    Tuesday weigh in.
    201 last week.
    200.4 this week. It's going in the right direction again, that's something anyway.
    I'm hoping to start on the treadmill again this week. Wish me luck :)

    Hi everybody. I have been off this board for a little bit. I have broken through my plateau and hired a health coach to keep me on track. It has really been helping me learn about and watch my macros. It's also inspiring me to move more and start a workout routine.

    My short term goal is to enter the 170s before Christmas

    Hi everyone! So glad I found this forum. My current weight is 174 lb and I’m hoping to get down to 140.

    Hi guys! I just found this forum and love it! I started off at 310 pounds and lost 170. Then my dad passed and I put weight back on. I'm 178 pounds today and I'm 36 years old. My goal is to lose around 25 to 30 pounds and maintain my weight.

    Looking back over my yo-yo weight loss history, I have to go all the way back to Feb 2017 to see this low of a weight. NSV- I was going to the grocery store today and my hubby jokingly told me to get some jeans that fit. These jeans just came out of the dryer and they are falling off me! They were tight at one point this year where I was using a hack with a ponytail elastic to be able to “button” them.

    For my American friends celebrating Thanksgiving next week and everyone looking forward to celebrating Christmas. Here is an article from my health coach with some strategies to get through the holiday. I thought it would be the same old advice but this actually is realistic. Let me know if you can’t see and I will ask permission to copy and paste or summarize the strategies.

    Hello... it is to late to join in?

    I was doing good then life hit my square in the face.... gained 5 lbs back. I was down 10lbs since the lock down in Marc. I want to get those 5 lbs gone by end of the year. Then press on for my other 20 lbs I need to lose.

    Yeah people are jumping on here and there joining the thread. Welcome.

    Haven't updated in a while... the last 2 months have been rough. I hadnt really been focused on logging as much and let a lot of things slide. I was trying to consciously try not to overdo it too much but there were more than a few days in there i lost control. Had been down to a new low of 181 and then life stress took more of a front seat than my weight loss journey and i lost a little control. All the while though i didn't backslide too much. Was gentle with myself and kept hanging in there, knowing a day would soon come that I could put mental energy towards my journey again. Back slid to about 183 or 185 one day... but after a week or two of trying to refocus and reel in my goals again I'm back to 178 which is a new low for me this go round. I had set a mini goal of 175 by next sunday. And last week I thought there's no way i can reach that, but now it seems not so far away. Might be a little late in attaining it, but I think I can get back on track here. My recent setback was COVID 19. Currently recovering from the illness which was mild for me thankfully. Keep working on your goals you guys. Slow and steady wins the race. Doesn't matter how slow your progress. If you're moving you are still lapping anyone still on the couch.

    I’m glad you are feeling better. As a nurse, I’m the one who has kept her kids online for school and dance class. It’s really getting to my daughter but it’s just not worth the risk. I’m glad you case was mild. Things are starting to get out of control here in AZ and I am amazed by how many people do not take this seriously.

    You did great keeping your weight in more of a maintenance mode and that 175 goal is within reach.

    Mini goal: 182 (halfway to goal)
    Total weight lost: 23.7

    Only 0.5 loss this week. I was hoping to reach 182 by the end of the month but with Thanksgiving next week, I’m not sure I’ll make it.
