Hi all, I'm Bryce from East coast Australia. I am spending more time at my property well out in the bush where I'm building and generally improving the land. So I will go quiet from time to time since I have very limited connection to the world. but you will find me quite chatty when I'm back in town

Last Sept, at 307lb I decided enough was enough and I joined the team at the beginning of Oct. I'm now 51lb down and working my way towards Onederland (199lb). Tomorrow I turn forty something.. (stopped counting years ago lol) And I'm looking forward to a great month of March. Autumn is my favorite time of year, and I have lots to do to prepare for what can be a very cold winter in the mountains.

Glad to be sharing the journey to health and fitness with you all.

Excellent loss

Daily Post
Happy Sunday! Had yet another great meals day yesterday and the scale thanked me this morning. Prepping for another great week. Made up some homemade low sodium chicken stock yesterday and making some beef stock today for soups next week. Yum.
Track: Of course!
Calories: Yup and everything was green across the board.
Exercise: Nope
Water Intake: 72oz ish

Track Yes
Calories yes
Exercise 1 hr. Walking dog 4 times a day.
I completed a 36 hr. Fast so I have finally started to lose again. I just opened my window to a low card, high fat meal and it is now closing again until tomorrow at 4 pm . I am staying under 20 carbs a day. 4 PM tomorrow will be a 26 hr. Intermittent fast. I seem to only be able to lose with intermittent fasting. I am also losing inches even when the loss does not reflect on the scale.
I do not track my water but I drink all day and carry my Contigo cup everywhere I go. I also have 1 Tbsp. Apple cider vinegar in the morning and at night. After I drink the vinegar water, I have a cup of plain water. Dr. Jason Fung said it helps to reduce insulin spikes so it helps with weight loss. I drink it diluted in a cup of cold water. That alone gives me 32 ounces, and then I drink all day long. This challenge gives me motivation, so I appreciate you Craig. Today is not my weigh in day but I am 153.4. Monday is my weigh in day. My goal is to reach 139 or 140. I am trying to get there and have been trying for many years. I am very active and exercise in the gym or pool a minimum of four days a week one hour or more for years. Every time I get this far in weight loss, I gain and do not make it. I am 73 so I am older than most of you and losing weight Is slower because of reduced metabolism. Dr. Fung says a slow metabolism is spiked by fasting and my metabolism sure is. I live in Puerto Vallarta where tortilla chips, refried beans and margaritas are everywhere. I like them all and have little resistance but your challenge gives me willpower. I also have to pray to Jesus and He gives me strength, especially when I make a promise. I am very careful with my promises as I do not break them. I look forward to the success of each of our team members and pray for each of you every day to be successful.

My name is Margie and I have two sons. I live in the suburbs of "The Racing Capital of the World."
I gained a lot of weight back in 3-4 months and have been using Nutrisystem since the end of January. I don't follow it exactly now because it is expensive. I have found that I actually enjoy cooking again.
I am an emotional eater and I hate it! I know how many calories are in a container of strawberry frosting because I ate the whole thing and then was sick(like a hangover) for a day.
My goal is to lose 16 pounds by my birthday on Cinco de Mayo. I am finally doing this for me and I am glad to be back!

3/4/18-( Sunday weight=202.6)

I didn't lose that much this week but I suspect salt and/or muscle gain. I lost so much last week that I'm not discouraged

Daily Post Monday
Day/Goals: Had a pretty cruisy day, but it contained a real NSV. I had considered if there was one day a year I could/should just leave the scales out of things and eat what I want, it would be today. But I'm impressed to know I just couldn't bring myself to break the pattern I've established and eat more than I should.

On a related note.. it's amazing how well meaning people can be so unsupportive. People just don't get it. I had people encourage me to just take a break from my efforts today and eat more. And I know where they are coming from. They see how dedicated I've been to my weight loss efforts and just think I deserve a break.. But I don't know if you can take a break from wanting to not be fat. The sort of support I need and want is more along the lines of people saying hey man, your going so well.. Don't ruin it today. Just keep up the good work and you can celebrate wearing normal sized clothes next birthday.

Maybe it's just me... I think I prefer tough love.

Hi there everyone,
I am a little late getting back to the party! Sorry it was a busy few days and to be honest, I forgot about the new thread starting! Duh! My name is Jodi and I am from Canada. I am a middle school teacher and mom to two very busy teenage boys. I am officially on March break right now so I will be enjoying the break to get caught up on some neglected parts of my house! My goal this month is to get out of the 300s. I am currently 308.8 so I am getting close. I started to use MFP on January 1 and somfar I am down 24.2 lbs. Hopefully this month will see the same downward trend. Glad to be back on Team Slimsons! Good luck to everyone!
