Beach Countdown 32 days and 10 lbs

Hi Friends,

I had to buy a new scale this weekend and thought it was time to use it. I have been slack for a longer than I wanted so I am creating a new thread (Tracey's inspiration) to get at least 10lbs off in 32 days (leaving for the beach). I had a feeling my old scale was off after weighing 10lbs of potatoes on it and it not being accurate. Oh well! I love the new one even though I wasn't thrilled with the number.

My current weight is 174. My goal is to be at 164 in 32 days. With following strict OMAD and limiting the amount of damage done on the weekends this can be done. My body has adjusted to spinning and I can confirm that I have lost inches because some of my recent clothes purchases were smaller in size (Mediums and a size 12 in some jeans/capris).

Happy Monday Ya'll let's OMAD on :D<3

    Oh i love a new scale. It took me about a year to invest in fitbit aria 2 but i'm loving it since I bought it. I'm sure you will get to the goal and will enjoy the beach in a months time! B)

    Hi Friends,

    Still crazy busy right now at work and don't see it slowing down until after vaca.....

    Weigh in today was decent, down to 173 so a solid 1lb loss ---prob would have been more but last night's meal was more sodium than usual so once that gets flushed out I think it will be more, I may weigh again tomorrow just for funsies :).....

    Stay strong and healthy ya'll ---Happy Happy Friday!!!!! B)

    Nice babe! I admire your SUPER positive attitude after your scale gave you the middle finger...It would've knocked my spirit a bit but NOT MY DONNA <3

    Thanks dear it was a shock at first but I think the clothes shopping validated it wasn't all about the number more about the look and the smaller sizes :).....I am keeping up and moving on......

    The scale never tells the whole story. I believe the clothes and yours are speaking truth. Keep up the good work

    I totes agree...I have a little bit of OCD tendencies so I get a little neurotic about the number but I look in the mirror and KNOW I"m much much smaller than I was <3

    It's still a loss and congrats on that👍❤️
    Loosing inches is also a sign that our bodies are getting smaller and that's weight loss too👍 I believe the whoosh will come soon👏👍❤️

    Hey kids!
    Hope you all are staying healthy! Has been and will be crazy busy at work until after vaca. We are also moving to a new office space (right across the hall) next week so that adds to the pressure.....I have not caved into stress eating yet, even though some amazing bacon maple doughnuts are in the office next door......I am just trying to ignore them....But friends, have you ever had maple and bacon anything?? <3 Pretty close to heaven I would say..... <3

    Okay ---dinner last night was some poblano peppers and stir fried rice, amazing. Planning to grill some steaks and veggies tonight and really trying to be extra good this week to shed more than a lousy pound....

    Stay strong ya'll..... <3

    Hi ya'll,

    Happy pre 4th to you! Plan on weighing early tomorrow prior to the long 4th weekend. Our offices are closed the rest of the week which is so awesome!! So super nice 4 day weekend although it will be super busy. 4th party grill out tomorrow with friends/fam coming over, Friday lots of errands to run, Saturday my youngest has his end of season baseball party at the pool, and Sunday is church and preparation four our VBS which is next week.

    Monday --our office is moving into new office space which is super nice!!! But that will be such a busy work day getting all set up........whew!

    Enjoy the 4th! Hugs to everyone! <3
