting these pounds off! No excuses! I was somewhat good over the weekend, especially yesterday, my weight is the same from Saturday. I prepped and planned for today. I ate well and I am going to workout when I get home. NO EXCUSES!!!!
Have a wonderful day & week! 6 -

February Week 01
201.6 lbs - I have been comfort eating for over a week now and gaining rapidly. I hope I can reign it in.2 -
@cyndiesstuff - well, I don't know what size I ACTUALLY was, as I was too busy stuffing myself into a 38DDD, and STILL overflowing. I was too embarrassed to buy anything bigger. The doctor took 6 pounds out of each breast, and I now wear a 36C!2

@kirsten11872 yup. I got it. Were going to rock march. Try making a 24 hour plan the day before. I made my plan for tomorrow this morning. It looks like this
Apple and Cheerios
Salad with tuna
Deli roll
Chicken stir fry
Raspberries
10k steps
60 oz water
Only put on your plan what you are 90% sure you will do. Then at the end of the day reflect how you did. The more you stick to your plan the more momentum you create.
@hope002 you look amazing!!
@eminater thats ok. Just a small gain. Start now. Its time to show up for yourself. You can do this. And you, my dear are the only one that can reign it in.
@twyla77 whoa girl you were lop sided just like me!!

@Mrsbell8well you are so cute! i love seeing those photos - such progress!1

@cyndiesstuff I love your 24 hour plan. I do plan our suppers but I don't usually meal prep to that extent. I should start doing that.
@Mrsbell8well Your transformation is really inspiring! Love your pics!
@hkfleming I did StrongLifts 5x5 for a while and loved it. Ended up hurting my shoulder and discontinued it but holy cow I got so much stronger and toned so fast! Welcome to the group!
Anyone here make their own zucchini chips? I'm confused about the calorie options in MFP. Here's what I did: I sliced 1.5 zucchini super thin, then sprinkled them with a little garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. No salt. Baked at 240 for 2+ hours until they were dried out and really crisp.
MFP says anything from 61 calories to over 120 for a serving, and there's little rhyme or reason as to why.
I'd say I ate about half a zucchini, but without breading or Parmesan or anything. I went with 61 cals, because I can't imagine it could be more than that.
I'm also at about 940ish calories for the day and feeling full as a tick. MFP will yell at me if I try to complete my day under 1,000. I seriously don't want to eat any more, though.
Morning: Fit & Active weight loss shake and coffee with cream
Lunch: Hickory smoked ham, collard greens, and dirty rice
Snack: about 6 cheddar and sour cream chips
Supper: BLT and oven-baked zucchini chips
I'm well on my way to over 90 oz of water, and haven't exercised yet but was planning on some light yoga later. Not really enough to count.
Hope everyone had a great Monday!!!4 -
Today, is the official two month anniversary of prioritizing at least 20 minutes of exercise each day - two straight months, I haven't missed a single day, even when the gym was closed for a week or when the weather was below zero. And now I know I CAN do it even on a day when I'm literally on the road for over twelve hours or when the gym is closed or the weather is horrible, so I have no excuses any other time!
I ate and kept well under calories for the day. I keep meals simple on weekdays (prioritizing protein, vegetables and some fruit), and I generally don't have cocktails or higher calorie treats. On weekends, I still hit my goals, but I have to be more creative so I can enjoy a little more flexibility. So far, that's working fine for me, and it feels like it it will be very sustainable when I finally arrive at maintenance.
Got in a 50 minute walk on the treadmill today. Tomorrow, I'll have to be bold and go join the new gym - it will be fine, but going to a new place is always a little intimidating right at first. It's a significantly better gym, though, and very geared to bodybuilding and power lifting, so I'm excited. Just not having to queue for the single squat rack or bench will be thrilling.....
I hit my 10,000 step goal, too.8 -
@GingerPwr I'm sorry about your shoulder. Have you found some form of strength training now that you like?
I'm glad to know you found Stronglifts beneficial, though. I think it's going to be a lot easier at my new gym, more equipment and more options - I'm hoping the fixed weight barbells might help me dial in my bent over rows, for example.1 -
@hkfleming I'm not doing any one program, but I do love free weights over weight machines, so I work in a couple of strength training days a week. Trying to balance between light running, strength, HIIT and yoga.5

can you guys add me back to the team? I promise to log my weight on time 2

All the ladies that posted transformation pics! Wow awesome job!!! Whether you’re down 10 or 40, it’s a big difference!!! Let’s keep on going spring is very close and summer too
I may post my pics later but they are in underwear lol don’t want to get banned for showing too much skin
Welcome @hkfleming! Hope you’re gonna like the team, it’s a great group of very sweet and supportive people! Seems like you got your plan and it’s working. Good job!
@GingerPwr I second this! I like free weights better than machines. It’s harder for us beginners but I believe it’s def superior...
We have a very decent home gym and I have to say I love that! Privacy and everything. I love working out alone
@cyndiesstuff and @twyla77 oh ladies! I’m so jealous you got breast reduction!!!
small boobs are so much better haha
I currently wear 34ddd. I was 36g < <yikes> when I started. I lost a lot from my boobs and have some loose skin, plus still too big to comfortably do some excercises. Maybe one day!
