on the 'lose it' reddit sub, I want to be able to change my flair to my GW Goal Weight

fitting into jeans I was wearing when I met my husband 14 years ago <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi ladies! I am 41, four kiddos, all boys;19,17,9&4. I’m wanting to lose 12 lbs to safely get into a healthy BMI for my frame size. So far I’ve been restricting calories and sporadically exercising. I’d like to be more consistent with the exercise part!

I am new to this whole recording food and consciously trying to shed some weight. It. Is. Hard. And it is super annoying to see those red numbers with the minus in front. So yeah, I mourn, I mourn hard. I really hope it gets easier

I feel your pain... I've been up since one :(

You, my friend, are one delicious troll. I like it.

Wine. So much wine.

OP, if possible maybe don't spend as much time with this particular friend that isn't helpful :) I for one, really admire your weight loss...I'm trying to lose about ten pounds and I'm finding it excruciating.

I friend requested you!

Solid tip, thanks sincerely! :) Yes, I certainly learned my lesson, I will find something geared towards easing me into it...as soon as the injury feels healed.

Yes!!!! I actually use my baby's 'baby legs' type socks for my phone. Works awesome. I had an armband for my previous smaller phone and it was so annoying to have to remove the cover so it would fit. This option is so much quicker and cheaper :)) I need to bring my phone because the running app and running music :)

It's just sore (to the best of my knowledge) because I went from not running, to a whole bunch in three days. Awesome, I'm happy I can still keep active by walking. :) Thanks!

I just use a sock with the toe cut off and folded over (if that makes sense?) as an armband for my iPhone (I've got a 6, so not sure how much bigger a 6+ is). And earbuds generally just whatever I have on hand, haven't had any that have been better or worse. Not sure if that helps :) Hope you find a set up that works for…

Hang in there, sounds like you've got it under control to me! I was a train wreck today in comparison. Looking forward to a clean slate tomorrow morning. :)

Hm, well I seem to throw myself into it and fail spectacularly! Every day is a new day. And food is so darned hard bc we need it to live, so it's not like we can put it away and never look at it again, can we? Be kind to yourself and know that we take years to get these bad habits so we can't change them overnight…

Okay, will do....but still good to walk on?

I'm just starting out and a rest day just makes me worry that I won't be able to start up again when the rest day is over :#

I'm in! 5'4" ...I'm looking at ten pounds at least...my tall friends think that's peanuts but my pants, shirts, everything...doesn't fit! I had to buy all new clothes. Let's do this ladies! Under Tall power!

This is a helpful thread for someone on her fourth day of weight loss journey! You have all given me courage❤️

I have a few misfits and I love them!!! You'll love having a fitness tracker...they are fun!

I can run for an hour+ without stopping (terrible pace mind you) but after day three of this my body (legs, hips and as of last night, my one knee) are really pissed off at me. I vote you skip ahead, but don't try and be a hero like I did or your body will rebel❤️

:D

I tried it last month, and was so sore the next few days, it turned me off :-/ I'm thinking I'll start again when I have a little more core strength built up so I can at least move afterwards (I've got a baby to look after so I have to think of him...haha)

You can do this! (Says the girl who just ate some chocolate she found on her 7year old sons room--lint and all).

Is it too late to join you two? I'm looking to lose 10lbs also but I'm giving myself until the end of May...let me know if it's not too late :)

I'm not in the same boat, but aspire to be on for as long as you have been!
