I have tried to post other things on other forums but I don’t see my posts and don’t know where to find them. SO, I’m hoping that I’m doing this right!
Ok so I’m starting again. Got down to 185 from 263 and have gone back up to 210. Ugh

Help! 😁
Thank you for the motivation!8 -
Small May update: hit 120 squats yesterday. Only five away from my goal in the first week, I obviously need to set the bar higher. So I'll say 175 by end of month.
Kinda went off the rails with my calories on the weekend though. Today will be a lighter day.6 -
I survived my first weekend as a mfper and I feel good. I ate a lot of treats but I logged everything and stayed active!
May goals: week 1
Workout 30 mins 6x a week ✔️
Log every meal, good or bad ✔️
Drink my water goal! Every day but Sunday, I still got to 80oz though 😁9 -
Here's hoping joining this May group will help keep me accountable and off the binge-wagon!

Goal weight for May is to get under 200 and stay there, darnit! I tend to relax in a big (overeating, unhealthy eating) way once I reach any goal, so with your help, I plan to keep progressing towards the long-term goal and not sabotage myself yet once again.
All the best to everyone in this group!

Weekly goals for May:
Still going good on logging.
Still haven't started incorporating any HIIT and it's hit or miss with 10000 steps a day.
Also playing around with intermittent fasting this month. Starting out with 16:8 but today is looking like it might be a 24 hr fast/OMAD because I didn't get up to eat breakfast this morning.
Def. feeling stalled on weight loss. Not sure if Im eating too little or went too overboard a few days.4 -
Second week of May check-in...
Feb 2019 SW: 222
May 2019 CW: 205 (-2 lbs last week)
2019?? GW: 160
Last week, I FINALLY broke through a stall in weight loss that I was stuck at throughout April. So many times I wanted to give up and throw in the towel, but glad I didn't. Trying to stay consistently (around) my calorie goal and upping my movement if I want to splurge here or there.
Lunch time continues to be my trickiest time of day... I just want to eat allllll the food... I'm guessing sub-consciously so I can get through my day with enough energy? Not quite sure how to stop that habit...
Working two 16 hour days back to back today and tomorrow, so hoping that I can get through this week with another loss despite not getting enough sleep.
My goals this week:
M-F step count total of 60k or above
Not going out to eat until Friday (planned pizza party)
Let's do this ladies!

Sigh....so I've been in a slump the last month. I finally started to see progress and it was so fulfilling. Then I started to cheat and cheat some more, and find excuses not to work out. I'm sad, but I'm hoping I can turn it around again in May.
May goals:
Ride bike M,T,Th,F
Log EVERYTHING
Stay under calorie count
DO NOT NIGHT SNACK. One piece of fruit only before bed.

So, I have really messed myself up. Was doing great! (Don’t know if I’m repeating). Got down to 185 and was ecstatic! Then hit a plateau. A plateau that lasted a year! No matter what I did the scale didn’t move. Everyone was saying “you’re building muscle, so the scale may not move.” and such things. This I know. However 185 is hardly a safe weight health wise for me (I am 49 and I had fatty liver disease and pre-diabetes), unless I’m a body builder, which I am not.
Yesterday I just completely lost my mind and drank beer...lots of beer, and ate just the worst foods ever.
Today I beat myself up. Then decided to stop beating myself up, and instead pick myself up. People on these communities have been AWESOME in helping me feel like I can do it!
Last I checked I was back up to 210.
Because of what I have been doing to myself and specifically what I did to myself yesterday, I was up at 2am and came right to MFP to get some support. Then after getting my daughter off to school I slept until noon. Unheard of for me. SO, it is now 1:40-ish and I haven’t eaten yet. After I go get my daughter from school I will eat light, but many times until I have met my cal count.
I think I talked too much! Sorry!
Thanks for this community!!7 -
Survived Derby without eating a ton of garbage. I’m still pretty psyched. Down 43 lbs since November. Really want to lose 7 pounds (or more) by my friend’s wedding June 1!

43 down. 7 to go! Great job!! You can do it!!2

I know I'm a little late but I did start on 4/30!
I've been super motivated and ready to do this, I'd love some support!

Hi! New here. Looking for motivation and accountability buddies. Please add me!
SW: Not sure... will weigh myself in the morning. My guess is 240-250

Stuck to the fitness - stuck to my red meat once a week, no chips - winning there! Need to tighten the daily calories down about 200 a day to be on better track. All in all, an OK week. Stress levels are a little high, need to bring them down a little. Missed a performance bonus at work by 0.13 % bummed out about that - grrrr.4

Starting my journey again
CW: 221
GW:170
My goal overall is to lose weight to be healthier. To cut out sweets and eat less carbs. To exercise at least an hour 5 days out of the week.4 -
SW: 250
CW: 214
GW: 150
Goals for May:
Get more involved in strength training, continue to eat on the deficit I've been eating at since March 28th, hopefully drop below 210.
Goals for the Long-Term:
Keep up exercise, tracking and eating well. Don't slack off and gain everything back.
Set-backs as of 5/7:
Carrying about 6 pounds of water weight (putting me back at 220) from hormone changes (hi, aunt flo, you dirty little-) the start of strength training (muscle repair, etc.) and having too much sodium/carbs yesterday for dinner (chicken and biscuits, whoops). Water weight really is my worst enemy.3 -
Glad I ran across this thread!...

Started January this year working out 6 days a week alternating with weights and cardio. My May goal is to eat healthier. In the past month I've fallen off eating healthy and counting my calories... one weekly cheat meal has turned to two or three a week in the past month. Hoping to be at 239/240lbs by the end of the month.7 -
