Depression...the struggle is horrible. I just said somethings I really shouldn’t have to my daughter. She is going on a college visit with a school group Friday. She wants to sleepover at a friend’s Friday night. I told her she could and we would run home, get her overnight bag and I would take her to her friend’s house. She says no, I’ll take my stuff with me. This trip is a hundred miles away. It is ridiculous for her to try to take this stuff with her. She wasn’t bending, nor was I. So I gave it a knee jerk response and told her to forget the sleepover. Hopefully we can talk it out tomorrow. I know I said this stuff because I’ve just been in a fog lately. Now I feel horrible for everything I said to her.
Sorry for the rant!

@cmsavells it's ok. Parents get to be human and have off days too.
My mom and I never got along while I lived at home, and we fought viciously all the time. But we always made up in the end.
Depression lies. Don't let it convince you that you can't apologize, can't make up, can't work through things. You absolutely can. Your daughter will understand.4 -
Joining this a bit late! It's been a rough month so far, I fell at work the first week of May, then was sick last week and totally ate a lot of bad food over the weekend. Oh well, back on it!
SW: 244
CW: 223
GW: 150
Weekly goals for May:
Exercise at least 5 times a week!
Find ways to stick to my calories while still being social with friends (I struggle with this so bad)
Stick to my IF window at least 5 days a week! I started this month, but find it really helpful for me motivation wise. I try to only eat between noon and 6, while still sticking to my calories.5 -
Ps I am vegan and I meal prep all my meals so if you’re looking for recipe ideas (I always am lol) add me 😊[/quote
My daughter is vegetarian and I mostly eat what I make for her. Would love meal prep ideas! Please add me as my app doesn’t let me (as in I can’t figure it out) make friend requests!0 -

I’ve lost 2.4 lbs so far this month
Goals I’m meeting:
I have logged my calories every day
I have exercised at least 30 min 3 days/week (easy with all of the yard work I have to do!)
Goals I haven’t met:
I have been over my calorie goal on 2 days so far (due to Mother’s Day celebrations). I still have a birthday celebration this week that includes Pizza Hut....I have a weak spot for stuffed crust pizza 🤤 I did make it through a bake sale and Pot luck at work without going over my calories though!
I have been under 1500 ml of water on 5 days. However, I have been over 1000 ml every day and that’s huge for me.4 -

I only dropped 1 pound this week, but it’s still a loss so I’m happy.
My good friend joined Weight Watchers a few weeks ago. He’s lost 17 pounds, but still has a ways to go. He’s no where near One-derland either!4 -

So this past week and a half have been mentally challenging for me. I’m doing Keto ontop of cize, and I have I am very disappointed to admit that I have went off of the rails with my nutrition. But I have managed to keep up with my exercise amazingly.. I have ran into some issues with my weight creeping up but I’m finally back down 3 lbs .. I looked in the mirror today and seen my body slimming out which has given me renewed motivation, so thank you for that Shaun T lol ...But I am mentally trying to get myself back on track with my nutrition and buckle down again !5 -

I have been battling my weight for years. I was roughly 170 when I got pregnant with my 1st 8 years ago and have just shot up from there. I hovered around 185 after having my 2nd kid 4 years ago. Well over the last 18 months I've went from 185 to 215. Mainly because I didn't care. Got tired of not seeing results. I tried deficits, Keto, IF, really everything, and nothing would make the scale budge.
I also have a history of Hashimotos and currently am taking Synthroid 125mcg daily. I had labwork done about a week ago and found out I've gone Hyperthyroid (TSH 0.30), I'm anemic (Total iron 22, with saturation rate of 6%, low MCV, MCH, and Hematocrit, low Creatinine Kinase, and a Vitamin D deficiency) basically I'm a hot mess. I'm seeing my doctor this week for follow up and to figure out what I need to do, but in the mean time I'm getting back on the weight loss wagon.
Currently I drink 96oz of water a day. I've cut out tea and soda, though I'll occasionally have iced tea. I'm okay with tracking my food, and eating okay while at work, it's when I get home and have free rage of the pantry that I have my problems. So to combat that I'm starting intermittent fasting again eating 11:30am to 7:30pm. Before I'd track thru dinner and not have anything logged for after dinner. Now I'll pre-log everything as I have found I do much better that way.
The end of this month is going to be HARD. My birthday is this Thursday and the following Tuesday we leave for Disneyland and will be gone for 4 days. JUNE WILL BE MY MONTH!
This week's goals:
30min walking on treadmill 5 days this week.
Keep drinking 96oz water or more daily
No snacking and stick to my IF schedule.
Lose 4lbs. (it's that TOM right now so I'm holding a ton of water)

Happy to report that I dropped 2 lbs. this week! SOOOOO close to my first 20 lb. loss (.1 away).
Shark Week just started, so we will see if I can maintain/lose with the water retention. My goal is just to not gain anything this week.
Met my steps goal I set for myself... 87,677 steps were walked this last week.
My goal for this upcoming week is 90k.
Also... to limit the snacks. Shark week turns me into a snack-hound. Always feel like I deserve it for being so miserable lol
You ladies are inspiring me every day to make better choices and get up and get moving, even when I want to just be lazy.
Such a great support group!8 -
Last week was a little rough with travel and sitting most of the day, glad to be home. Aiming to tighten my cals and do 4 swimming sessions this week. I saw some pictures of myself in a group, still feeling chunky -I was feeling thinner until I saw the pictures, even more motivated. I really want to see onderland soon. SW 236 CW 203-206 phase 1 goal 190, may goal 199. Going to add more seafood this week.7

I started Orange Theory fitness yesterday. Down from 208 to 201 since May 13 - Nutrisystem + heavy exercise is pretty exhausting! My sleep has been getting better as well, according to my fitbit.
SW: 208
CW: 201
GW: 170
My goal is to hit 170 by the end of the year, Christmas-ish. Hopefully I can keep enjoying Orange Theory. The workout yesterday was pretty hard, but I haven't done real cardio in quite a while, so that alone made it seem harder I think. It's a lot of fun to do a group fitness class where not everyone is doing the same thing at the same time - just feels less judgmental and awkward somehow. I recommend at least the free trial class to anyone that has OT in their area.4
