59, moved to a new city 2.5 years ago for a job I don't like, and have put on 30+ lbs. I used to have many friends and an active social life, but since moving here I'd rather just get home from work as soon as I can. Hoping to avoid a family history of diabetes, hypertension, and stroke so I want to lose around 60 lbs…

Final post for this thread! Congrats to everyone who stuck with it, no matter what! For those who reached or exceeded their goals, CONGRATS! For those of us who came up a little short, congrats on sticking with it! I've decided to start a new group for WOMEN only. It's all about motivating and supporting each other in our…

A loss is a loss, great job!

I feel your frustration, and understand. I didn't meet my challenge goals. That being said, I'm hosting a Fall challenge starting this Friday, details coming today or tomorrow.

You really made the most of the challenge! Awesome!

For me, the scale can be toxic if I rely on it too much. So to avoid obsessing about the numbers on the scale I have adjusted my behavior by getting on it a lot less. I'm trying weighing one time per month, but no more than once every 2 weeks. That's what helps me, but it could be a different time frame for you. No matter…

Drum roll please... Ok, cancel that! 🤣 There is no dramatic revelation after my final mini challenge weigh-in. 7/26 - 187.2 8/2 - 187 8/9 - 188.6 8/16 - 187.2 8/23 - 185.6 8/30 - 184.6 Challenge loss: 2.6 lbs I'm at 35.4 lbs lost since I began.my most recent journey, with about the same amount to lose for my final goal…

My final weigh-in fornthe challenge is tomorrow. 😳 Who else still has there final weigh-in coming up this weekend?

Wow, way to work for those goals! I love to see it! Congrats!!!

After getting more focused at the end of March and losing 15 lbs in 8 weeks, the numbers on the scale have gone down very slowly for me over the past 3 months. I've only lost 8 lbs since the end of May. It can be frustrating, but guess what? I haven't gained. 12 days really isn't that long and I encourage you to just keep…

I'm 55. I've lost about 35 lbs with at least 35 to go, so hopefully that qualifies me.

I just read your story yesterday! Inspirational! Welcome to the challenge! *FYI, I'll be starting/posting a new Fall challenge the day after Labor Day!

Its absolutely a big deal! Love it! You'll be in the 170's next week!

Starting to feel better and was able to do some real exercise for the first time in 8 days. Felt good to start off the last week of the challenge with a little sweat. I hope everyone is feeling well and ready to finish the challenge strong! Happy Monday!

Always feels great to fit into a pair of jeans! Great job!

Spending the weekend in bed sick, hoping to be back up and at it soon. August has been a little tough, but I'll bounce back. Just want to check in and say good luck to everyone this last week.of the challenge. 💜

Some progress pics. I'm a slow burner and still have 30 - 40 lbs to go. I'm 5' 4" Same shorts.

After dealing with an injury for 2 weeks, now this week I've been sick with a cold/virus. I swear I RARELY get sick and haven't had an injury for a long time, but when I'm in a 5 week weight loss/fitness challenge they both decide to visit. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ Just a little frustrated, but 1 more week, looking to finish strong. *And…

I'm learning to stay away from the scale as much as possible because I tend to obsess over the numbers as well. The mirror and my clothes tell the story quite well. Do what makes you comfortable and nobody else can tell you what that is. Congrats on the loss, and remember take it one day at a time and each day is a chance…

I totally get the concept and benefits of weighing every day, but it's just something I've done before (obsessively) and it became more negative than positive for me. I actually prefer to weigh no more than once every 2 weeks, but for this challenge I'm doing it weekly and so far the scale is still in one piece, meaning I…

Thank you for sharing! I'm happy to hear you've found something that works for you, because that is the key.

I decided to do the "weigh-in" every day for a week thing. I'm on day 2 and I hate it already. 😑 I will stick it out to see what my average weight is for the week, but doubt this is going to be something I continue to do. Anyone else doing this?

Thought of you this weekend when I bought shorts, a pair from H&M size 10 😁, and pair from The Limited size 14 😳 I found this article about vanity sizing. Interesting.…

Welcome to the challenge! Wow, you've really done well with your weight loss! What have you done to achieve such great results?

Welcome to the challenge! Tell us your stats and goals for the next 2 weeks.

Yay! We have similar stats, and I'm a size 12/10 (L/M) depending on the designer/manufacturer. So I'm right with you on the size dysmorphia! Maybe we get a group rate for therapy! 🤣

You are smart to listen to your body and take a rest. Have fun at Kings Island!
