Weekly weigh in, last week was 187 and today I weighed in at 184.8, which puts me officially (very ever so slightly) in the overweight BMI range down from the obese range! I celebrated with a 5 mile walk (with occasional jogging spurts cuz it’s ridic cold out).6

Good luck, Tracy! It’s hard not having cheerleaders. I’m in the same boat here. I’m surrounded by pregnant people so I obviously don’t want to discuss weight loss with them while they need to gain for healthy babies. The rest of my friends all have major life issues going on right now so it’s my turn to support them for now. My poor husband has been my only outlet for awhile so it’s why I came to the forums.5

Yes, it’s hard to hear those words “obese” but look at the bright side, you’re on your way to a healthier you!!keishajohnsonlj wrote: »MissTeriAnn wrote: »Would love to lose 20 pounds by February 🙌 count me in! I’m currently 165 at 5’3”.
Goal by February 145 😊
I have same issue. Im 5'3" at 162. Went to doctor and was told I'm "OBESE " Like really, OMG!!!!
My last appointment the doctor said “your not going to like what I have to say but YOU NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT” lol. I smiled and said “I know and I’m on my way towards it” I was 180 so I know I can lose another 20 but I need to stay committed. This is by far the most challenging journey I’ve had in my life. Lol.
I think by February we can lose a nice chunk off! 😊3 -
Well here’s my weekly weigh in. I slacked off this week. Stopped T25 because my husband stopped too and didn’t meal prep. I went shopping so I have some healthy foods to meal prep for the next few day. I started work again after maternity leave and I noticed I like to snack. I bought almonds and that’s been saving me from eating unhealthy. No weight loss but absolutely no gain either. I’m stating to wonder if my scale is broken lol.
I’d love some recommendations for a scale. I’d like to buy one that includes the body fat.
Anywhoo, have a great Sunday! Thankfully we have no plans so I will be home, I’ll meal prep and take the dog and baby to the park

I am in! I get weighed by my doctor every three weeks. Starting weight-172. Yes, hoping to be down 20 pounds by Feb4

I am so inspired by all you guys pushing for hitting those goals, and some hitting them! Way to go!!
I weighed myself this morning and I was 2lb less, but I think it has more to do with not having breakfast yet, and the big #2 which occurred previously.
*sigh. The anticipation of potentially keeping that number tomorrow or the next is making it hard for me to focus hahaa.
Here I go!!2 -
Am I too late?!

As the evening hit,I decided to weigh myself. I didn't eat much this evening, so I'm not expecting it to stay down. BuT!!
For the first time in 5 months, I have hit under 200 in the evening weight!!! 199.2 (198 this morning!!).
Gotta keep it for a week to believe it tho.

Help..... Why am I so hungry? Went over my calorie goal two days in a row and it's so smoky from the fires here that I didn't get my walk in for two days. Scale's up and I'm down. Feeling discouraged:(0

I'm in need to lose another 24lbs would love to achieve this by Feb . Anyone got any dinner ideas fed up with chicken and fish or need some inspiration on different things to do with them ?1

Tthickens, maybe stress related? I know I eat big when stressed and that certainly sounds stressful. When I am having a very hungry day I switch to lighter calorie foods with lots of protein and fiber that I keep around specifically for those occasions. Also, This time of year I make many many mugs of tea. No sugar or milk, just hot tea. If you have amazon prime, they have lots of workout videos for being stuck indoors. We have snow and ice right now so I’ve been doing that myself. I miss the sun. :-/1

Could be extra stress or if your period is coming up (I can’t tell if you are a woman or man) then that can make you feel more hungry. Everyone has days they go over their calories. I’ve gone over twice this week. Unless you are eating A LOT 3500 over your maintenance to gain 1 lb) the scale going up is not actual fat gain its most likely just water weight so don’t fret about it, it will come off again.1 -
I'm new to the forum portion of MFP and I've been off and on about tracking and working out. I recently had a baby girl, she's our rainbow baby after two other tries. I've found a new sense of responsibility and strength, so I want to use this as motivation to do the things I've been putting off. I've been logging food very meticulously for the past couple days. Just yesterday I was telling my wife as she was beginning to throw away my label for a snack I had, "Wait! I need that to log my food in MFP. You can scan the bar code and it will input all the nutrition info automatically."
I've also been cutting back on late night eating and eating unnecessarily.
Along with the food logging, I've been back on my training plan after almost a year break. It's a slightly modified version of Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Shred program from bodybuilding.com. It consists of mostly weights, but you're suppose to do a 1 minute cardio workout in between every rep. I'm opting to just do 1 run/jog day for 45 minutes. So far, I'm on track with the program and hurt like hell. I tried starting off with lifting the weight I did when I stopped a year ago, but it didn't work out as planned haha; Bringing it back down to a manageable weight so I don't hurt myself.
One easy thing I found to do at work was to stand for the 8 hours. I thought my feet would hurt a lot more than they do, but it's not too bad. Plus, by the end of the day you will have burned almost 1000 calories just by being upright and breathing. It's almost like a cheat code I wish I had used it many years ago.
Anyhow, I like reading everyone's posts about how they are doing and what their progress is. Even if we don't make our immediate goals, know that if you're persistent, you'll get where you're going someday. Just keep at it and good luck to everyone!4
