I haven't done all that great on my goals this far but I took everyone's advice and reflected on why I started this journey. The biggest thing was I wanted to feel good in my skin. I had a really good conversation with my husband and I just really need to refocus my efforts. It is so easy to loose sight of the end goal and…

I am late putting in my goals this week. I am struggling with my eating really bad. I go through cycles of good and bad. I struggle most when it is my cycle time in the month. I'm trying not to give up...just really frustrated right now. Goals this week: 1: drink my water. »»»I downloaded an app on my phone to help with…

I had a small victory on Monday. I was surrounded by sodas everywhere and none of them calorie free and I was able to resist them and just drink water.

Welcome abord! This is a great group of people and everyone is very supportive.

I'm really glad this thread was started. I know we all struggle but it sure is motivating to hear about all the successes everyone is having no matter how big or small. @Shannontourne there really does need to be a like button.

So this week isn't going too bad. I did go over my calories the other day but today (wed ) I'm finding it difficult to eat enough calories. I did find a switch flip in me today and found some motivation and did a 12 min boxing workout with he hubs. I'm gonna feel that tomorrow. I'm still exploring the food triggers…

Hello everyone....my goals for this week are to eat within my calories and not go over. Also get enough water so I don't reiain water.

Welcome courtney! You have no reason to be afraid or nervous. We are all on here for a common goal and that is to be healthier and feel good in our own skin. I think you have already faced the hardest part of this journey and that is taking the first step. Good job on consistent logging! Keep it up and when it feels…

This week for me was aweful! I don't know what got into me but I just wanted to eat and eat and eat and none of it good. I did get my water in a little bit at least most of the week. We will see what the scale says tomorrow. I'm kind of dreading it though.

Wow! Thank you for sharing your story. That is so awesome that you are on a now well paved road to your goal weight! So inspiring!

This is a great group for accountability. You should join the accountability thread and there is a weight loss challenge every month. You've got this!

ok so this week is repair from the weekend week. I did awful with my eating this weekend. my will power just isn't there to resist all the junk that was around plus every time it was meal time we went out to eat and these people don't believe in eating at healthy restaurants. so I didn't log. I wasn't even sure how to. I…

@HLaR79 it was very hard. Everywhere I looked there was sweets. And not just a little bit either. What's bad is these people are the people that normally eat good but I guess everyone eats out now days. Sigh. I lost the fight this weekend. My will power just wasn't that good. But I am going home now and that crap isn't in…

So I did ok till yesterday. We were traveling all day and eating bad food due to being on the road. Then we get to our destination and everywhere I look all I see is sugar filled items....OMG! What the heck! I did good for a little bit then I caved and had 2 doughnuts. I wish they had tasted gross...but of course they were…

I had major food struggles. I feel like I won though.

Ok so I've done ok on not eating crap. I did have a full out d.p. but only 1. I took a peek at my sodium and it was evenly bad and good. You can definatly tell the days where I ate packaged food and when I ate fresher foods. It's on my radar now.

This week I have one goal. Don't eat crap....ive.been struggling this week with wanting to eat a ton of junk. I haven't but the cravings are still there. I've only done one workout this week so hopefully I can kick my butt into gear. Also I'm going out of town so I'm hoping that doesn't impact my weight too badly. Both my…

Happy 4th everyone. I didn't do all that great this week. My eating was meh. But I had a scale victory in spite of it so yay! I missed my exersize goals so next week has got to be more on point.

It's my pleasure! You will figure this out. Just don't quit. No one ever said it was easy. If it was we would all look like toothpicks. Sometimes you just need some fries...and sometimes you get them brought to you. But like I said before even just being aware is a step in the right direction. It is excellent that you are…

@Hlar79 it is very difficult to be successful if you don't have support. You may just have to take a stand with your family and make junk food illegal in the house. Meaning that is if they insist on eating poorly then they need to respect you enough to not eat the junk around you. Lean on this group and others to keep…

Welcome abord! This is the group to be in! There are a lot of encouraging people on here. I recommend the accountability thread and the weight loss challenge thread.

@Italian_Buju that's tough....take 5 min out of everyday and just breath! If you don't take time for your mental health then the stress will impact you physical health. Life happens but it's how you react to it that makes the change. It sounds like life has thrown you a huge curve ball but all things pass with time. You've…

I didn't think I had a good week last week but the scale disagreed with me and I had a 1.8 lb weight loss on the scale, so I'm pretty proud of that. So for this week I'm gonna step up my game. 1) drink 3 bottles of water per day 2) cycle 3 times this week and 1 body weight workout 3) stick to my calories like they are…

I've had black hole days myself this week. Just find tricks to define weather it is actual hunger or something else. @Italian_Buju I totally get where you are coming from. I am a huge emotional eater. It's my worst enemy. When I have these I try to find something to just focus my mind on to take the stress away even if…

Does this challenge start over every month?

I am where you are in starting over. I had also lost 30 lbs and now I'm attempting to lose it again and keep it off this time. Maybe we cam motivate each other. Sent you a request
