I am a little disappointed I didn’t get both weight sessions done but I was too sore and tired to go down plus the girls were here. Next week I will get them done. I am going to set up an exercise schedule today and I have to do it during those times. Starting today my step goal increases to 5000 and I have to hit it 6/7 days. Today is my rest day.
I am making my Newfie Jiggs dinner today. I am looking forward to it but nervous about the water weight. It seems to take a long time for me to shake water weight from this meal.
Have a super Sunday!

@Megan_smartiepants1970
Please keep me at 8000 steps for the coming week.
Thank you.
Well. It was another terrible day yesterday. Again, there was some binging. Not as bad as Friday, but some. Other than work stress, a big stress in my life is the continual and constant disappointment in other people. I know that I am faulty and fallible, but I know what I'm able and willing to do for another person and it is most often not reciprocated. I really have one person on the whole planet that I feel I can actually count on. Most people cannot be counted on at all. Also, I know I put people on a sliding scale. Most people come out pretty low on the scale unfortunately and I trust very, very few people. Thank you @iradi8 and @lindamtuck2018 for saying something kind about my binge. It doesn't go unnoticed. It's so easy to cheer someone when they are doing well, but then people seem to disappear off the face of the earth when you dive into the depts of crap.
Anyway, there is some truth for you about my thoughts and how I feel.
Thanks for listening.
Hi Laura ... I had your step goal as 6000...Do you want me to raise it to 8000? Sorry you had another terrible day yesterday ..You got this

Hi all! It's been a little while since I've posted my whole story, so I thought I'd do so since we have so many new members. My name is Ashley. I'm 33 years old, a wife, and a mother to a 5 year old boy and 3 year old girl. I've been overweight pretty much my whole life, with several journeys up and down the scale. I hit my highest weight of 323 lbs before getting pregnant with my son. I only know the weight because I weighed myself before going to the doctor to be prepared for the number. I was too scared to find out before that because I knew I was beyond my highest weight previously recorded. I lost 100lbs after he was born but then got pregnant with my daughter and slowly put most of it back on.
My current journey started in the middle of April last year. I'm determined to make this my last one. I've had some slip ups and some difficulties, but the difference this time is that I just keep going no matter what. I've lost almost 100 pounds since then and am also coming up on my one year anniversary of starting! It would be cool to reach the 100lbs by my one year. I'm not going to stress about it though because I don't want there to be any disappointment involved. Losing the weight forever is awesome and something to be proud of regardless of how long it takes.
I don't actually know what my goal weight is. In MFP it's listed as 150 because I just put in a number. I do know I'm 4 pounds away from crossing into the 'normal weight' category on the BMI chart. I've definitely never been there in my entire life. As far as goal, I'm hoping I'll just know when I get there, or when I get close based on how I feel. I start this month weighing 174.
I count calories, eat mostly a primal diet, and do IF from 1pm to 9pm.
Here's what my daily goals look like:
Track everything
Stay under calorie- Between 1300-1400
100+oz of water
9000+ steps (Except Saturday)
Exercise 6 days a week(Except Saturday)
Anyone may feel free to add me as a friend on the app! My diary is open to friends.3 -

We had a nice day with the kids. It was actually nice enough to go play outside for a little while which the kids were very excited about. It rained pretty much all week. We also got some cooking done for lunches this week. Texas chili and a spicy jalapeno sauce ready for making tacos or nachos with.4 -
The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!! 
ROCK STARS!!
