    kydztoi we are so proud of you, it felt awesome didn't it, and it was the feeling of a new beginning.

    There are 12 more of you that need to step on that scale and claim the number. If you are not sure how to transfer the challenge/accountability scale here is what you need to do;

    left click on the top of the scale
    drag down to the bottom of January
    let go
    point on the blue area and right click
    click on copy
    go down and left click on your new message box
    then click paste

    I have been looking for a group like this!!
    I currently weigh 262 pounds. I have always struggled with my weight - of course I didn't know it when I weighed 140 pounds that I was not overweight but I certainly felt like it. Now however, it is bad. I sunk a kayak - it had its own issues but I weigh so much the kayak was low enough to take on a lot of water and the kayak went under. You would think that would have done it for me but no, that did not do it. I am not sure what it was. I even have a full out home gym and that did not get me motivated. I guess I am tired of being tired. Tired of not fitting in clothes I like. Oh yeah and I might have signed myself up for a "princess run" in June - that is certainly motivating. I figure I need to get in good enough shape to not look ridiculous doing this run.
    My hobbies/enjoyments are cross stitching, crocheting, hanging out with friends, I am learning to grow veggies and I love to ride my motorcycle.
    I have two fur babies! Prissy who is a a torti and Spaz who is a mini panther (he is my picture).

    At the doctor, I weighed nearly 300. Eep. True, I got a divorce in 2019 and moved twice, so there may have been some disordered eating in there.

    But, time for a change. I'll weigh myself again on Friday and see how I'm doing.

    I'm 46, have a fiance and a girlfriend, two grown sons, and am 5'7". Underneath the hundred extra pounds I'm not a sylph; I'm a solid farm girl with broad shoulders, strong legs and lots of curves. So I'm aiming for 180-ish, and I'd like a good part of that to be solid muscle. I don't mind at all being big if I'm big and strong.

    The other reason I'm aiming for 180-ish is that if I can get there and stabilize that will put me in the territory where I can get abdominoplasty done. I don't think I'll need help anywhere else, but I had three nine-pound babies in my twenties, and it split my abs and stretched my skin and that's going to take surgery to repair. I'm not ruling out a breast reduction sometime after that, as I wear a G cup and I do feel it in my shoulders. But, again, I need to get the weight off myself before I start getting help with reshaping myself into the woman I want to be for the rest of my life.

    Welcome on board celticck77 and theleadmare, celtic, I'm glad to meet someone else who rides, what do you have for a bike ? leadmare, I know how you feel, I was born and raised in the white mts of NH and with 3 older brothers, I was taught everything from splitting wood to greasing tractors. I look at myself and know it's not a fat, there's muscle under all that fluff.

    I would love to be apart of this group! I recently got laid off and have been eating out of boredom and gained 13 lbs in 2 months (222 lbs😩) I'm on track so far and have been doing good for 2 days. My bf and I are supporting each other in our weight loss, she's doing keto but I'm just eating healthier and cutting back on carbs.

I want to make this change for me and my babies too.

    Hi! Day 2 almost done. I ate so healthy today! Saw my endocrinologist today and told her I commit to losing 20+ pounds by my next appointment in three months, but I really hope it's more. My knee felt quite a bit better today. The treadmill is coming next Monday! I think that I will enlist the help of my sister in taking a before picture tomorrow. I'll check in tomorrow!

    I started a new 30 day challenge this month to track what I eat every day. I'm trying to implement good habits one month at a time through these challenges. Last month, I developed a habit of taking vitamins daily - it should be so simple but I've never been good about vitamins. I'm using a Commit30 fitness planner and so far I like it quite a bit. In order to improve my diet and increase my exercise, I know that vitamins will be more important than ever so I decided to start with that.

    To support the food tracking challenge, I'm planning a meal prep session for this Sunday. I'm hoping that it's a win-win combination. By prepping in advance, I can setup the foods in MyFitnessPal in advance and then tracking what I eat should be a lot easier if I stick to plan. But I'm going to make foods I actually like, just use portion control and make some healthy substitutions where I can.

    My husband always tells me that there is a two week delay so just stick with it and by mid-month I should see some results. So here's where I'm at now and we'll see how that Jan 16 number looks! :wink:

    Jan. 2: 261

    Sooo I went a little high on the calorie count yesterday. I did a big workout on my total gym so I had extra burned calories but I did not intend to use them. Not terrible but about 300 calories over. Not beating myself up just being accountable to myself. I need to have a plan for dinner better, breakfast and lunch are good for the most part. Although I just realized I forgot to bring my carrots to snack on today.

    I just got tired of looking for what I needed, pushed the create button and away I went, or I should say, away we went. and I can relate to the riding jacket, I had to put extenders on my vests as well.

    Be aware ladies, this week is almost over and 9 of you have yet to claim the number on the scale as an official starting weight, around this or about that means you haven't looked lately. If your going to be accountable for what your doing, good and bad, this year is the year to do it.

    Celticck77 has a point...if we had a group, i would totally join it. And since we already have 5 pages of replies, this could get out of hand quickly, especially if it serves its purpose.
