@conleywoods so sorry hear about your sweet dog. Those situations are so difficult!

So I'm finishing up my first week of sticking to the 16:8 intermittent fasting and it's gone well so far. I did have a bit of Ice cream a little later than I should have last night, but my boyfriend and I had run to Costco and didn't get back until after my end time so I was outside it by about 30-40 minutes. And…

@bowens1973 sounds like the Gran Fondo will be quite an accomplishment. Good for you for making that commitment and looking forward to hearing how training is going. @graceojo999 welcome! Sorry to hear you're having back pains, I am too and it is certainly not fun. The heating pad has become my best friend.

@AshenMoon also I had to Google OMAD as I wasn't familiar with the term. The first thing I came upon said it's a type of intermittent fasting. I'm going to stick with just doing the 16:8 method for the rest of December (with a couple of cheat days for my birthday and Christmas) and see where that lands me.

@AshenMoon I also like flavored creamer in my coffee but this week I have been doing black coffee with a splash of sugar free 0 calorie flavored syrup. It's not so bad, but I'm sure there will be days I give in and have a little cream.

@ashleycarole86 holy cow, great loss this week!!!

@conleywoods I am still tracking calories, just within the allotted timeframe. Right now I'm trying to eat only between 12-8pm, it's only been a few days but it's going okay right now. One of my struggles is when it gets to be 8-830 and I'm getting ready for bed, if I haven't eaten my calorie allotment for the day, I will…

I was worried I wouldn't have a loss this week after overindulging on the weekend a bit so I'm glad to see the number went down. I'm thinking about starting intermittent fasting. Does anyone else here do it? I don't tend to eat breakfast most days, but I do have a bad habit of nighttime snacking. So I'm thinking of…

Pw: 235.3 Cw: 234.6

I have gotten into the habit of weighing daily which is problematic for me. My logical mind knows it's normal for weight to fluctuate up and down a bit, even if eating at a calorie deficit. But when I see a lower number one day and a higher one the next, it feels really discouraging. I need to get back into the habit of…

@ashleycarole86 I would like to join the steps challenge. I'll set my goal at 8k for now.

Happy Sunday everyone. I'm Mandi, I'll be 35 the end of next week. I live in the Chicago are with my son who's almost 12 and my retired mother lives with us as well. I work in workforce planning/HR administration for a large home furnishings retailer. I have struggled with weight my whole life, but especially since…

I tracked well yesterday, but I think my sodium intake was a little too high and I barely drank any water. I also didn't sleep well so today I feel yucky and tired. Trying to struggle through work. I'm about to go take a quick walk around the building to get some steps in.

Last week weight: 238.5 Current weight: 235.4 It always comes off quick the first week or 2 I'm monitoring calories, then it slows down. Hopefully I can stay on a rhythm this go around.

@kali225 so sorry to hear you're sick, hoping for a quick and easy recovery. Sleep and water sounds like a good plan. December is a tough month because of all the holiday celebrations and my birthday. But, I did a good job last year and hope to stick to a plan this year. My birthday is on a Friday so I plan to not worry…

Thank you for all the welcome back messages. I've been majorly slacking and glad to be welcomed back. Looks like many of you had lovely Thanksgiving celebrations. I had Thanksgiving with my mom, son, my boyfriend and his brother. Small, but nice. I didn't track Thursday or Friday when I went shopping and out to eat with my…

Hello ladies, I see some familiar faces. I was here earlier this year, twice and have fallen off the wagon and dragged behind it a while. At my lowest weight I had gotten rid of tons of clothes as I'd gone down a few sizes. Recently my pants are staring to get tight and I refuse to buy bigger pants again, so I'm back and…

Cw 218.2 Sorry my weigh in is late. And that it is a gain and not a loss. I don't know what is going on with me, but I just can't seem to get my stuff together lately.

Hello, my monday weigh in will be late, sorry! I will post it tomorrow. Here are steps for last week.

Steps so far this week. Despite my new desk job, I am trying to stay committed to moving throughout the day. It's been a struggle some days but I am thankful to have motivating people around to remind me I'll feel better after i take a walk. Plus the walk makes me feel better about having a bit of ice cream. 😋

@jugar steps for 7/3 were 7507, sorry that I missed reporting them.

Monday weigh in Pw: 218.2 Cw: 216.6 Steps for Sunday July 4: 4126

Steps for 7/2: 16,762 I took a few laps around the store in downtime at work and then ventured out to a hiking trail near my house that I've never been to this evening. Which is good because we ordered Olive Garden for dinner and I needed to walk some of it off lol
