Happy March everyone! I've been off the group the past week. I had an intense week at work. But now I'm on March break! I'm hoping to get lots of writing done this week!! @momofthree9845 have you ever tried Noom? It's online and I've found it really helpful in the past. I'm using it again now. There are usually promo codes…

My goals this week: - Track at least breakfast and lunch each day - Exercise 3x Megan

@human_bean What is a walking pad?? I've never heard of such a thing! My book is set in 1884-1885 and is about a young woman attending a co-ed college in Bristol. It's a romance and focuses on women's rights - especially in education. I'm really excited for when it's finally finished. Monday was a holiday in NB, Canada…

Grrrrr. Forgot to post my weekly goals on Sunday!! And here it is, Tuesday. For shame. My goals are to... - Track my dang food - Be mindful of my macros - Stick to my exercise schedule - make it a priority!

Good job @human_bean !! Proud of you!! I'm aiming to run 3x this week as well so we can go for it together! Sorry to hear you're having troubles in your family. My weekend was great. I took Friday off, and then yesterday was a snow day (I'm a teacher) so I got a 4 day weekend!! I did a lot of writing. I'm writing a novel -…

Wow, great job @turtlesnakes !! My goals: Tuesday: lift Wednesday: run Thursday: run Friday: lift Saturday: run Sunday: lift

Hey everyone! I have not been on here for a few days. My apologies. I got totally out of routine and had frustrations with the scale on Sunday and I had a mini give-up breakdown. BUT I'm back to it. Planning to run today on the treadmill (not my favourite, but still) and listen to a podcast. I'm not sure of any programs…

@sugaraddict4321 thanks!

Welcome @gwweber3 and @turtlesnakes ! So happy to have you! Best of luck with your goals this week.

Hey everyone, Proud of you all! You can do this! I'm now doing squats with 70 lbs and I need my husband's help to get the barbell up over my head to my shoulders. I am feeling soooorre today! We had some new people join our group! Welcome all and I hope you find our group motivating! Megan

Goals: Track food every day Up my protein intake

I have the book The New Rules of Lifting for Women. It is great. There are lifting routines, food suggestions and all kinds of helpful material to help you gain muscle and lose fat. I have a barbell, dumbbells, a swiss ball, and resistance bands at home and they are sufficient to do the workouts. I do need some heavier…

Not a lot of activity on here. Part of that is my fault too. I hope everyone has been doing well. Weight lifting has been kicking my butt. But I'm sticking to it. I was super disappointed by a gain of 1.6 lbs from last week...but I hope my body is just adjusting to my new workout regiment. It's exam week at school and…

I tried to post on here a couple days ago, but it disappeared. I hate it when that happens! I did not want to retype it all, hence my absence. I'm working away at my goals, trying to stay strong. I'm finding that weekly goal chart I shared with you really helpful, and I love checking off things I've done successfully. I…

Goals: - Stick to lifting and running schedule - Cut out chocolate, candy, icecream, and other sweets - Log food every day - Meet macro goals

Happy Sunday! Did my lifting this morning and had a protein shake. Hoping for a great week ahead! How is everyone making out?

I just found some really cute and hopefully helpful goal printables. They are free and you guys might like them too! Weekly goals: https://www.saturdaygift.com/weekly-list-planner-rose/ Monthly goals:…

@goingape and @violetanderson39 I am figuring out my goals right now! I know it's time to get serious and actually reach my goals. It honestly seems like it was easier to lose 30 lbs than it is to lose the last10 lbs I want to now. So frustrating! But I just need consistency in my food logging and exercise. If I can get…

Hey friends, The kittens have been better, thank goodness. I woke up at 1 am this morning unable to sleep. I came out to sleep on the couch when I realized I hadn't taken my sleeping pill...or my birth control pill...lol! Glad I caught that. So I'm sleeping peacefully on the couch with August (one of my kitties) on my lap,…

Goals: Exercise 3x

Glad to hear it, @CurvyCalorie ! And yes, HAPPY FRIDAY indeed! I'm on break for Christmas!!! Two weeks off...and I need it! Did some Chistmas wrapping today, watched The Grinch (Jim Carrey), and ended by watching The Mandolorian. Anyone else been watching that? It's really great!! One of my Star Wars faves! Exercise has…

Thanks for the check in, @human_bean . I've been doing alright. I just have two more days of work before two weeks off for Christmas break. I can't wait. I totally hear you about cat troubles. We have two kittens that wake me up every morning and it drives me bananas. I also cannot figure out how to keep my male kitten off…

Goals: Log food every day Run 3X

Still room if there's interest. We've had members fall by the wayside.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do think it's just a "get in the habit" issue. I find it a tedious task and wrongfully think I can just estimate in my head. Then if there are days that I know I'm going overboard, I really don't want to log. And boom, I'm out of the habit. I have my husband helping to keep me accountable this…

My goals: 1. Log food every day 2. Run 3x

Hey everyone. Golly, sorry I haven't been on much this week. I had a pretty rough week and spent most of my free time watching Dawson's Creek. I'm up a lb and a bit this week, so I really want to refocus and get back on track. I seem to have lost sight of who I am and who I want to be. My anxiety and depression seem to…

@kokeese and @TheMaknae , adding you!

@human_bean , when I used Noom (great app) it talked about plateaus, and I'm pretty sure it said to change nothing. Keep consistent with your exercise and keep consistent with you food logging, and things should change. I hit a plateau before and I eventually saw the weight drop again. They talk a lot on there too about…

My goals for the week. I'm even later than you @curvycalorie ! 1. Exercise 3x 2. Log food rest of week (sigh, why do I find this so difficult?) 3. Use SAD light every day
