    I would love to be part of this group! I'm a single mom of two living in Connecticut. I am ready to eat better and feel better...I am 5'6 and started this a week ago at 162. I want to get down to 140. I weighed myself yesterday and was 159.8, and today I am 160.4. Don't you hate that? Trying to workout 5 to 6 days a week doing spinning class, barre class, and the elliptical machine at PF (my new personal favorite).

    The frustrating part for me is night eating. I like to sit in bed and eat! Eating plain popcorn. Also, wine can be a problem for me too. I do love my wine and so do my girlfriends....ugh! But it's a journey and Rome wasn't built in a day, I need to be patient....eating 1400 calories and my exercise calories.....

    Hey... Its totally fine to have lill fluctuations in weight... Bcoz it depends upon wat tym u r checking ur weight and also if u check ur weight daily it just leads to disappointment and frustration.. So as u told b patient. Things will change

    Hope everyone had a great weekend! I made some coconut granola bars. They were tasty and I ate too many yesterday and went over my calorie goal. Oh well. Here's to better decisions today!

    I would love to join! I have gained a bunch of weight over the last year and want to feel comfortable in my own skin again. I have been going to the gym 3-4 times per week and just started hot yoga 3 times a week. I'm eating raw food (not sure how long it will last) and so far I feel good. I started at 165 and this week am down to 162. Here are my stats:

    Starting weight: 165
    Goal weight: 135

    Hi all! Welcome newbies! Sorry I missed check-in. SW 185, CW181, GW 155. Had a blast at the beach, totally blew my calorie goals with delicious adult beverages but it was worth every sip! I did a ton of walking, over 32,000 steps according to Fitbit, from when I arrived Fri afternoon to when I started driving back home/to work Sunday morning. Danced my butt off at the lounge to a live music too. I have been doing three 30 day challenges, but slightly modified arms, squats, and dumb Bell, definitely getting different groups of muscles moving. I am getting back on track with my nutrition didn't do Mason jars this week because I need to shop, and I missed them.
    Saralynn - thanks, and you are right, planning and prep do make a difference. I can tell in the nutritional break down last week compared to this week, I've been eating a bit on the fly and I have stayed in my calorie range but just not as filling or nutritious. Note to self - go shopping after work tomorrow!! Maybe I'll do another zig zag throughout WinCo just for the fun of it :)
    Looking over the check-in, good work everyone!

    12 week goal.
    Current weight 225
    Goal weight 199

    I know that is just the tiniest bit more than 2lbs a week but I think it is doable.

    No check ins? Well I'm late too.

    Doing three 30 day challenges, but modified for myself because of iinjuries/weak areas (back surgery and ruptured Achilles tendon) hoping to do them as written when I repeat them :)
    Arms, squat, and dumb Bell. Joined the spring challenge/amazing race group. I love the various road blocks, nutritional, and accountability challenges - eating colors this week, eat a food from each color group each day. Fun and interesting.
    I hope everyone is doing well in their own weight loss/ health journey!
