    I am camping for ten days and can’t keep my steps. I’m going to bow out of the step challenge until august

    Congrats on the loss! Losing weight when on vacation is impressive.

    Signed up for two more 5km races in September. We will see what the weather is like after that and play it by ear. I hate running in the cold. My next race is August 12.

    Look at you go.

    Here are my numbers for this week:

    Name: rwillems
    Weigh-On Day: Sunday
    PW: 283.2 lbs
    CW: 277.2 lbs (down 6.0 lbs)

    Until next week, stay safe, eat healthy.

    Fantastic loss!
    Fabanddetermined (back to Mondays lol)

    PW- 379.4lb
    CW- 371lb

    -8.4lb

    I know this is mostly water weight but I am so happy! Had a few temptations and had a bit of a blip on Saturday (within my calories though so I guess it wasn't a blip)

    This week my partner is going away for a about 10 days and usually that means a free-for-all with uber eats and pizza deliveries. I have been ordering hello fresh and I have 2 meals left plus another 4 coming on thursday... I also have some fruit at home that I'm going to try and snack on.

    Have a good week all! Hugs to all that are grieving and hurting... losing a pet is so hard ❤️

    Great loss! You made changes and it paid off.

    Hey everyone, I sincerely apologize for not being active this last week. A lot has been going on. In the process of applying to be a 911 operator and had to do a polygraph test, found out one of my close friends is in the hospital, and so much more. I have actually signed up for an online therapist as well to get some extra help and have a safe space to get things sorted out. I have certainly not been eating well and after I get this job I am going to take advantage of the benefits and get a primary care physician and a nutritionist. Life has been so crazy lately but I don't want to keep using that as an excuse to continue making poor choices. I appreciate everyone's patience. <3 Happy Monday and I hope everyone is doing well regardless of our struggles!!

    I apologize for not being the best co-captain as of late ... I suffer from kidney stones and I have a fever ...I slept most of the day away yesterday and today ... I am hoping to get well soon ..thanks for sticking with me while I recover ... it has been an awful week and a day

    Ugh I am so sorry. My hubby has had them before and I understand they are incredibly painful. You have had a rough time lately for sure.

    That’s exciting becoming a 911 operator. I once got to go see the new 911 center when it moved quite a few years back.

    Nice job losing weight while camping. There are so many goodies when sitting around the campfire. My favourite is roasted marshmallows. Brown on the outside and gooey on the inside. Yum!

    Good morning! I was hoping to get to the pool but I have the worst headache from the stupid cold hubby gave me. Thankfully, the pain specialist is allowing me to come in for my needles. I will have to make do with mini walks again today. I think I ended up with over 30 minutes of exercise on my watch. Those mini walks add up.

    Yesterday, my weight went up quite a few pounds do to a high sodium meal the day before. This morning my scales wanted to know if it was me or someone else weighing in because of the water weight drop. 😂

    Congrats on your lose to date. Losing weight helped me to get off insulin. My A1C was 5.4 the last checkup. That officially puts me in the non diabetic range. Below 5.5 is normal. I do take ozempic but that is more to help me lose weight. I started that in March. I have lost almost 90 pounds over the last 4 years.
