So I threw my back out doing yard work this weekend. Classic. Spent the past 2 months or so dealing with my mental hurdles causing lack of motivation. Then I finally get excited about working out and eating better and this happens. Determined to eat right this week but obviously i’ll be out of the daily challenge again…

@mooreshelly09 I am so sorry to hear this. Positive thoughts to you and your family

Weigh in LW: 257.8 CW: 260.0 As expected. A short term 2lb gain to get away for my wife’s birthday and get my head right is worth it to me. Those 2lbs will be gone soon Congrats @mooreshelly09 !!

Challenge 4/15: y/y/n No workout cause of my vax shot. But I have meals planned tomorrow and a lot of yard work to catch up on. I know my weigh in will be up tomorrow due to my wife’s birthday cake and cocktails at the cabin, plus the rain killing hikes. But I have this weekend planned out and feel like I might actually be…

Still catching up on reading everything. I think I had 77 unread posts when I got back. @cmhubbard92 your before and after pictures are really inspirational

Challenge 4/14: y/y/y Good to get back to the gym. Tomorrow I have my first vaccine shot after work so I will have to miss a workout, but it’s for a good reason!

I don’t think anyone here will disagree with that. We are opening up here more recently, but restaurants and bars are struggling to get food to even serve cause of food production and also servers to work at the establishments. Still gonna be awhile. But anyway I really hope you do enjoy your birthday. I am sure the people…

You all have been very active in my few days away. Good to read some motivational words. Back from the cabin. The only downfall was it rained everyday. We usually start our day with hikes out there but that wasn’t happening. I’ll probably have a gain this week but it was worth it to get away from everything and get my head…

So I had a pretty good week and decided to weigh myself before we leave. Now I have some positive vibes as I go to disconnect and reset my headspace LW: 262.2 CW: 257.8 Ok NOW i leave for our cabin escape! See ya’ll Wednesday!

Hey all. I’m going to be going on vacation later this week. I will not have a scale so can I roll over my weight for week 1? Also, we are staying at a cabin in the mountains, our goal when we go there is to get away from everything in life including especially staring at our phones so I will be inactive until the middle of…

LW: 258.8 CW: 262.2 Let my stress get the best of me this week😠

LW: 259.8 CW: 258.8 I don’t get it. I had a horrible week, mentally and professionally. And I didn’t cave and eat unhealthy or grab a beer out of the fridge. I ate right and worked out every single day this week. And all I did was lose the pound I gained two weeks ago. Beyond Frustrated

LW: 259.8 CW: 259.8 I can’t seem to get the scale to move from 258-259

I think you had it right since this pandemic started last March. I will forever beware the idea of March. Speaking of that whole thing. I am finally to the point where I need to wear a belt again for the first time since this pandemic started and I gained a bunch of weight. But somehow the scale isn’t budging and I am…

LW: 258.8 TW: 259.8 No excuses. I just really messed up eating last weekend. Now I have to undo the damage

Sun: y/y/n Mon: y/y/y Tue: y/y/y I went a little too far over on Fri and Sat last weekend so I think i’m gonna need a strong week just to break even

2021 start: 270.0 Last week: 261.2 This week: 258.8 I would like to say “last time I will see the 260s” but I have said that too much and failed myself. This time I just tell myself “keep going” Great job to everyone else with the great losses I have been seeing this week!!

Challenge Sun: y/y/n Mon: y/y/y Tue: y/y/y Wed: y/y/y Thu: y/y/y So not being able to workout but eating properly I lost a pound a week the past few weeks. If history tells me anything, the week I finally can workout AND eat right I will somehow have a weight gain tomorrow ...

Challenge Sun: y/y/n Mon: y/y/y Tue: y/y/y

@murdog3t So sorry to hear of your loss. I can’t imagine

Hoping to get back to the accountability challenge now. I haven’t been able to work out in over three weeks cause of my back issues. Threw it out shoveling snow in early February. Then I had the covid situation which caused me to quarantine from my wife for a week. Sleeping on a couch for a week when my back already hurt…

Weigh In Start of 2021: 270.0 Last week: 262.3 This week: 261.2

@brandi_84 I am really sad to see you go. You were one of the few people I knew was always always going to respond to my posts when I needed a pick-me-up. I hope all is well and hope to see you here again one day. Thank you

lw: 263.4 cw: 262.3

Absolutely. The reason I feel so comfortable sharing things here is cause most of us are supportive and non-judgemental. Sometimes I may just over share... Appreciate your support!

@maryc11 I appreciate that. Trust me I know that. I work in the liquor industry, so I have lots of knowledge via training and from the (sad) things I have seen in this industry. And I hope I am not coming off like some kind of alcoholic or something ... far from it tbh. I have never had alcohol withdrawal and never plan…

Thank you for the kind words @brandi_84 @Krysless2 and @annabananamc My test came back negative but apparently new guidelines say you have to wait five days if the other person has covid (they do). So now I get to stress this until Sunday... @Krysless2 I am planning on sticking to the dry 30 days plan, starting on Monday.…

Long rant (apology in advance) I have been really on a downward spiral mental health wise, so my motivation has been non-existent. My back is still hurting from shoveling snow 4 days last week so I haven’t been able to go to the gym regardless. A coworker that I worked with yesterday potentially has covid, so now I have to…

Agreed, it was a terribly boring game. I have no hate or love for either team. But I was definitely rooting against Brady. Oh well

I totally lost it this weekend. Not sure what happened in my head this past week but it hasn’t been good. I am glad I have my dry 30 days coming up. Cause with no booze I should have less bad eating too. We are getting buried with snow for the second time this week 🤬 At least shoveling show will burn some calories from the…
