My goal this week is exercise daily and no alcohol. And of course staying within my daily calorie, fat and sodium limits.
Keep up the good effort everyone... we got this!
Great job! I've plateaued after 3 months of religious tracking too. Guess I'm gonna have to kick it up a notch!
thanks! And you too!
Can't give up! Time to up the focus and determination!1 -

This is my weekly weigh in. I know it’s early, but I just weighed myself. Last week I had gained 0.2 lb due to all of the Easter food that I ate. Today I weigh 201.8 so I am down 1.4 lbs. I am soooooo close to my short term goal of being under 200 lbs again!5

A little late but I would like to join in too!
Just as a little bit of background information, I’m 24 and 5’6. I originally joined MFP in my second year of university in 2013 as my weight had reached 158lbs due to my partying/student lifestyle. I got down to 129lb in around 10 months and was very happy at this weight.
However, after I lost the weight I stopped paying attention and I gained around 10-15lbs over the next 2 years.
Then, 18 months ago I started my job as a teacher which I found very stressful and I forgot about health altogether. I knew I was gaining weight but when I stood on the scales this morning I weighed 185lbs! I don’t think I feel/look 55lbs over my goal weight but the scales don’t lie!
In the last year I’ve been having stomach problems and I’ve finally identified that I’m intolerant to both lactose and gluten. This has a big impact on my weight as I bloat like crazy and this causes huge fluctuations in weight. So I’ve set my goal of 25lbs to lose but I’m going to be focussing more on things like dress size and measurements.
Starting: 185
April 14th: 185
September 1st weigh in goal: 160
Ultimate goal: 130
Sorry for the very long message!

Since this is about accountability, I have to tell on myself. I've been very good about logging accurately, allowing little treats here and there but logging them and not going over board.
Until last night.
My daughter's Easter basket. She's 2, she won't eat that Lindt chocolate rabbit right? No nutritional info but there was a bar code. I thought, eh, ill scan and log it tomorrow.
This morning, I look at the wrapper, like a drunk with a hangover looking at last night's bar receipt, and scan it to yesterday's log.
548 calories!!??!!!
So. Not. Worth. It.
Eating super healthy today. Easter is over, so is the chocolate.5 -

Hi everyone. We are about to embark on week 3. I will be doing a weekly weigh in and posting it tomorrow. For this next week let’s really concentrate on drinking enough water throughout the day. Keep up the good work team. We got this.8

I"m in too! That's the magic number! Add me too0

So the last two days have been aweful. I haven't logged, Ate terribly and drank even more. It is these habits that got me to this weight. I realised this morning as i woke up feeling bloated and gross that I have not been giving this journey my all and I need to change that.
This week I promise to log each day AND try to hit my workout goal of 3 x 30min workouts.
Spring has yet to arrive but when it does i can start walking to and from work, so that will help too.
Have a great week all!8 -
I'm also in please feel free to add me.

Left cold, wet upstate NY yesterday just under 200 **finally** to spend the week on the beach in sunny southern Florida. No scales in site, just tikki bars, pina coladas and lots of happy people on holiday! Hoping to - no, planning to - walk daily, swim, and not go overboard. Wish me luck!
