Let's work together and get this going.

It is about to be SPRING people!!!! I'm not expecting to wear a bikini or anything LOL, but to be comfortable enough to go to the pool would be cool!

Add me :)

I weigh in every Thursday and only on Thursdays! You can do it with me! Let's support each other!

I have cheat days and bad days too, I don't judge - I always log my bad days... talk to you soon!

    I'm in! My first day tracking, but I was doing Weight Watcher's this time last year, and lost 26 pounds. I have went back and forth with about 5 pounds since I haven't been following Weight Watcher's, but it is time to get headed back in the right direction!

    Great mind set! Just log in every day and be honest, you'll lose! :)

    I'm in! Feel free to add me! I weigh in on Fridays as part of a Weight Loss Challenge we're doing at work! Definitely trying to be comfortable this summer, too :)

    I also do 1 cheat day on Fridays after my weigh-in - I usually don't log it, but have been good about getting right back to it the next morning. I've lost 10lbs so far within the Weight Loss Challenge and about 25 over all since I started! Good luck to you!

    Count me in! I'm on day two of working out, and day 92g78t450 of trying to watch what I eat. I've got a swimsuit picked out as motivation to reach my goal, and I'd love the support :) I weigh in on Fridays, LETS DO IT.

    I'm in! Feel free to add me. I've gotten on and off the wagon more times than I would like to admit. I've had a good, positive run at this before but since then, I've had the hardest time getting back to where I need to be mentally. So I've decided to try something new this time around. For the month of March, I'm simply working on my relationship with food. Bringing my lunch and healthy snacks to work. Only eating what I brought and not being tempted by other's meals/Starbucks. I'm just taking things one day at a time in attempt to not overwhelm myself and give up before I have started. I'm looking forward to small changes.

    I KNOW. That is the hardest... not eating doughnuts on Friday's, or ever getting starbucks, or ordering food delivery for lunch at work when everyone else is doing it! BUT it's also not as hard as you think to only eat what you bring to work! all about will power I guess, which is all about your mindset I think anyway. We'll do this one way or another, it needs done! lol

    I would love to join and make some friends on the same journey. I am part of a no weigh-in March challenge so I won't be weighing in again until April first but I can do Thiesdays after that!

    Yay! I just added you! I'm down nearly 7lbs so far. I'm able to tell a slight difference. I'm excited for my first big milestone of 10lbs then I'm gonna set a small goal of 5 pounds. I hope to drop at least 20-25 by June. WE CAN DO THIS! :)

    I'm in too! I suffer with the same difficulties as many of you regarding weight loss. My biggest problem has been losing and gaining the same weight repeatedly. I want to shed it and keep it off this time! My weigh in day is Friday.

    Btw, I weigh in Wednesdays and Saturdays. I try to stick to Saturdays. But I love weighing myself...it's weird, I know. Ha!

    I'm so in! I've been mostly dieting and counting calories since New Years, but am slowly starting to add exercise. I've found that I really like Pilates and Yoga, and going for long walks. I usually weigh in everyday because my weight doesn't really fluctuate day-to-day. That way when I lose a little bit, it's so exciting! It's also motivation for me. But I don't log my weight unless I've been that weight for three days or more in a row. Add me and we'll motivate each other!

    I was weighing every day but my weight fluctuates SO much it's insane.. I know it's water weight but to get on the scale and see an increase puts me in a funk and them I go off track... So that's why we decided to do just once this month.

    We are going on a trip this weekend and I super nervous. I've packed healthy low calorie snacks and I'm going to make the healthiest choices possible when eating meals. That's also a reason I decided to not weigh until April.

    you can totally have a bad weekend! might as well if you're out lol but that's just me! I'm just the type that if I deprive myself of bad food... I will fall off the wagon and binge eat like a weirdo. so......anything is ok in moderation and if portioned well!

    I've been weighing in on Thursdays too!!! (Although I cheat and weigh myself a lot more, but only count my Thursday weigh-ins as the real deal!) I started out end of January/beginning of February... Its difficult living in chicago and having a social life to keep at the strict 1200 calorie diet... But I am doing my best. I have 38 calories I want to lose and currently lost about 3 since starting... I have a wedding I'll be in the bridal party in May and summer is not too far and I live in walking distance of the beach to not take advantage of!

    I'm one of those people that can eat one bad meal and be up 6-8 pounds the next day and I KNOW it's water weight but it just gets me down. So if I don't weigh until April first then I'll have a little time to recover :)
    I should be ok with the low cal snacks I have. I'm just exited to get out of town and to get to buy some smaller pants!

    I think weighing in every day can turn the scale into your own worst enemy...especially for reasons like that. I know that it's easier said than done but the number on the scale shouldn't negate whether we feel good about ourselves. We should feel good because we feel comfortable in our own skin and because we fit into our jeans better and because we made it a cheat meal rather than a cheat day. I think that's it's important to recognize and celebrate each and every victory :drinker: ...no matter how big or small. But also be aware of your downfalls :noway: because we are always going to have them but learning from them and having the ability to move forward is key. We'll absolutely get this down but we are bound to have ups and downs on this journey.

    I'm in! My trainer said that 5 lb. increments are how she recommends people set their short term goals, so I am all for supporting one another while we work towards it! Feel free to add me! I am a Thursday weigh-in as well!
