    Good morning! I’m not really a big talker so this will be as simple as possible lol. I’ve tried every diet there’s to try, Some work some don’t. My problem has ALWAYS been maintaining my goal weight once I’ve reached it.

    What works best for me= portion control combo with calorie counts plus the bummer of getting up off the couches hahaha.

    You can follow me on fitnessPal

    Official weigh in= 216.8 as of today
    Short term weight goal= 180
    Long term weight goal= 140

    Peaked weight= 245
    This years peaked weight= 225
    Lowest weight= 120

    @ZuWainah we have similar stats.

    My heaviest weight ever was 245
    I started here at 234
    I am currently at 200.2
    My interim goal is 180
    My ultimate goal is 150.

    I have gotten close to 200 in the past but then there is some sort of mental block that I havent figured out yet and my weight will go back up. This time I an getting past that mental block and have started referring to it as taking bricks out of the wall that is stopping me.... one brick (pound) at a time.

    @swauters that’s so cool! What’s your height if you don’t mind? Have you ever reached your goal weight?

    @swauters Maintaining your goal weight is a challenge for you as well? I can hit it, I just can’t keep it. The longest I’ve kept my weight off was about two years with about 20 lbs added or subtracted, and that was with me in the gym 3 times a day plus in between at home( Without exaggerating). The gym was my home base.

    Ran-walked my 5k today! 51 min 15 sec at a rate of 15:51 min miles. Tracking hasn’t worked food wise - we’ve been on the run and my phone did something awful yesterday so everything I had marked down disappeared. Worse the scale is definitely showing my lack of discipline 😳. All good though, back on track!

    Thanks @enyagoboom for making me think about this months goals.

    - I want to do my run training as intended every week this month.
    - add weight training 3x/week
    - track ALL calories, even when I know I have eaten enough for a week in one day
    - I have 3 weight goals this month. I am currently at 200.2 lbs. So goal 1- get to 199.8 to dip under 200. Goal 2- get to 199 to be at 35 lb weight loss. Goal 3- get to 197 to be in the overweight category and out of obese.

    Sunday 6.2.19
    Tracked: yes
    Under : yes
    Exercise: yes 20 minute yoga

    I'm very happy that I did all 3 on a Sunday. It is usually a lazy day with lots of snacks. I decided I needed to stop letting Sundays be an excuse not to work toward my goals.

    I can't believe the 1st day of June is already over 😳 the time is flying. I had a good day today. Finished out under my calories with the help of active calories. We had a bbq with family while the kids were swimming. I got in 15,148 steps today. I can't do many exercises bc of a bad knee and back so I push myself to do as much walking 🚶 as I can everyday. Hope everyone else had a great start to this June. If anyone follows Instagram I try to keep myself on track 👣 with posts of my journey on there. It's a way for me to kind of document things for me to look back on but also if I can inspire someone else at the same time...that would be amazing. My Insta username is Mandy_tries_again.

    @mirendybryant, glad you were able to start June off on a positive note!! Walking is great exercise if you can keep it up!!
