The 170s are getting so close! I'm sick of the 180s now!!! Never thought I'd say that as my goal was initially 196lb 🤣
Great job! Isn’t weird how we keep lowering our goals. I think I feel better that I keep thinking another 10 pounds will make a bigger difference (except the lose skin). What about you?
I know when i started an 80lb loss seemed like a distant dream. When i got there i was so happy. That's the point I've always given up before, but i realised i still had plenty of fat! I thought another 10 would be it. Then another 10. And now I'm even thinking of another 10! Once i get to 175lb im going for 10lb more but no rush for that last 10, I'm going to increase my calories and plan to lose just. 5lb a week!! Hoping it will ease me into maintenence! I ve continually failed at maintenance before so this will be a new approach!1 -
Good loss! The 180s are fast approaching!!1 -

This is my first time really thinking about maintenance since I gained the weight. I lost a good bit of weight 24 years ago but got sick before I could maintain. This time I am tip toeing to maintenance. Before you know it we will maintenance buddies.1 -

I took a break from exercising on Friday. I listened to my body. I am undecided whether to walk or swim. I do have to go to the mall to get my phone screen replaced a a new pair of sneakers. So maybe I will mall walk.
Anyone excited for the eclipse? I got my glasses yesterday. We will only get a partial one here but I might go to a town where it will be a total eclipse.2 -

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Sorry for being late. I got hit with a nasty “bug” on Saturday night and have been running a high fever since then. I did get my weigh in just could not get on line to send it out. My apologies!

Good morning! I got my sneakers yesterday. I bought all black as right now I only wear sneakers with my back. I did get a high step count for me. I am going to try and fit a walk in between shopping(again) and the eclipse.

When I did eat ice cream it was butter pecan1 -
Hi Team! This past week was tough for me as I went out quite a bit. My eating wasn't terrible but I was definitely drinking a lot more than normal and eating more sweets than normal. I'm assuming that I've put on some water weight from all the carbs but we'll see what happens this week...fingers crossed.

Awesome work!!0 -
Favorite ice cream is Great Divide by Blue Bell. It's half chocolate and half vanilla. Ice cream isn't my go-to, thank goodness but it's good for a serving.1

Motto: 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!! Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
Recap: Had a good workout this morning. Tried something different. I googled..lose belly fat...and after pages and pages of advertisements, I came across HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). Sounds scary...but looking closer...it's defined as working out at 80% of your maximum heart rate for a period of time and then doing less intensity for that same period of time. I found a treadmill work out which was perfect for me. 4 minute warm up 12 minute HIIT (alternating 30 seconds) and 4 minute cool down. I usually do 30 - 45 minutes on the treadmill at 2.8 mph so it seemed doable and that it would give me a good workout. So i did it and monitored my heart rate. It wasn't bad at all. I alternated between 2.5 (low) to 3.5 (high). After the 20 minutes, I continued for another 20 minutes but was able to comfortably do 3.0 mph!

Birthstone - Topaz
@Trillium54 ~ thanks for asking. Yes, he was in a lot of pain when he came home on Thursday. He still has some pain but he's up and moving around so that's all good stuff!
@roblinB ~ good luck at the party. I think it's even harder when it's at your home. I've heard suggestions to eat something healthy before hand...or even make sure there are healthy options available during the party. If all else fails, just be mindful and enjoy yourself. It's just one day that deserves your full attention!🙂
@RoblinB I saw HIT being explained by scientists in some television programs years ago. It really made sense. Good luck and I hope you'll enjoy it..0 -
Which season would you be and why?

@Slimmersixties I've stopped numerous times just before my end goal and never made it to maintenance.. This time, loosing lots for the 3rd time, I'm so determined to go all the way to my end goal AND have a good maintenance plan and stick to that! Good luck to you 💪0
