    Good walk today.

    Weigh in tomorrow. Expecting to be up slightly on initial weigh in, but likely only by 1 pound (or less).

    Surprised no one took up my free offer to personally assist/coach them to achieve at least a 3% weight reduction for next month.

    I missed that offer... but just sent you a message. It's so nice of you to offer coaching!

    CW: 140.7 (63.8 kg)

    Bigger reduction than expected. Somehow managed to record below my starting weight for the month ( 141.3 (64.1 kg) ).

    Next month I do not have vacation planned, so I am aiming for 136.4 (61.9kg) . This will be quite a stretch for me and I willing to try bring others along for the journey.

    Sorry I’ve not been active in the group, life is hectic right now. Hopefully it’ll calm down soon so I can check in more often 🤞

    Sorry I haven't posted anything all week... and no weigh-in yesterday.

    So frustrated with myself for the last 2 weeks. Not paying attention to my caloric intake or macros, not exercising, not drinking enough water, and definitely snacking in between meals.

    Good walk again today. Weather is getting warmer.

    @audreypawdrey. Offer is still open for personalised coaching for next month if you want to take it. Note, I will not try coach someone to below a healthy weight (ideally BMI 22). PM me.

    That would be going to bed before midnight.
    It prevents snacking
    It prevents going over my calories
    It gives me 7-8 hours of sleep.
    It helps me start my day earlier.

    I'm realizing that mental health is a huge if not bigger component in getting healthy and in shape. My fiance works out of town a good bit at this new company and that leaves me home alone with a toddler, 10 yr old and a newly hormonal 13 yr old over half of the month lol. It's only here recently I've realized when he's home I'm more health conscious and energetic. When he's gone I'm sluggish and eat my emotions til he's back. My goal for starting off February won't be a number but rather breaking through that fog and staying motivated instead of depressed when he's gone for the week. What are some of y'alls non-numerical goals?

    Wow, that does sound challenging. Great idea to focus on small changes that can be made. My goal is to focus on tracking more. I realize when I don’t track or lose focus on what I’m eating, I tend to over eat (even when I’m not hungry). Good luck! You Can do it!

    This sounds tough...but it also sounds like you are now really aware of how it impacts you, which is awesome!

    I tried a Les Miles Bodypump class on Monday, and it was fun and hard! My biceps were so sore yesterday.
    I went to a 90 minute yoga class tonight and tried a handstand for the first time! My watch says I burned 426 calories. It was a fun class.
    Walked about 8 miles so far this week-3.15 miles this morning!
