Spring Ahead in April WL Challenge!

Unchanged. But I am so unfussed this time. I have been walking, and squating, and going to my my Pilates class.
Okay...I am actually .2 pounds heavier, but I don't record gains and losses like that--mostly to avoid madness.
In the meantime...
I like how my legs look in my new narrower cut jeans. I really like how they are already getting baggy in the behind. I even have ankles again! Okay...maybe just an ankle, the left one is still a bit puffy...but the right one looks like it belongs to a human being.
The fancy digital scale I was using at the clinic may be unavailable to me in April, so I will be very curious to see my changes in total fat mass and fat free mass numbers in May! In the meantime NG's digital scale will do for trending data.
The line is being held and I am holding up. I hope you are too.
Good luck and good logging!
Looking better in clothes is always a get motivator, for most people. You have some great NSV's here. Great job!0 -

A great week with getting out for walks at lunch and an aquasize class last night. Also I've inspired my boss to watch what he is eating and to go for walks as well. *beaming*0 -

I am pleased to see this going down! I am almost to the 20 lbs total mark and I am excited for that number! After this appointment with my doctor I will hopefully not see her again for 2 months instead of every month! She stresses me out but she is making me work hard anyways lol! I was given the green light last time to exercise again except I have been so exhausted I failed to do so! Hopefully I get my butt back on track and getting even closer to saving for my treadmill
Great job to everyone even emmerin with your .6 up that is not so bad and you will use it to motivate you!0 -

Last week I wrote "Broke down and overate last night (Chinese) and lost 1.5# WTF???? It'll probably come back (sigh) but it was there this morning, so it's mine!" - Well it did come right back, but over the last week it has disappeared again. So this looks like a "Stay the same" but it was actually booking a solid loss.
I hit 179.75 on Friday (into the 170's OMG!) but it was back to 180 Saturday. If there's a loss, it'll get captured next week.
Best wishes to all!!!!!!!!!

My calves have evened out to be the same size, but did not decrease. I lost in measurements everywhere else though of at least 0.5 inches, except my hips. I think I have finished my second TOM in one month, yeck.

Hello I'm just starting . Currently I am just being honest about my food intake and exercise to get a good picture of what I'm doing wrong. But I will soon be starting my real diet. Any suggestions for good meal and snacking ideas. Is anyone doing any specific program?

Thanks T
Welcome to the group! Being honest with yourself is a great starting point. I'm not following any specific diet plan as most are simply out of my price range. For exercise I am following Rockin' Body from Beachbody. It's about a month long program. It's had a big impact on me already with a total of 15.7 " lost all around (arms, neck, thighs, waist, etc.).

Hey...a loss is a loss! I will take it and say thank you!
Continuing to feel stronger and more flexible. My fitbit step count is set to 15000 and it is mostly a matter of finding the time for the walkies, not the energy.

I've been at 179 all week then it went up to 182 then back down. It's under 180 right now, but only by a smidgeon.
There's no bariatric-surgery effect anymore. I can eat whatever I want now. Control now depends on good habits learned.
I've been on the precipice of carb-craving-crashes but not succumbed yet. The only time I want to have to fight is to avoid overwhelming danger. The rest of the time, eating should feel like a simple natural enjoyable lifestyle.
It all depends on the lessons learned. protein, water, limited-carbs, vitamins, exercise, tracking, accountability, support and good friends.
Thank you,
