    @jan110144 That's a great way to look at this journey. I wish you luck!

    @tammymccrady6278 I would think if it averages out to be under, you are okay? Sounds like a great walk.

    @murdog3t @davors19 @TheGlwUp @Firefly743 Congrats on the well-done losses!

    @TeresaW1020 You too! <3 Ick about the spiders.

    @AustinRuadhain That does sound like a good project. Yay for early-day exercise!

    Hi all. I'm going to boxing class this morning and then walking later in the day with a friend. I had a slight gain this week (+0.8 lbs) but I'm hoping next week will be better. I'm not going to focus on the scale on a daily basis as I have been, instead, I am going to focus on better habits.

    @trooworld - Oops! Here is the chimi recipe. Disclaimer- I made my own chicken filling because I did it on the fly. I was very pleased with how these turned out- crispy/crunchy on the outside. I think you could put any taco type filling in there and it would be a great way to jazz up leftovers.

    @trooworld, I really agree that it’s not a good idea to focus on the scale every day. I weigh every day and record the data but I try not to get too frustrated. Yesterday I was down and then I ate pasta salad and went up a pound. I’m sure I’ll be back down tomorrow. I hope you had a good time at boxing and that you didn’t have to run. :)

    @Cornanda Yup, I used to sleep so much better when I was young and now if I can get two straight hours before waking up I’m calling it a win. Yum for chimichangas! I put that one on my Pinterest board for a future dinner! ;)


    Hi Team! Today has been a fairly quiet and lazy day. It’s the start of college football and my sweet husband has been glued to a TV since noon and his favorite Georgia Bulldogs don’t even play until 7:30 pm. So I’m on my own! I did some Bible study, worked on my puzzle while binging Dr. Ted Neiman, who I LOVE!!! <3 And this evening I will hang out on the sofa and watch General Hospital. I’ve been accumulating episodes for football season. :D I did well with eating, sugar, and exercise today. :)

    @tammymccrady6278 Welcome to the group!

    I'm way behind! I'm pretty sure the anti-convulsant the pain clinic put me on is what's causing my stomach issues, I read it can happen at the beginning but it's been 5 weeks and I'm still having a rough time plus I've been really anxious, I can't go completely off it or I could have seizures (help, it's booby-trapped, I'm stuck on it!) so I'm tapering but I'm way calmer on the lowest dose, it just hasn't helped my stomach yet. It was causing female issues too which makes my pain worse so I have LESS pain on less of it. Anyhow, I'm having great workouts, not sure why but I've been doing full body seated cardio instead of just arms and I feel a lot stronger after two weeks of it. Doing good with no sugar aside of coffee creamer, I don't have much of an appetite but my neighbor keeps BBQing sweet Asian chicken and it smells really good when I'm watering the plants. I stopped drinking Diet Pepsi with all the stomach issues and don't really miss it, it's here because my ex-boyfriend drinks it but it's not tempting me at all which is abnormal.

    Keep up the great work team!

    PW: I initially put 128lb but is it possible to change it to 124lb? changed scale and the values are different omo
    CW: 124lb

    just wondering guys! quite a newbie when it comes to health stuff, do you put in the morning or night weight bc I tend to put my night values oops, life update its prelims week here in Singapore for the graduating batch and its been a mess completely neglected my healthy exercise and eating habits so really hoping to get that back on track because my mental health always takes a hit when my physical health isn't so good.

    also got rly demoralised when I went out to eat with my family as I felt really conscious and I guess I rly dont want my confidence to be affected so much anymore and I dont want my mum to worry so I really need to start taking action :")

    community here is really encouraging though thanks everyone !!! we will all make it

    @tammymccrady6278 @cherrymajoni Congrats on the losses!

    @Cornanda Thank you for the article on insomnia. It was interesting. For some reason, I wasn't able to see the comments. Maybe because I have an ad blocker on my computer? Thank you for the chimichanga recipe, it looks great!

    @TeresaW1020 Yeah, I focus too much on the scale. I did enjoy boxing, it was hard but there was no running so I was happy! LOL Sounds like you had a good day yesterday.

    @Katmary71 Sorry about the anticonvulsant issues, I'm sure the point wasn't to cause you more pain so it sucks that it did.

    @leayjw I'd say put in your weight at whatever time you want, just be consistent. I personally put in my weight in the morning and always do the morning. I'm sorry about the incident with your family, that stinks. Hugs to you!

    Hi all. I had a pretty good day yesterday. I hope to repeat today. I need to cook my breakfast for this next week today or tomorrow. Other than that, I am going to a friend's for dinner and that should be fun.

    Morning all…..it really great reading all the posts and seeing I’m not alone in the ups and downs of trying to lose weight. Just want to say hope everyone has a great day today and remember none of us are perfect and we all have good and bad days. Though the scale didn’t show too much of a change yesterday which had me down in the dumps I then showered and put on a pair of jeans that I couldn’t even do up a while ago and yippie they fit great. So I guess my body is changing even though the scale isn’t doing much. That made my day. Well I am off to bed as I’m nightshirt and just got home not long ago. Have a good one guys.

    Hi,

    I will have to step out on this week's and maybe next weeks weigh in.

    I am unfortunately sick and my top priority right now is eating plenty of nutritional food and getting lots of rest to help my body fight this virus. I will not be eating at a deficit or exercising during this time while my body is healing itself. Wish me a speedy recovery so I can jump back into this weight loss challenge.

    Thank you guys for keeping me motivated in the last few weeks, can't wait to be back in action.

    @mcmart11 Wishing you the best. Taking care of yourself is absolutely the first priority. You can pick back up when you are feeling better
