Pull up challenge
I posted a pull up challenge in the main community page under "challenges" (not sure how to link it here). Essentially I want to nail an unassisted pull up. I was able to do one before but have put on a few pounds and lost strength since that time. I'm going to follow this plan added to a 3 day full body strength routine.…

May the Fourth Be With You - May Accountability Thread
Starting a May thread! I won't lie, I fell off the wagon the later half of April - the new schedule really started to catch up to me, and I gave in the tiredness with eating too much and not sticking to my goals. Trimming down my daily task list at the moment to rebuild my focus while I keep moving ahead with my goals.…

March 1st to May 31st challenge
I need to lose about 15 pounds and am finally getting back to accountability. If you are over 60 and petite like me, you know it is hard to cut back. I can only eat 1200 calories per day unless I up the exercise. Currently I am trying to stay around 100 carbs and eat most of those for dinner. Fewer carbs and I get very…

Rant! OR, overshare of the day
I thought I would be under 150 by now, but I have had some short bouts of depression and lots of pain. I'm trying to get to 145-149 by March 9 in time for back surgery that will prevent me from doing all my normal exercise.

Not old/Not young/Not fat/Not thin
I’m 51, post menopausal mother of 5 ranging in ages from 31 down to 6 yr old twins. I’m 5’9” and 150# with athletic build. I used to be in the gym 2-3 hours a day 5-6 days a week and was cut.

Getting old sucks
People say “You’re not fat! Have some cake!” I’m 30 lbs over my goal, 15 lbs over the weight watchers max for my height. Not bad, but every lb exponentially increases my knee osteoarthritis pain. If I don’t get a handle on this night time binging and get off my lazy ass and work out, I’ll be a cripple in 6 months. I’ll be…

Jump in January Accountably thread
Happy New Year! It’s been a minute for me. I’ve been loosely tracking, loosely exercising, and loosely weighing. I’m unhappy with my current shape and need to tighten it all back up. I plan to do a dry January, get back to tracking everything, and log here at least once a week. Good luck everyone! 5’4” 44y 01/01: 130.2

I completely fell of the bandwagon
December was bad for me. But last week something happened (medical I think) and I tried to deal with it by eating. I didn't just eat one bad thing I ate a lot and not necessary even things that tasted nice. Since Thursday it has been downhill. Last night I stuffed my face again. I'm not sure how to get back on track.…
