Good morning ladies! I'm here to report I'm doing well and went to the gym last night. It was a real kick in the ego because before this last "break" I was becoming a regular one of the girls in the freeweights section that was getting into some pretty heavy weights. So it hurt a bit to go back with all my weight back and…

Hi ladies! I'm back today to check in :) Thank you for the warm welcome @maureli and I'm glad to see you still here and working at it @AZLisaLou. My progress report for yesterday: I ate on point.. met my macros.. was a little shy on protein but that won't really be a huge issue until I get back to my weightlifting. Well…

I'm coming back! Back right where I started.. except I'm smoke free 6 months! Time to do something about this extra 20 pounds now. XOXOX!

Well I went a little over my calorie goals yesterday but since I have them set so low it was still in a reasonable deficit so I'm good with it. Working overtime today.. so I'm busy and keeps me from eating any junk because I'm logging. @AZLisaLou Oh no!!! Realize its ok that you fell off the track but that's no reason to…

Hi ladies! @NadiaMayl glad to hear you're looking into going for your masters!! That is so awesome. I have no advice.. I got my bachelor's and that was enough.. lol. I've been nailing my macros the last couple of days and lowered my deficit again. I needed a lower target so that if I go over I'm still in a reasonable…

Good morning and Happy November Ladies!!! Dang @AZLisaLou you and @heatherc369 are both broken now!!! What the heck!? Thank goodness it wasn't worse. Great pics @NadiaMayl you look adorable and sounds like you had a great weekend! My weekend was good.. didn't pig out on sweets like I usually would have. We went to a…

@heatherc369 I am almost certain that is not true gain. It's most likely water and could very well be part of the healing process. That said I feel you about the fear of losing what you've worked for all this time. Is there something that you can do with your hands that will keep you busy and not eating out of boredom??…

This sucks so much kitten!!! :( :(

@AZLisaLou I've been smoke free for 135 days today! Glad to hear your excitement about having a good day.. it really does make for a bump in self esteem when we are treating ourselves with care. :) @NadiaMayl hope your son's sleep will get cleared up soon! I had to have a deviated septum fixed and it made a huge difference…

WHOOP! @NadiaMayl I'm thinking about you! @AZLisaLou hang in there with the new job.. starting something new is always stressful. You can do it! @heatherc369 hope you're doing better with your kiddo and school stuff. I'm back at work this week. Smoke free. Went for a 5 mile bike ride with my kiddo yesterday and we had a…

I'll start this again since I'm in deficit again :) Week 1 - 10/03: 170 Week 2 - 10/10: 168 Week 3 - 10/17: 165

Set new goals this week with my co-worker as part of our 6 WEEK CHALLENGE YOURSELF challenge :) The pot is currently at $30 and I'm gonna win it.. bam! 1. Log all food daily 2. Eat under goal of 1600 cals daily, 1 day up to 1800 3. Go to gym at least 2 days Looking forward to it!

REPOST: I accidentally posted this in last weeks update thread.. was tired last night :) Good evening my pretties! I'm doing well. Been logging for 10 days so that's good. Was under cal goals today and went to lift tonight. Felt really good! I am chugging water right now like I've never tasted it..lol. Will be making a new…

Good evening my pretties! I'm doing well. Been logging for 10 days so that's good. Was under cal goals today and went to lift tonight. Felt really good! I am chugging water right now like I've never tasted it..lol. Will be making a new challenge for myself with the lady at work. Last week we both had one day where we went…

Hello ladies :) Just checking in to let you know I've been eating at my cal goal since last Monday.. Tomorrow I'll be setting a new goal for my challenge with my coworker. I'm going to say that for the next 7 days I'll eat at or under my cal goals as well as go to gym 2xthis week. I'll let you know how I did! I think I've…

Good Job Lisa :) I'm just checking in to say I've met my calorie goals for the last 5 days. This weekend will be a challenge because I've committed to logging all weekend and I usually don't do that soooo.. Woohoo! I'm FINALLY not sore anymore..lol! I'm going to the gym tomorrow to lift again. I'll be checking in here to…

@AZLisaLou I say dropping the soda is probably one of the best things you can do.. I used to be hardcore addicted to soda sometimes drinking 2-3 44oz cokes in a day!!! When I started logging all my food and drinks I started to see that a soda could be replaced by a satisfying, filling food item quite easily so I had to ask…

Today I ate within my cal goals & met my protein/macro goals. Super sore from yesterday since I haven't been lifting.. Rest day. Feeling good. Not feeling deprived or hungry at my 1550 cal deficit. We'll see how that works for loss in a few weeks :) Hope everyone is having a good day!

@heatherc369 #thestruggleisreal #icompletelyfrickinunderstand #imbackinblackbitches ;) Glad to hear you're back this week and cutting yourself and your son some slack.. Ahhh.. Momming is so hard! @NadiaMayl I'm sad you're sick!! And I missed your encouraging kind heart so much! Definitely needed a break but I'm kinda…

Holy Crap. I'm here to warn you ladies.. I completely said screw it, no excuses, I just did whatever the hell I wanted. Ate whatever, stopped the gym for almost a month, just right back to where I started. My weight has reached ALMOST to where I started. UGH. Soooo... I'm back at MFP today. I'm going to start tracking…

Good job ladies with all your crushing it! @AZLisaLou you're doing great.. that's such good news that you're feeling good at your deficit and noticing results in your weight loss. Exercise is great.. you just need to try a few things out until you find your happy place. I love weightlifting! @NadiaMayl I do hope you're not…

@heatherc369 I'll do it when I'm cutting again.. its depressing to list gains EVERY week..lol. So keep it up! I'll join you soon :)

I don't put my weight in because losing weight isn't one of my current goals :smiley: Might start with Maintenance but prolly not..lol!

So I'll start! Body Related Goals: 1. Log food consistently regardless of how disastrous the day.. I need to know the truth 2. Continue Stronglifts 5x5 for increased weight and when needed drop weight to improve form. 3. Reach 100 days smoke free. 4. Attempt to not gain any more weight while eating at maintenance all…

@AZLisaLou absolutely!!! I love that you're here! I love hearing about your journey and I want you to succeed at your goals.. whatever they are! Pretty sure we're all on different paths.. just finding what works for us. For example I lost 25lbs pretty fast and furious at a high cal deficit and lots of cardio based…

I met my goal of logging all food since my last post. Ate around my calorie goal of 2000-2200, really close on my macros, met water goals and killed my gym night! I attribute my gym success with eating enough, getting plenty of sleep and two day rest periods. 80 days smoke free! Here's my workout for tonight: Walk/sprint…

HI ladies! Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! Yes I absolutely feel like I know the difference between eating junk and eating a lot of quality foods while meeting my macros. I met my goal of logging all food since my last post here! Ate around my calorie goal of 2000-2200, really close on my macros, met…

HI ladies! Well I met my goal of logging all food today! Ate at my calorie goals, really close on my macros, met water goals and killed my gym night! Woohoo! 80 days smoke free!

@NadiaMayl lolololol!!!! love the glasses and the red splash. Lol about the pool boy.. I'd say a fling with yourself is permitted though right?! You're looking great! :) @heatherc369 good job on getting those squats and lunges with BB's! That's the weight I started with.. keep it up :) Yesterday I LOGGED EVERYTHING.. even…
