Lol, I felt the same way. I ended up absolutely loving 🥰 it and competed, trained 4-5 times a week. Achieved my 🥋 black belt. Do for fun check out karate bloopers on you tube if you ever need a good laugh.

I’ve been struggling a bit. But this group is so great. I really am glad I joined in Jan. Not really sure why it’s been a struggle the last month or 2. But I’m determined to get over it.

To Gloria, been praying for your mom.

Thanks appreciate it ❤

🗣Comments/Goals: Went a bit over my fasting calories— it’s so hard to get back into IF after a holiday weekend—next week will be worse—UGH. At least I am still close to my calorie goal + I was able to do my strength training (only body weight on the squats for half of the track, bc of my back….but the rest went ok). Just thankful that I can still workout.

🗣Comments/Goals: Hello again---- 😣 I'm back to confess my aftermath of snacking and dessert.... OVER my goal calories, at my maintenance calories. Will try for a fasting day tomorrow again. It is so impossible for me to do a successful IF 5:2 week right after a holiday---it takes me 2-3 weeks to get back into it and then another holiday happens--DOH!!!🤦🏻‍♀️😖😫😩😖 I will have some serious work to do to get back at it in May.

WE SHALL KEEEEP GOOOOOING!!!!

I agree. I don’t do IF but it is hard to get back on track especially after a holiday. Hang in there. You will get there.

Hey gang. We are half way through our last week here in April. I’ve struggled a lot these last 2 months, but I am finally starting to feel like I am getting my groove back.

I have been there.... I actually maintained most of last year, instead of continuing my weight loss.... It happens. You fall out of the groove, and then something kicks your motivation into gear, and you are back in!
I stayed with this group through all of it, and having my weekly weigh ins really helped keep me in check.
I have been with this group since December 2017, and I don't plan on leaving until my ultimate goal is reached. And even then, I might be on the cheer squad for a while, just to keep accountable and work on maintaining.
Just by being here, and checking in, you are doing more than most. Even if you aren't losing. Just keep at it, and your mojo will come back and kick your weigh loss into gear again!
