I'm embarrassed to say I've gained again. For some reason when I get near 240, I can't seem to get below it and I start gaining again. Life happens and I still use food to cope with stress. A few years ago I was up to 267 so I know I can make progress, it's just so slow and a setback (a gain) just is so discouraging. Pardon my rant! Plus my birthday is coming and I have weddings to attend in November, so I'm feeling some self-imposed pressure, which sometimes can backfire, I think. Sorry I have not been helping the team much. I'll get more walking in this week.
We all have set backs. I know all to well about stress eating. What matters is that you keep moving forward! You got this!! We are all here for you! Don't let anything discourage you from achieving your goals, just keep pushing forward! The only thing that matters is you don't give up don't ever be embarrassed it's part of life it's what makes us human! Message if you ever need to! Keep on keeping on 🙂0 -

Just getting started... definitely not the right direction. I just quit my job of 9.5 years and moving on to a new job. Lots of anxiety and fear with this big change. And anxiety & fear = more food in my mouth.

I just carried 40 pounds of dog food into the house and realized that I used to carry that extra weight around all day, every day. Actually, I'm down the equivalent of 2 bags from my highest weight. So glad it's gone and looking forward to losing the next 40.3

I remember picking up my 50 lb suitcase and thinking, hold crap, how the heck did I carry that on my body, every single day, for so long? You've come so far. Truly incredible dedication on your part.2 -

Woohoo! Got my official time from my 5K today. Time:26:45. (8:40 per mile pace) 29th place out of 185 women entrants. 4th place for my age group, lol. Turns out this woman and I kept passing each other the whole race and she finished 3 seconds ahead of me took 3rd in our age group. Had I known I even had a CHANCE at placing, it would have been ON 😂. Now that I know I can run this fast, I'm BRINGING IT next year. 😎
I'm so happy and amazed by my progress this year. I honestly never thought I would be able to achieve all I have. I beat my fastest 5K time by 3 whole minutes. A few days before that I beat my fastest half marathon time by 9 minutes. My head is spinning. I knew I was holding back my effort during my training, but I had no idea that I could pull that out of my pocket on race day. Losing weight to run faster is really helping. And I love that my weight loss just feels so different because before I was doing it, "not to be fat" anymore. But now that I'm doing it to increase my athletic performance, it just feels better. I was determined before, but now I want to be the best athlete I can be!

@aAB0215 I messaged you asking about the weigh ins and didnt get a reply. Please check your in box. Tha is Eleanor0 -
So this may be a little silly but I'm kinda excited about it. Bout a month ago I ordered a variety of chokers online and loved them all there was about 12 in the pack of different kinds but when I got them they weren't long enough to go around my neck so I had to go buy some necklace extenders to wear them. Well I put one on today and I no longer need the extenders!!! So I'm super excited! It's the small victories that mean so much!5
