Hey team I hope everyone is doing well. I'm still really sore from leg day on Tuesday and honestly have no idea how I am going to do leg day today. But I will figure it out there's no such thing as not doing it. Sooo I can make it until Saturday a much needed rest day

Heyo, purple people! I just submitted my weight. Down from last week (I think?) but still up from the initial weigh in. As long as I keep batch cooking, I should be ok. Hopefully I will have time on Saturday to do that. Just need to pick my meals and buy the groceries I suppose. Work is still crazy, hence why I haven't been the best teammate.. unfortunately I do expect it to be crazy until at least February. Gyuuh I'm so tired...

@mellymint80 I'm so sorry to hear about your marriage Make sure to take care of yourself and lean on friends and family for support!

Thanks, I am very lucky in that respect. Just may mean I am not as present as I would like to be here. I am still getting in my steps and trying to watch my diet. So far that hasn't been a problem because I have zero appetite. Makes it nice in the weight loss department, I just don't want to regain my appetite and forget my goals, so tracking everything is very important to me.

Hey Team: Here's a motivating quote from someone who's been a MFP friend for three years. She's been trying to reclaim her motivation from a few years ago and just "got there" again. I'm super excited for her to experience her game-on mindset again. Here's what she wrote about how she's feeling right now:

"I must say I'm pretty proud of myself. I've taken control back with my health. Every day is a struggle. And I don't doubt I was addicted to food. But it's been 3 weeks since I've decided to change my diet. I've cut out junk food and fast food. Not only am I loosing weight but I'm gaining my financial situation back to where it should be! And on top of everything I haven't bought alcohol since new years. I've always enjoyed these things because of taste. Now I'm enjoying REAL food because I NEED the energy to make it through the day! And refined sugar and processed carbohydrates are not what I need!! Starting to love myself again."

I'm still away on vacation. I fly home tomorrow and will be back to a more normal routine which will make eating the way I prefer, logging/weighing food, and communicating much more feasible. Strength to everyone!

What a great story! Good for your friend, she is where I am going to get to!

Today was a rest day for me and a much needed one too. I will be back at it tomorrow.

Good Morning team I hope everyone is having a Happy Tuesday

Hey everyone! Good morning and happy Wednesday. Hope you all are having a great week.

I've been a little bummed out lately. The last few weeks I havent been getting in my exercise like I should and my weight loss has really slowed down. I've been doing pretty good on my calories (except last Sunday - it was really ugly. Tracked everything though)

I feel like I've been essentially working all week just to drop the water that I retained from the weekends the last couple of weeks. Very frustrating.

Obviously this is something I need to change because I've been having awesome weight loss results up until these last couple of weeks. Yesterday I got in 10k steps at work and I did my Insanity max cardio challenge workout after I put the kids to bed.

This journey to weight loss is challenging. I wish it was as easy to
lose the weight as it was to gain it.

Hope you've all had a great day! @treebek insanity is hardcore, you should be proud! The thought of it makes me sweat
