My grandpa just passed away too, and it threw me for a loop. Not only are you sad and grieving, but it throws your entire routine out of whack. One of the things that REALLY helps me keep anxiety and worry at bay is my fitness routine, so I try to remind myself of that whenever it gets too hard. It feels good to eat that…

Honey, if you are only 15 pounds heavier than you were at 15, kudos to you! Most women would kill to be that close to their high school weight. Try not to let yourself get too discouraged. I'm a shorty too, and it just takes a little bit longer for our bodies to shed the weight.

I think your excitement is great! If you wait to lose a bunch of weight before you get happy about it, at what point do you get to just be proud? Half the battle is staying motivated, and being proud of yourself is key to that. No matter how much the scale says you've lost - you let yourself feel that joy!

I totally get it. You don't want to hype up your weight loss plans, just in case you don't get the results you're planning. I do notice that it helps me a LOT to be able to share my goals with just a couple people IRL. That way it becomes part of your daily life instead of a secret!

JUST FOR TODAY (THURSDAY): -drink 10 cups of water -save up calories for breakfast with dad

Over a year I gained about 25 pounds with no change in diet or lifestyle whatsoever. I spent several months trying to blame it on some unexplained health issue, but eventually came to this conclusion: WHATEVER the reason, I can either feel crappy about it, or I can do something. On about the third or fourth pep talk I got…

RIGHT?? I wish I could go back and tell my high school/college-aged self to stop beating herself up. (And in that same line of thinking, I should appreciate being the size I am NOW as well.)

I missed Tuesday, so... Just for today, Wednesday: -Go to yoga -Make grilled chicken for dinner (I am NOT a good cook, so this will actually be a challenge to see if I can pull it off)

Trying to lose weight on the night shift is no joke! I slept most of the day yesterday, which was great for not over-eating... not so great for exercise. Just for today, Monday: -Go to yoga -Stay under my calorie goal

Just for today, Sunday: -Drink 8+ glasses of water -No eating out -Don't compare myself to anyone but me

I am a bridesmaid in a wedding this June. Had my dress measurements taken a few months ago and was mortified. Trying to slim down 15 pounds by summer.

Just for today, Saturday: -Take Cash to the dog park -Go to Zumba -No more than 2 drinks with friends

I am new to the group! Trying to get back to MFP and exercise regularly for the first time in my life, really. Just for today, February 6: -No eating after 8pm -No more than two drinks with friends
