Thank you! It’s much appreciated.

Thank you both for your suggestions! I’m going to see if that helps me feel better.

It works if you do! Seriously, set it up and pay attention to what you are eating, stay in the calorie guidelines and you will lose weight.

Congratulations!! Babies are such a blessing!

I was a little discouraged this morning as I didn’t sleep, everything hurts and the scale was up FOUR pounds. I did my yoga this morning and accidentally discovered I can do a full Plow Pose, tops of my feet flat on the floor this morning. I got ready to go to the store and was like dang… my waist looks tiny. Tiny. I…

Hello, I hope you all are doing well! 11/1 195.8 11/8 192.6 (3.2 lb loss for this challenge) I’ve been going back and forth with 3 pounds for two weeks now, so hopefully I’m on the down side and next week will better. I’m still up .6 from my lowest weight (192.0) on 10/23, but definitely still trending downwards. I have a…

I did not read all of the replies, I just wanted to add a thought. Maybe you need more protein? If I personally ate a bagel and cream cheese, I would be ready to gnaw my arm off later. Some food combinations do not work for me. Some food combinations make me hungrier for more foods that don’t work for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I need…

I didn’t read all the replies, but the container I’m drinking from matters in how much I drink. I won’t drink much water from a cup, or my stainless steel reusable water bottles, but I drink a ton of water out of the lifewater or smart water bottles. They are thick plastic so you can reuse them forever. I just keep them…

^This!! If you met them today would you want to connect with them? That’s so smart! They say “Friends for a season, friends for a reason and friends for a lifetime”. They aren’t all the same thing. And honestly, if you don’t want to do the same stuff they are doing, maybe find some people who do enjoy the things you enjoy.

I’m sorry that happened to you. It’s happened to me as well. I never really was into drinking or smoking, but some people I actually care about treat me differently because I look different, I guess. I don’t know, but I was also pretty sad about it. My husband still treats me the same except some days he is like “Just…

I am a neighborhood regular. Like we walk our dogs every single day of the year, sometimes two or three times a day in our little neighborhood. At about 40 pounds down I had a couple random people running up to me saying “what are you doing? You’re doing great… blah, blah blah”. My direct neighbor would mention it every so…

I’ve shrunk from a 9.5 wide women’s running shoe to an 8 regular! 😮

Amazing!!! Seriously, that’s so awesome. My dad got heavy into biking when I was a kid and would go out 50 miles at a time which I always thought was an insane amount and here you are doubling it! 💪

Thanks! I was actually expecting that as well, like maybe it looked more swollen because of something else being smaller, my ankles just looked bigger but no it’s actually more swollen than it used to be. It did use to be swollen as I have had edema for years. I have two rare autoimmune bile duct diseases that have put me…

So, last January I bought a diet/fitness tracking workbook and page one was weight, measurements and goals. I took the measurements and wrote down my goals and then folded taped the page shut. I was thinking yesterday my ankles were especially swollen (they are) and went to that old workbook that had my stats written down…

Hello all! I was pretty successful in our last challenge, so I’m looking forward to this one! 11/1 195.8 Good luck everyone!! 😀

Happy Halloween! We just got home from trick or treating and one of my neighbors said “Girl! You have gotten tiny!” I’m definitely not tiny, but it felt nice to hear. 🎃

I’m in! I lost 17.8 pounds in our last challenge so I’m here to do it again. 💪 I‘ll weigh tomorrow morning for my starting weight.

8/1. 213.2 8/8 213.8 8/15 213.6 8/21 210.0 8/28 207.2 9/5 206.4 9/12 203.8 9/19 201.0 9/26 201.0 10/3 199.8 10/10 197.6 10/17 194.4 10/22 192.0 10/31 195.4 what the heck? Actually I know the issue is related to carbohydrates … anyway, challenge complete with a total challenge loss of 17.8 pounds I’m looking forward to our…

My NSV is I have figured out what my brain needs to let go of my too big clothes. It’s simple: Put. It. On. Fine, brain, you love it so much, let’s wear it. 😂 And yep, that’s what I needed to do. I needed to actually see that this clothes does not fit and as much as I like it, this amount of tailoring is beyond my skill…

This may not apply to you, but I drink coffee in the morning and sometimes all they way through dinner too keep me a little more energetic. But the actual game changer for my sleep is casein protein shake at bedtime. I use 15g chia seeds in it which actually is supposed to help you sleep. I soak the seeds in water for a…

Thank you for taking the time to write down all of this. I needed this today and I’m kind of in the same place. My husband is my cheerleader, but my other people seem to be… I don’t know, going through their own stuff. Thank you, again. ❤️

Nice job!! That’s a valuable lesson!

So… I just had my virtual health check up for my biometric screening. I’ve lost 75 pounds since my one a year ago (125 pounds down from my highest medically recorded weight) and um… my NP was absolutely floored. She asked “What are you doing to lose this weight?” She suggested my BMI is a bit high due to my muscle mass…

This is the stuff I’m here for… people quite literally changing their lives. ❤️ Wonderful job! I’m so happy for you! 💐

The best treadmill is the one you will use. It depends on what you are going to do with it also. I am a huge fan of the NordicTrack line because I enjoy the IFIT programming. I have a NordicTrack treadmill that I’m going to replace with one with a bigger screen when this one dies. I have had mine for going on 4 years and I…

You can absolutely do this. Any deficit will do, so don’t push yourself too hard, just keep going.

Well, I’ve shrunk out of my SHOES! What the heck? I have noticed my shoes were getting looser, but this morning it literally feels like I’m flopping around in my husband’s or one of my son’s shoes…

Something I was not prepared for and am currently struggling with is people who I love, and care for greatly being aloof or distant from me which seems dumb as hell to me. It literally seems to be related to my change in appearance or size? I don’t understand why everyone can’t be rooting for you. It seems like when you…

Okay, thank you! I really appreciate your help. 💐
