    Been following this. Weighing mostly daily has been a huge breakthrough for me, I'm no longer avoiding the scale or the mirror. There's still apprehension but it gets easier.
    Great work!

    165.6 should have seen a better number but I ate half a bag of sunflower seeds yesterday and I have salt bloat!!! Maybe a lil muscle gain too!! Been going nuts with yard work!! Hubby has had me mowing and moving play group equipment!! Now that I'm stronger he really makes me work!! I can get the generator out with him now!!! I'm so much stronger than I was last summer at this time!! I finished half my full body portion of my calisthenics app!! Woo woo super excited!!! The scale may fluctuate but progress is still there!! Enjoy the journey learn and step up to meet your goals head on!!!! 💕💪💕💪

    I’ve been working out for 2 weeks on and off for 40mins
    I’ve been having a shake with kale and spinach every night for a month now
    And I haven’t lost any visible weight!! :( I’ve lost a tiny bit off my waist and my tummy isn’t as bloated but it really lowers my self esteem that no one has noticed this slight weight loss. Feels like all the hard work is not working and maybe I’m just seeing things :(

    I still think my scale is lying when I look in the mirror some days and I’m down to my lowest weight in at least 10 years. Trust the process. Also if others notice they may not be saying anything because then you’d know they’ve been looking 😉

    I have been making horrible food choices and I am at 167!!! Aaaaahhhh my head has been in my butt cave for three weeks now!!! Slowly getting better but I'm still not doing what I should!!! This time of year is busy and my family runs the show!! I gotta be strong and stay on track!!!

    This was a really fun thread to read. You are inspiring, and funny, and I loved seeing your progress over time. Seeing the snapshot of 2 months seems really quick and you were killing it on dropping those lbs. What gets me is how long/hard it seems during the daily slog and I take my eye off the prize. I'm trying hard to get back on the wagon and love seeing some success. Thanks for sharing!

    Those days without the tracking of calories, weight, etc should be good. I hope to hear about that moonshine when you return!

    My husband has banned me from stepping on the scale for 15 days because of my eating disorder history and I haven’t lost any weight. I’ve just gained and it’s driving me crazy.

    Have you heard of the Quantum Scale? It keeps track of your actual weight but it only shows you the number of pounds you have gained or lost. For some people weighing in is a huge anxiety. I think this would help with that.
