Back on September 21st.. -Down 40 lbs overall ( I made it! I'm down 41.2 lbs overall) -Get to 190 lbs (9.67 3.8 lbs to go) -Some clothes goals...I've got a pair of jeans that I can finally button again but have horrible muffin top. Then I 've got 2 button down tops that have got that annoying gap at the bust and also a…

October GW: 189.9 9/21: 197.0 10/12: 193.8 (-3.2; I lost .5 lbs two weeks in a row and lost 2.1 this week!) 10/18: 10/26: Whew - things got completely busy the last few weeks and I wasn't able to keep up with the end of the Setember thread. In addition to that, my eating wasn't ideal (nor was the tracking)..so I'm just…

Two things today... We have to do a health screening annually at work if we want to take advantage of a discount on health benefits - so my goal was to at least be at the same weight I was when I did it last year. Mind you since that time I had gained about 20+ lbs before I started actively trying to lose weight. So I was…

Good luck on the 2nd interview @KeriA

Back on September 8th... -Down 40 lbs overall (4.6 2 lbs to go) New Goal: -Get to 190 lbs ( 9.6 7 lbs to go) -Some clothes goals...I've got a pair of jeans that I can finally button again but have horrible muffin top.

SW: 212.7 8/31: 201.4 9/8: 199.6 9/14: 199.2 9/21: 197.0 mini GW: 180 GW: 160 Yay...so glad to see a decent loss this week! I know weight loss isn't linear, but man if I saw another tiny loss this week I was gonna scream lol. I know those slow weeks will happen, but these successful weeks helps keep me chugging along.

September GW: 191.4 8/31: 201.4 lbs 9/8: 199.6 (-1.8 lbs) 9/14: 199.2 (-0.4lbs) 9/21: 197.0 (-2.2 lbs) 9/28: Yay! So maybe @KeriA was on to something suggesting I eat back more of my exercise calories? The bike program I'm doing also had longer rides this week, so that didn't allow me to do a lot of strength stuff this…

Thanks for this! I've unintentionally ate back more of my exercise calories this week (didn't make it to the grocery store so dinner has been on the fly this week - which results in finding quick solutions that are higher in calories versus when I plan), so we'll see how weigh in goes Monday. I'm at least staying the…

@KeriA Sounds like a wise choice to wait until your air quality gets better before kicking up the exercise again. @aliciap0116 Glad your husband is getting to go home! @catgirl2289 You've got this! As for me I'm still plugging along. I have had my peloton bike for about a month now, and I'm still enjoying it and getting…

Stay safe @Beka3695

I couldn't access the forums for the bulk of last week, but I'm all caught up now. Everyone is doing awesome! Everyone is doing awesome! SW: 212.7 8/31: 201.4 9/8: 199.6 9/14: 199.2 (definitely not the best - but still in ONEderland. Hoping for a little whoosh next week!) mini GW: 180 GW: 160

Thanks! @KeriA and @iloveeggnog - you ladies are doing awesome too. I made myself do my ride last night - man with the A/C out it was rough. It was fixed just as I was finishing up! I woke up and did my next ride this AM too, so I can stay on track for the week. One more 30 minute ride and then the last one of the week is…

September GW: 191.4 8/31: 201.4 lbs 9/8: 199.6 (-1.8 lbs) 9/14: 199.2 (-0.4lbs) 9/21: 9/28: I'll take it! For some reason the majority of last week I was unable to access the forum section of MFP. I've went back and caught up, but I definitely missed being able to read how everyone is doing as that is a reminder for myself…

You described it so much better than I did. But yes - it's like something clicks and says ok done. It's like I convince myself you look good girl, anything else will be a bonus but you're fine where you are. Definitely trying to ignore this type of thinking this go around. I know we want to try for another baby, so I'd…

Back on August 24... -Get back to Onederland (about 1.6 lbs to go - Made it!! 199.6) -Down 40 lbs overall (6.5 4.6 lbs to go) New Goal: -Get to 190 lbs ( 9.6 lbs to go) -Some clothes goals...I've got a pair of jeans that I can finally button again but have horrible muffin top. Then I 've got 2 button down tops that have…

September GW: 191.4 8/31: 201.4 lbs 9/8: 199.6 (-1.8 lbs) 9/14: 9/21: 9/28: Moving in the right direction, but that September goal is looking pretty far off lol. But will keep pushing! The 4 week bike program I started this month is kicking my butt, but I will keep at it. These past few weekends I haven't done a good job…

SW: 212.7 8/31: 201.4 9/8: 199.6 (-1.8 lbs; Yay ONEderland!! Full disclosure I did weigh in yesterday and I was at 200.1 lbs (boo!). I wasn't the greatest this weekend with food and water intake...and let's say I could really feel it. But things got moving (lol if you catch my drift), so I decided to weigh in today to see…

Good job! @crystalsan726

I didn't quite make my goal for August, but I'll keep setting ambitious goals - so shooting for 10 lbs again. I need the push! September GW: 191.4 8/31: 201.4 lbs 9/7: 9/14: 9/21: 9/28: Non-scale related goals: I started a 4-week training program on my bike. I've been easing into the bike by doing shorter rides, and I…

SW: 210.9 (7/27) August GW: 199 (I know that's ambitious, and I won't be too sad if I miss it. But too hard to resist reaching ONEderland when it's so close!) 8/3: 207.7 (-3.2) 8/10: 205.9 (-1.8) 8/17: 205.2 (-0.7) 8/24: 201.5 (-3.7) 8/31: 201.4 (-0.1) Didn't make ONEderland - boo! It wasn't a terrible week; I was on track…

@mmdevaux Sorry to hear about your car troubles. They are the worse! I was going through that earlier this year, and unfortunately I've got quite a long commute (and still going into the office most days) that not having one wasn't an option. I'm glad you at least have the option of going at it with no car. It sucks to…

SW: 212.7 7/27: 210.9 8/3: 207.7 8/10: 205.9 8/17: 205.2 (not so great...but still a loss!) 8/24: 201.5 (-3.7 - yay!! Down 11.2 lbs since starting this thread, and 21.5 lbs to go until mini GW. ) 8/31: 201.4 (BOO lol! Well didn't make it to ONEderland. It wasn't the best week ever, but it seems after a big loss I always…

Hopefully you'll start to notice a change soon! I loved wearing scrubs to work, but in hindsight it is easy to see how the weight is able to creep up on you since there is so much "give" in scrubs. If I had been wearing regular clothes all this time I think I would have realized sooner just how much weight I had gained. It…

@eliezalot and @KeriA I know! I only weigh once a week, so hopefully whenever I finally reach ONEderland I'll continue the downward trajectory and won't ever see that uptick since I don't weigh daily. Lol at least one could hope right?

@CupcakeCrusoe Glad your baby girl is doing better. I hope your stress load is lighter this week!

I know! @azkunk I really hope I see it come my next weigh day on Monday, BUT I know I typically do not see good losses in a row...no matter how on track I am deficit wise. But it should happen soon!! I'm down a little over 20 lbs since re-starting and as expected (based on the last time I lost weight) - I'm starting to see…

SW: 210.9 (7/27) August GW: 199 (I know that's ambitious, and I won't be too sad if I miss it.

@changeforeverlj that's beautiful! I want to be there lol. And love the discussion about body-image. Your journey gives some hope @speyerj

SW: 212.7 7/27: 210.9 8/3: 207.7 8/10: 205.9 8/17: 205.2 (not so great...but still a loss!) 8/24: 201.5 (-3.7 - yay!! Down 11.2 lbs since starting this thread, and 21.5 lbs to go until mini GW. ) mini GW: 180 GW: 160
