    It’s a good one isn’t it? I always look at it if I’m ever tempted to eat something I really shouldn’t. Keeps me on track and reminds me why I’m doing this! There’s another quote I love and it’s “Look in the mirror, that’s your competition” 💪💝

    ✅ Water: 215.6 oz.
    ✅ Steps: 21,339 / 11.02 miles

    🗣Comments: I tried a 🚴🏻‍♀️🔥🔥💥Spin Fusion class this morning—it’s an hour of TRX training combined with spin (tabata/climbs). I was nervous to try it—but I’m so glad I did—I loved it! So fun. Don’t be afraid to try something new at the gym or elsewhere—I try things at least once or twice and I am always surprised at what I end up enjoying.

    🤼‍♀️🤼‍♀️HAPPY APRIL TEAM SLIMSONS! 🤼‍♂️🤼‍♀️

    TODAY'S MOTIVATIONAL TIP: TOOLS🛠🥦🍎🥗


    It's April yea! So to begin things off I wanted to give you guys some help you tips that may motivate you or and spy you on this journey of yours. Everyone has their own journey pathway to weight loss. Some of us are just starting and others have been on this pathway for quite a while; no matter where you're at on your journey pathway we all may till need some new ideas or tips to stay inspired and motivated.
    So here is something I found online that I thought I share wuth you this morning:

    iu01fnbuak5q.jpg

    Remember getting healthy is more then just the physical part of your body but it's about your emotional pysche as well. So it's important everyday that you constantly build yourself up. STAY POSITIVE and repeat some positive affirmations in front of the mirror (e.g 'I AM BEAUTIFUL' 'I CAN DO THIS' 'I AM ENCOURAGE')

    Have a blessed and productive day ❤❤

    Regards,
    Glorious Gloria
    These are fantastic Gloria. Thank you for sharing. I made part of my journey last year to truly lesrn to love myself. So really loving the love yourself unconditionally and getting rid of the guilt.

    April

    Week #1

    Original starting weight: 273

    PW: 215.5
    CW: 209.6 (the scales cooperated extra nice this morning after being mean last week :) )

    I had to buy some new shoes to wear to work since I do a lot of walking on my breaks and at lunch. I needed some shoes with good support. These feel so much better. It will probably be better for my back and my feet.

    Happy April Fools Day everyone!!

    Fantastic loss Cindy! Hope your new shoes are more comfy.

    Good Morning Slimsons!

    I was off the grid, so to speak, all weekend. We went on our annual camping trip that we've named "Tent-A-Palooza: Making Memories". Ate too much, had too many alcoholic beverages, laughed a lot, loved every minute. 14 adults, 19 kids, and 3 dogs. Fun times.

    I'm back on it today and absolutely love the support I'm seeing in this group. I'm still nervous about having actually joined. My weakness is that I always start out strong and then let life get in the way. I don't want to let anyone down and feel I definitely need the support and accountability that's offered here. Hoping for a great April!

    Weigh day is Friday. Time to get tracking.
    Glad you had a good time camping. We go a lot during the summer. Never thought I’d like it, but I love it.
    No need to be nervous here. This is a great group. And this group is always so positive. Things happen, never feel sorry or like you would disappoint the group.
    You got this!!!!

    Hi all.

    Right 1st April.

    Got Spin class tonight. First one in years. Gonna hurt but I need it. Will weigh myself before I do it and post tonight. I’ve had a stumble and eaten some chocolate today so I must do better tomorrow.

    Need to drastically increase my water consumption too. I’m dreadful at drinking it.

    Good luck all 🙂

    Good luck on spin class. Tried a class once, biking is just not for me I guess. I much prefer to go running.

    @AB0215

    My weigh in for Monday, 4/1 is 218.4, which is +0.2 from my initial weigh in. Bummed, I had really hoped part of that weight was from my period.

    Didn't track yesterday.

    Did a bit of core strengthening yoga this morning and whoa was that hard. I'm doing a Darebee month long challenge with friends that also started today, so I'll be doing that tonight (30 mins cardio, leg exercises) and will continue doing that. I have my meals planned out for today, so the biggest challenge for me will be sticking to it and not just noshing randomly.

    @303lissy Hang in there, it is a normal part of the process. Especially when TOM is involved....

    Me too @vicky2767 ! I love that post @gjaholy33 --- to many times I've compared my progress--or lack there of--or my size/looks, etc. or condemned myself for not being where I thought I should be.

    POSITIVITY: Focus on all you have accomplished and love and be grateful for you!

    Exercise: Yes - walk away the pounds YouTube video.

    Had a good day, still trying to get off the carbs a bit more. I struggle with them a lot. Especially things like granola. It is hard to eat just the measured amount. I need to just kick it out of the house, but other family members like it and don't have that problem. I gave my willpower a pep talk for today, so hopefully it listens.

    💫 I love these positive quotes 💫

    I love them too!

    I have one that is on my computer monitor that says "Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most."
    Since I snack most at my computer.... this has helped me stay on track, because I don't want the snack as much as I want to hit my goals.
