    @ddsb1111 Thank you so much! I ended up being the biggest loser in our weigh in on Monday. Total of 5 pounds lost last week. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and after I told her about the challenge and what I'd lost she said, "That deserves a hug!" I left the office on cloud 9. :)

    Still fasting every day from 7pm to 11am (only about an hour left before I can dig in to a snack). Drinking water like it's my job and planning on going for a longer walk at work today since it's a gorgeous Fall day in Massachusetts.

    Hope everyone's doing well!

    I can feel your motivation from here, heck yeah!!! I’m stoked for you. Keep up the amazing work, and if there comes a moment where you feel super run down just know you’ve had a serious calorie deficit for awhile and might need a little something extra and that’s okay! The goal is to keep moving forward and being consistent and those food bumps from time to time are what keep us moving forward and achieving. I can’t tell you how awesome it is to hear about your success! I’m totally here for it!

    @ddsb1111 Went for a mile walk at lunch and when I was coming back, one of my coworkers who is also in the weight loss challenge saw me and said, "Stop! You're making us all look bad!" with a laugh.

    I said, "I'm not trying to make you look bad..I'm trying to make myself look better!" Each day this is getting easier and easier. And I'm doing it for myself this time. Thank you for the support. It means the world to me.

    Working from home is really hard. I broke my fast at 11am but now I'm starving and don't want to keep eating but water isn't helping right now.

    Remember, this is what I was explaining earlier. When things are good, they’re good. But we want to focus and commit to a LIFETYLE that will be something you can do long term. Not only when you’re dieting but during maintenance, because these are also strategies to control your weight. What are your strategies for a steady rate of loss without all the deprivation? What are you doing this time that’s different from any other failed dieting moments in your past? What makes this a lifestyle? If we can crack that code you’ll have a great, long life, of balance and harmony. We can figure this out, I’ve been there too.

    Worked from home yesterday so I couldn't weigh in with my coworkers. Just stepped on the scale and I lost another pound. I was hoping for more but as my friend says, "It's a marathon..not a sprint.." I'll take the lost pound and use it as motivation!

    Absolutely! You keep going in the right direction that’s huge! Awesome work.

    Happy New Year 2024

    Goals
    - Continue OMAD
    - Maintain between 118-123
    - Weigh 2+ days a week

    I’ve been in maintenance since the end of September (17th?). Here an update of the last month and a half.

    I’ve been maintaining anywhere between 123-125 lbs. Had surgery March 29th and have been pretty swollen and in pain the past month so keeping a low profile. Apparently it can take up to 6 months for all swelling to go down but it’s already improved 80-90% from what I can tell.

    Weighed in today and of course landed higher than I hoped, 128.4. It’s fine, it’s that TOM and just recovered this last month, it’s no problem.

    I started the Fat to Fit May challenge to get moving again, put myself into a positive mind frame, and to support others for the next 5 weeks. If I had to guess I’m carrying about 4 lbs of water right now so hopefully by the end of the challenge I can lose that + an additional 2 lb= 122.4.

    Doing OMAD still
    Adding tennis and golf (range)
    Weigh-in’s on Saturday

    SW 128.4
    GW 122.4
    MW 122.4
