If it doesn't challenge you, than it won't change you. These are the words I mutter to myself at midnight when I get home from work and stare into the freezer at those delicious Ice Cream Sandwiches.......I count to ten and grab a small handful of almonds instead. I have triggers, like we all do, getting past those triggers is my road to the promised land of health.
A co-worker today asked me if I was loosing weight, she said my face looks thinner........
I kinda see it but I look at my face every day, just didn't realize. I do know this tho, the difference between 250 and 215. I can tie my shoes with little effort now, I've packed most of my 38 pants and am now wearing my 36s, My Mother thinks I'm skipping meals (LOL). I feel smaller and faster on my bikes. I've been tucking my shirts in now for a few weeks, AND, I can put on my underwear without loosing my balance!!! This is a whole lot of NSV for me to take all at once. You guys have kept me on track where I may have reverted back to old habits without the friendly pressure of the group! (Pressure that I alone create for wanting to be successful and a role model) and for that I thank each and every one of you, Thank you!
I plan on finishing out the month, and then I would like to request being put on to the Cheer leading squad so that I may enjoy a month of maintenance.
This be me on Tuesday at 215 lbs !
And yes that's an Ice Coffee, maybe a little bit of Kahlua in there as well! lol
I'm all emotional about this, for real, no joke!!
If it doesn't challenge you, than it won't change you!
Rock on team, Much Love!

@1theresamcvean
Thanks! Trying hard!1 -
@Mrsbell8well
I hope your back is feeling better today!
Thanks! I think I've finally got back in the right mind set!
Although I would really like to be able to go to the gym. I get a lot of motivation there from being around other people who are also working out. Also, my trainer works me really hard and doesn't let me slack off. It's too easy for me to stop when an exercise is hard when I'm at home. Something else for me to work on.3 -
@nstephenson01
Thanks! It was nice being there, even as a smaller group.
Maybe try drinking more water when you're having a higher sodium meal. Not sure if that will help much but it's worth a try.3 -
@KUMEcyclingteam
Great job!
I also love that quote, even though it's hard, which I guess is actually the whole point.🤔😁3 -

I finally got to go to the dentist. My original appointment was in March, which got rescheduled and then cancelled because of Covid. The dentist I had since I was a kid retired and Thursday I got to meet my new dentist. Really nice guy. Also, a good report, no cavities so I don't have to go back for 6 months.
Friday 7/24
Food: good
Water: 80 oz
Exercise: rest day
I went to the car dealership today because of an air bag recall on my car. They told me it would take 2 to 3 hours to fix. I made sure to get there right when they opened and ended up only having to wait 1 1/2 hours. They also found I had a nail in one if my tires so they fixed that for me too. I spent most of my afternoon in the kitchen making meals and snacks for next week.

Hi all,
I'm super behind so won't reply to individual posts - but am seeing some awesome losses going on so huge congrats to you all
I'm doing a bit better. Still higher than I want to be on the scales but trying to refocus and get back into my better routines. The therapy has been good but quite intense and focusing on that has kinda zapped my motivation for other things. I managed my online zumba class this morning and have some healthier things in the fridge for dinner. I can do this!5 -
@podperson1 So happy to hear you sounding so optimistic. You will round the corner when you’re ready and that looks to be very soon. ❤️3

Another nice day yesterday and I actually got some work done in my office in the afternoon. We had a family dinner last night and watched old episodes of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations. Since we could not travel this month, it was a nice substitute, and the kids were really interested too.
@Zumba_Luvah - Fantastic loss, wtg! You are going to see the 150’s very soon!
@podperson1 - You are doing great, and yes absolutely, you can do this and you are! Therapy can be draining, but it is kind of like fatigue or soreness after exercise, and you feel so much better on the other side it. Keep going and we are here for you when you need us.
@mrsbell8well - We are champion “losers”, be it weight, thoughts, habits etc. I have been here around 1.5 years (with a few months off), and I love how this is a place where we can share out ups and downs, vent, laugh and most importantly, support each other.
@brown6267 - Fantastic maintain! You are doing great and are my role model for when I get to goal!
@lenka1 - Yup, we have bonus days in July, so we have week 5. So get ready to lose some more!
@tryingagain5 - Another great day! I know it can be hard to motivate ourselves at home. You trainer sounds so great as well. One thought is maybe make your work out a little commitment program. Like post a program on your wall for your workouts that week and check them off as you complete each one. Then give yourself a reward at the end. It does not have to be food, but anything that is rewarding for you.
@lennoncpa - That gain is under a pound and not much. We have not heard from you much lately. I hope that your stressful time at work is over, and that you are doing well!
@1theresamcvean - Your grandchild is so adorable! I forgot how messy meal time can be at that age!

Congratulations to @KUMEcyclingteam!
35 lbs lost and so many amazing NSVs! You look great in that photo and so happy! I looked back at your weight entries through months of spreadsheets. You worked so diligently, and in a very steady manner, lost weight. We know it was not easy, particularly because you had to care for you mom, as well as working nights. You should be so proud of yourself! We are very happy for you!
Theresa already made arrangements to get you moved to cheer next month, but don’t be a stranger here. Also, after you have had a break, you are welcome to join the goal zone to assist with maintaining.5 -
