    Considering what has been happening, I am shocked!!! I guess it is the extra non exercise “work” I’ve been doing.

    I just helped a friend chop and drag 4 fallen trees and multiple wheel barrows of debris. It doesn’t register as much on Fitbit, but I am WHIPPED!!!

    I’m sure your getting lots of exercise. Glad everyone is well.

    I’m way over calories today but it was worth it. An old friend came to visit and we had a lovey dinner. All healthy except the margarita which pushed me over my calories.

    One day will not ruin all your progress.
    Just like one day did not make you overweight!

    I hope it’s not too late to join this challenge. One week ago I had my second daughter; two babies in two years has absolutely killed my body. I’m breastfeeding which seems to help some with the weight loss, but I am unable to exercise for 5 more weeks.

    SW: 182.4
    Mini Goal: 160-Hopefully by December 2020
    Goal Weight: 140-hopefully by July 2021

    Tuesday weigh in:
    201.6 The same weight as last week. My weight has been going up and down all week so ending on the same number is better than going up I guess.

    So nervous to make my first post! I've been reading some of this thread and I hope by joining I will have something positive to add and some support to receive along the way, as I know it won't be smooth sailing. Generally good health as an adult is starting to break down due to lack of self-care and focus on prioritizing my needs and I find myself staring down prediabetes numbers in my mid-forties. Suddenly my "far-off future self" feels terrifyingly present and way less amorphous than before, so hopefully this will be the motivation I need to keep me going this time long after the pounds come off. And I can't pinpoint why exactly I am reluctant to discuss any of this--even the little wins--with anyone in my IRL circle. Maybe it's the fear of failure, or that sometimes people get weird about weight loss ... But hopefully a weekly check-in with someone besides myself will help me feel accountable and inspired to push through when the going gets rough. Thank you in advance for your hospitality. :)

    Hello, I just joined premium and was wondering if people are still using this chat. I would love some motivational buddies to check in with.

    I have 90+ pounds to lose and am also the heaviest I have ever been. Before Covid I was actually going to the gym, doing yoga daily and making some small progress. I really need some motivating friends to help me get back to my goals. Once Covid is over I want to go back to ballroom dancing, but now I am too out of shape/my joints hurt so I get easily discouraged. Look forward to making progress with all of you!

    PW (Previous Weight): 191.7
    CW (Current Weight): 189.8
    LTD (Loss to Date): 17.2

    Under 190 and closing in on the 20-lb mark. I started in May and by August I was up and down for a total of around a 2-lb weight loss in 3 months. It was hard for me back then to even imagine hitting 20-lbs. My next mini-goal is 179.9 which I hope to hit by 11/15. I am even looking beyond that to 169.3 by 1/1 which would put me in the overweight BMI category.

    I think the mini goals really help keep the momentum going.

    I am interested in joining this group. My starting weight in August 2019 was 230, my current weight is 184.5. Haven’t quite determined what my goal weight is. The lowest weight I have been s 150 so I am going to use that as my goal weight.

    @Beka3695 congrats on your loss! It’s easy to get underwhelmed when the numbers aren’t going down as fast as we would like. But, at least they are going in the right direction!

    I’m confused. You list 1.8 lbs .... why are you not excited? That’s a good loss.

    No, no, no, you definitely don't need a smack across the head! -1.8 lb is a good loss! Be kinder to yourself, I'm sure you're doing great :)
