    I'd like to join! My motivation has flown out the window because I'm stuck with no exercise while recovering from an injury. I only lost .8 pounds in September so I'm ready for a good kick start!

    I've had this app on my phone for 11 months and after initially losing 15 lbs, I've put it back on. So I've come here for motivation and support. Thanks.

    October 1, 2014.

    At the gym at 5:45 this morning: 30 min back exercises, 45 minute HIIT on the elliptical: 30 seconds all out, 30 seconds recovery and 1 min build up to full throttle. Repeat every two minutes.

    B-L and D in my office: Oats and yogurt for breakfast, salmon and cabbage for lunch, chicken breast and zucchini for dinner.

    I am going to deflate 6 lbs in October. Got an extra 20 to unload.

    Good job everyone.

    I was looking for this group after some time away. :)

    SW: 193.6 lbs.
    CW: 193.6 lbs.
    GW: 188 lbs.

    Oct. 1 - 193.6 lbs

    I am hoping to actually lose a bit more. Some of the initial weight from the initial weigh in may be water weight or stress weight. I will be happy to just be moving in the right direction again and getting life back on track after a very stressful year so far. (Thus the massive weight gain.)
