    I just found this thread and see there hasn’t been any post since January 2019. But this is a super great idea! I’m looking for more motivation and encouragement and maybe this will enhance my weight loss journey and help me not to give up. My focus just for today:
    is drinking 64 oz of water ( @least)...make more veggie selection in each meal.. track all my meals/snacks today! No stressing ! Live Laugh Love!!!

    You may need to log in, this is a very active board, but I have found that sometimes it reverts to January when it thinks I'm not logged in.

    Hi all! I haven't been here for forever and I've missed all of you.
    Reading the posts and seeing everyone having such a rough time I just want to hug you all for hours.
    FYI I've had to retire from work which is a good thing, but for a not so great health reasons. For the same reasons, my garden is now gone.

    It's nice to see you. I hope your health issues resolve soon.

    Hi everyone, late checking in today because I was determined to do my workout first but procrastinated the whole morning. Glad I forced myself though, and actually had fun with the kids joining in for some of it. I needed to get it in because the past 24 hours have been pretty rubbish food wise! Resetting now - what’s done is done and onward! Heading out with the kids shortly and then back to get chores and work done

    Saturday goals recap:
    - reports (4 done, maybe more later) ✅ up to 19 now! 10 more to write...
    - Warrior class 8:15am ✅
    - Shopping (school shoes, summer clothes for kids, make-up for me) ✅
    - Laundry ✅
    - Start cleaning ✅
    - Afternoon walk and grocery shop with kids ❎
    - Bed by 10❎

    Sunday goals
    - morning workout ✅
    - online grocery shop ✅
    - finish cleaning
    - finish laundry ✅
    - reports
    - walk/jog with kids to cafe and health food store
    - Post new baby card
    - bed by 10

    Have a good Sunday everyone x

    Good morning! Yesterday I did not do well goal wise. I also took a four hour nap in the middle of the day, but I guess I needed it! My husband is the one that really needs it though, he's been working all weekend and is completely exhausted (he lays tile). I hope he can take a day or two off during the week once this job is done.

    Today I'm going with my parents to an open house, and tomorrow we have our very first appointment with a realtor to look at houses! We are first time buyers so the process is so foreign to us, luckily my mom is a former realtor so she can offer us a lot of advice. After living with my parents for the last two years, it will be really nice to have a house to call our own and grow into.

    Today I'm determined to stick to my goals. I haven't really gained any weight (from what I can tell, still somewhat bloated) but I haven't lost any either in the past month. I have gotten stronger though so I guess that is still a win.

    @Snowflake1968 just want to give you a big hug!

    I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

    Yesterday 5/25:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁
    2. Stay within calorie goal😞
    3. Get a minimum of 5,000 steps😞
    4. Wash clothes😞
    5. Put away laundry😞

    @korina75 - I enjoyed your wisdom this morning. It’s very similar to the truth hurts.

    @faebert - I’ve had too many of those days recently.

    @ginnytez - you had a busy day yesterday.

    @aubyshortcake - so exciting buying your first home! It’s good to have an experienced person to help you. Hugs back to you!

    Sunday 'at 26

    Checking in late and I did not post goals this morning. I will try to catch up tomorrow!

    I am probably in the green but I've not logged again and I met Fitbit goals by walking in the house. It was wet and windy out and I did not venture far beyond the front door. We have 6 B and B guests and they all want something different for breakfast tomorrow!

    @aubyshortcake Good luck with the househunting! I'm a realtor in the states, it's always so much fun to work with a first time homebuyer.

    @daneejela So true! It's very inspiring to see so many just owning it every day and living life/moving forward with every step. We all stumble but y'all help me just get right back up. <3


    @ginnytez Hope the parade was a success and you had lots of fun!

    I was MIA for a few days and now I am finally done catching up with all posts.

    I want to hug so many of you and tell you that everything is gonna be ok! <3 I don't know if you are aware of it, but you are such strong women, I am amazed every day!
    Almost everyone here has some huge real-life challenge to overcome that most people would just give up or postpone any fitness/weight goals, but you come here, show up, do what needs to be done, if you fail someday, you just keep getting up, keep finding solutions, new approaches, new motivations. Some days you make big steps, some days you make tiny steps, but you keep going.
    I know that you will succeed in your goals because you do not wait for a perfect life, for ideal circumstances, for care - free periods...I just think it has such a huge value.

