I've been struggling so much (and since I log it here you all know that which is embarrassing lol). Gaining has motivated me to be less *kitten* though and I've just completely re-done my grocery order that comes on Monday to be a lot healthier. I really want this month to be a success!0 -

Ahh I haven't moved so I'm going to try and up my workouts a bit, ( I wasn't doing to much ) try and lower my cals a bit more and drink more water. Plus I am going to take measurements and photos of my self1 -
Well done Skittles! I should definitely join you on the water thing I barely drink any >_> Might even join you on the photos as much as I'd rather not, probably a sensible thing to do haha

@Gnawcraft I know I hate taking photos of my self but I know this really helped me last time when I lost 70lbs before. I still felt like I didn't lose anything but seeing photos and noticing clothes fit me better was great1
-
Oh my god I'm the same! I went from 318 to 255 in 2019 and felt exactly the same. It's only looking at photos now I'm back near 290s I see how much progress I'd made!1

So I'm back to my start weight. I'm also 3 days sober which is a first in 17 years. I am very aware that my drinking problem is a huge part of my weight problem and trying to work on not drinking, eating well and exercising all while keeping the house in decent condition, working and dealing with a number of physical and mental health issues can be overwhelming at times >_> However I didn't do too badly for 3 days in a row which I'm still happy about. I don't intend to drink tonight either and I'd love not to on Saturday but that'll be the biggest challenge. Doing my best though
Well done to everyone else working hard and sticking to it!1 -

I live in canada, so smoking weed, drinking and smoking cigarettes used to be a daily thing for me. I got really sick last February and ended up in the emergency room twice. Once was pneumonia and 2 weeks later was bronchitis. I finally decided to quit smoking after batteling a 20 year habit. This is when i decided I'd replace smoking with walks and healthy meal planning. March 12th my mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, March 15th my uncle died of lung cancer and everything shut down here due to COVID-19. My partner also lost his job that day, which was hard because he was the only bread winner. I've been a stay at home mom since my daughter was born, my plan was to go to work once she starts school this upcoming September. I wanted to smoke, but decided it was more important now than ever to commit to being healthy. Being in quarantine made our problems hard to ignore, so we split up in May and he was finally able to move out in July, but while he was here he was not supportive of my healthy eating or my quitting smoking. Also having him home made me wanto drink and smoke weed, once my daughter was in bed. All smoking weed did was make me have munchies and eat more, so i quit weed and cut way back on drinking (I drank on new years eve and then march 4th, for my bday). By August i started to find it hard to get into a workout routine, being alone at home with my daughter all the time. I think the whole pandemic, my mom being sick, the separation all kinda hit me at once. So from august to jan, i gained back 30 of the 50 pounds i had lost. I'm proud i didn't let myself gain it all back. I was 255 in January, i am now 229. Not quite where i was last august at 226, but by this august I'm hoping to be out of 200s. I have built better habits aling the way and ditched some bad ones too. I might not have journeyed in a straight line, but the destination is the same and I've got my eye on the prize. That is the main thing, to not lose focus and find your best way to the finish line1

Well crap. We did end up with take out twice as we couldn't get groceries delivered but I didn't expect it to be that bad. I'm going to have to go back to logging properly next month as my guesses clearly don't work

@Gnawcraft I have noticed when I dash food I tend to gain as well, it could be a lot of salt in the food they use, I also have to now weight and measure out all my food because I was always over eating even when I thought I was doing pretty good eyeing it. you got this keep up the great work1
-
That's right! Don't beat yourself up, just keep looking forward, not back. This is exactly why we do weigh-ins, so we can adjust course if we've gone off track a little 😉
You got this babe!1 -

I really had an amazing week, I kept to my plan, knew what I was going to be eating, exercised ,drank my water and it showed. I know every week will not be like this but I am glad I am making the right choices to do this1 -
Fantastic! 10lbs since March 7 is amazing 👏
KEEP IT UP 😁1 -
Thank you, sadly its because I am so heavy that its a big number.I'm not evening outing back that much cals, I been sticking to around 1300-1600, I just been doing more exerting and drinking more water. I really didn't think it was that much, I have two scales so I had to get one both to make sure the number was right lmao1
-
Don't sell yourself short, that is great progress! You're getting in lots of steps too0
