    Start weight: 145.6 lb
    Today’s weight: 141.0 lb
    UGW: 120.0 lb
    February goal: 136.0 lb (Trying for 5lb/month)

    Good morning! It’s sunny and 72 degrees here on Padre Island in the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America?!).

    dannytrees1: Looks like you’re almost to goal— CONGRATS !!!

    HappyDonkey75: Hoping the meds give Xena a boost. I have a tiny rescue dog named Pink who came to us as a “hospice dog” and thought I’d lost her yesterday when she collapsed. After sitting with her for a few hours, she seems to have rallied and is up and walking and eating again. Don’t know how much time she has left but I want her to feel loved every minute of it!

    I see some indoor rowing, some meal prepping, and some decluttering in my future today; maybe help my husband with some yard work.

    I HATE yard work but I love him and always try to find some task I can do for him on the weekends. He is severely disabled and can’t do the heavy stuff anymore but his yard makes him happy, so. I’ll be moving a garage full of plants back outside after sheltering them there after the cold snap last month. Going to work around my bum shoulder and get it done.

    Wishing everyone a great month!

    Starting Weight: 196 Feb 2024
    2025 Goal Weight: 170

    Feb 1: 184

    Was on a plateau for most of Nov, Dec, Jan. Let’s hope it’s behind me. Hormonal treatment had a role to play in that but hopefully that’ll ease off now too. I was not doing much strength training last year so it’s possible I lost muscle mass and now my metabolism is not at its best. I was previously sidelined by a back injury and apprehensive about restarting strength training (I used to train A LOT and loved it). So yeah, something needs to change in order to kick back into gear.

    Highest Weight 212 lbs | Ultimate Goal 140 lbs | First Goal 165 lbs
    January Goal Met (GW=168) - Actual 167. 9

    February Goal- 165 (First GOAL Weight IS IN SIGHT !)

    Trying to decide, do I just shoot for my Goal weight this month? Or shoot for more? 160? Getting to this place feels like it has taken a LONG time and ALOT of work. Two months in a row of a 5+ lbs loss would be a bit tough I think just given how it seems like my body works. Big loss and then static for a while. I am a little weary of the discipline alot of days but I am not ready to let off the gas just yet.

    About 44 lbs in just under a year. That seems slow when I think about it that way. March of 2024 was when I started in earnest (and it was limited since I had knee surgery setback in April)

    So what do you all think? Challenge myself or give myself some grace?


    2.1-167.5

    @Latitude27N - thank you . Xena is continues to do well, even went to do farm chores with me yesterday.. She has always loved doing that so it was good to have her with. I pray little Pink goes softly knowing she was loved and cared for in her last days. Its so hard but grateful for people like you who can do these rescues. the majority of animals are rescues. Xena was and was close to euthanasia because she was so fear aggressive. That never really went totally away but we managed it and put some training into her and she has been the best dog ever.

    @canadamarie - I think strength training is a great idea. It might just shake things up enough for your body to start responding.. Hang in there and you will get through this plateau. I'm rooting for you! I started doing the Caroline Girvane videos a couple of times a week to help mix up my routine and it has helped but they are HARD. Some moves I just don't do well, atleast not yet.

    Highest weight: 180
    December: 163
    January: 160
    Current weight: 160.8
    February goal: 158
    Goal: 140

    January produced about a 2 pound loss. Not much but better than nothing. I’m hoping to ramp up my efforts in February. Do more cooking and plan out my meals.

    Sending love and hugs to Xena and Pink!

    💗💪💗💪

    Heaviest weight: 167
    Starting Weight October 2022: 157
    February 1st weight: 151
    February goal: 147
    Overall goal: 141.5 (5%)

    I’m super discouraged today as I plateaued all of January…..the good news is I cut way back on wine and increased my exercise time. The not great news is I’m up a pound starting a new month, sigh….and I’m still snacking - last night was ice cream we had in the freezer since Thanksgiving and never opened lol…

    I’m going to do some healthy meal planning this weekend.

    Hi everyone. I’m plateauing like some of you as well. 135.8. No snacks for me.
