just wanted to post a quick update to help motivate anyone who needs it. Yesterday was officially 4 months since re commiting to getting healthy and loosing some weight! As of today I am 25lbs down 🙌💕 SW 215lbs CW 190lbs! I am so proud of myself and set my next goal for another 10lbs loss.
I used MFP recommended calories but set it at sedentary so that my fitbit adds in my exercise. I have been eating back most of my exercise calories and theres maybe one day a week i relax and go over my cals!! I've been using fitbit coach exercises in my living room 3 times a week and going out running/jogging 2 times a week... 3 if I get the chance (I have a 17 month old!).
This is working for me so far! I hope in another few months I'm posting that my 2nd goal has been smashed 💪 if I can do this juggling a little one and work you can too!

Congratulations on making it to your 2nd goal! I was telling someone else I'm about to reach my 3rd goal sometime next week (175lbs.) I've been logging for 6 months and was peaked for a few weeks.
Put more thinking into it last week and now I'm about to bust through. The feeling is awesome!2 -

Amazing! Well done on smashing 2 goals and almost on a 3rd! That's fantastic. I love that feeling when you peak for a while then suddenly drop. It makes it all worth it.2 -

That’s amazing! I had great success as well with MFP but got off track and gained back more than half of what i lost. I started back today so your post is very timely so THANK YOU!! I’m hoping i can stay on track this time. Your post is very inspiring thank you!0
