Good morning everyone! Today is weigh in day! I woke up with my wedding band feeling tight so I wasn't expecting to see the scale move. Much to my surprise it did!! I try not to let a number on a scale dictate my mood but it really does. I am hoping you all have a great day. SW: 288 CW: 216.3 GW: 144? 1/1: 216.3 1/8: 213.4…

@flimflam87 I love that your husband is on this journey with you! I have been wondering about zoodles but have yet to try them as I think I would be the only one in my house to eat them! Even though my husband is supportive in my journey he isn't one to be too adventurous when it comes to food. Luckily he has a great…

@Tarzan37 I am with you on the water drinking. I have always been a water drinker but I was challenging myself to drink 90oz or more a day. This didn't do well for a good night's sleep. So I try to keep it around 72 oz. I have started making a game out of my frequent trips to the bathroom.. Everytime I have to make a trip…

As I sit down after a hard and busy day at work I find myself wondering how all the lovely ladies are doing on this thread. So many posts to read through to get caught up. It amazes me how much I look forward to coming here. I have never been much of a joiner especially to online groups. I am thankful for this thread…

@BrownSugar174 I am totally loving all your pictures! So inspiring! I am so sorry you had to deal with such a rude sales lady at Talbots. Unfortunately sometimes it takes someone else to pull the bandaid off to make us wake up. Way to turn things around. You look amazing in that dress!!

@sharpdust Going into social situations without a game plan actually gives me anxiety. I tend to want to fall back into old eating habits when I dont feel prepared. Something I continue to work on. Way to go on not letting one day turn into 3 or 4. That's great. I think as long as we hop right back on our weight loss…

@kali31337 Your schedule sounds busy but I love how you fit in a walk with the pup! So good for both of you!! Focusing on one month at a time is manageable. We are going through a conversation at my work and it seems every week the schedule, routine is different. It can be overwhelming. I just try to take it day by day.…

@Lasmartchika Welcome! Many of us do come here daily, if not to post to at least read other posts! You can share your successes, your struggles. Whatever it is you want. You will find support, insight, and a friendship. No judging. Most of us weigh in weekly.

@RavenStCloud Bronchitis is miserable! I hope you are getting plenty of rest and fluids in!! Hard to exercise when you aren't breathing too well and coughing! I hope you feel better soon! Hugs!!!

@speyerj With such good efforts I knew you would see a whoosh! Yay! @stefsc1 Congratulations! I hope to one day be able to join you in loosing over 100 lbs! You are doing great!! @mmccloy12 I love reading your goals and the fact that you can adjust them to fit into your lifestyle. I think finding a balance makes this a…

@bluffgirl67 Migraines are so draining. I hope you are feeling better soon! Hugs to you and your mom. I hope that the planned surgery will be successful. My thoughts and prayers are with you! @Terytha I'm with you, mayo definitely doesnt fill you up and you can definitely can use those 240 calories on something yummy! It's…

Good morning everyone! I hope your New Year is getting off to a good start! Week 1 weigh is done and I'm off to work! Have a great day! SW: 288 CW: 216.3 GW: 144? 1/1: 216.3 1/8: 213.4 1/15: 1/22: 1/31:

My goals for this month are to stay focused! Even though I am only half way to my goal, I am hoping to hit it by the Summer. Would…

I posted this in another thread last night but wanted to share with this thread ,after all this is my favorite one! 😊: Had a busy day and while out running errands my husband looks at me and says," I really think it's time to buy some new pants". I had to laugh because he was right. I had been putting it off. So I looked…

Had a busy day and while out running errands my husband looks at me and says," I really think it's time to buy some new pants". I had to laugh because he was right. I had been putting it off. So I looked around and grabbed a couple different pair in different sizes not really sure what would fit. For the first time in…

My stats: Sw 288 April 2019 Cw 225 Gw 144? 12/1: 225 12/8: 219.7 12/15: 217.5 12/22 217.5 12/30 216.3 I was going to wait until tomorrow to weigh in for the month but figured one day wouldn't matter. Had a really good loss in the beginning of the month then held steady. Considering all the homemade goodness customers at…

@deesibecoool Welcome! You have found a great group of ladies in this thread! So much support and inspiration here! Cravings are tricky. I have learned for me that denying myself or saying something is off limits is the fastest way to start a binge. If I want a cheeseburger and fries. I will get a small or child size…

Sw 288 Cw 225 Gw 144? 12/1: 225 12/8: 219.7 12/15: 217.5 12/22 12/31 I haven't been posting much in this thread. Life as been crazy lately but I do come here at some point every day to see how everyone is doing. I am amazed and excited to see how much this group had exploded. I love how supportive this group is and want to…

You ladies are simply amazing!

I hope everyone is having a good December so far! Sw 288 Cw 225 Gw 144? 12/1: 225 12/8: 219.7 12/15: 12/22 12/31 After standing pretty still the last couple of weeks in November the scale finally moved!

It's December and I am hoping I can stay on track. Although I didn't see the scale move as much as I would have liked it to in November, it did move. Here are my stats: Sw 288 End of March 2019. Cw 225 Gw 144? Dec Gw 219 I am committing to logging everyday. Drinking at least 90 oz of water. Fit in exercise every day even…

@smithcentral, there is absolutely nothing petty about not wanting to be invisible. HUGS! Unfortunately I know exactly what you mean. People see size and dismiss. It's not only cold , it's rude and hurtful. We are more than our size. You can do this!!

@mmdeveau Thank you for sharing that! I love it! Going to go into my Thanksgiving meal with this in mind. "Every bite after the first one tastes the same." A taste of something is enough to feel like you didn't deprive yourself from partaking in the food. Then you can decide if it is indeed good enough to have more. I am…

@ThreeReasonsToChange, welcome! From the looks of your stats you are doing great! I understand food addiction ( just writing it, not even saying it out loud) is scary. I have always struggled with food. For me it's salty, crunchy snacks. Anything from chips to popcorn, crackers. I have a hard time with portion control.…

@RavenStCloud Safe travels and I hope your moves goes smoothly! Thank you again for creating this thread. I find myself coming back a couple times a day to read everyone's posts! The amount of support and inspiration is simply amazing! Looking for to December's thread as well! @speyerj and @Terytha I have joined you in the…

@Terytha Way to go on the squats! I cannot wait for the 5 week prediction to show Onderland! While I know it's not accurate, it is still nice to see the possibility of it! I started late March first of April at 288. and have lost 63lbs so far, so I understand when you say it feels impossible. BUT every day and every week…

I just love how much this thread had exploded! I think the support and inspiration on this thread is amazing! Hugs to everyone on here! That being said.. it sure is hard to keep up and reply to everyone's post! I have a few threads bookmarked but this one is by far my favorite!!!

I log every day the good and the bad because I need the accountability. On foods I'm not sure about I use one that has a higher calorie count just to give myself a cushion. I am planning on exercising somewhere during the day to give me a few extra calories. Most of all I am going to enjoy the day and start fresh the next…
