    I have found when I hit plateaus that reversing the routines seem to work,

    Carbs are my indulgence too. I would take a slice of bread and butter over chocolate every time.

    Just finished work (it’s almost 10pm here) and I’m ready to crash. I’ve been sitting in an office all day long and am barely at 4000 steps today! But my eating has been fairly good and I have a stomach bug, so I wouldn’t have been able to hit the gym anyways.

    PS... it’s not an official weigh in day for me today but as a teaser, I weighed in at 182.3 this am (March starting weight of 185). Woohoo! Hoping it is a permanent loss and I am well on my way to my goal of 5lbs in March.

    In the past I’ve lost a max of 0.5lbs/week. I’m not so near my goal that a bigger weekly loss is inconceivable so it is really testament to imperfect logging.

    Am I too late to join? I am having slow progress these last 3 weeks and need to log more accurately and also work out! I've got a sore knee but hoping to start HIIT as soon as it's better!

    @aliblain @mayaellie1994 Welcome!

    Starting to add more weight lighting to my cardio routine! In the past weight lifting and body weight work makes all the difference. Keep up the great work everyone! :) Happy Wednesday!

    After four surgeries last year, being depressed and bed-ridden, I packed on an extra 15 lbs... finally good enough to get back at it. Count me in! I'll update my weight and aim to be down 10 for April 15. :)

    I'm up for this too! For a few months I did great, but for the past 3 months (Since I started working 2 jobs) I've barely been maintaining. I'm hoping by doing a stricter, direct goal maybe I can get back into the habit! Would love people to do this with.

    Thank you! The whole weight lifting thing has been a bit of a revelation for me recently. I’ve always done lots of cardio in the past and used to run a lot but was always ‘fat skinny’. I think strength work is probably what I’ve been missing all these years and hoping to do some body weight stuff at home. I have some heavy dumb bells that I’m using for hip thrusts etc.
