    Hi all. I’ve been in this challenge for about 1.5 years and have lost 70-ish pounds. I have been toggling in the mid-170s for about 3 months so I guess I am at a plateau. That’s okay as I have to be mindful of my eating for the rest of my life!

    Hello I’m the new person here ... I think I participated years ago because the names sound so familiar! But starting back up fresh having added some serious pandemic weight.

    September week 1
    Today’s weigh in: 187.6

    I’m doing a few things this month - a week ago I quit Diet Coke for the most part and am following some recommendations for hypothyroid - no gluten, also cutting back sugar significantly and dairy for a while (recommended by a book for thyroid conditions to give it up for gut health and then slowly reintroduce). We will see!

    Hi all, I’m Amy and I’m the captain here. Welcome to the new people!

    I’ve been part of the challenge he since October and captain since December.

    We have an optional daily post if you want to participate. Feel free to change it to track the things that are meaningful to you but the general layout is:

    Daily Post
    Track: Yes/no
    Calories: Under/over
    Exercise: yes/no (what you did)
    Day:

    I’ve been struggling since March, where I gained almost 30 of the 50 lbs I lost back but I’m nearing my 1 year logging streak and am determined to at least get back to where I was by then so I’m hoping the accountability of being here will help.

    Good luck everyone :)

    Exercise: Yes, a short morning walk.

    Today was ok but I was hungry 😋 most if the day. I’m also trying something new... no wheat, dairy or sugar... this is for 21 days... it’s a cleanse and it’s soo restricting... I’m hoping to stick with it, wish me luck 🤞

    I can relate! I got a book about thyroid diets and am cutting out the gluten and dairy on account. Also gave up Diet Coke and candy. I can’t give up the sugar entirely but only IN things like So Delicious Coconut Milk Ice Cream which is my current guilty pleasure. No candy or anything and only a little here and there as a treat.
