Women 200lb+, Let's Have an Amazing August!!!

♥️🧡💛 Welcome to the August group! 💛🧡♥️

One month left of summer, so let's finish it off right!

In this group, we share our weekly/monthly goals, provide encouragement, and discuss the ups and downs of our weight loss journeys.

I originally started the "Women 200lb+, Let's ____" group to give myself some accountability. It's helped me to become more aware of patterns in my exercise and food rountines and has let me see when I'm slacking off. I'm so glad that so many of you have found this group and that we can all help motivate each other!

☀️☀️☀️Let's have an amazing August!!!☀️☀️☀️

    At the moment, it’s hard to think of goals since I was up all night sick and my current goal is to keep down the chicken noodle soup I had a few minutes ago 😬

    In June I managed to get strep twice and pneumonia followed by bronchitis and all the illnesses and steroids and medications in less than a month sent my system haywire. I went from perfectly fine blood pressure and blood glucose to dangerously high over just a few days 😢. So my main goal in August is to continue to get those numbers stabilized and lowered. I want to be able to get back off the bp meds at some point. I’m hoping to keep the Metformin, though, even when my blood glucose lowers, because I’ve been insulin resistant for over twenty years and the only time I loose weight and am not constantly hungry is when a doc prescribes Metformin. Most doctors would not because my blood glucose was okay, hence the starting weight 😖. Whether I exercised for hours and ate 1200 calories a day or barely exercised and ate whatever I wanted, it didn’t matter—I gained slowly but surely 😒

    Hang in there!!!👍😊

    @cmsavells Connie, I have gout, too. The pain is on a level all its own. I've lost one toe to gout. Hopefully, I can keep the rest. 😉

    Hi All, new to the chat

    Last year I worked hard to lose weight through diet and exercise I got all the way down to 142 in March of 18. Then I stopped eating low carb to get pregnant, gained 20 lbs in a few months, got pregnant. I started the pregnancy at 161. My baby is now 11 weeks old and I'm ready to work harder on my eating and start exercising again.

    August goals, get down to 174 (overweight and not obese)
    Start 21 day fix after our vacation.
    Cut out extra sugars. No ice cream, I'm a sugar addict and need to stop sugar again.

    Long term goal, get in better shape again so I can do Rugged Maniac in June 2020

    I also just got back from vacation and gained 4 pounds! So I need to be diligent about eating under my calorie goals and walk it off.
