I have done 2 weigh ins through the week already just so I can see where I stand. Sunday, I was down two pounds and thought to myself, "Wow! I am way ahead of the game!"... This part may be a little bit of TMI... but my TOM arrived on Monday.. and I think it is making me retain some water because when I did another weigh…

I've been staying pretty strong for this last week. Got my workout in & stayed under calories! Just one more day before my weigh in! Need to make my best choices tomorrow! & here is a little motivation from Ryan Gosling LOL

Hey team! Got my Monday work out in and was able to stay under calories!! Hope everyone had an awesome Monday!! Let's have an even better tomorrow!

Beautiful poem!

Just finished an intense workout on the treadmill. Did some intervals of running, side stepping and backwards walking all at an incline! After I worked up a sweat of doing 30 minutes on the treadmill I jumped in the my 70 degree pool and did some exercises in there! First time being in the pool this summer and it felt…

It can be difficult. We can't change the past but we can change the choices we make in the next moment! Stay strong, you got this!

Great job team on coming in second place!! Here comes the final week for April!! Team Thin It WILL Win It!! What are you going to do or have you done to make this week your best week yet?? My goal til my weigh in day is no eating fast food. This won't be too difficult for me because I don't eat out a lot. But when I do, it…

I am actually going with a group of ladies to the beach that same weekend!! I know my body is NO WHERE near bikini ready but any weight I lose will help me feel a little more confident!

So excited for the new group!! Already registered for next month. How has everyone been doing this week so far?? Have you set any personal goals? How are you doing at achieving them?? Got my exercise in this evening and it felt great!! I was dreading working out.. but when you finally do it, you remember how good it feels!…

I can very much relate. I have been having some small losses also and I know how discouraging that can be. But the most important thing to remember is we are here to change our lives. We can't compare our numbers to anyone else's. Whether the loss is big or small, it is still a loss! All of those losses over time are going…

Way to go team!!! We have lived up to our name "Thin It To Win It!" Let's continue to take the top spot for these last two weeks!! & us being able to keep all our original team members makes this even more successful! I love that we all have been sticking with it. Just so proud of my team! :smile:

Ok...... so I just noticed you can "Like" forum posts now!! That is awesome!!!

@wahagent05 has some great tips above!! What has helped me is when I started weighing my food with a food scale. I would look at the nutrition label and weigh my food accordingly.. the more you weigh foods, you more you will be able to eye how much you are putting on your plate.

Hey team!! Sorry I have been MIA this week but I've been quite busy. I am so glad to see this thread so active! I weighed in today and lost 1.8 pounds. I was hoping for a higher number but I am still thankful it is a loss. I am in with the squats challenge! Maybe it'll be the motivation I need to kick it into the next…

Also, look how close we are to 3rd place!! Let's work hard this week so we can make one of the top 3!!

Great job to @nerdishgirl3 for placing second with overall percentage & pounds loss in this challenge!!! & @wahagent05 was not far behind in making the top 3!! Also, @nerdishgirl3, @wahagent05, & @303lissy we're our top 3 on our team!! Keep up the great work everyone and let's bring some great numbers this week team!! :)

I love your energy and great attitude in this post! Weekends are tough and I think its awesome you made your weigh in day Monday to try to help you stay accountable over the weekend. I am glad you are continuing because we should never let one set back define us in any challenge. We can always bounce back and work hard the…

So true about weekends! Weekends seem to be the hardest for me, but so far I've managed to stay under my calorie goals! Just one more day to make it through. I have been having some horrible cravings this weekend. But I have not given into that temptation because I know it's ultimately not worth the calories and you guys…

This is one of the many quotes that has helped me throughout my journey. I have been a yo-yo dieter ever since I was a young teenager. I would lose a little bit of weight, then gain it all back and then more. I remember having to get on a scale in 5th grade and seeing I weighed a little over 200 pounds. Being this way all…

I really hope you get to feeling better soon! Take it easy and try to get that injury taken care of. That is the most important thing right now. Maybe if you're not able to workout as well, keeping a good watch on your calorie intake as well as the type of foods you are taking in will be really helpful with your weight…

thank you so much @wahagent05 for all the encouragement! I ended up losing 1.8 pounds which gets me now at 328.6! It has been so difficult for the last month getting below 330 and now that I am below it, I am NEVER going back again! I hope I can say bye bye to the 320s by the end of this challenge :) Have a good day team!!

Hey there team! Doing my daily check in.. I was able to stay under my calories. I didn't have too much time to exercise but I did get 20 minutes in. & I fell short of my steps goal. I did get at least 4,500 steps in. A several posts back, I remember @wahagent05 talked about making up for whatever exercise (or in my case…

Excellent job on the 2 inches! From different things I read online, it's very hard to spot reduce on a certain part of the body. But I will try to look around and see if there are any good stomach exercises that may help some!
