That was taken in January 2019 when I was around 155lbs, (during my first attempt at weight loss) and was a particularly good photo of me. My weight is mainly around my middle.
The previous year I had a photo taken of me in a red top in which I look horrendous and it was that photo that made me realise I needed to lose weight. I look much better in it now and I have photos wearing it marking my progress. When I figure out how to add photos I'll put some on here.0 -
The first photo was taken May 2018
The second was taken in April 2019
I put the weight back on and more after the death of my son in September 2019.
I started to lose weight again in July 2020.

Have a great weekend everyone! 🌷🐣🐰2 -
@prehistoricmoongoddess It's amazing what seeing ourselves in pictures can do. I saw a picture of myself holding my newborn grandson two years ago and was like 😲😲 that lit a fire under me for sure. You're doing great and I am happy you were able to bust through the 140 barrier.
That's my next goal, it has remained out of reach for months but I am determined to do it this year. Considering a few years ago I thought 155 was reaching for the stars I am happy with my progress so far and think that I can do it. It's just a slow process.
Here's to continued success to you and everyone else on the TBBT team. Go us!!3 -

Thank you Everybody! Trying to get refocused. I love the start of a new month, feels like a start of a new fitness program for me.
@maryc11 great job! I also love the start of a new month. Putting March behind me and looking at 30 days of new possibilities! 😊2 -
@cmhubbard92 I'm glad you are enjoying your treadmill. I started looking at one for my office back in February but couldn't find one that would work without removing the area rug and other stuff. Not the look I wanted for a room that was never intended for full time work. 😕 A year later I'm still missing my standing desk and wireless headphones that allowed me to be mobile and not tethered to my computer for 9 hours a day. 😕 This is turning into a "woe is me" post and that wasn't my intent. 😂 Great job on your C25K plan! Keep up the good work. 🥰2

Congratulations, Sandra! Well under 140 on the scales this morning...,you must be so pumped!!1 -
WEIGH-IN

Easter week did me in....but I had a good day yesterday. And it's April, so that is a good thing too!!2 -
@prehistoricmoongoddess - Wow, what a difference! I am glad you wore the same shirt as that is a good comparable. My weight is also around my middle. I also have a photo taken with a friend that was my motivation to lose weight as well. I will have to do an "after" photo as well and post it. Though I think I got rid of the white shirt because it looked so awful on me!
@daffy_girl - You can do it! I finally had to switch to another scale we had in the house as I was convinced the first one was stuck on 142.2. Since then, I've been able to lose weight (on both scales, so it wasn't stuck after all, just felt like it). But mentally I had to do it.
@cmhubbard92 - I am so glad you are enjoying your treadmill! Though starting any new routine may be hard at first, it will quickly start to feel really good.1 -

This is the point in my weight loss that I always stall. I end up getting frustrated and giving up. I need to pull through, stay on track and maybe make some modifications.2 -
Yesterday I went over again - which is rare for me but still. I give myself Panera lunch on Fridays - nothing crazy. But they were out of ALL soups, including my usual ten vegetable 60 calorie one. excuses, excuses....

Previous Week’s Weight: 172.0

I'm feeling motivated to do better in April. My diet is my biggest downfall, and I think meal prepping would help me a lot. I've kind of thought "I'm a stay at home mom, I don't need to meal prep." But I think that having healthy meals and snacks easily available will help me make better choices. My sister is coming to stay with us starting on the 10th, until we go on our sister trip on the 27th. She eats really healthy but she also drinks a lot so that will be a challenge for me!3 -

Week5 Weigh-in:

Notes:A lot of this weight loss I give credit to restarting keto with my hubs. Restarting my body into Ketosis came with a huge swoosh on the scale and honestly I don’t really care for swooshes. It’s like when I zig I have to zag or when there’s a chute there’s ultimately a ladder. And If you take a look at my January to Feb to March SW, you’ll see a big swoosh and then the scale crept back up. On a positive note, MFP Progress and this group have helped me learn how to tamper down the spikes and keep my 👀 open!! Anyway, the swoosh weight did bring me to a huge milestone which I’ll be ready to share once I know it’s for real!! lol
That being said I’ve decided to regroup and change things up for April with the following:
1. I’ll be participating in MUAC this month @Annabananamc I’m tappin’ in for ya, girl!!😘
2. I’m Increasing time spent on strength training. (I hate strength training so I won’t put down a crazy goal like: Alternate arm/leg sessions, 30 mins a day) I’ll just say whenever the mood strikes and there’s a moment when I don’t think I hate it so much ..I’ll just do it. I’ll either go to the gym or work with an old dvd(T25Dvd is prepped and ready to go in the Xbox!), then I’ll make it a part of my daily MUAC post on here.
3. Decrease my step goal to give more time for above. Not too low though because with my new treadmill, I always have time for steps!
4. I’m going to start weighing in at night just because it’s different
I found this website to share with everyone. If it’s been a while since you reassessed your caloric goals and/or you’re stuck in a rut, you may also want to take a look at this one
So for me, for April:*Reminder:

To Maintain Weight =15400/Week OR

I've taken a look at the calculator.
To lose 15lbs to reach my original goal weight in 3 months I only get to eat 880 calories or 1024 in 4 months.
Either way, I need to up my exercise.1 -

My weight was lower throughout the week, but I think that my new running and extra stepping is definitely bringing some retention. April will be a better month!2 -
