Woo! Going down! I'm going to make a true, honest effort not to overeat today and I think I just might hit this week's goal! I have a lot of bloat to come off as I'm just now really getting back into things after falling off the rails a bit over Halloween, but these early wins definitely are motivating. I'm excited to hit…

These daily weigh-ins are helping so much! I'm being way more mindful with my choices. There's still room for improvement but overall I am pleased to be making progress.

Jumping in late, but excited for this challenge! We are planning to start trying for baby #2 at the end of January, so these dates line up nicely with reaching my goals before I may start going back up the scale! (Though I know from TTC #1 that these things can take time, so I probably will have even longer to work towards…

Weighed twice to be sure, but yay! As I wrote, I had a lot of (planned) pizza last night but tried to balance it with lighter eating earlier in the day. And it seems to have worked! Didn't lose, but didn't gain! Huge win! January 2024 SW: 193.4 lbs Ultimate Goal: 154 lbs Round Goal: 183 lbs 11/12 - 188.0 lbs 11/13 - 186.0…

Glad some bloat came off quickly! Had pizza tonight so fingers crossed we can keep a downward trend! January 2024 SW: 193.4 lbs Ultimate Goal: 154 lbs Round Goal: 183 lbs 11/12 - 188.0 lbs 11/13 - 186.0 lbs 11/14 11/15 11/16 11/17 11/18 11/19 11/20 11/21

Really need to buckle down and refocus with earnest if I want to see more progress by the end of the year. I wanted to be way farther along by now, but I'm glad I'm still technically down from where I started in January! I've been down to 184 lbs this year, so I'm hoping a couple current pounds are easy bloat to shed. I…

A quick summary of me: I gave birth last year and am still breastfeeding, which makes things a bit tricky. I did not lose any weight from breastfeeding. However, I am feeling ready to start losing, no matter how slowly! Highest Weight (January 2023): 199.4 lbs 2024 Goal Weight: 154 lbs (pre-pregnancy weight) Ultimate Goal…

Not much to say except I'm still at it! Felt some time this weekend missing how I used to look. Trying to summon those feelings into motivation as I CAN and WILL have that back! I just miss myself. I don't recognize myself at this size. --- A quick summary of me: I gave birth last year and am still breastfeeding, which…

How's that for consistency? Haha! Definite room for improvement as I had a late night snack I didn't need, but it was a rough bedtime with the toddler. 🙃 However, I don't want to be an emotional eater, so I'd like to kick the habit. --- A quick summary of me: I gave birth last year and am still breastfeeding, which makes…

I'm so sorry <3 Sending you so much love right now!

I ended up snacking more than I meant to last night, but my day of good eating seemed to make up for it! Balance, right? I ended up loosely tracking the majority of the day and I ate probably ~2500 calories. WOW! So yeah...no mystery why I haven't lost weight. My second helpings at dinner, plus after dinner snacking,…

Hi everyone! Happy to be back. While I didn't really lose last round, I think it was a great practice in getting me to be more mindful on a daily level. Looking forward to continuing that! I've already done a great job today for my first 2 meals. :) A quick summary of me: I gave birth last year and am still breastfeeding,…

I'm not sure what's going on, but clearly I need to change up something. I'm thinking of tracking calories this week to get a feel for what I'm doing and see if I notice a trend!

Nice round number for the start of the month! I actually am happy with this as I weighed in after breakfast and coffee due to being trapped by a sick toddler. So I'm guessing I was back in the 180s had I weighed first thing, so yay! Starting Weight (2023): 199.4 lbs Starting Challenge Weight: 189.2 lbs Challenge Goal…

@quiltingjaine That's a great tip--thank you! I'll definitely try that in the future!

Every time I have popcorn late at night, I have a gain. I think I need to kick this habit. Sigh. Going to try having chicken broth tonight if I'm having a salty craving. Wish me luck!

I'm seriously getting frustrated! Didn't snack last night but did have a second helping of dinner. I guess that did me in. :( I feel like in my mind, "seconds" don't do much damage, but I need to remember that I'm literally adding a whole additional meal when I do that. Sigh.

Well, back to the beginning! Hoping to get to 188 tomorrow and then finally shake down to 187. NOT going to snack after dinner tonight!

Forgot to weigh-in first thing, so this us after coffee and water! But I had pizza last night so not too surprised and I guess I should consider myself lucky! Though I did good besides that yesterday so I'm a bit surprised. Honestly it's been a big lesson that weightloss while breastfeeding is simply going to look…

Been dealing with some nausea for some reason, and I wish I could say it was helping curb my appetite, unfortunately it's doing the opposite as only carbs feel good right now! But I'm suspecting it's dairy so I'll be cutting back for a bit. I am ready to see some progress soon! Daily weigh-ins seem to help me stay focused…

Really disappointed by this! I guess the 2 scoops of ice cream and popcorn did me in. But I didn't have breakfast and had a salad for dinner, so I had hoped it would balance out. Oh well! On to the next one! For the next round, I am REALLY going to prioritize water and reduce snacking after dinner. I think this will be the…

Back down but I definitely am not going to hit my goal! I feel like this has shown me that my recent "bloat/water weight gain" was actually more of a true regain...sigh. But that's okay! I'm trending down again and can simply lose it again. Highest Weight: 199.4 lbs 2024 Goal: 147 lbs (healthy BMI) Challenge Goal: 185.8…

I'm so so sorry for your loss. I'm sure your family feels your support from afar. Sending so much love your way!<3

Really surprised by today's weight! I didn't eat super clean, but not my worst either. My dinner was heavy in carbs and I could have drank more water so I'm hoping that's all it was. I'm going to drink a ton of water today to hopefully flush out any retained sodium! Highest Weight: 199.4 lbs 2024 Goal: 147 lbs (healthy…

Finally going down!! Going to stay committee today to see another win tomorrow. :) Highest Weight: 199.4 lbs 2024 Goal: 147 lbs (healthy BMI) Challenge Goal: 185.8 lbs 5/18 - 190.2 lbs 5/19 - DNW 5/20 - 189.2 lbs 5/21 - 189.4 lbs 5/22 - 188.8 lbs 5/23 5/24 5/25

Had some TruFru bananas with peanut butter for a dessert, but didn't realize it was WAY more calories than the berry ones...whoops!

Joining late, but really looking to flush these few pounds I've regained this month!

I know it might be too late, but I just saw this and figured I'd throw an application in anyway just in case there's room and it's easy to add. If not, I'll try and catch the next one! How fun!
