I've had a couple of people tell me, "Wow! You're glowing!" Focusing not only on the physical aspect of my health but my mental health as well is starting to show.

Feeling more confident. When guys smile at me or open the door for me (all of a sudden happening more, hmm), I don't avert my eyes or dodge by as quickly as possible as though they've made a mistake. I make eye contact and smile back.

Went out dancing this last weekend and wasn't a sweaty mess.

I let myself give in to my donut craving during Superbowl. Ate at maintenance for the first time since re-starting my journey this year. Instead of throwing in the towel and continuing to eat junky yesterday, I got back on the wagon. Ate well, took my kids on a small hike and realized this is finally becoming a lifestyle,…

Not proud, not ashamed. Not beating myself up about it. Instead, all but one day I made sure to walk 10k+…

Didn't go to the gym but one time this week, but mostly kept within my calories. Felt hungrier, moodier, etc. this week so…

🌈Finally glad to be taking care of myself in 2022. Took 6 months for me to get motivated to start- but here I am, and have to remind myself at least I started! My goal this month is to lose 10 lbs. Continuing to go to the gym 3 days a week (minimum) and stay active by going on walks in my neighborhood the other days.…

July Weigh In Age: 32 Height 5'7" SW: 236.8 CW: 228.0 July GW: 218.0 7/1: 228.0 7/8: 7/15: 7/22: 7/29: Excited to be apart of this thread! Hoping to keep remaining accountable. :) Want to start adding in exercise this month in addition to my dietary changes. :) Let's do this!

Typically the week after my period I will see a decent amount of weight lost, and then I will stall for the remainder of the month. It was really tough the first month because I thought I was doing everything all wrong, but I stayed consistent and then had a good drop. It has been consistently this way the last couple of…

I have a standing desk at work, and I like it. I also have the option to be seated in a normal office chair as well though. I will alternate throughout the day. If I am having a day where I am tied to my desk doing paperwork, I will stand. Otherwise, I will take walking breaks and typically sit at my desk as a break. I…

Up some water weight today, but I ate a lot of carbs and high sodium foods the last couple of days. Heading on a trip this week, so my goal is to bring…

I want necks to break as I walk past. I want to be sitting by the pool in my string bikini eating a juicy burger not giving AF because I earned it. I want to look like I belong with my beautiful, tiny, body-conscious friends when we are out at events. I want someone to offer to buy me a drink at the bar.

Shark Week just started, so we will see if I can maintain/lose with the water retention. My goal is just to not gain anything…

I work long days as well, and often find it's difficult to get to the gym... so when I'm at work I just try to stay as active as possible and ensure that I have fresh vegetables and proteins available for when it's my break/meal time so I don't overindulge. Focus primarily on the nutrition.. make sure you have your…

Yay! May seems to be flying by... where is this year going?! Anywho... (2/19) SW: 222 (5/19) Week 1: 207 (5/19) Week 2: 205 (5/19) Week 3: 204 GW: 160 Down 1 lb. from last week. The losses are little each day.. but honestly I don't care as long as it is in the right direction (DOWN!) The first part of the week I struggled…

Just turned 30! Hoping this decade is the best yet.

I stay consistent, no matter what. I make sure I am measuring/weighing all of my food and logging correctly. I stay positive, because if I really am being diligent about my logging.. the weight will eventually come off, it's just a matter of when.

Second week of May check-in... Feb 2019 SW: 222 May 2019 CW: 205 (-2 lbs last week) 2019?? GW: 160 Last week, I FINALLY broke through a stall in weight loss that I was stuck at throughout April. So many times I wanted to give up and throw in the towel, but glad I didn't. Trying to stay consistently (around) my calorie goal…

Honestly I would dial back the exercise and focus more on the diet. Sometimes if I over-exercise I become ravenous... and I undo all the hard work I put into the gym. YOU CAN DO THIS! Every day is a new day. :)

You look great!

SW: 222 CW: 207 GW: 160 Weekly Goals: Exercise in any form for 30+minutes x5 // Keep sodium and carbs in check! Monthly Goal: Get to ONEderland :) C'mon ladies we got this!

I am glad this post resurfaced... I'm not happy, as my face is breaking out like crazy, and I have not ever had any issues in the past with bad skin. I've not been exercising any more than I previously had been, simply eating healthier and losing weight. No medication changes, no skincare changes, no new detergents, etc.…

My highest logged day so far is around 2500 calories.... that was going out to eat and having a couple drinks + trying to be somewhat mindful of what I ordered. Before I started caring... I'd say easily 8k... it's horrifying when you look up nutrition facts for meals/appetizers at restaurants and realizing how many I ate…

You look great! Definitely admire the discipline... and the fact you're not just working on your outside, but the inside too. Think that's a great reminder to do. :)

I'd like to get down to 160... my lowest I was at 178 (5ish years ago)... and thought I looked good, but honestly the number on the scale doesn't bother me as much as how I look in clothes. OP, you look great at 193 btw!

Pure Fit Peanut Butter Crunch. They fill me up for longer than any other bar I have tried (even ones with more protein)... I think because it tastes better it's more satiating?

I am all about Pure Fit Peanut Butter Crunch protein bar along with an iced tea. The iced tea helps keep me full and the protein bar just plain tastes good.

I will usually just throw in a little white lie... "Oh shoot, I'd love to... but I just ate." Or a good ol, "Ah dang, I would totally but what I brought is going to go bad if I don't eat it today." Now the planned potlucks are a bit tricky. I usually sign up for a healthier dish, and load up on that and try to find a few…
