Thank you so much.
My name is Grace, I am 29, live in Nottingham Uk. I just submitted my thesis so I am in a good place. I can now focus on loosing the weight. One of the reasons I stayed on track was this group and I spiraled after I left. Happy to be back on this journey.
Cw 101.5kg (I am using a new scale)
Welcome back Grace and congratulations on submitting your thesis!1 -

My food was on target today. I need to finish logging, all but dinner is logged. I do have a confession. On Saturday, we went to Krispy Kreme and got a box of the cutest mini donuts to take to my granddaughter. I ate way too many of them because they were pricey and I still have the mentality that I don't want to waste. I know I know it will go to my waist. Anyway, they were cute. I ate them. Now they are gone.
I am trying to figure out how to get myself back on track. I had one of my biggest losses last week in a VERY long time. I really think it was a combination of eating only two meals for the two days prior, helping my son move and probably being a bit dehydrated (don't want to drink on a car ride). So we shall see how this next weigh in goes. I hope I at least hold last week's lost. I am not eating ice cream every night because I purposely did not buy any. I am missing it, but it is not killing me.
I still have not gotten back to my Pilates since last Thursday when we went on our trip. I miss it. But each morning has been busy and then my granddaughter and daughter come over. I have no idea where my steps are today. I haven't even looked. @eggfreak and other fitbit friends look for a challenge invite coming your way. I need it!
@PlaneMonkey Love your bathing suit. You reminded me I need a new one.
@conleywoods and @jugar LOVE those beautiful animal photos. What a lovely day to spend the day.
Hope everyone has a great weigh in the rest of this week. Go team!!!
Here is a photo of the cute mini donuts for Easter.

Hey all.. just a quick check in.. had a blood donation go poorly tonight so am not really feeling myself. I had been regular donor prior to this so I wasn't expecting it to derail my night.5

@micki48 those donuts are adorable! It's the day of cute pics between those and the animals. Thanks for the smile2

So that happened. I want to cry tears of happiness. I have seen the 140s since before baby 4. I was 148 in Nov 2018. Thanks to the holidays, I was 152 in January when I found out I was pregnant so I called that my prepregnancy weight. I watched that scale dip a little each day this week. Yesterday, it was 150. My next goal weight I 143, which was prepbaby #3.
@planemonkey I bought my usual bathing suit size M. I don't know if a larger size would have helped the torso issue, but my boobs would NOT have fit in a larger size. I am a C cup.
@conleywoods those baby goats are adorable!!! I am currently doing Liift4 and Barre. That should take me to summer. Then, I want to do 9 week control freak, another round of mbf/mbfa, then, if I lik 9wcf, I will try off the wall, otherwise, another round of Lifft4/Barre. I am loving the mix of Liift4/Barre a lot.

@jugar my weigh in this morning was astonishing, so I want to hold off posting it until tomorrow to make sure it isn't a blip and I'll have a rebound next week. I'd have to go back and check but I don't think I've had an entire month in the green yet in my 7 months with the group.
I've started reading the Beck Diet Solution that I heard one of the other groups was reading together. I'm guessing it's the psychology that noom is based on, correct me if I'm wrong. I'm almost at my goal but I've been here before and the yoyo always happened as soon as I reverted to old habits, I want to change my way of thinking and this seemed like a good start. My mother has a horrible relationship with food so I'm also reading it to see if it's something I can recommend to her to help her on her journey. She's an all-or-nothing dieter who will starve herself for a year on shakes, drop 100lbs, make it to goal and then climb back up to her starting weight as soon as she starts trying to eat regular food again. I prefer a slower, manageable approach, cause I don't want to deal with loose skin and quit cause I feel deprived. I think this book might help. Has anyone else read it?

@micki48 - you beat me by 200 steps last week. I’m shooting for 3rd place this week so already added those extra steps yesterday. 😜 Great job everyone!4 -
@PlaneMonkey I have that book on my shelf, I've read bits and pieces but never the whole thing cover to cover. Let us know how it is... maybe it's time for me to dust it off

Congrats on your weigh in and the 140's @KellyBgetsfit2

Good morning! Back on my mat this morning. So hurray for that. 11 minutes of Pilates for legs. Wew, it packs a punch!
@ashleycarole86 Sorry to hear about the bad blood donation. I know that can hurt and wipe you out. A couple of my family members have had vein infiltration. Hope you are feeling yourself soon.
@KellyBgetsfit CONGRATULATIONS on that amazing milestone. You have worked so hard while being a busy mom of 4 and working as a teacher. You are a mighty woman. You can do anything!!
@PlaneMonkey OOOOOOOhhhhh,, Now, I am paying attention can't wait to see what you post on weigh in day. You've got this.
@Gidgitgoescrazy Your weigh in was shocking I am sure, but you have got this!! Like everyone has said that is not all permanent weight. That is all the things currently in your body. I bet you'll see that gone shortly. Chin up. You are strong.
@gak71 Wow! 300 steps and i didn't realize it. Now try and beat me this week.
Have a great day everyone.2 -
@KellyBgetsfit
Fantastic!! Under 150 - you are doing so well. I am so glad you stuck with it when you got discouraged. You made some changes, experimented with things, took it easy when you needed to, and got right back on it as soon as you could. Results are speaking for themselves

@jugar He is a beautiful boy! Growing up, I had a friend who had a mare that looked just like him. It is always fun to hear their registered names and barn names. One lady in our area had this beautiful American Saddle Breed who was chestnut with a flaxen mane named Champagne Whizz. He was nearly 18 hands tall and his tail was so long it had to be secured under the buggy during shows. My sister and I were so excited to meet him when our trainer moved to the barn he lived at. Well...he is the most terrifying horse I have ever met and his barn name is Fang! Ha! It really fit him. His owner brought us to his stall and he came flying in from his outdoor run and charged the door and hit it. He didn't seem as pretty after that💔😈2

Maybe I like this new scale after all! In spite of drinking as much water as I do, the body composition assessment indicates that I'm pretty low. Interesting. Maybe as my fat decreases, my water will improve?
We'll see.
My food has been ok. Serving sizes are still an issue. At least we've both been walking more. It's time to add in a few other exercises and stretches.
More soon.
Off for a walk.4 -
More animals! The pond frogs came up on Sunday and are now (ahem) frolicking all over the place, the groundhogs are out, new fauns are appearing, raccoons are raising the compost and rooting around under the bird feeder - pardon my excitement, but spring is here!
I just tried out some very minimalist shoes I got from a crowd funded project. They feel like socks but I walked on rocks, gravel, roots, wet stuff and all kinds of surfaces. I just wanted to run and dance around - happy feet, great balance. 👍5 -
Weigh in tomorrow - not very excited or hopeful. I have not been great with my eating and no formal exercise these last days. A bit of caregiver stress (rather 'lack of caregiver' stress and hopefully that gets sorted soon...the stress part is finding 2 -3 that are a good fit. Will find out tomorrow what the 'fulltime back to the office' date will be. The plus is that I manage my intake much better when I'm in the office.
@KellyBgetsfit WAY TO GO!!3
