@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 I agree, shame is a natural feeling we all have felt before, but important to not let that take over and become a negative. I have good days and bad days and yesterday was a bad day. My partner also lets me know he finds me sexy and attractive, its just the voice in my head that can be jerk. I'm…

@BrownSugar174 I struggle with self-love. There are things I like about myself but I am really hard on myself regarding my physical appearance. I know that I am better than where I was 10 years ago (32 vs 22) and that my physical appearance doesn't determine my value as a human being, but I still don't like it. I wish I…

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I had another rough weekend, mostly due to my choices, but TOM also a factor. Its like I just forgot everything and reverted back to old habits. Not logging, not weighing, just back to the old way. My 15 pounds loss is no more, more like a 10 pounds loss at this point. Before this gets…

Lord give me strength because there are goodies everywhere!

@terytha I am definitely approaching my diet as a budget and its been so much easier than in the past. @VictorSmashes My revelation is that what works for one person may not work for you and that there is not one right way of losing weight. I feel like especially when engaging in online forums, people can be very into what…

@mmdeveau I really like how you framed that, the threshold between "this stinks" and "I'm glad I did this" being time. The hardest part is stepping out the door for me. But anytime I do exercise I never regret it, I always feel very happy I did it.

Welcome to everyone joining! Looking forward to hearing about everyone's progress <3 @TuesdayLucero Yes it sounds very similar! For now just gonna do salad kits because they are easy and convenient, but I want to explore some homemade salads too. One of my New Year's Resolution was to cook new things so I'm gonna start…

@KeriA I love that about data, you can look back at past weights and put together a story of what was happening at the time, like a snapshot. @mama_onamission @TuesdayLucero I feel like many of us have that experience of losing weight only to put it back on over the years. The lifestyle change is where it is at for long…

Hey everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. I definitely enjoyed my weekend but I also did bad as far as measuring and logging my food. Superbowl was fun, I hosted and made the food which was yummy but high calorie. I feel a lil bloated, but I'm not surprised. I'm not letting one bad day turn into a week, so today back…

Way to go @aliciap0116 !!!! Momentum moving into February, I can't wait to share my 199 scale pic :)

It has been YEARS since I've been able to lose more than 10 pounds. The most important change for me was not drinking my calories. No soda or…

Feeling better, thanks @pamiede and @torihudson6 for your kind words. Dedicating my weight loss to Kobe, using his mamba mentality to put in the work to…

I am so sad with the Kobe Bryant news from yesterday. I have been a lifelong Lakers fan and remember watching him since I was 12. The tragedy affects so many families and its just so heartbreaking. Between being sick all weekend and then this, I have not been eating. This is gonna be good for weight loss but I don't feel…

I’m sick 😭 I have a fever and just feel bad. This is definitely going to affect my eating and exercise. I have no appetite and no strength. I hope it doesn’t last too long.

@Tarzan37 Ooooooh I see. How strange, but it doesn't seem like you are the only one.

@Tarzan37 I wonder if maybe the app needs to be updated. I know when my apps start acting funky its usually because they need to be updated. Either way, do what you need to do to be successful @L2HS You can use this calculator https://tdeecalculator.net/ to help you calculate your caloric expenditure in a day (how much…

Not a huge loss compared to the last 2 weeks but a trend in the right direction. My eating this weekend was over my calorie limit and I did not get enough exercise, but 5 of those 7…

@Terytha I freaking love ice cream! Just goes to show that we all have our thing. I don't have a sweet tooth really, cookies, chocolate, cake, donuts etc are all things that I won't look at twice, but ice cream is the sweet thing that I can't resist (I stopped buying it altogether since I can't resist). @triiinyoung I had…

@bluffgirl67 Congrats!!!! All your hard work has paid off, I'm so happy for you <3 @mmccloy12 I have a gathering with some female friends to celebrate one of our own getting engaged. Like you I am excited but also a little bit anxious because I don't want to fall back into old habits. Like you, I am planning ahead which…

@vegasgirl0825 I am experiencing the same thing as far as hunger (and I am also a teacher lol). I don't think I'm getting sick but I have noticed my hunger is not what it used to be. Maybe just getting used to smaller portions or just really mentally in the game. @pamiede What a difference! I need to take pics so I can see…

@flimflam87 its definitely a blessing when your partner supports your efforts. My BF was similar before as in "should I get a pizza on the way to your place?" but not he sees that I am trying and has changed the types of foods he recommends. @speyerj Way to go! Your starting weight is a little less than my current weight…

My January loss is up to 9.6lbs :O I feel so elated with my progress. 2019 ended rough for me so to be able to erase those gains from the last month so fast is excellent. Mentally I feel good and like I can do…

@BrownSugar174 who are you rooting for? I’m rooting for LSU but have no affiliation to either school. @Aerohead21 congrats on getting back to onederland! @flimflam87 I have the same trouble sometimes, living in the now, being happy now. I think thats also part of the lifestyle change, changing our mentality. Thanks…

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. I’m watching football (I’m a huge sports fan in general, my team is not playing) and reflecting on my weekend. Yesterday was a bad day in regards to eating and logging. I went to a football watching party at my cousins and as you can imagine was full of yummy treats. I didn’t binge…

@torihudson6 hope you feel better! You inspired me to take my own “before” picture even tho I too am slightly uncomfortable. Seeing the progress will prove to be a treat. As far as going over your calories, the important thing is you held yourself accountable by logging that. @speyerj you got this! You’ll be rocking those…

My goal in January was to lose 5 pounds lol I want to now see if I can double my original 5 pound goal. Obviously I need to keep up my habits to not regain what I lost, very…
