Laboring Towards Labor Day (CLOSED GRP)

Hello, all! My name is Sho... Yes, Sho- it's short for Shoshana and very easy to remember. I am a 25 year old middle school math teacher. I soooooooooo love math- I have since I was a small child. I'm going into my 4th year of teaching but ultimately want to get out of the classroom and into administration. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in General Education and also coaching high school softball. I have been married for over 2 years now to my college sweetheart. We met at Georgia Southern University, worked together and the rest is history. We live happily in a small town called Winder, GA. When he first met me, I was playing softball for GSU and I probably weighed 180, which was still overweight, but I wore it well bc I'm an athlete with big thighs and booty! LOL! Sometime after we got married, I found myself weighing in at 220!!! I had put on 40 lbs of "happy weight!" Although mortified, I chose to do nothing about it. SMH. On V-day this year, I finally decided to change my life and get in control of my diet. I made this decision after seeing "sexy" pics that my husband took of me that were the "unsexiest" things I had ever seen! LOL! Fast forward almost 5 months, and I have lost 29 lbs and have 25 to go. Soooo.......... Enough about me! Let's get this party started! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO RED! (oh yea, I'm an ex-cheerleader).0

Sho - Welcome to TEAM RED!!! Congrats on your weight loss, too! We're lucky to have our own official cheerleader!

Good Morning - Red Team - Just getting ready to head out for my walk. Hope we all have a good day staying focused on and working towards our weigh in cay. When does everyone weigh in? I do Mondays because I can go crazy on weekends and need the fear of a Monday weigh in to keep me in check. Good luck to us! Go RED TEAM!!!
AbbyGrl72 - congrats on your 2 lbs loss!0 -
goooooddddddd morning purple team.....today is friday....i'm focused on having a great day...water water water to flush the chinese sodium out....i was already feeling bloated yesterday and dinner didnt help lol...although my skort felt loose this morning so who knows...i "peaked" at the gym scale last night and was not pleased but i'm going to wait until monday to do my official weighin.....my neighbor has my scale and i'll run by and see her monday morning...i may get it back from her since i'm going to be weighing weekly....that will be my challenge for the next week...to have the self control to just get on the scale on my weighin day....i think i can work on that.....anyway....no workout today as it is a rest day for me....i am sore in my arms and chest and back from wed and thurs wt training sessions.....today is my highest calorie zig zag day as i dont have a workout on the calendar so i have 1683 cals to eat today...i'm gonna try to be just under that though as i went over a little yesterday....i really want to be strong thru the weekend with no extra snacking and keep my sodium in check so that whatever i'm holding onto can get released by monday's weigh in ....i also know my muscles are holding water from all this strength training i'm doing...hope everyone has a great end to their week.....goooooooooooooooooo purple team.......0

anyone posting weighins yet???? when does everyone weigh in now???? it doesnt matter to me when as long as i have everyone by monday mid day...just curious.....
denise/bluiz13 - either sat or mon0 -
Well to be honest Denise, mine are going to fluctuate just a little bit (weigh ins that is) Because of me working night shift, I don't want to be working all night, then come home and weigh in. I notice a more *normal/steady* number when I weigh in after I get a good nights sleep. SO....this week I will be weighing in Sunday morning. Next week, it will be Monday morning. Just depends on when I work...but I promise to ALWAYS have it in before Noon on Mondays. I just don't want to screw myself or my team out of a bogus number due to me being on my feet all night then coming home and weighing myself.
I am PUSHING for 3 lbs this week....I have 2 lbs for sure....just pushing for that bigger number. 0 -
I'll usually weigh in by 8 or 9 am PST...that's 3 hours later for you in Florida, right? Thanks for all the work you do, Denise :flowerforyou:0

Congrats AbbyGrl72! That is so cool. I have been trying to stay focus as of not eating too much sweats, but tonight I blew it. My friend is moving away and we had a sweet party for her. Let's see how my body reacts to all that sweet.0

GO TEAM TEAL!!!
I usually weigh in on Sundays but I was so excited when I weighed myself this morning I couldn't wait. I will weigh myself again and will post it if it's down.
7/9 190.2 :happy:
Down 2 lb. I never lose that much in a week. Water intake? I am so close to the 180s where I haven't been for about 8 years. I now weigh less than my hubby (yes this has been driving me crazy). And I am now overweight instead of obese!0 -
:::: Hello Orange::: and everyone
Finally got a workout in today after a hell week of close to nothing! Tomorrow I'll do a better one for sure. Oh and I'm going to try, try, try to work on my lack of water problem... glug...glug.
Let's go Orange!0 -
cmpettey - Congratulations on the 2 lbs and especially on going from obese to overweight! Amazing!
I usually weigh in on Monday but I was also so excited when I weighed myself this morning that I couldn't wait either.
CW: 214.4 down from 217.8
Denise, I owe you a big thank you for this week's challenge. I think my weight loss is due to all the extra water! Thanks!0