    @daneejela YOU ARE AWESOME! WONDERFUL UPLIFTING POST!! YOU SEE WHAT I SEE AND MANY OTHERS AS WELL.
    THAT'S ONE THING THAT BRINGS ME BACK... FIRST... IT'S THE LOVE, ADMIRATION, AND RESPECT THAT I HAVE FOR
    THESE WOMEN. THEN IT'S THE GENUINE COMPASSION FOR ONE ANOTHER. NOBODY'S BETTER THAN
    ANYBODY, WE ARE PERFECTLY FLAWED AND WE'RE NOT PASSING JUDGEMENT. WE ARE FEARFULLY AND
    WONDROUSLY MADE TO BE WHO WE ARE. WE ARE BEAUTIFUL! WE ARE FIGHTERS! WE ARE
    DETERMINED! WE HAVE PURPOSE! AND WE'RE GONNA KEEP GOING WITH THE BANNER OF
    VICTORY IN OUR HEARTS. I LOVE IT! I LOVE ALL OF YOU! AND EACH DAY IN MY SPIRIT IT MAKES
    ME FEEL LIKE RUNNING AND SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF MY VOICE.."WE WIN BECAUSE WE'RE
    WINNERS"!!!
    MAN I GET JUICED UP ABOUT THIS THREAD! 😁😅 HALLELUJAH! YIPPIEEEEE!!!

    JFT 5/27

    Eat mindfully within calories
    90 minutes exercise
    Healthy Choices 5 veg/2 fruit
    Drink lots of water
    Keep sodium low today
    Max out points on apple watch challenge


    Today should be decent. I have some work stuff going on but will also get to spend some quality time with my family. I overindulged a bit Friday and Saturday and then got my period yesterday so no weight loss for me this week which stinks bc I have been working so hard! However, I know that if I keep it up I'll continue to lose. I'm within 15 lbs of my goal and I'm hoping to reach it by the end of the summer. I know I can do it and it's a long game, I don't want to try and lose so quickly that I can't sustain the weight loss. Plus I am really enjoying my newfound athletism (who knew I'd get more athletic in my 40's!). I am still a very very slow runner but I love power walking and running HIIT so that's my happy combo at the moment. Plus I'm getting outside a lot more which I enjoy and giving my kids a good example of health and balance. Anyway, going to focus on the things I can control today, the positive, that I can get outside and move my body, I can cook all meals at home today and make lots of healthy choices, and I can indulge within my calories and have some fun with my family too. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today makes time to practice some self care!

    Good Morning! Good Morning!
    I have already drank 50oz. of water and counting... Lol… the fact that our AC is on the fritz has played a great part
    in my H2O guzzling... LMBO! It's been so hot in our home that we have to go outside to get cool and the
    Temperature was 95 yesterday outside... soooo yeah! Sweat pools up in my glasses... It's the funniest thing
    to me. It's so hot that my eyeballs are swimming😂😂😂 It's so hot I asked the family who made the devil mad.
    It was so hot that I didn't have to turn on the shower, I just stood in the tub and soaped up and the sweat rinsed
    it right off. It's so hot when I sweated I made steam, so I hung the laundry and stood next to it so the wrinkles
    would come out.😂😂😂😂 It's so hot I'm planning on bottling my sweat and call it "ODE DEZ FUMES"😂

    HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!

    Good morning! Yet again I ate way too much, and for the first time ever I skipped my workout for no reason other than I just didn't wanna. It's crazy how much hormones can affect things.

    @korina75 thank you so much! I'm really excited and nervous.

    @maryrobinson40 where do you live? Your weather sounds a lot like ours!

    Yesterday 5/26:

    1. Give Rukia her a.m. pills 😁

    3. Get a minimum of 5,000 steps😁 I actually got 15,000 because I needed to get myself out of the house to stop eating everything!
    4. Do workout😞
    5. Put away laundry😞 no but I did wash a load

    Last week I was not very consistent with staying on task and keeping my calories in check. I know PMS played a part but this week there is no excuse!! I must keep motivated and focused. I'm down 11 lbs in 30 days so I need to keep the momentum going 💪😁

    I hope you all enjoy the holiday today (if that applies). It's the beginning of a new week, new day and fresh start!! 🤗

    Stay strong!!

    I have been consistently losing 2lbs per week. I am doing everything that I need to and seeing the results I expected. Yet, I feel emotionally “meh”. Why? I don’t know. I have a long weight loss journey before me. I somehow need to find motivation.

    JFT:
    Stick with my plan
    Trust Jesus to help
    20 minutes cardio
