Hi ladie!
Definitely looking for some support. I feel so unmotivated right now. My SW was 237 back in September 2018 and I started with only cardio (treadmill) 3 times a week at the gym. I gave myself mini rewards for each month I stayed consistent but fell off a bit around the holidays with working out and eating right. I got back into full swing in February of this year at a new gym and started incorporating weights/weight machines along with cardio 3 days a week. I’ve been consistently tracking my food and trying to watch (not super strict though) my carbs and increase my protein intake.
My husband and I saw (and still see) changes in my body but when I got weighed at the doctors in May, it showed my weight was at 248 😫😫😫. I wanted to cry so bad. I confirmed my weight at home with my digital scale. I’m hoping to get back on track and out of this funk!
It could be that you weighed more than that before you had your doctors visit or it could be that although you've lost weight you've also gained muscle. The scale can only show us so much.

Joining the group again because it really has kept me accountable. I am proud to say I have dropped 16lbs in May and I have completed all of the Cize program!! I feel better I look better and I cant wait to keep going!
Goals this month: Start a new beachbody program still debating t20 or 80 day obsession if anyone knows of good ones please let me know.
Keep my diet in check and be a little bit more strict on it
WALK more I have a commute to and from work and I tend to take the lazy way out, So suck it up and finally walk the stairs.

Pre-SW 130’s or 140
SW - was post menopause pregnant way way over 200lbs
After SW - baby born 195 yo-yo up y down around that number
CW - 175
GW- 140’s 150’s anything besides where Im at still.
Perimenopause (menopause restart button got hit),tubal tie,placental abruption, multiple surgeries to fix my insides from baby, bed rest for a year on left side only, 2yr old so trouble excersicing with him wanting me to hold him to eating his snacks call to me on a bad day so growing my willpower! Being old doesn’t help anything.
Was born with inside out uterus to IBS/ colitis/Spastic Colon. So used to be thin no matter what I did...now my metabolism blew a tire lol. I got less stomach symptoms after my son so no more chronic diarrhea. Probably was helping me to stay thin. Feel healthier just normal old folk aches to pains now . Can’t get up off the floor without help need to be able to keep up with the baby! Since my Navy Daughter 20’s grandkids might be in my future to chase too someday. I need to live long enough to see my son graduating college!

Logging daily - 1100 cals. Swimming 4 times a week, Walking 2 twice a week. Add hand weights in the morning when getting up. Food - Tortilla Chips only 1 time a week only. Increase Seafood to once daily. Increase water with lime and mint. Aim for minimal processed food - fresh. My NVS is whiter skin (less yellow tone from cholesterol deposits apparently). If you have yellow below or above your eyes, apparently excess bad cholesterol forms there...the condition is called Xanthelasmas.
These are my eyes in May (no make up)- they are improved and hoping to get even better

June goal weight: 10 lbs changed—either lost or converted to muscle.
I was dreading 2019 owing to looming family illnesses menacing the holidays. Unfortunately, the year has not disappointed. However, it has given me a much-needed kick in the pants. At this rate, I’ll need to shave my head in sisterhood solidarity with chemo-affected family, and I’m no Sinead O’Connor. Mini goal and short term focus is to get 1-2 hrs weight and cardio in, 5 days a week, so that I can rock the shorn look a bit better. Looking at 4-6 weeks max for this first change.8 -
In keeping with this June restart and 10 lbs. changed mini goal, today, (May 31,) I have:
- 5 minutes full out on workplace rowing machine
- 20 minutes front and back lateral pulls workplace weights
- 30 minutes bodyweight glutes/core workout at home
- 5 minutes jumping rope at home
It’s a start, which is miles more than dreaming about starting.7 -
My stomach is better but now the world is on fire and the smoke has blotted out the sun.
Oh well. Down to 247.8 today. I have so far to go still but it's coming off pretty good. It may be possible to hit my mini goal of 200 by Christmas.9 -
Just looking to stay committed to this app. I used it during my second pregnancy and it help me stay on track and not gain a ton of weight. I gained 70lbs with my 3rd and now I’m trying to get back on track while breastfeeding. My goal this month is to log my food diary every day.

Just getting started
again. My goal is to walk 30 minutes a day 3 days a week after work. Track my food for the next 30 days and check my progress.
Incorporating a Fitbit Alta to track my steps. I’m going to eat more fish and vegetables. Stop stressing things I cannot control and invest in my personal health goals. Have more confidence because I’m making a change. Share my good and bad so I force myself to succeed.7 -
Hello ladies...just looking for a push in the right direction but mostly just some accountability. I've always been on the heavier side and struggle with stress eating. I married my hubby about 6 months ago and we have started talking about having a family. Sad part is the only thing I could think about was the pregnancy weight gain. For myself, my sanity, and for future children (if I'm blessed with them) I'd love to lose some weight starting now
A goal of mine is to lose about 30 pounds by September. Which I think is completely possible for someone who is over 200.

My second month with this group, yay! I have friended most everyone from May and I’m so glad. I have found that the inspiration and encouragement from this group of women has been one of the most helpful things for me. I also find it helpful to see that everyone else struggles too; I can be very hard on myself. Thank you everyone! 💕
For June, I have been thinking about habits I have developed that are bad or that make me feel bad, and wanted to incorporate those things as goals. I also want to feed my soul this month; like many of you, I have struggled with depression. In May, I actually did my gardening (for 2 years I’ve neglected them). My yard is looking awesome, and I’m feeling awesome!

Goals:
• On my days off, not to sit at my dining room table for more than 2 hours in the morning. I will then get up and get busy.
I will do this literally half the day; drinking tea and playing on my phone. I have such a high stress job that on my days off I feel I “deserve” to relax. I do, BUT this is a terrible habit for my mind and body.
• I will do at least one creative project this month.
I am a very artistic person, and it is something that feeds my soul. I have a chalkboard in my kitchen that I enjoy drawing on. I have not changed the art on it in at least a year!
• I will continue trying to reach 1500 ml of water/day as this is very difficult for me due to my job.
• I will try to increase my sleep to 7 hours/day. I usually average around 6 or less.
I had so many NSV this month. The best one is that all of my clothes are getting loose; including my pajama pants. I felt so bad about myself when my stretchy pants didn’t fit me anymore, so I’m on top of the world!

I had to go back and look at my May goals. I had really wanted to lose 50 lbs by today so I could tell anybody who asked at my friend’s wedding. I got derailed when my uncle died last week. We’ve had several family gatherings, and I’ve eaten some things I should have stayed away from. Ultimately, I’m down 49 lbs, and I’m OK with that because it’s still a 6 lb loss in May!
May NSV - I have several so I’ll toss them out one post at a time throughout June as motivators. My victory - somebody at the gym called me their hero for my perseverance. I haven’t skipped a night at the gym since early May.

Hi everyone! Happy weekend! My goal for June is to continue to stay below my calorie goal and more important, cut WAY BACK on sodium! That means cooking more and eating less ready made food. It is so easy to take the easy way out!8

Happy Saturday Ladies!! I’ll be doing a minimum of 30 minutes 5 days out the week of exercise. My goal is to do way more but at minimum I’m gonna get 30 minutes on. Today I think I’m gonna do a dance workout video. 😁
