Having a hard time sticking with this. I gotta deal with my mental health before trying to stick to something requiring mental fortitude. SW: 200 lbs GW: 140 lbs LW: ? TW: 192 lbs

Good god man, give yourself a break. You can't beat yourself up over weight when you're having a medical procedure.

SW: 200 lbs GW: 140 lbs LW: 188.6 lbs CW: 187.8 lbs Didn't do great with logging this week but a loss is a loss.

Hello everyone. Getting back on track after a bout of covid and a few other curveballs that life tends to throw. SW: 200 lbs GW: 140 lbs CW: 188.6 lbs

SW: 200.0 lbs GW: 140.0 lbs LW: 189.6 lbs TW: 188.2 lbs OL: 11.8 lbs So far so good.

SW: 200.0 lbs GW: 140.0 lbs LW: 190.8 lbs TW: 189.6 lbs OL: 10.4 lbs Grinding away, slow and steady

I log and share everything, although my meals tend to be a bit repetitive so not sure how much inspiration you'll get from my diary 😄

Oh, damn. And here I was so proud of that initial 7lbs drop 😄

SW: 200.0 lbs GW: 140.0 lbs LW: 193.0 lbs TW: 192.6 lbs OL: 7.4 lbs Weight loss seems to be slowing down already. Not sure why, I've been pretty diligent.

I'd like to echo what mgalsf12 said. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing right away, pick up one skill or habit at a time. There's also some stickies in the "Getting started" forum that are helpful.

Welcome. Don't beat yourself up over having to try yet again, you got this!

I'm sort of in a similar situation - I'm over 40 with a 10 year old son and I've had trouble even getting to a healthy weight for several years. I've had a few other things taking up my time but those have recently resolved and I'm now trying to put more effort into my health. What I've been doing this summer is trying to…

Thanks! I'm not rich so this burned a hole on my pocket as well but I think it's the kick in the butt I needed :D It definitely helps having someone exited for me to succeed in this.

That's awesome!

Woo hoo!

This was years ago and I had regained the weight I had lost. How did you even dig this up?

I'd love more active friends. Feel free to add me.

I just started for the umpteenth time as well. There's definitely was learning process to this. We got this!

You got this!

You got this dude! I'd like to suggest you do some strength training too, otherwise half your weight loss will be muscle mass. I recently restarted again as well. Looking to lose 60 lbs. Feel free to add me.

Strength: StrongLifts5x5 workout B, consisting of barbell squats, overhead press and deadlifts Cardio: half hour on the treadmill targeting zone 2 heart rate Assessment: oatmeal, eggs, jerk chicken breast, coho salmon, lots of veggies FFL: don't know what that is

This is from Monday's weigh in SW: 200.0 lbs GW: 140.0 lbs LW: 196.4 lbs TW: 194.8 lbs OL: 5.2 lbs Nothing special happening this week. Just continuing with calorie targets, doing the StrongLifts5x5 program and focusing on zone 2 cardio.

Thanks! My posts might get a bit monotonous but I'll keep posting. No workout today. I spent the past two days moving stuff from a storage unit and I'm totally beat, really needed a rest day.
