@minstrelofsarcasm I am here! Honestly, thats my biggest change/plan. That, and logging my food again. My fitness is fine. I have some issues with my leg/back which impedes things, but Im generally active. But Im a stress eater and my life has been very stressful this year. I absolutely need accountability. So, I signed up…

Amazing that your strength is improving. Imo, the most important part of getting and staying fit are those types of experiences- being able to do those functional everyday things in life with ease. Moving a washer full of water is no easy task! Great work! Hopefully your mood improves today. It does have a lot to do with…

Gosh, I typed a whole intro up then I had a family interruption, and I lost everything! Blargh. Take 2 will be less thorough :-/ Happy to be here with you all! I am 43, mama to 4 kiddos. My oldest turned 21 yesterday! My youngest is 13. I am happily married for 21 years. I work in tech in a very stressful and sedentary…

Awesome, thank you!!

Hi all, My chosen weigh in date is Sundays but I didnt see my group assignment until this am. I did weigh in yesterday though! Starting weight: 170.9 Goal Weight: 140 Goal Weight for Sept: 165 Happy to be here!

@lauren_989 Just hoping you saw my above from yesterday because I saw that you had closed registration in the other thread. I thought I was supposed to post here since I am new.

Hello! I am trying to drop some weight that I gained over the last year or so and get myself back into shape. I struggle with motivation right now and could also use some accountability. What are your goals?

@Slivnfree1982 Finished yesterday! Down to 151lbs this am. I am terrible with progress shots, so these are not great. I will take better full body ones this weekend before starting the 28 day summer shred! Also, the front one shot before was day 2 because I realized I had not done a front shot :-/

I am on day 7 today! Halfway through... whoop!

Day 2 done!

I did day 1 yesterday so a little behind. I will post all before/after measurement info at one time, but starting weight is 154.6 :-)

Wow, I have not been able to get onto boards but oi once on Wednesday I think. Although, I didnt try yesterday because it was busy. I did jillian most of the week but took yesterday and today off fitness because my hip is killing me. @Slivnfree1982 I am so sorry about your tooth! Tooth pain is unbearable. I hope that you…

Thurs, June 25th Track: Yes Calories: Yes. Under Exercise: 3 mi ruck with light pack Yesterday, the app wouldn't load so this is for yesterday. Still 9am here so no check in yet :-) Thanks @mram3582! So far, seems to feel a slight bit better! Looking forward to another adjustment on Tuesday :-)

Wed June 24th Track: Yes Calories: Yes, Under Exercise: Jillian 30ds and crossfit

Oof, that is a tough schedule 😵 Sleep is so hard on graveyard shifts. Growing up, my dad worked graveyard often and years ago I would work 11pm-11am shifts. Sleep sounds like it could be a very likely culprit, as you arent getting any recovery time in. In terms of macros, they are just your distribution of fat, carbs and…

How are your muscles feeling when you workout? Are you feeling stronger or are you getting fatigued faster? That will be a good indicator that you are actually losing muscle and it wasnt just a scale issue. What do your macros look like? I know you increased protein, but maybe it's still low or you are not eating enough…

You are so early in your post-partum journey. Allow your body to heal and enjoy the new baby! Jillian does not go anywhere and the "baby weight" will come off. Healing and enjoying that babe are much more important! Take care of yourself and remember that you have plenty of time so its okay to give yourself permission to…

Tuesday June 23rd Track: Yes Calories: Yes, Under Exercise: Jillian 30ds and crossfit Comments: Found out I have a sprained SI joint today which explains my hip being so wonky lately! Got a fancy belt to get it all sorted so here is hoping to some pain free movement soon!

L3 done today. I finally got into the chiro this am. First time since Jan. I have a sprained SI joint, which explains why my hips has been extra crappy lately. He spent 45 min adjusting my trainwreck of a back though, so should be feeling good in a day or 2!

Yay! Great job!

@Slivnfree1982 You are so sweet <3 It was wonderful seeing my parents but sad and weird to not be able to hug them. And holy cow, 35k steps!!!! Wowza! Nice work! I dont know how you do it with graveyard shift. You are an inspiration!

Username: Kakemery Week: June Week4 PW =154.8 CW=154.9 :-(

Well, this weekend we drove to do a quarantine style get together with my family since I had not seen them since Xmas. That was 6 hours in the car, plus we had pizza and cupcakes for father's day/my niece/daughter's bday. My stomach was a wreck on sunday from it. I cannot eat both pizza and a cupcake in the same day…

Welcome @alexandratucker1990! I think we are moving to Jillian's ripped in 30 for July :-)

Thanks @Slivnfree1982 and @khage525! Some days are harder than others for sure. Today felt better. Every few days I get a little stir crazy and I think impending summer break for the kids had my anxiety on high. Did L3 this am, took the dog on a walk with my rucksack and did some arm work :-)

Friday, June 19th Track: Yes Calories: Yes, Under Exercise: 30 day shred, walking, and lifting Comments: yesterday sucked but back on track today
