^ Heck yes you're down!! Whoooop!! I LOVE hearing about people smashing their plateaus! Awesome stuff!! Anything in particular work for you? Or was it patience?
(On a side note, I am so glad that you posted, I was just about to triple post asking where my posse was at! :P)0 -
just kept at it! some of it was bloating and water retention... that TOM other than that i dunno. I've started buying low sodium stuff. just push through i guess

Hi Valentiner's!
With the addition of groups I thought I would ask your opinion on whether to hop aboard that ship or not. I personally don't feel that we need a group, our one thread has been serving us well and we don't REALLY chit chat a lot. That being said, if you think it would better the challenge to have a group, let me know!!
Hope everyone's weeks are going well!0 -
a group kind of sounds fun, why not do both? it might be easier to chit chat, I like to do that but I don't want to take up so much space on a thread lol0

To be honest, I'm not sure what the difference is!0

Somone met their mini goal!! Yes groupies, I am now officially a healthy BMI! I think the last time I was a healthy BMI was grade... 10? I stopped weighing myself when I started to see the number getting higher and higher, it was too hard to see (but not hard enough to make me change anything). I remember stepping on the scale in grade 11 or 12 and seeing 175 lbs. I am lighter than I was through most of high school!! I am a HEALTHY BMI!!! I know that I still have ~19 lbs until my end goal (which seems like a ton, but really isn't on a 5'9" frame) but the bottom line is, I am already at a fabulous point, the rest of this weight loss, muscle gain and fitness increase is really just a bonus! I'm not going to lie, posting a huge loss this week was elating, but I am not going to expect it to continue. If anything, the weekly weight loss will start to slow down even further as I am coming closer and closer to a weight that is comfortable for my body. But I'm okay with that! I'm a healthy BMI! :P
Weekly Success: Getting back into Rushfit (redoing the final 4 weeks again), staying within my calorie goal, getting into Eckhart Tolle's book The Power of Now (which is pretty freaking empowering. That man has some amazing insights).
Weekly Struggle: Macros. I really need to get back into paying attention and managing macros. I have been a carbohydrate *kitten* lately... and my protein is really not up to snuff.
This Week’s Personal Challenge: Continue with Rushfit, watch my macros and spend some quality time with myself. Life has been too busy (brother was back in the ER AGAIN 2 nights ago...)0 -

Welcome to the gang Ashntony47!! Good to have you!!
I forgot to comment on groups. Really the differences are:
1. You wouldn't have to search for the thread, we would have a sub-forum under the group heading.
2. We could have many threads in one sub-forum, they could address certain questions, challenges, etc
3. We would feel like cool kids.
I would be more than happy to start a group if that's what everyone wants! Up to you guys!
Any glaring reason why not to? Any glaring reason why?0 -
