@CariTJR - WELCOME TO ONEDERLAND!! You just posted that number up there without any fanfare. Congratulations! 🥂🎉🏆
I'm sorry about losing your rental. Wishing you good luck in finding a new home
Thank you. I think I kind of missed it myself, just in terms of the fact that I'm focusing so much on hitting my first stone (14lbs) loss that my mind is just blinkered to other milestones haha. Must pay more attention!
Well done to everyone, it's encouraging to see everyone's posts and amazing progress, not just in terms of weight lost, but attitudes towards the whole process and people's commitments to exercise etc. 👍7 -
Nice work everyone! Was great reading everyone's progress! I had a pretty decent week and got 3 good workouts in. I plan to do a good workout tomorrow and am also going to go swimming. My goal for this coming week is to continue tracking my food, get 4 workouts in and at least 2 walks. My excitement for this past week is that I ordered a rower with some performance points I accumulated from work! I am pretty excited for it to arrive!

Just checking in. I was surprised with a larger loss than expected this morning. I had a few hurdles this week that I pushed through. I am proud of myself.
Happy Mother's Day!

I didn’t feel well all of last week so I didn’t exercise much. I think it’s from the 2nd shot. I still don’t feel right and am tired almost all the time. In the step challenge I’m doing I only made the 9,000 steps (the daily goal) twice since May 1st. So hopefully this next week will be better! Happy Mother’s Day!8 -

Hi, not sure how this will work. I am not sure what my CW is the scale is broken. I will check in tomorrow. I want to change eating lifestyle so the weight stays off.
Goals
log in calories daily
8 cups of water- didn’t do very well with that today
3 days or cardio, 30 min each
2 days or weights
That’s it for me now.8 -
Happy Mother's day! I usual check-in on Saturdays but it was a busy day. I got an ice cream maker for Mother's day. I wanted one so I can make ice milk with less sugar and fat. To replace ice cream. Today we are making Java chip with dark chocolate morsels with just a bit of half & half and 2 shots espresso but mostly milk. I want to experiment with making it with 1% milk and the least amount of sugar possible.
After feeling better I exercised everyday during the work week. My water intake was good most day. With car repairs and mother's day we have had more take out so next week I am planning on healthy home cooked meals and exercise each day.8 -

Hey everyone. Been a bit busy and not posting much. How's everyone getting on?
I am 5lb down from last week, also got myself a fitbit versa 3 yesterday! Take care x
I have a Versa but can't wear it. I loved it. It started to give me a rash so now I am using a Zip for tracking steps

I haven't weighed yet (that's Monday a.m) but Boyfriend said to me today that my waist is clearly there in clothes, and is getting more defined by the day. Apparently some recomp is happening, whatever the scale may say tomorrow morning.8

@uyister My youngest’s birthday is at the end of May too and we will be also celebrating their getting their 2nd dose 2 weeks before. Have a great birthday month!
@CariTJR Congratulations making it into Onderland! Hope you find a great new home.
@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 Nice NSV.
I feel happy whenever I hear someone got vaccinated. I want us all to get through this pandemic. During the pandemic I have been wearing some pants that are falling off me because they are nice and light for the summer. Yesterday I did some shopping online because we may be opening our offices soon. I will probably be working hybrid but want to be ready to go back to work. I hope I fit into these pants. I haven’t bought clothes online before. I actually hope that they will soon be too loose too. But for now I hope they fit. If not it will give me some motivation to lose.
Hope all have a great week.5 -
I have been MIA for a few months now but of course the second I stop focusing on my healthy journey the weight starts going up, up, and up. I was floating in the lower 230's and really wanting to break through to the 220's but today after a few trips to see family I am at 250, REALLY wanting to be in the 230's again. The only thing I can do is get refocused on putting healthy eating and exercise at the top priority in my life. No more "just one wont hurt" because it is never just one. No more "I deserve a treat" because I always deserve a treat and that just makes it daily eating and NOT a treat. I need to track and plan again, making sure that I do not go over my calorie budget.
The rest of May HAS to be a good month, that is all there is to it. I had goals for May months ago and I will not be meeting those now but that is OK, I will make new goals, and reach those goals.10 -

Salt is a tricky little food. I had two days where I ate a lot of salt but stayed within my calorie goal (barely, I ate all of my exercise calories and walked at night to get a couple of extra exercise calories). Needless to say I gained pounds each day. So I spent the next couple days drinking a gallon of water and the pounds came off. But then during the weekend we were going to be out and about and taking a drive. Because of limited availability of bathrooms I only drank 50oz each day so I’m up a little today. Overall I still had a good week with a good loss.
Mother’s Day was lots of fun, we had a brunch where my husband found a low calorie filling sweet potato egg dish that allowed bacon to fit into my budget!!! Then we went cherry-picking! So much fun!!
I hope everyone else had a great Mother’s Day.8 -

This is my first time posting in the community and I am going to try to post daily/weekly progress to see if this helps mentally and staying with a healthy lifestyle. I already exercised today. whoop whoop! I am just trying to stay at1200 cal/day and not stress about food. I know in the early afternoon is my time I feel like eating, because of boredom mostly, so I have been roasting veggies to snack on. I Will post again tomorrow with a success report. Feeling confident!!8 -

Scale is heading in the proper direction.
DH is not understanding the anxiety I sometimes have when he suddenly wants to go out on another night that I hadn’t planned to go out. He couldn’t hear me when I tried to explain at the restaurant so dropped it but forgot once we got back to the house. He had other comments so it’ll be a conversation for another day.
Stressful week last week. Keeping the exercise plans with the friend (and not canceling for the restaurant) helped a lot. I haven’t gone extra for strength training but instead used the time to remove weeds in the front gardens. Still have more to do so that will be the same this week. Then the back will get tackled at some point. The work stress will calm down; hopefully tomorrow but towards the end of the week at least.
Less anxiety for going out over the weekend. Logged as best as possible yesterday. I ordered from a local party center as they’ve done different packages for pickup and Mom didn’t want to go out. That went well
One of my good friends is fully vaccinated now. We started up our weekly watch party last night. That’s very helpful for both of us to have our chats again. She had been much more cautious due to her grandmother so we waited until both her and gram were fully vaccinated.
Over the weekend I was starting to pack for vacation and tried on all the summer clothes that I’d need. Many are lose. Which is absolutely great. My one pair of jeans, stretchy, are ones if I don’t keep washing often I can pull them off without buttoning after wearing for an hour. HA Must find my other jeans to see where they stand too.
Posting absolutely helps. My last weight loss journey on another site had great boards as well and they closed them down which saddened a bunch; no surprise I started gaining back at that time and stopped going to their site. This group reminds me of them and is very helpful for motivation and accountability.

So having restarted counting calories tightly, I've dropped seven pounds in two weeks. I think some of this is just the initial bounce, but I'm good with that. Boyfriend has said that he can definitely see a waist emerging from the lumps and rolls, and that's very encouraging. I moved my afternoon ADHD pill later and that is definitely helping with my self-control and ability to pay attention to other things in the evening. I was thinking last night that after dinner when I'm feeling a little bit food coma is a good time to sit down and work on the quilt and listen to a lecture on paleoanthropology.
I meant to weigh on Monday but I was down here and halfway through my second mug of tea when I thought about it. (grin)5
