    Question of the Week:
    2 part question:
    What is one thing you did well this week and one thing you could do better for next week?

    I did well by tracking my food every day and being honest with myself.
    Better: being more accountable with my workouts and not relying in my partner to go in order for me to go.

    I didn't want to weigh in this morning, but knew I had to for this challenge. I'm glad I did. My one day from purgatory yday could have affected my entire weekend, but weighing today made me realize it's ok. Just get back on it and focus.

    Here's to letting go of the negative, focusing on the positive and making intentional positive decisions.

    Grateful more than ever for this challenge and accountability.

    So glad that I read your post before I posted as I was focusing on the negative..... need to let it go as it is weighing me down.....literally......emotion eating.

    I actually made it under 183 lbs today. woohoooo. That gives me a 90 lb weight loss over the last year. I have been a updating my pic after every 20 lb loss....but I'm switching it to every 10 lbs. It took forever to get this last 10 lbs off..

    Awesome

    I'm a bit late because I didn't know how the notications work, first time in a MFP challenge, so this is a little late introduction

    My name is Rory Dixon and I am loosing weight for my self, my mother and my girlfriends and our future.

    I have always been overweight all my life and now I am on my 15th day streak I feel confident I can finally do this, I am sick and tried literally of making excuses for my self and just get on with it, I want to show my mother who also struggles with weight loss it is possible without restricting and difficult diets.

    My mom would be joining me but her phone is too outdated to use mfp.

    My current weight at the moment is 18.11 stone and has been for 3 days, which is a relief really because when I started my diet 15 days ago I was loosing a pound a day, and today my jeans fit me which didn't at the start of the year.

    I take my daily thigh, waist around my belly button and hip measurements on Friday and weight my self to check in on Monday.

    I always like having more friends and feel free to add me.
    Welcome. You got this!

    Kinda disappointed especially with me cutting back to under 1,000 calories but not really surprising since I cannot workout like I want with the exception of core strength stretching but at least I didn't gained but I did lose inches because my dresses are dragging the floor. So I am progressing

    Tried my homemade ice cream recipe it's not bad for my 1st try but will add coconut cream to it to see if it thickens as it's more like a protein peanut butter and pecan ice than ice cream.

    @gjaholy33 This is going to sound funny considering what mainstream health and fitness would have us believe about calories in vs calories out, but I don't lose weight when I cut below 1000 calories and believe me, I have done this more times than I care to admit in the name of weight loss...and I'm small, only 4;10" tall so you'd think I'd need less intake and that less intake from there would produce weight loss but that is just not how it happens for me, and right now I'm actually eating more food than I've eaten in months...and the scale seems to be responding nicely to that change so...that may be something to consider. I guess sometimes there is a point where it's too low...and your body tries to hang onto every little thing you're taking in to preserve itself. Weight loss is a fickle thing..just saying. And then there's water retention that plays it's role and you can lose inches and still not lose weight so that's also something....

    Took a rest day, it was the day after my long run. I had nothing left in me. I had to walk my dog in the morning but since I pretty much slithered along the path, I'm not even going to try and call it exercise. :D

    So here is a photo from my race. What I want to talk about is the difference between how good I felt about myself before the race, and how different I felt after seeing this photo.

    Before the race: I'm nervous. Everyone is looking at me. Are they looking at me because I clearly don't look like them? Are they looking at me because I'm totally rocking my running outfit? Well, I don't care. I AM rocking my look and I look good. I look like a runner.

    After seeing my race photo Oh my god, is that really how I look? I look so bottom heavy. My thighs look too big. I don't look like the other runners. Maybe that's why everyone was staring at me. Maybe they thought I was too fat to be a runner. Maybe they doubted I could finish. I don't look like a runner.

    I HATE that after working for so long and so hard to lose 82lbs, my mind still goes there. I just achieved a great personal accomplishment and in one moment, I went from pride, self love and self acceptance, to such self criticism, negative self talk and almost shame. Just...be good to yourselves. However far you've come, and however far you still have to go. You are beautiful (yes, the men too), and you are worth it. Don't compare yourself to others. There's only one you, there's only one me. Are you trying harder today than you did maybe a year ago? A week ago? The fact is, we are HERE, we are trying every day to improve our health. We may never have the body we hoped for, or dreamed of, even after all the weight is lost. Are you stronger than you were yesterday? Are you still here tying? Then be proud. A single photo or a number on the scale will never define us or tell us who we are. I think who we are is pretty darn awesome. I'm going to Choose to focus on that. <3
