      Had a headache and felt grumpy yesterday and my stomach was constantly growling so gave myself a day off and ate what I wanted. Was curious to see how it affected my weight but I think I needed it because I felt better as soon as I ate something more substantial. It might still show up on the scales tomorrow though 👀

      My goal is 220, currently hovering around 260 on the athletic side. Improving stamina through martial arts and cardio. I don't have the diet thing completely figured out yet but have come a long way, and several meals are now whole foods. I'm also here to help encourage others on their journey.

      Me please - I sstarted Sept 16, 2021 at 377 pounds - today I am 285 pounds - last week I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I am refusing more meds as I already take a handful 3-4 times a day. I told my doctor I would control it with diet. So here I continue to take anoth 85 pounds off to prove to him I am right!!! I am still going thru diet etc but I had a health nurse come in and she liked what I was eating so I was doing okay and will continue. Thanks for letting me join in our quest.

      How has January gone for you so far?

      I’m happy to be down 4 pounds so far! Is hard to believe that January has gone so fast.

      I’m so proud of everyone here!!!

      too ashamed to post my weight but you guys are all very inspiring , seeing how your weight is going down.

      I started Jan 1 , doing 16:8 intermittent fasting and 1500 calories per day. I am on day 29 of no soda and no fast food. I thought giving up my daily soda and candy habit would leave me feeling sluggish but I actually have so much more energy now.

      I am also on week 10, day 2 of couch to 5k , only I am walking instead of running. when the little bell chimes to start running I just walk faster.

      I would love to make some friends so feel free to add me, I love seeing what other people are eating.

      @vegetables4life sounds like you’re doing an awesome job. I haven’t really managed to do any exercise yet 🫣 I’m waiting for a plateau in my weight loss then I’ll have to move my butt.
      @FindingSamMon you should feel proud. That scale has constantly been moving the right direction. We all know how difficult that is 💪❤️
