25 lbs, who is with me?

Good luck, always remember when you get back into a new exercise routine you end up retaining some water weight, the key is to ride it out the first few weeks, get your metabolic rate up that way you’re burning calories while you are idle.1

Went for my daily 2-mile walk, ate a croissant, had coffee and managed to ate only a banana for lunch and some Raisin Bran for 3pm snack, and a salad niçoise for dinner with blueberry pie. Under the limit!1

Been struggling with working out this week, even though it's only Tuesday. My kids are home on spring break so I don't want to go to the gym after work and it's been cold/rainy outside so I haven't been walking either. Trying to do little exercises here and there throughout the day to make up not going to the gym. When I don't go to the gym it's harder for me to continue to eat my best or drink my water, it seems to throw my whole schedule of being healthy off and then I feel guilty that I let myself fall behind.1 -

I get not wanting to workout after work when the kids have been home. But it is only Tuesday, so you haven't gotten completely out of the routine. Make a plan to go tomorrow so you don't get out of the habit of going and keep doing those little exercises during the day, every little bit counts at the end of the day. Hopefully the weather turns around and you can get out and get that walking in. Best of luck.2 -

I typed up a long response earlier this morn but I fat-fingered the back button and lost it all. The jist of it was that don’t beat yourself and work towards changing priorities so it happens less. We support you!1 -
Good morning everyone. Let’s make it another physically active day with a real eye for moderation in our meal planning and snacking.1

Found a couple 30 day challenges that I'm combining and I'm starting them today. They're easy at home workouts that I can continue in the gym once I'm able to get back there again after spring break. Excited to start these new challenges and see where I end up in 30 days!0

I'm in!!... I was almost hitting 170 lbs when I decided it was time to lose weight. I'm now at 141.8 lbs and working my way down to 120 lbs (I'm only 5'3) So I have just over 20 more lbs to go. I love the encouragement I get from the MFP friends that I have made.3

I'm in. Need to lose another 29 lb to my additional 29 that I have already lost. Hope to achieve this in about 3 months3

I’m in
. I’m 146 right now and I would like to be 120-130. I excercise pretty regularly but food is my downfall. I am trying to change my relationship with food and make healthier choices. I also am trying to cut back on drinking alcohol and just live a healthier life-style. I need more friends on here so I can stay accountable so please add me!!! 2 -
I can't say I have lost any weight but I think I can say I have lost fat. The scale hasn't moved any for me which is discouraging but I keep reminding myself that I see a difference in my body when I look in the mirror and I can feel a difference in the way my pants fit, they're getting looser. Ultimately I think those 2 things are more important to me and encourage me to keep at this healthier lifestyle than any number on a scale. Eventually the scale will follow and start matching what I see in the mirror every morning. Have a great day everyone!2

Spent the day in NYC yesterday. Did a lot of walking and eating. Back to my normal routine tomorrow. I have noticed since regular walking 3 weeks in, many of my stomach issues have subsided.0

On day 4 of my 30 day challenge and I'm a little sore today, especially my legs but tomorrow is a rest day and I'm looking forward to it. Will probably end up going on an easy walk if the weather's nice just to help with the extra calorie intake from Easter. I hope tracking my food tomorrow I'll be able to keep myself from going over board. Not a huge candy/sweets fan so turning down candy shouldn't be too hard for me, it'll be all the yummy foods that I won't want to turn down. Excited to start going back to the gym on Monday, once you get into a habit of going you kind of start to miss the place when you can't make it there for a week. Most likely won't post tomorrow so Happy Easter all1

OK, well that was a four-day weekend for me pretty much. Time to make this week better than the last one, my daily goal is to get my weight set up and start lifting again. My food goal is to eat at least 500 cal less than what I’m supposed to for my daily intake. Hope everyone is well.0
-
Heya! Don’t know how to add anything or anyone; but I’ve gotta lose 23 (prefer 30!)... starting at 203, and could keep up with my 2 boys and would feel much better about myself at 180lbs... I like what y’all wrote so far, so I’ll keep reading! Good luck!0

P.S. - going for a jog!1

Had a bad weigh in this morning but I wasn't surprised, was pretty relaxed in what I ate and drank this weekend but getting back at it today with 45 minutes on the Elliptical and 30 minutes of strength training. Egg for breakfast, salad for lunch and a whole bunch of water in between. Feeling optimistic today, hope everyone had a great weekend and welcome newbies! It's always great to see new people join and post their journey on here 1

I am in but I started at 186 three weeks ago, I weighing for the 1st time tomorrow morning - wish me luck!2

Trying to keep this near the top of the posts so I can find it!
Day 2, and 2k calories isn’t really all that difficult - as long as I skip EVERY snack and stay away from delicious dinners out...
Will be totally worth it if I can lose that 1-1.5 lbs per week!
Hope everyone is successful!!!
