Weigh in week: May Week 1
Weigh in day: Friday
Previous Week's weight: 196.8
Todays Weight: 197.6
I will trust what I am doing, and still working on getting back in the the groove of my routine. Pushing forward and looking to next weeks weigh-in with a loss. I am not going to let this get me down!
@jlbtnc, loving your mindset! Some weeks, we can do everything right, and the scale still goes up slightly. After all, it is just a snapshot in time. Your weight could come down again tomorrow! Like you said, trust that you are doing all the right things and it will happen for you if you keep on pushing forward!!1 -
5/2:

Weigh in
Last: 247.7
This: 247.2
It isn’t much but I was expecting a gain this week. Honestly I deserved a gain after the way I ate and drank for 4 days. But then sometime I work my butt off and the scale doesn't cooperate. I really think intermittent fasting is helping me along. Now only if I would stop ‘weekend sabotaging’ all my good work during the week, I might be much lower on the scale
@erikNJ, love your realism as you analyze this week's weigh-in. Well done an four solid days and a half pound loss.2 -

Tracked: Yes
Under: Yes
Exercise: Yes, 39 minutes c25k(week 3 day 1)
Somewhere in the middle of my c25k workout, I accidentally skipped through a walk session about 30 seconds after it startes(I was supposed to walk for 3 minutes), so I just continued and started running again. I decided after the last 3 minute walk, I was going to see how long I could run for without having to stop. I ran through the 5 minute cool down, and then started the stopwatch on my phone. I ran for 12 minutes and 57 seconds without stopping. Then I finished up walking to cool down a bit! I felt really good about that!
Today I DID go and get a pedicure, and it was amazing! It was a lavender one, with hot stones and paraffin wax... now my toes look *kinda* girly for a change! The massage chair that I was in for the duration of the pedicure felt amazing as well! I also ended up getting my fingernails done as well, and I got a nice back/neck massage after I was done! I felt very pampered in there!
We also went to lunch before the nail salon. I had a buffalo chicken salad and we shared onion rings. Also, ended up making homemade pizza for dinner and everything fit nicely in my diary with a little wiggle room if I decide to have a snack!
And l was trying some of my clothes on today, and some things that used to fit me pretty horribly look pretty good now! Some jeans are too big, and even some of my shirts! I do have a Uconn shirt that I got last summer that didn't fit at all, and now does! Woohoo!
Today was just a pretty good day overall and I wanted to share!
You are rocking it! Congrats on the run, and good on you for the pampering Have a great weekend! 1 -

@Tracie_Lord, your new Fitbit is really getting a workout these days!! Look at all those active minutes!
I love it!!! you really need to invest its so good to monitor your progress
@Tracie_Lord, I do have a Fitbit, I have just taken it off while I am having my foot issues. I know full well I am sitting on my butt right now, and I didn't need a gadget reminding me of that!! Mine is a three year old Charge HR. I would like to upgrade when I decide to get back into moving. There was a group from here doing Fitbit Challenges. @cmhubbard92, is that still happening? Maybe Tracie, or anyone else with a Fitbit would like to join?
Sorry I misunderstood I think you were asking about the versa a few weeks ago1 -

Weigh in day- Thursday
Previous- 181.3
Current- 184
I guess I’m doing the roller coaster @ mickey10111 but mind is not in my favor this week. Here lately I’m been doing my exercises and over and under my calorie deficit on some days more over lately. Not to sound self pity but my motivation has been down. I really want to give this month a break. I’ve be been in this weight range waaay to long and I don’t know what to do to break out it.
I completely understand. I've been in that same weight range for the last 5 months and I am feeling the same way.
I cycle through having tons of motivation to feeling super hungry and having no energy. So I am not always as good as staying under or doing my exercises. I've been considering taking off a month because I feel like I am not at all contributing to the team, but I'm afraid if I do that then I'll just go straight up. Down and up seems better than just up. I don't know what to do to break out of it either.3 -
Friday weigh in
May 3
Pw: 203
Cw: 201.6
At least I am going the right way and got some motivation back.
Thank you to all who post in this group, without you I would have thrown in the towel.
I dont have a fitbit, but do have a garmin. Anyone else here have a garmin we could connect on?4 -
Mini Challenge
Thursday 5.2.19
No to all
The a/c is still broken, so we've been sitting around with popsicles and I have been drinking more soda than I should. Water is just not refreshing for me on hot days. I also pulled a muscle in my back. I groan and moan every time I make the slightest move, which meant no exercise. I'm resting up and hoping to be able to have a much better week starting Sunday.3 -

@brandi_84, not even water with ice cubes, or lemon slices? Is it at least diet soda? You can always come up here until your AC gets fixed...we still have the heat on during the day! Do your best, but don't wait until Sunday to do it!! Hope the back feels better soon. (hugs)1 -

@Coral333, have a splendid holiday, Coral, and soak in as much sun as you can! Sounds like there is not much sun at home for you right now.
Thank you! You're right, no sun and very chilly at home just now so I'm soaking up that vitamin D!
