Thank you for the welcome! When I had GD I had to report my eating and numbers every day and it helped so much to have accountability. I'm glad to have this group!3 -
Hey Everyone,
I am a kindergarten teacher from Saskatchewan. I have two teenagers and we foster puppies. I like to run and bike. Finally getting some weather to get outside for biking! Although it is supposed to storm today!3 -
Ohhhhhhh, finally, new month, and a few minutes to stop in and say hello!!!! It's my first full month with all of you fabulous people and I am ready to rock it!!!
Hi! I'm Tanya, I'm 32 and I'm a Brit living in Toronto, Canada! I live with my partner, Gael and my 3 kitties.
At my highest weight, I was 375lb. I started going to a 12 step program to deal with my food addiction and I'm grateful to be binge-free and processed sugar-free since November 7th 2018. However, I still struggled with my weight, and I kept yo-yoing. In October of last year, I started to take a food plan more seriously, and it really made a difference! I was around 360lb in October, and right now I am sitting at just under 300lb! One day at a time
I have been off work since January due to issues with my gallbladder. I had surgery a couple of weeks ago and I'm recovering slowly. I am probably going to be going back to work at the end of the month. Which is great in a way, because I'm very active at my job (I'm a supervisor at Starbucks.) This month, or at least in the next 4 weeks specifically, I am going to focus on getting my stamina up, get back to my 5km walks, and spend some time dedicated to my studies- I started a BA in Psychology in January.
Tomorrow I am starting the "75 Medium" challenge. It's similar to the "75 hard" challenge that's going around tiktok right now but not as intensive. It gives me daily goals to focus on and rock! I typed up a little mini-journal and printed it off, and I can colour it in every day (basically similar to the habit tracker which I *have* signed up for this month!!
Here are my April SMART goals:
* Move around for 15 min minimum a day
* Drink 3L water
* Track all of my food- no sneaking, no lying to myself (I may have been doing that this last week a little
)
* Stop eating at 8pm
* Study for half an hour
* Read 10 pages of a book a day
* Do one positive thing a day that makes me happy!
I am really excited for this month. My birthday is in 5 weeks and I was kinda hoping to be under 280lb. Even though it's not impossible, with my limited mobility I'm not sure if it's going to happen. But I will be happy to be close to it! It hasn't been the best week for me so not sure what the scale is going to say tomorrow. But I will take it on the chin, accept it, and get on with a fabulous new clean slate!
I'm so glad to be here guys, I really am.
Lets make April AHMAZING!!!

One of my goals is also to honestly track everything I put in my mouth. It is so easy to "cheat" and not record the "bad" things, even though I know I will only be cheating myself.1 -

Wow. I just kept my head down and powered through March. After a very rocky start, I'm so inspired going into April. Let's do this!4

Up until last week I was very strict- not just with my food intake, but tracking. I decided to get a bit more lax on my intake and I somehow translated that as "just eat and don't track the little things" and it didn't sit right with me. You're right- I'm only cheating myself that way!!! So back to it now! lol2 -
Wednesday weigh in:

This is fine by me b/c I was up earlier this week due to stomach issues/bloating- so hopefully next week will be better. I ended the month in March w/a total of 24 classes done in my barre Challenge- I needed 20 to complete so I consider this a win!3 -

Unfortunately I don't have any exciting (or even mildly interesting) things happening right now. I do enjoy seeing all your progress though.
Hope you're all having a good week.2 -
I've been given a clean bill of health! It is such a relief. Now to refocus and crush my goals!5

Hello all! I totally relate to @Beka3695 comment about March. I don't know what happened in March but I just kind of lost it. I am up 2lbs and just ate whatever I wanted. I've been super stressed at work but honestly that's pretty normal. I do feel like I've reset this week. I meal prepped and had a really well planned trip to the grocery store. I think my key focus this month will just be resetting after I don't eat perfectly instead of just going off the rail! So here is to a good April!
CW: 220lb
SW: 250LB
Goal for April: No snacking after 8pm and lots of water!1 -
Hi Assets!
Looks like I’m starting off our monthly introductions once again, gotta love my time zone lol. I’m 29, live near Helsinki, Finland with my husband and currently expecting our first child, so I’m in the support team without a weight loss goal.
My health goals for April are, well, suited to my current state of misery after a rough beginning of pregnancy:
- Less nausea, hopefully
- Learn to eat vegetables without puking again (lovely side effect of the nausea, I can only keep carbs, dairy and meat down consistently)
- Leave the apartment every day, even if it’s just to walk around the block
Our next ultrasound is in 2.5 weeks, and I can’t wait to make sure everything looks good for our little one. It’s on the same day my 2nd trimester starts, and I hope it will be a turning point for both my nerves and my nausea.
I sincerely hope you all have an easier time and can move towards your weight loss goals!
Be careful what you wish for, folks. I hoped for less nausea and couldn’t wait for our next ultrasound. Well, yesterday I got a sudden decrease in all pregnancy symptoms, including nausea, and experienced some bloody discharge, so I booked the first available appointment for an extra ultrasound to make sure everything’s OK. Had the ultrasound today and our baby is fine, it was amazing to see a recognizably human creature waving it’s tiny legs and arms for us. Feels insane that there’s a literal person inside me.
So yeah, I got both less nausea and an ultrasound I didn’t have to wait two more weeks for, but I’m not exactly thrilled that these came with so-worried-I-couldn’t-sleep 24 hours and the cost of the extra ultrasound appointment at a private clinic. As a nice extra bonus though, the ultrasound came with an updated estimated due date, which makes me almost a week further along than thought, so I’m that much closer to hitting that 1st trimester milestone.
If the constant nausea stays away from now on, maybe this was still a win in the longer term. I did also successfully eat some vegetables without puking them, and walked to both the ultrasound and the blood tests I had happened to schedule for today. Definitely haven’t left the apartment every day this week, but it was an April goal so I didn’t fail it yet.5 -
Hey guys!

Weigh In Wednesday:

PW: 235.6
CW: 235.8
I'm staying around the same but I think a gain will come after Easter. Not gonna lie. Lol.2 -
I'm copying and pasting from last month, but hey, it works, right?
I'm KittyInBoots17, 35, in the prairies of Canada. I enjoy baking - pretty obvious by my weight HA, gardening, and anything to do with animals. I desperately need to re-lose several, and I do mean several, pounds to get back where I was three years ago or so. Been on here since 2015. So pretty much lose then regained. Not quite back where I was to begin with but if I don't do something I will be.
So here's the new part lol - March I pretty much stayed the same so hopefully after Easter I can be losing a pound at least. Lol!!!1
