Happy Friday! I'm off work today, but technically have to work my 2nd job today (only 3 hours). I've got a couple things to do for my regular job too, but I'll be able to do those at home at least. I've been sick all week with laryngitis, and Sunday I had a fever, body aches, headache, coughing up green mucus. Went to Dr…

But I've been walking extra at work and eating within my limits and logging regularly, which apparently is helping since I've had a…

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 175.8 lbs 1/12/18 CW 174.6 lbs 1/19/18 (-1.2 lbs) Total weight loss: -19.4! I forgot to post yesterday. But glad to see this loss! I'm slowly getting back down to my pre-holiday weight of 168. :)

Yeah, I work from 7:30-2:30. Gives me time to work out right after work and then pick up my kids, go home, have dinner and whatnot.

I love the fact that my boss doesn't work with me at my site. I hear from her through email or phone calls only. But those are so few and far between that I get to work pretty independently. I have two other staff that I work with daily. But our shifts end at 2:30! It's glorious!

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 176.0 lbs 1/5/18 CW 175.8 lbs 1/12/18 (-0.2 lbs) Total weight loss: -18.2! I'm so proud of myself with creating new habits, even though my loss isn't the biggest. I've been logging what I'm eating and exercising regularly. I'm positive that I'm going in the right direction with these habits…

Yeah, I've tried that, but because it's free and everyone eats so much, I end up taking way more than I need to - to the point I've overeaten for the whole day... sigh! And then I'm cooking yummy dinner for the family, but eating my simple hummus... So then I give in and eat dinner with them too. Not helpful. Today, I had…

No, it's a different buffet every day, with delicious food! The deserts are obvious for me to avoid, but still hard. But it's just hard in general to know what the calories are with the chicken wings, or Salisbury steak, or stuffed potatoes, homemade pizza, complete taco bar, meatloaf and gravy, stuffed cabbage with rice,…

So neat! World traveler!!!

Yea, which desert?

Hello friends! I'm at work right now, (shh don't tell on me) and already starting to feel hungry... Got up early this morning though and did my dvd work out. My husband was also up and cooked me eggs and coffee. But that was already 4 hours ago... I have another 2 hours until lunch. My job is really awesome and provides…

I can relate so much. I gained all the weight back that I'd lost before becoming pregnant wth my toddler, while breastfeeding. My husband was admitted to 4 different alcoholic rehab centers within 3 months before he was successful at getting sober. He was gone a total of 6 months, the first 6 months of my son's life, while…

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 172.0 lbs 12/22/17 (last time I checked in with this group) CW 176.0 lbs 1/5/18 (+4 lbs) :o Total weight loss: -18! I had gotten up to 179 yesterday, after not weighing in with this group last week. I'm glad I'm down 3lbs in 1 day, even if I'm still higher than I was before Christmas. I…

After being away for almost 2 months, I'm glad to be back. On 12/18/17, I was 174lbs. I didn't weigh myself last Friday, so I'll have to be proud of my 2lb loss in these past…

Still sick, taking steroids again (+9 other medicines to help my asthma get under control so I can breathe), and craving foods. Plus no exercise since my asthma has been so bad. But at…

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 167.8 lbs 11/3/17 CW 172.2 lbs 11/10/17 (+4.4 lbs) Total weight loss: -21.8! Not a good week. Been sick, taking steroids, TOM, and craving foods. Should go back down once everything balances out with my health again.

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 168.6 lbs 10/27/17 CW 167.8 lbs 11/3/17 (-0.8 lbs) Total weight loss: -26.2! Happy to see this loss! I'm due for my TOM, and I know the salt in the chips I ate last night didn't help me for today's daily weigh in. Slowly getting back down and staying in the right direction!

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 174.4 lbs 10/20/17 CW 168.6 lbs 10/27/17 (-5.8 lbs) Total weight loss: -25.4! Very happy to see this! I was unable to log the first two days of the week due to being up north and being so distracted, I barely looked at my phone. Since then though, I have been bringing my lunch to work…

I am making a new rule that I can't go to bed until I've completed my daily entry, regardless of how tired I am OR how embarrassed I am about…

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 169.6 lbs 10/6/17 CW 172.2 lbs 10/13/17 (+2.6 lbs) Total weight loss: -21.8! Not surprised... it's TOM for me and I've been unable to curb my cravings. Time to step to it!

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 172.4 lbs 9/29/17 CW 169.6 lbs 10/6/17 (-2.8 lbs) Total weight loss: -24.4! Yay, I'm so glad I've kept at it this week!

Bad food choices, no exercise, plus not logging accurately equals weight gain. I'm glad that I didn't lose or even maintain with that kind of…

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 171.0 lbs 9/15/17 CW 168.8 lbs 9/22/17 (-2.2 lbs) Total weight loss: -25.2! I'm doing better after a pep talk I've had with myself and a MFP friend talk with me. Definitely like this weight loss direction better than the last few weeks. Thanks again!

My new job is amazing, but they give me free lunches every day & I'm struggling with portion control and feelings of fear that I'm being ungrateful or rude. I'm struggling with finding…

SW 194 lbs 2/12/17 GW 125 lbs LW 168.8 lbs 8/18/17 CW 169.8 lbs 9/8/17 (+1.0 lbs) Total weight loss: -24.2! Busy-ness, lots of new changes, and being in a bit of a funk past few weeks. At least I'm slightly maintaining. Gotta stay serious!

After about 3 weeks off of not consistent running, I'm back at it with the 5K runs! Today was not my best run, but I was able to go for 25 minutes of running. I had to break up the last 8 minutes with walks, but I'm proud of myself for being at this point already despite not running for so long. I was really worried that I…

I'm committing to starting the 10k bridging program once I'm feeling healthier to run again. This yucky cold has slowed me down this week.

Last week, my parkrun went okay. It was slower than I wanted at 41 minutes, but that was probably because unbeknownst to me at the time I was getting a cold. So all week again I haven't been able to run, and I'm missing the parkrun today. The cold flares up my asthma too much and although I am doing better now, I don't…
