    @meldwel you crushed it. And weather you hit or not, it only matters that you went after it and never gave up. We are all going through the same things. So it’s cool to be able to watch one another transform

    Hi everyone just got back into town from my awesome vacation. Congrats everyone for all your great loss numbers. Had a major setback on the scale but enjoyed my time away. After this vacation I realized how I got this size. So many bad food choices and not holding myself accountable. So needless to say had a big gain over the week. Looking forward to a new challenge next month and I am here cheering you guys on. Have a great week everyone!

    @bigghunny most likely a lot of what you are seeing on the scale is water weight. It’s hard to do too much damage over a short-time. Also, it’s so awesome that you were able to learn more about yourself. That insight is so important to long term success. Along my journey my “mindless eating” has greatly reduced. When I go overboard it’s definitely consciously... which means I can stop it before I spiral.

    @bigghunny Awe shucks! You guys keep me going too. I don’t really have anyone in real life who is on this journey, so having this community has been a huge factor in my ability to really do this this time.

    So here is my update for the month. I set out to lose 15 pounds like all of us did. I ate well all the time, was consistently under my calories, and worked out 3-5 times per week. I hit a stall or my weight loss slowed which I know is normal and that I need to trust the process. So I did and will continue to do so.

    Today was my weigh in day and I am pleased to report that I am down 1.9 lbs this week. My previous weight was 304.6 and today I am 302.7. I lost 6.1 pounds in March. Not the greatest, but I know I worked hard! I am looking forward to next month’s challenge...count me in! I am so close to being in the 200s!

    Total loss for March was only 4.4, but I'll take it. Got some great suggestions from our nutrition class last night that I will start incorporating into my daily food intake. I'm excited to see if this helps. Basically a) I am not eating enough at each meal. I need to try to eat 500 calories per meal and then snacks as needed in between. B) Also need to try and incorporate at least 3 of the 4 food groups (fruits & veggies, protein, whole grains & dairy) in each meal. Finally need to make dinner smaller to accommodate a bigger breakfast (yikes this one is going to be hard!). Learning how to eat is hard - who would have thought!

    @Dad4Myla amazing job! Way to be an inspiration and I'm looking forward to next months challenge!
