Women 200lb+, Let's Swing It, Shake It, Move It, Make It This May!!!

🌼 Hello, ladies! We've made it to May! The weather's changing and so are we!!!

🌼Will you be trying anything new this month? Or is it back to the tried and true methods that have been working for you so far this year?

🌼What are you looking forward to this May?

🌼And what is one thing you'd like to remind yourself (and others) not to worry about or stress over this month?

🟡If you've never been here before, please know you are welcome to join at any point in the month. All you have to do is post something, and then BAM!, you're one of us.

🟡In this group, we post our weekly and monthly goals and provide support and motivation to each other as we share our triumphs and our struggles. This group is all about accountability.

🟡All are welcome and, if you think you belong here, you do! No matter how much you currently weigh or how you measure (or don't measure) your weight, we'd love to hear from you.

🟡Victories, both scale and non-scale, are great to hear about, but, conversely, we know that weight loss isn't all sunshine and roses. If you're going through a rough patch, please feel free to be honest and vent your heart out. The struggle is real and we're all here to support each other!

🌼Let's swing it, shake it, move it, make it, and show how good we are in May 2025!!!🌼

There's still plenty of time in the year to get to my goal weight if I turn it around now. I calculated I'd have to lose 0.67 lb/week as of right now, so hopefully I can frontload now so I can go easier later. Time to turn it around!

Alright! I've rebooted The Spreadsheet, to make it more attractive to me (because I'm a huge Buffy fan), if anyone wants to make a copy for themselves, go to file→ make a copy 😁

Time for a before picture, I haven't done one of these in a while. Felt good in this fit, and it'll feel even better when I'm smaller:

This was on the first day of my vacation, just before embarkation. I didn't make my goal weight for embarkation, but I had a great time, felt fine in my skin, no regrets.

Tonight! I'm back at the gym for the first time in…almost a month. Gotta get back in there! Tonight is line dancing class (one of my favorites) followed by splits class (sorely needed). Going again tomorrow for a combo cardio/flexibility class, which is going to be great.

MacroFactor is not yet on point with my calorie expenditure numbers, because if it was, it would be scary, haha, but I am reducing my calores from what I normally shoot for to somewhere around 1400 for now until we even out. Going back to the gym should help immensely.

My meals for today are on deck, I'm about 5 cups of water down already, time to get to work.

Have a great MAY everyone!
