    Look at this week as a new start for yourself, I have to tell myself time and time again. I didn't gain this weight overnight!!! I wish you a great progress for the week.
    Okay, like I posted a couple of days ago, this week I've been off my game. The one day I didn't log my food, it's because I went to Chinese and I wasn't -exactly- mindful. Mind you, I didn't go overboard, but I could have made a few better choices. I also haven't been exercising like I wanted to, but this Friday I'm buying a new pair of shoes(mine are completely destroyed - should have bought new ones a couple months ago) which will make it more comfortable for me to go for walks. I'm also trying to fit my workout routine in between when I work(babysit), but I haven't gotten there yet.

    This weeks goals is to do my workout 3 times, and then on both days of the weekend.

    September 9th - 343 lbs
    September 16th - 343 lbs

    I'm really ashamed that I'm the same weight I was a week ago, especially since I've been roughly this weight for the past 3 or 4 months, but in the past week I was up to 350, so I am definitely glad I'm back down. But, this means if I want to reach my goal by the end of the month, I have to lose 7 pounds in 15 days.

    I will keep it up, and once I get my new shoes, oh boy! Walking for at least 30 minutes a day(if not more!). Hopefully that will kick things into gear!

    Have a good week everyone! Keep up the good work!

    First weigh in!
    Starting weight 9/9: 157
    Current weight 9/16: 155
    Month goal: 148

    Last week I had the stomach bug and was unable to eat or move around a lot (which explains the weight loss) but I'm not going to let it stop me! I've been working out 60mins+ everyday so I'm hoping I will see results. Good work everyone.

    My evenings are chaotic with 5 kids going all directions and I teach piano lessons in the evenings. Exercise needs to be back in my life but it is hard. My kids went to bed and I looked at my husband at 8PM and went for a walk. Felt great and knowing this is a battle, it's time to take charge of it! :) Have a wonderful week!

    Good Morning!

    Sitting here having breakfast. Cheerios and Almond milk. Going to go to the gym in a bit and work out too.

    I hope everyone is doing well. It is a rainy day here. Good day to lay in bed and sleep. But that won't get the pounds off, so time to get moving.

    Good Morning everyone !!! I tried to get on my scale this morning and it said LO ...Which mean I couldn't weigh myself. I almost freaked out !!! :noway:

    I have decided to try and burn at least 300 - 400 calories a day and I have a ton of work out videos at home. Wish me luck! Have a great day everyone. This is really keeping me motivated! :wink:
