It's my day to weigh in! We've been traveling (Christmas with my husband's fam on the West Coast!) so I was a little nervous because we've been eating out and I've been eating a lot of Mexican! So.... CW is 129.4! That's only a .2 gain-- and let me tell you, I'm going to cut it off there! Back on the plan!

You don't want to know!!!How is everyone doing?
Struggling, doing fine with the meals but snacking in between. Everywhere I look in work there are tins of sweets on people's desk. We've already gotten through 2 tins of luxury chocolate biscuits in the house since last week!
The thing is I feel bloody awful!
I will say I don't seem to be as bad as previous years I know I'm only going over by a few 100 calls each day but I can feel it already. The thing is this time of year is so bloody weird, my routine in work and at home is all over the place.
I'm still going to track everyday just to stay in the habit.
Oh and the wine2 -
I'm so glad I discovered this group just now! I think I may be older and heavier than most here but would still like to join please. I'm 5'1/4" (I know....barely a smidgen but it counts!) and 53 yrs old. Current weight is 176. I'd love just to see my weight start moving down in any amount. I so want to feel comfortable wearing even long shorts and short sleeves by the time warm weather comes around. My ultimate goal is to someday be able to tuck my shirt in again! Thanks you all for posting and being able to relate!2

Biscuits and wine are killers. I had tons of cookies/biscuits & fudge at my place. I've managed to only have one after dinner each night. It's tough though. Now work is a smorgasbord of treats. I just stay as far from the break rooms as possible.
Good news is that even at 100 over your weight loss calories, you are still below maintenance. Enjoy your holiday and try to keep it all in perspective.1 -

0.2 can be fluctuation, but rededicating yourself is never a bad thing! Good luck!
Sunday is my weigh in day, but I'm doing it Saturday. Who wants to do that on Christmas morning. Ugh

Ugh. I've had to do a course of oral steroids for my chronic migraines which are a huge appetite trigger. So far, I think I've managed to keep on track, but not sure I'll have much of a loss to show for this week. Plus, steroids make me feel AWFUL: jittery, heart racy and weird. Plus HUNGRY.
Weigh in is Friday. I've fluctuated every day this week, from half a pound under last week to a pound and a half over. Not sure what the scale will have to say in a couple of days.0 -
R4SNik, you're right! I've already been to a gym 3 times this week and have lost a pound. I tried a place out with a free guest pass- not a bad idea to check some out before you commit. I can't remember the last time I worked out so hard to break a real sweat (months for sure). I've got a Christmas dinner at the neighbor's, but all other eating will under my control. Keep a positive attitude everyone- today is the shortest day and now the sunlight will be increasing from here until summer- yeah! Hope we're all a lot smaller by then.3

By the way, taking my chances and weighing in on Sunday. I'm such a noob I don't even know how to "join" this group. Perhaps just by commenting I've already done so. Instructions from someone please (and thanks)?1

I want to join ya'll! I am 5'2' and currently weigh 149.

I'm in, please add me...all of you! 5'3", currently 147. I'd love to get down to about 130, but I'll settle for just losing anything at all right now. I was doing great this time last year, but have gained it all back, and then some. I just need to know I'm not in this alone.0

Im 20 and my current weight is about 159lbs but would like to take it down to about 130lbs. Im 5´1". Feel free to add me!0

Feel free to add me too. I'm 5'0", and had a baby two months ago. I'm 150 lbs currently, my comfortable weight has always been 117, but I'm shooting for 105 sense I felt like I looked amazing when I was there a couple years ago. I've been successful four years back using my fitness pal but I already feel myself loosing moment after a month of trying, so I definitely need the motivation. Already 20+ down, and at least 30 more to go.0

Nice group to find. I've been struggling a lot recently. This is always a rough time of year for me (I suffer from SAD...then add in the constant march of cookies in December). I've officially hit my highest ever weight after yo-yoing back and forth about 10lbs or so all year. I need to get committed and stick it out! I've had a rough couple of years with some major life changes (most for the good, but still tough).
I'm embarrassed to post my weight, but most everyone else has. The funny thing is, most people don't realize I am as heavy as I am. Somewhere along the line, I got good enough genetics that allow me to carry my weight in a way that I'm really the only one who can REALLY tell that I'm heavier than I was. Soooo:
SW/CW: 177
GW: roughly 140-150 (I'm actually not sure where I need to end up by weight, but I know what pants I want to fit again, and I THINK I was around this back then).1 -

No reason to be embarrassed. We're all here because we want to lose weight and have a support structure. I'm proud of you for opening up.

AmandaDanceMore, I'm another one of those "weight hiders". No one else has said anything to me about the latest 15, but I'm up a size or 2, and let's just say I'm not so stylish anymore. All of my cute clothes have big clothes mixed in. I'm kinda glad the weather is cooler and I don't feel as self-conscious. I couldn't fit into my shorts right now anyway. I appreciate your candidness and cheer you on to put in the hard work and make good choices.1

Oh sweetheart! I am right there with you! My genetics don't allow me to carry my weight well. Plus it seems like I have a lot of muscle loss. Cannot get off the floor with wallering around and using furniture to help me up. Thanks for posting! So good to have friends in this!1 -
Yes!!! 5'2; 139 as of now. GW 120. I reached my goal a few years back, had a bad accident, couldn't work out blah blah blah. No real excuses this time. Happy to be back. All about the add!!!! Thanks for creating this thread!!!1

I should have posted yesterday, but was a bit bummed
SW: 165
PW: 135 (Wed not Sunday)
CW: 135.6
GW: 115
Weight last Sunday was 135.8, so on the week I lost. No more mid week weights for me. Twice the anxiety, not return on investment.
Nikki, I wrote a reply to your email but it looks like it didn't post. I see a weight loss of .2. I weigh almost everyday but I always consider my PW my weekly Sunday weigh in. Some people just like to weigh once a week. Either way, you LOST for the week.

How is everyone doing?
Nikki, thanks for posing this question to the group. I'm chugging along. I've been walking more consistently and looking for a weekly step goal. I used a HRM for years and loved it but my Garmin is having problems with the data upload and I've learned Garmin is going to replace the watch I was going to buy, so I"m holding out for that and just going with steps.
I've been in a challenge with another person. Weekend challenge to see who gets the most step and Workweek to do the same. This motivates me. I've been out walking because I know my challenge partner will be looking. It is nice that we can see one another's data as soon as we turn on our Apps. 13,000 is the number I've now done for six days in a row. Prior to that I've had days as high as 20,000 but others were I did nothing. Making time for the regular exercise is important to my long term success. So, I'm working on it.1 -

Traveling can be so hard. Its so much easier for me when nothing changes! Hope you made it back on the plan.0 -

Struggling, doing fine with the meals but snacking in between. Everywhere I look in work there are tins of sweets on people's desk. We've already gotten through 2 tins of luxury chocolate biscuits in the house since last week!
The thing is I feel bloody awful!

Oh and the wine
It is great that you feel awful!
Sounds like your body is no longer use to the sugar/oil, etc - whatever it is reacting to. Its nice when office groups start a health challenge right before Thanksgiving and extend it till Jan. 1st. Helps get all that junk out of the office. Maybe if some of us are still here next year we should see if we can make that happen in our own environments. Give us a little insurance against our great 2016 and 2017 losses. 0 -

I'll add you to the little list I started. One or two other people also put their day. I"ll add them as well.
Many people have friended one another and chat there. My preference is to post and reply here. Only have to check one place.

Hi All!
This group is on motivation and support but what does that mean? I'd like to have a bit of exchange on what is motivating and supporting for you from people who are online. What kind of support and motivation are you hoping to get here?
I've come to realize I'm motivated when a the person replies to messages about my weigh-ins. The little Likes, Awesome and Inspiring are really nice but they don't have a name with them. So it an anonymous, rather than personal.
Most of my weight loss has been solo. I think I"m looking for a little community here of regular posters who reply with short personal messages. They are also posting weekly themselves. My thinking in starting the list of days people post is to limit who I'm watching for and then that list will be trimmed because many people won't continue.
One thing I love about this list - and it is another motivator - is there are people my height who are also small framed - judging by the GW. I joined WW many years ago when I had 15 pounds left to lose. I joined so I'd have the weekly accountability after I made my goal. Unfortunately, as I achieved a weight that was fabulously for me, I was harassed about my weight being too low every time I went. It was embarrassing and made me angry. The joy of my accomplishment was turned into a negative. So I quit going. I'm to blame for my weight gain. Just trying to create better systems this go round!
What motivates you?1 -

I like for people to comment on my wall/newsfeed. It makes me feel like someone other than myself cares how I'm doing. I do check this message board daily so that work to, but I find it hard to keep up with people.
