I put the weight on as I have Hasimoto disease and i was having trouble walking - long story short after 3 yrs they diagnosed arthritis in my knee! by that time i have put another 5 stone on as i couldn't exercise.. been having injections in my knee for the passed 3 years, every 4 months which wears off after about 2 - end up using sticks for the other 2 months!!I work full time - I have been on a low carb diet ( no sugar/fruit/diary/carbs/alcohol ) with a 'cheat day' once a week - since September last year i have managed to lose 23lb - but as you will see Goal 1 ( which they said i need to reach to approve surgery is a very long way away ) and i'm very low at them moment as i'm in a great deal of pain and cant see any movement on the scale to spur me on

Can you get in the water and do water walking/jogging? Be diligent in logging, you can get there!!!!0 -
Hello! I'm trying to be under 200 (or as close to it as possible) by my birthday at the end of May. Please feel free to add me!
I have been notoriously losing and gaining the same 20 lbs for about 5 years. Never quite getting under 200 but i refuse to enter my 30's in this weight range.
5'2
Heaviest weight: 225 (haven't seen this number in 5 years)

Tracking my meals really helps. It's really rough to see all the Easter chocolate when I go to the store. Staying motivated because I love the positive results!

GW #1: 180
March has been up and down for me. TOM came in at the end of February and after 16 days, I got a 2 day reprieve but it's back today. I was down to 216.2 before the weekend but due to alcohol and a hangover sodium binge, I was back to 219. I skipped my workout in favor of a walk with my dog yesterday but I'm back at the gym today. My goal for March is to hit 215 and get my energy drink consumption from daily to 4-5 days a week!
So it's 3/15 and I hit 214.0 today. Since March is only half way over, my new goal is to hit 210.0 by the end of the month!1 -

GW: 130
- weight training 6 days a week
- Couch to 5k 3-4 days a week
- Yoga daily
I started a Beachbody program for the weight training: Body Beast. I’m on day4 today.
I’ve installed C25k on my phone. Today will also be day4.
I missed one yoga session last night and can definitely feel it! Body Beast warm up and cool down is a joke so that yoga is necessary! Completely new to both serious weight training and yoga. Have been playing with Zombies Run for more than a year so cardio is easier at this point.
Looking forward to checking in during March Madness!1 -
Count me in too!
SW: 230+
CW: 227
GW: will re-evaluate at 175
March goals:

- WAY more water....
- and try something random like 25 squats before parking it on the couch at the end of the night?1 -
Completed day4. Somehow just reporting this strengthens my determination to continue. Today, I:
Logged all food and exercise.
Finished wk1 day4 Body Beast, Shoulders.
Finished day4 C25k (technically wk2 day1, but same difference.)
Finished wk1 day4 Yoga 3 Week Retreat. Where have I been that I’ve never committed to yoga before??
And walked two ornery dogs 2.5 miles to calm them down
See you tomorrow!2 -

GW: 180
Size 18 jeans fit, had to make a new hole in my belt. I got a surprise/extra period that threw my progress out of whack this weekend. March is turning out to be one heck of a roller-coaster month. My new goal for March now is to just get under 200 and stay there....AbbieOffman wrote: »Two weeks in:
Down to 201.8, so almost to goal #1. I tried on my next size jeans and I could do them up without sucking in my tummy, but i think they'll fit better in a few more pounds. I've gotten more serious about IF, doing either 10-6 or 11-7, day depending.SW: 220
CW: 204
GW: 180
March Goals:
See a 1 as a first digit on the scale.
Fit, comfortably, into the next size down jeans.
Try intermittent fasting & up my 'good' fats.

March goals:- Track every day
- Get back to 10,000 steps (currently 800-5,000/day)
- Stop scarfing everything in sight on the weekends
- Cook real food at home
- Stop snacking after supper
MAR 19
daily tracking - 80% of the time - logging on every day
10,000 steps - getting there, got sick and fell back a bit, but 2-3 days a week?
weekends - better - healthy snacks in the house - baby carrots for when I lack control
real food - grilling on the George Foreman!
CW 205!!1 -
Day 5. Food situation bleak until notice that reinforcements will arrive tomorrow lifted morale.
-Body Beast day5 Beast Cardio and Abs. Didn’t give 100% today and am fussing about it. Lethargic and hungry but am taking steps to change that.
-C25k day5 done with more enthusiasm earlier in the day. Dog walk upped daily steps to 14k.
-Skipped yoga.
Rest day is tomorrow. Beyond food prep, I plan on getting in some yoga just for the stretches.1 -
SW: 236
CW: 209-212
GW: 189 (at least phase 1).
Keep cals under 1200 daily, closer to 1050 daily (I am sedentary)
Pool jogging 2x per week
Home low impact 2x per week
Weigh in under 207 at the end of March
Just lost my wellness coach to a job change - hope to find another one before months end
Add iron, based on recent lab result.
Well I’m still at the same weight, but my range is 209-211 mostly, doing pool work not enough low impact. 2 days cals were over, but not by much. Still hopeful I’ll reach 207. TOM hit me Feb 7 and never stopped, multiple hormone pills by obgyn to try to stop it, so I’ll take the maintenance. Really motivated to get to wonderland.1 -

Well today I have decided to get rid of the cookies that are in my desk drawer. I am going to give them away. I want to get my act together for April 1st. I am tired of my clothes not fitting and I refuse to buy new clothing. So I am getting my act together. I looked at my log from last year and I had lost 20 lbs and I was feeling really good. I know that I have be indulging with sweets like crazy. I know that once i put that down and focus on healthy stuff i do alot better. I am praying and asking God to help me get through this. I don't want to have diabetes which is in my family. I got get my life on track.1
