@Slinky_BraveHeartBunsOfSteel awesome work! I want to get an elliptical... I used to use that thing like crazy before I stopped going to my gym when I moved!
Thank you! I have a 2-in-1 elliptical/bike. I bought it second hand from a local selling page on Facebook for a mere £20! Maybe you could see if someone is selling one? I just recently stopped my gym membership because I wasn't going as often as I should and it was just a waste of money. I WILL rejoin in a month or so!
I am super skeptical of people, so I don't buy things online/Facebook from an individual... I would get it and it would be broken, just based on my luck! I really should be content with what we have (schwinn recumbent bike, and more than enough weights and benches in the basement!)... technically, I don't need my membership at all anymore, but I'm still paying the stupid thing!1 -

After a great loss the week before, I went up. I’m off schedule and off track and I guess I’m glad to know it. I need that 199 back! Saw it peek in briefly to say hi lol.
March is birthday month in my family (not mine tho) and parties are coming so it’s time to practice my skills!5 -

Mini Challenge
Date: Mon, March9th:
Tracking: Yes
UnderCalories: No
Exercise(20min): No, this time change has really messed up my mental mindset and and my daily routine!
Water: 80oz
Steps: 5892
*Daily personal goal this week* Eliminate eating from 730pm to 1130am the next day.
No, I am going to attempt to fast the whole day tomorrow
I am also really struggling with the time change. I think it is earlier than it is. I have been sleeping in. I didn't eat dinner until after 8 last night. I haven't been eating lunch until almost 2. So, I guess I'm really not doing too bad, I just feel like I'm running behind.1 -
Sunday 3/8
Logged: no
Under: no idea, probably
Water: no. All coffee, all day
Exercise: no
Another step backwards. Showed up to my moms rehab hospital to help her do her physical therapy homework. Only to find her unconscious and unresponsive.
Spent the day at the ICU where she remained the same. She woke up this morning for a few minutes. Looks like another stroke or a seizure. probably here in ICU for a couple days. I won’t get many steps in because if you leave you can’t get back in without calling the nurses station and having them buzz you back in.
@simbersea
I hope your mom is doing better. I hope you are doing ok too.1 -

Same here, I keep thinking I have more time in the day and pushing back my workouts. Today I started to finally get used to it and got my work out in.1 -
It would be awesome to get some shout outs here for the actual “biggest losers” each week, since not all of us do all the optional mini challenges. I’ve never seen results over the last 2-3 mos for weekly or even monthly results for our team (and the other team). Where is that? Is it the different main sign up page?
Not trying to complain tho -Thank you to the moderators for all you are keeping up with!!
It’s cause I DID have a great loss last week, then now I’m up 2# and feeling a wee bit cranky. Drinking my sleepy tea and to bed with no snack, waaahhh. Lol.

Week 1 Snapshot
@GeminiLady159 This was posted yesterday. The results are in the announcement section(top) on the first page. And I do post the weekly results within this page, yesterday was busy.
The one I usually slack on is the end of the month because I'm usually busy posting between multiple threads... but if you look at the February thread, you literally have the last week and overall results within the last three posts. In addition, you also should have an alert when you are tagged in a post(such as weekly results) but I don't know how long that notification remains on... if you aren't on for a few days, maybe the notification doesn't show anymore?
But anyways, the biggest loser results do get posted in our thread weekly, so there is recognition for those that lose the most each week.3 -

Week 2 weigh in:
Username: Betsymoomoo
PW: 217

My sodium levels must have been way off yesterday cuz I am looking noticeably slimmer according to my friends and family. Or I’m actually building some muscle from this waking up at 5am for the gym thing. 😂3 -
Wednesday Weigh in for @sarahannsuarez
Starting weight in January: 205lbs
Starting March Weight: 194.2
Week 1 weight: 193.1
Week 2 weight: 193.1
So I've been reading all the posts lately about daily weigh ins... which is something I do to. I was congratulating myself on remaining calm and not getting to frustrated with seeing the fluctuations that can happen on a daily basis... only to come in (I weigh on a scale at work) this AM to flip my lid when I was 2 lbs heavier than I was yesterday!!! Sometimes I think I can go up 2 lbs just by drinking more water! Just a reminder to myself that I still have a lot to work on both physically and emotionally! Have a great day TBBT

Hi team! Every week I'm going to start a Weekly Round Table Conversation. This week I'd like to bring us back to grade school and suggest a Show & Tell topic!
Please post a picture of a tool(food/trick) that you have discovered to be crucial in your weight loss journey. Please present your item and tell the class a story representing your item 😊.
Mine is a water counting water bottle. I absolutely hate water and this has been a game changer for me because it made it easier to surpass the goal to drink half my body weight in ounces. It's a 20oz water bottle by Zak! that I purchased at Walgreens, but I'm sure you can purchase something like it on Amazon or wherever.4 -
I love this idea! I can't wait to see what everyone shares!
Hi team! Every week I'm going to start a Weekly Round Table Conversation. This week I'd like to bring us back to grade school and suggest a Show & Tell topic!
Here's mine:
A decent pair of running shoes!
When I first decided that I was going to try running, every list I came across of Tips for New Runners suggested that you get evaluated for the right shoe. I thought it was dumb. A sneaker is a sneaker, right?
Well, when I first started walking just to build up to running, after a short distance, I was experiencing excruciating shin splints and foot cramping. I thought I just wasn't built for running. But before I threw in the towel, I said I would try the shoe thing.
So I went to my local running store (who knew there was such a thing?) and was helped by really patient and knowledgeable staff who were clearly passionate about running. They put me on a treadmill to evaluate my stride and suggested a shoe that was made for my neutral pronation. They gave me some helpful tips for a beginner runner and sent me on my way.
Let me tell you, running in these were like night and day. First of all, just the cushion in the shoe was so much more noticeable than my cheap runners. They felt almost springy. After just my first walk in them, no more foot cramping or shin splints. I had to humble myself and apologize out loud into the universe to all those seasoned runners for calling them "dummies" for making the suggestion.
I am now halfway through my first couch to 5K training and I am loving it! And that is largely thanks to this shoe since I was going to quit running if this didn't work. Just goes to show that the right tools can really be the difference between success and failure.

Starting weight: 228.8
3/4 Week One: 231.6
3/11 Week Two: 230.0
Show & Tell: I bought a Fitbit for both me and my 9 yr old daughter. That's been a fun reminder to get us both moving. ( I haven't figured out how to insert a picture)
My personal goal for this month was to walk/ jog for 60 min 4 days a week. I was up to running 6 min at a time and 4 miles total. BUT I didn't listen to my body last week and pushed through ankle pain. Listen to your body! I had to change it up to more leg lifts/crunches/weight training this week. Hope to get back walking today.4 -
Starting : 184.5
Week 1: 183.8
