Hi team, I'm Bryce from East coast Australia. I joined the Slimsons last October at 307lb and I'm now 248.6lb My goal is to get under 200 just as soon as I reasonably can. Not sure how often I will be around the internet this month, but I'll always say hi when I can.
Good to see some of our established crew and a warm welcome to our new members. Have a great April everyone!

Today was stressful as I spent most of the afternoon trying to figure out how to fix my car. Sometimes I miss living in the city and being able to take public transit. Ugh. Anyhow, stress=eating more chocolate than I should have. I made dinner a little lighter to make the sweets fit in my calorie budget, so it worked out. And yes, the chocolate helped my stress levels lol
Track: Yes
Calories: Spot on
Exercise: 45 min Housework-sweeping/mopping/vacuuming. Also 7000 steps. (Not bad for a Sunday)
Water Intake: 100 ounces

Hello April team
I joined team Simpson in January. I feel this checking in everyday help me be accountable. when I slip or struggle I know I’m not alone and everyone here is helpful and supportive.
I realized today that I am farther away from my goal than I every said I would allow myself. So I signed up for 30 day fitness app. Let’s see how many days I can stick with it. And need to start going back to the gym and swimming when weather permits
Track yes
Calories no
Exercise yes
Water 40oz3 -
Daily Post Sunday
Tracking Yes
Calories Yes Under a little
Exercise Kind of half a block intentional walk besides the over 20,000 steps at work.
Water I'm hoping to get to 44 oz before I fall asleep.
I've been tired all day because I didn't get to really drink my coffee until I sat down after 4pm to roll silverware. Easter Brunch at work today was busy and made for a very early long day.

Had a hard time- not much was keto friendly for dinner at my inlaws and I didn’t think to eat something before we left the house to curb my cravings.
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes, but didn’t follow my keto diet
Exercise- not today
Water- Definitely not enough but I am glad I didn’t drink any of the wine they all had at dinner- all sweet wines! I was just fine with my water!3 -
Daily Post: 4/1
Track: No
Calories: Probably Not - lol. My 15yo's birthday and there was cake. It was worth it though, I'd been pretty good for a couple of months now. It was my first Easter in a long time without alcohol though!
Exercise: Nope
Water: 70oz!3 -
Ok so not my best start to a week or month. I managed to get bitten by a power tool. It could have been a whole lot worse but still ranks right up there on the ouchies scale. So many nerve endings in fingers. I'll just show a picture of the glove and your imaginations can fill in the blanks. I promise it's not as bad as it looks.
That's not a wimpy glove either.

April week 1.

Cw. 190.0
Just did a HIIT workout and step class. I am bagged. Lol4 -
Today is a new day, new month and hopefully a new outlook. I am not going to lie. I have struggled the last few weeks. I WANT to loose weight. I do. For some reason the energy to make it happen is non-existent. When I look back I should be happy. I mean I have lost 57 lbs. But when I look in the mirror I still see the 240 lb me. It stressing me and I want to eat. My husband and I got back yesterday from vacation and we had a lot of good talks. He supports me and wants me happy/healthy. So now I know that I have someone to talk to that wont judge. good luck to everyone this month!
I am starting small for my goal. I literally sit on my butt all day at work so today I challenge myself to get 6000 steps. I can do it!4 -
@jenngitch I am in the same boat. As someone who has always been overweight, it’s like I can’t see the progress made. I still see myself as 240lbs as well. I have plateaued at 190 and it ticks me off. I feel defeated a lot of days. Tired. And feel like all my efforts are going nowhere. You just gotta keep at it. One day at a time. I am trying a detox soon. I believe in you. You’ve come a long way! (Hugs)3

Track: Yes.
Calories: Yes. Under.
Exercise: No
Water Intake: Around 50 ounces.
Comments: Hi team! I'm a returning member. My goals are to get to the 180s. Drink sufficient water every day. And exercise most days of the week (at least 4 days).
I know it'll help to actually have a gameplan so I intend on reaching these goals by pre-planning meals, making sure to refill my water bottle 3 times a day (equals 64 ounces), and bringing my gym clothes to my school gym or exercising on the elliptical once i get home!
Good luck to everyone!

It took me a while to stop seeing myself as 240 lbs. While I hit a plateau at 190 myself, I had to remind myself to be patient, I didn't gain this weight all at once and I'm not going to lose it all at once. I just broke mine (at least I think so since I saw something other than 190 in the last few weeks), you have to really embrace your progress, and it's hard. I actually didn't really see it until about a week ago. Last year I took my niece easter egg hunting and my mom took a picture of our winnings (she has a knack for finding shiny special eggs lol) and then this year my brother was the easter bunny so she took another picture and for the first time I was like where did the rest of my belly go..?! I mean, I still have a ways to go, but pictures really help, it's crazy, but we can't see it because we see ourselves everyday.
I think that small goals are important. I like to make a big goal and break it up into smaller goals with a timeline, that way when it isn't working, I can make adjustments, and I really think that can apply to weight loss goals, especially. Also so great that your hubby supports you, it's very helpful to have someone to share it with.

2/28/18= 203.8 lbs.
3/1/18= 203.8 lbs.
3/31/18= 196.4 lbs.
4/01/18= 194.8 lbs.
Total weight lost in March = 6.8 lbs.
Weight lost from 2/28/18 to 4/1/18 = 9 lbs.
This has not been my best month as far as being food discipline. I will increase my game in the month of April.3
