@motivatedsister - sounds like a good plan. I vow to wear more fitted clothes this winter too
@dietingright - Welcome! Just check in regularly to keep yourself accountable and encourage others. Most of us post weekly stats on the day or our choosing. I turned 49 in May and my goal is to lose 50 ponds by my 50th bday!0 -

This week was kind of a roller coaster. I had free lunch Tuesday and it caused some serious water retention. That and being so mentally exhausted kinda caused me to slack off a little on healthy choices. So I had some treats this week, but to my credit I only allowed them in moderation. With my steps calories added in I still stayed in my calorie goals evey day. So it's a huge win to know I was able to moderate myself and have the treats, but still be able to achieve my goals.
Last week: 189.2
This week: 188.2
Mini goal: 188 by September 14th (crushed it!)
New mini goal: 184 by October 4th2 -
Had a crap day yesterday. We had to put our sweet 11yr old dog down. We knew her days were short but that doesn’t make it easier. Today is a little better but there is definitely a big emptiness in the family.
On the positive side, the scale was at 196.8 today which is below my mini-goal of 197 and officially puts my BMI under 35 and my weight loss above 10lbs. I will hold out until Friday to see if it sticks but just seeing the scale drop below 197 is motivation enough.4 -

8/31: 201.4 (BOO lol! Well didn't make it to ONEderland. It wasn't the best week ever, but it seems after a big loss I always have a very low loss the following week. Plus I think TOM is a contributing factor today. After pregnancy/breastfeeding my cycle still hasn't regulated back to normal. This is the first time it's actually shown up right on schedule since returning. Hopefully it's returning to normal now and I can get a better idea of how it effects my weight during/after.
mini GW: 180
GW: 160
Congrats to those who have lost - you're doing awesome!1 -
So excited! I hit a new low on the scale today! I stepped on it and I was 212.8! I haven't seen that number in awhile! I was so shocked I weighed more than once to make sure it was right. 😄
31.8 Pounds down and 42.8 more to go!!!3 -

Lets do this!

Had a bit of a struggle this past weekend. Had a cookout with friends (Ribs and brisket and cornbread and drinks). Splurged a little as it was our wedding anniversary. Didn't lose this week, but didn't gain so 🤷♀️ I'm going to call that a win!

Definitely a win! Everything in moderation otherwise it’s not sustainable. Happy Anniversary!0 -

Still a loss and you made it into the 150’s!!! Congratulations, that is still a great accomplishment. Are you getting close to goal. I imagine those last pounds are harder. Maybe you need a change in your exercise routine? Have you been tracking everything accurately?0 -

You got this? How is the tracking going? Work is tough for me too but luckily, I am still mostly working at home. When I do go in, I pack my food for the day and I won’t go to the cafeteria otherwise I will be tempted to go off track.0 -

That’s so exciting! I do the same thing and step on the scale at least 3 times if it seems too good to be true.0
