-1.6lbs since May 7, -4.4lbs since May 1st!
I am logging everything. I'm still having some trouble meeting my water goals but I'm still working at it. I have been walking, too! My SO, our daughter, and I are playing a new Walking Dead AR game. Funny enough, it motivates me to walk around more/farther to get more zombies and collect more stuff. 😂
Great way to meet your fitness goals!!2 -

I gained like 30 pounds this last year over the course of a year-long relationship and sad breakup :-/ Now trying to ditch the alcohol I've been using to feel better, not only to ACTUALLY feel better, but also cut some of those empty calories. Big goals are to track every day, stay away from the beer, and get back into weightlifting at least 2x per week11 -

May goals: be consistent, workout and measure. I’m not writing a number because this time around on this journey my focus is eating right and working out not hitting a number by a certain day. My goal would be to be in the 220s but again if I lose 10 inches but have the same weight I’ll take that too!
Looking for as many like minded friends for this journey! Let’s do this!6 -
Ps I am vegan and I meal prep all my meals so if you’re looking for recipe ideas (I always am lol) add me 😊1

I’d like to join you all! Just starting my new journey today! Just bought a scale so no more excuses!

I’ll set a new goal once I’m under 200. I lost a lot of weight about 10 years ago doing P90x and I was at my fittest and happiest at 150. I’d love to get back there some day.
My May outlook is to concentrate on losing 5 pounds at a time, baby steps! Cut back on junk food and try not to eat after 9pm.8 -
Hi everyone!

I’m seeking motivation and accountability!
After losing my way for a little over a year, I’m hopping back on the fitness train. I want to feel better; I want to sleep better. And I know it's possible!
Long story short, I lost almost 90 lbs. and gained it all back. Life happened, stress, changes. The usual suspects. I could give you lots of excuses or reasons why but ultimately, I wasn’t practicing self-care, so when the stresses started to pile up, I lost my way.
Here I am, back at the weight I started at in 2014. I consider myself a work in progress and I am determined to complete this project...
My goals for May are to track everything I eat so it becomes a habit again and to move more to become more active. With Summer right around the corner. I am looking forward to it.
I need all the motivation and accountability I can get. So, add me and we can encourage each other!4 -

1. No eating after 8pm
2. Drink 64 oz. water every day

Started May at 257.
Saw 251 on the scale this morning.
Managed to hit 150 body weight squats a couple days ago.
Not bad for the beginning of the third week of May.
I'm coming up on a medication switch so hopefully that doesn't mess me up.5 -
Hello, everyone!
Last week I did great on exercise, not so great food-wise.
Strength train 2/2
Swim 3/3
Log all food 7/7
Stay within calorie limit 3/7
My goals for this week are gonna stay the same and I'm really gonna buckle down staying under/at my calorie limit for the day.4 -
I begin my journey (again for the 100th time) today .
SW: 229
CW: 229
GW: 175
My goals for this week and the rest of the month are to ; 1) Stay within my calorie limits. 2) Commit to my workout out routine; HIIT 6 days a week. 3) Be consistent in taking my vitamins and supplements everyday. I plan to only weigh-in once a month. In the past, I would weigh-in everyday and became addicted to the scale. Once I reach my goal I will probably weigh-in more frequently to hold myself accountable. Something about the anticipation of seeing a substantial weight loss once a month excites me. I will readjust my goals in June, based on the success/failures of this month.

Down 1 lb. from last week. The losses are little each day.. but honestly I don't care as long as it is in the right direction (DOWN!)
The first part of the week I struggled with sodium and carb intake (but needed quick and easy meals for 16 hour work days).
Second half of the week I made up for it with more vegetable based meals. Also NSV of avoiding binging on Mother's Day... just because it is a holiday. I seem to correlate holidays with excuses and reasons to eat whatever is in sight, as if calories don't count on those days.
I also made my diary viewable to my friends this week. Definitely think it holds me more accountable. Also think it helps others to see that no one is perfect and has an exactly ideal day of nutrition.
This week my goals are to eat one vegetable based meal per day, and to have a 7 day step total of 80k+.
Ladies, let's continue to crush our goals... not let the number on the scale dictate our self-worth, and look for some NSV's!

We all feel this way at times. Don't give up on yourself and try to focus on why you started in the first place. We are here for you!2 -

THIS.
Also, this may sound hoakey, but try some positive affirmations. Depression can make you think things that aren't true, and even though saying words does not make them real, I often find I get more of myself back when I say things opposite to how I feel about myself... even if I don't *think* I believe it, I am putting that energy in the universe just the same.
Affirmations can be as simple as saying "I am worth doing this, and worth it even more every time I slip up." Or "I am letting go of every desire to criticizes myself" don't let your depression have the last word. It isn't a cure or a band-aid, but a hoakey silly thing that slowly gives you a perspective Depression can remove from your psyche. Good luck and good work so far, even just being here is monumental!3 -
