Hi team. I really struggle this week with being accountable to the team and to myself. After coming back from my trip it was my BFs birthday and birthday party over the weekend, so the whole week kind of just went to hell. I didn't weigh in and I didn't really track much. Some life stress has also really gotten in my way…

Hi Team! A lot of life stuff in the works for me, so I put weight loss on the backburner a little bit this week. While, I still continued to make good eating decisions, I just haven't been accountable to the group with my daily check ins! I'm sorry team! But I am finalizing life stuff today, so I plan to start back up…

Hi Team! I am back from my brief vacation! Eating was ok, not great while I was away. BF's birthday is today so we are doing dinner out tonight and then a party with friends Saturday. Then, my friends who I was on vacation with decided to do an impromptu weekend together for the labor day holiday! So when I thought I was…

Jwall309 Friday Week 3 Pw: 169.4 Cw: 169.8 Weighed in technically on Thursday so I’m confident that with an extra day i would have been down at least by a bit. Also has two meals out early in the week which is unusual. Not too upset about this. Just moving on and forward

Daily Post (Tuesday) Track: Yes Calories: Over Day: I received some very unexpected news at work which resulted in going out for dinner and drinks with BF to celebrate on a whim. I was offered a huge promotion, and while I still haven't accepted and need to get some things sorted through first, BF wanted to celebrate me in…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Day: Back on track with a low calorie salad for lunch that left a lot of calories for dinner. Originally I planned to cook dinner, but BF had a horrible day at his new job and needed support and to chat for 2 hours after he got home. So, it was 8 pm before we thought about…

Hi all! Had a long busy weekend where I did not stick to the game plan. But its ok, today is a new day and can get back into the routine! I will be out of town for weigh in this week, so I plan to weigh in Thursday morning early instead as I wont be back to a scale until Monday night!

Jwall309 Week 2 Friday PW: 170.2 CW: 169.4 WOOHOOO in the 160s again!! Feel very relieved and happy with that. The 160s have always been my happy place, where I feel more comfortable in my body and content. I do want to try to get down to an even healthier weight through this challenge, but I'm so relieved to be getting…

Daily Post (Thursday) Track: Yes Calories: Way under Day: Took a day off from work to handle some appointments, but that also meant I was running around all morning so didn't get a chance to eat. I got home around 230-3 and was planning to eat a late lunch, but I started reading a new book since I had the afternoon to…

Daily Post Track: Yes Calories: At goal Day: I have managed to shift how much I need to eat during the day to feel full. Before I would need a larger lunch with snacks to make it through the day without feeling hungry, lately I've been able to manage with a pretty light lunch and fewer snacks. Funny how our bodies and…

@johicks We put in an application on an apartment yesterday (DC apartments are extremely competitive) so if we get it, and thats a big IF, then we would move in September 1. If we dont get it, I think we might push the move back to October for financial reasons and some career things that are up in the air right now.

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Day: Fully back on track with a light lunch and a light dinner. BF wanted steak so we stuck with side salad only since the steak has a lot more calories than our normal chicken. Had enough calories left over for a little Halo Top to end my evening, which was definitely needed.…

Wow this weekend really got away from me. Full social schedule, so really difficult to keep eating on track, also apparently its TOM so I could just eat and eat and eat. Committed to getting the train back on the tracks today and the rest of the week. Another big weekend ahead, so I need to have a better strategy. One…

Daily Post (Thursday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Day: Had a crazy weird drama filled day at work, so had one unplanned drink after work with my team. Also had a morning donut that was brought in as a good luck/get well treat for my work friend who is having surgery. So I had to have a light dinner to compensate for the two…

Jwall309 Friday Week 1 PW: 170.8 CW: 170.2 Slow and steady wins the race....or at least thats what I'm telling myself

Daily Post (Wednesday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Day: Another light eating day. I've been feeling a bit rundown and overall bleh. Not sure if I have a virus I can't kick, new allergies, or a lowkey sinus infection. Might leave work early today and work from home tomorrow to have some extra time for rest. Our social…

@johicks wow teriyaki rabbit sounds really interesting! Glad you liked it! This time we didn't do chose anything super adventurous like that, but just stuff I don't normally cook at home. So we got thick cut pork chops, a thick steak, and salmon. We thought about getting lump crab cause I found a great recipe for air fryer…

Daily Post (Tuesday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Day: Ate pretty light today as I had a lot of running around and chores to get down during lunch break at work and after work. Did groceries and got some variety in meat to keep things interesting. My instinct is to always just buy chicken cause its what I know how to cook…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Tracked to the best of my ability so I would say either right on goal or a little bit above to account for eating restaurant food. Day: Even though BF started a new job last week, his old work place still asked him to attend an employee appreciation night at the Nationals game…

Hi Team! My name is Jessica, I started my most recent weight loss journey (have had two others before this) in mid-February and joined the challenge in March. So far, I've lost 22 pounds. I'm still 25 pounds from goal, but I'm slowly approaching the halfway mark! This is the longest I've ever stuck with a healthy lifestyle…

Jwall309 Week 4 Friday Pw: 171.6 Cw: 170.8 Happy with it considering i started this week above 175! Woof. Back on track and ready to push myself in August to see more loss and hopefully just a tiny bit faster

Daily Post (Thursday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Day: 100% back on track and in a better mindset, I'm confident I will push myself in August to have a better rate of loss and feel better mentally and physically! I will post my weigh in later today!

Daily Post (Wednesday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Day: Solid day, saved some calories throughout the day to have some popcorn at the movies. Split a large between 4 people and didn't even finish and I made sure to remain mindful as best I could and only take as much as I actually wanted to eat rather than just mindlessly…

Daily Post (Tuesday) Track: Yes Calories: Over by less than 25 Day: Another solid day back on track! Feeling better, bloating as gone down, feeling more positive about continuing this journey. I have one social event this weekend that involves eating and alcohol, so my plan is to enjoy that, but then stay on track Friday…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Under Day: After weighing in, I was determined to stay on track today and luckily bloating and fullness helped me make choices for lighter foods throughout the day so I came in under calories. Kicked off the week in a great place and mindset to finish this month off strong and start…

I'm coming back sheepishly after hiding from the team and my scale for the past 3 days....Missed weigh in, which I'm not proud of, and rather than get back on the horse, I hid out for the rest of the weekend, started out my days tracking then would conveniently skip tracking dinner and alcohol calories. So of course, as…

Daily Post (Wednesday) Track: Yes Calories: Over by 107 Day: Didn't do a good job planning ahead so had to eat frozen pizza for dinner, luckily I had a decent amount of calories left for dinner and I weighed out my portion instead of just guessing. Only went over by a little bit. Its extremely hot in DC this week, so its…

Daily Post (Tuesday) Track: Yes Calories: Over but under maintenance Day: Work continues to be frustrating and stressful, and I think its just going to be one of those weeks where there are a lot of social events during the week and weekend and I just need to practice moderation at all of them instead of saving up calories…

Daily Post (Monday) Track: Yes Calories: Over just a bit Day: This work week has gotten off to a stressful start, so had a few glasses of wine after work that put me over but thankfully not by very much. Life is a lot right now because of work and some other factors. We will see how the rest of the week goes....

Weekend Post Tracked to the best of my ability Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, and while I didn't do the best with sticking to plan, I didn't do the worst. Indulged more than I wanted to but also didn't just spend the whole weekend eating everything and anything. I didn't weigh myself this morning as I want to give myself a…
