    I’d love to join. I’m Lori, started working from home during lockdown and regained 7lbs of the 14 I’d lost before it. 🙄

    I’m feeling quite motivated but love reading other people’s stories of success to spur me on. I started back last week and lost 2lb.

    SW. 174
    CW. 172
    Mini goal back in the 160s by mid-June
    GW 133-140

    Just getting back to tracking as I have stopped for a few years now. After having my first son, want to lose the weight I have gained (actually gained back what I lost right after having him). Working from home during quarantine hasn't helped-hello pantry and fridge mindless snacking!! Started daily walks and hoping to get back into my running soon.

    SW/CW: 187.6
    MG: under 180 by the end of June
    GW: 125-130

    May I join you all, even though it’s May? I’m from Canada, a mom of 3, one with special needs. I’m also a teacher, trying to hold it together supporting learners at home just now. I’m also the heaviest I have ever been! Too long holding into the “baby weight.”. Needs to end!

    Looking to lose 45 by year end (hopefully sooner but I want to be considerate of plateau and reduced weight loss as I get smaller). Ultimately I need to lose 75.
    I have an old neck injury, while I had surgery my body gets irritated when I use my right arm. So my focus is eating healthy, walking, and anything else I can modify during quarantine to not use my right arm over my head.

    Sounds like we have some of the same goals and stats! I need some motivation to run again......

    I love the couch 2 5K program-its free and you do it at your own pace--alternate walking/jogging as you build up endurance. I just need to make time to get started. I used races in the past to motivate me but with everything being cancelled my motivation is lacking

    I weigh-in Fridays. Averaging about a pound a wk. Really wish it were 2 lbs/wk but I only have myself to blame. Not exercising daily and not tracking is not helpful. Gonna do better this new wk.

    Weeks ago...I said I wanted to join you all...and even though I'm on every day, I rarely visit the forums. Early in my time here, there was I terrific group I was active with but it eventually died. This seems like such a terrific group. I'll try to do better...

    Original SW: 230
    Goal: 140
    After a year: 160
    Took a break from trying to lose, but continued to log...but didn't actually maintain. Got lazy, stupid crap interfered...gained a bunch back.
    Current: 210 🙁

    Goal: 140
    Benchmarks: 200 by Aug 1; 190 by Nov 15.

    Excited to see a bunch of educators on here! I'm in ed, too, but I do staff training on reporting ed data. Teaching is a tough field but SO important!

    I had blood work this week for fatigue and everything came back normal, so it must be something I’m doing or not doing. Getting frustrated!! 😬😩
    When I feel run down and fatigued all the time, I add a Vitamin B complex and Vitamin D3 to my regimin for a couple days. It always seems to help...might all be in my head...I feel better because I've DONE something or I feel better in self defense (hate B complex, smells gross to me...I'm kinda sensitive to smells). Sometimes I add iron...that can help too...
    Hope you start feeling better!

    Good morning everyone and happy Saturday!

    Not sure what the weekend means under these weird circumstances... but I wanted to ask all of you if being home and quarantined (unless you are working out there instead of at home in which case I say thank you) has affected your eating habits. For me, it’s been confronting because food is always just right there. But I’ve tried to eat healthy and provide healthy food for my family. There’s no distracting myself through my teaching day.

    But... last summer I was successful in losing weight because I had time to focus on it and do this stuff... log my food, connect with fine folks like you all, think about why it matters to me. I’m a teacher so I’m lucky to have that time in the summer.

    Anyway, the weekend is also a chance to take that time and to focus on exercise. It can be an opportunity as well as a challenge. What’s it like for all of you... work days vs. days off in terms of your habits?
