Not a good day I hosted a fundraiser for Guidedogs uk afternoon cream tea, only had one scone with jam and cream. It was lovely. Don’t feel to guilty it was in a good cause.2

I’ve been riding the struggle bus over the past year. I’m starting a nursing program next month and I work in a Crisis unit and a mental health facility so my job is very high stress as well. Oh AND I’m a single mom, but I want to loose about 35 pounds over the next year or so, I just can’t seem to stick to anything. I’ve tried low-carb but I feel restricted and low-calories but I keep going over. However I do feel more satiated with being able to eat whatever as long as I’m staying under calories. I’m hoping by joining in this community I’ll have reasons to hold myself accountable and make progress this year!
Goals- Walk at least 30 minutes on my 4 days off.

Weigh in day for me today and I'm feeling pretty good about seeing a 4lb loss. I've been working hard and staying 100% on track, really hoping I can stick with it and lose a few more lbs this week.
How's everybody else doing?7 -
I can't seem to drop under 240... I've been stuck here for a couple weeks.
I know weight loss isn't linear but it's frustrating.3 -

I am in the same boat, I have been stuck for about a week in a half ( I know that's not a long time but ugh ) no movement ..Just waiting for that whoosh loss to happen. ..2 -
I’ve been stuck for months! Let’s fight through it.4

Hello!
New to this board and looking to make some connections in my weight. It’s been quite awhile since I have really given it my all to lose weight. I have 2 boys, ages 2 and 5, and I stay at home. I find motivation to keep going on weight loss difficult. But at 240 and NEVER thought it would be this bad.....EVER.
I hope to talk more with you all! 😊2 -
New to My fitness Pal, looking for motivation and support. So ready to get this weight off. Please add me6

Okay, so last week began with my birthday cheat day 🎂 and ended with a vacation, so my calories have been a little all over the place. I only got one gym day in, but I did a lot of yardwork, cleaning, and moving stuff around all week, so it wasn't all bad.
This summer seems like it's going to be a little hectic, not being home and near my gym as much as I'd like. But I think if I can bring along my food scale and keep active as best I can, I should be alright! 🤞🤞🤞2 -
Finally! It wasn't a whoosh but I finally saw 239 on the scale. Officially into the 230's at last. Considering my heaviest was 276 at the beginning of the year, that's pretty crazy.
@tamz81 Today's meal plan:
Breakfast: Yogurt cup, honeycrisp apple, large coffee with milk and sugar.
Lunch: Chicken thigh and green beans w/salt and a little butter.
Dinner: impossible cheeseburger pie. It's one of the higher calorie things we make but it's sooo good. It's ground beef, pancake mix and cheese, basically.8 -
SW: 304 lbs (Nov 2018)
CW: 281 lbs
End of July GW: 277 lbs
GW: 238
Hope it's not too late to join. I've been back to using MFP the last couple of week tracking all of my food intake. I'm trying to hit between 1600 - 1800 calories no lower.
I've read that some of you are stuck, maybe try increasing your calories a bit for a week and see if that helps, or if you're low carb, have a higher carb day. I've heard that if you are in a plateau you need to switch it up a bit. It's about hormones for us women.4 -
Lol not sure why my food resulted in woos. It's not that weird.
Might try to find an alternative to chicken thigh though. It's kinda fatty. I like my chicken lean.1 -

Hi y’all! (We say “y’all” in Texas!) I hope it is okay to join this group. I am looking for encouragement and accountability as I try to break through the 200 lb floor that I haven’t been able to break since delivering my youngest 3 years ago. I like how this group is focused on actions as well as results for their goals, and look forward to more encouragement to come!

Hi! I just started back at work from maternity leave and decided to come back to MFP at the same time. It's day three now...and with two kids it's incredibly hard to stay motivated and not stress eat so maybe this group will help! I've been over 200 since my first pregnancy (and during my teen years I also was, lost it in my 20s and stayed in the 140s-150s for years, then slowly gained back when a bunch of personal life stuff happened). I'd like to get back down there as that is where I felt my healthiest!

Recommend no cereal in am, maybe yogurt or cottage cheese and berries, add a little am snack like veggies and a couple of nuts, for lunch skip any butter or oil, add seasoning or lime or hot sauce.

Yay congrats!!!2 -
Weighed in this morning. Down to 208.2 lbs. This is going to sound a bit crazy, but I really was planning to lose about a pound to a pound and a half each week. Too much stress in my life.5

I'll be on vacation next week and away from scales, but today the scale said 244.9, which is right where I wanted to be by the end of the month. so hopefully that means I'll have a nice buffer.
I'm definitely looking forward to vacation, but I don't want to lose too much momentum. I plan on logging as much as possible (we're taking amtrak cross-country, and they provide calorie estimates for meals!) and walking all over Portland. Oh, and not getting crazy with alcohol. 😊7 -
So a last minute work trip hindered my workout plan for the month. I've managed to lose 3lbs by just sticking to my daily calorie goals but I haven't been able to squeeze in a full workout. I'm hoping to get two in this weekend. Not going as planned but still losing so I'm taking this as a win. Just gotta keep going!!! Good vibes for July!7

Weighed in yesterday. Down to 208.2 lbs. I’m pleased with how July is going so far. Hard to believe July is almost half over.

First part of the month I was logging faithfully but the scale wasn't moving. Finally, finally, starting to shed some pounds again. Lost 19 lbs since June 4th, 3.2 since July 1. On track to lose 10 by end of July!7
