    @kali31337 Huge CONGRATULATIons!!!

    weigh in daily first thing, that's where the high sodium connection of indian food and 4 lbs jump was noticed.

    @lbostic89 Such a great mindset! I can relate to aching feet and legs at the end of the day, but compression socks (20-30 mmHg) worked wonders! Now my only hard day is Wednesday when I'm on my feet in a tiny area for a full day of surgery cases :/

    @kali31337 Congratulations on ONEderland!!! You're such an inspiration! I'll be focusing on that as a motivator tonight at the gym!

    @CupcakeCrusoe I like data and patterns, too. Good stuff!

    @KristinaPS713 Every day at home, twice a week at work. I hate the discrepancy between the scales at work and home because by the time I get to work I've already had breakfast and have scrubs on. Sometimes it's an 8-pound difference!

    @KristinaPS713 I do just like @sharpdust does. I officially weigh in on Wednesdays and log that weight. I usually step on the scale most days but barely pay attention to it until Wednesday. It's just to make sure things are relatively on track until it's time to record my "official" weight on Wednesday.

    Friday weigh in!

    SW: 245 (doctor weigh-in in January - did not weigh again until 7 Feb)
    2/7: 240
    2/14: 239
    2/21: 239

    Feb GW: a consistent 237
    GW 1: 199
    UGW: 155

    Non-Scale Goals for February (posted 2/3):
    - limit alcohol (13/20 day AF)
    - lose 5lbs (maintained this week, which is fine since I didn’t track as closely, ate out twice and had some wine)
    - walk 6 days a week, and begin couch to 10k. (Still struggling with the walking, but did get one run in)

    Not going to beat myself up this week, as being kinder to myself is also a goal. I am noticing my stomach muscles don’t “stretch” well, and I am wondering if they are just that weak or if there is something else going on. After my back to back kids almost a decade ago, I thought I had strengthened them back up some. But they just don’t feel right. May need to talk to my doctor about it. Happy for everyone’s successes!! Here’s to the weekend!!

    @Aerohead21 Same girl same! What has been working for me these last few days is just going back to step 1. Focusing meal at a time, planning ahead. Don't let 1-2 bad weeks overshadow the 2 months that you were successful. You know you can do it, let the bad days go and focus on the ones ahead of you <3
