Username: Lulu_jo Weigh in day: Friday SW: 277 (1/15/21) PW: 211 CW: 207🎉 Started really focusing on my water intake. I spend half my day in the bathroom🤦... But it's helping.

Username: Lulu_jo Weigh in day: Friday SW: 277 (1/15/21) PW: 214 CW: 211😳🎉 Finally!! After weeks of nothing, a big drop!

Oops! I'm a day late... Sorry! Username: Lulu_jo Weigh in day: Friday SW: 277 (1/15/21) PW: 214 CW: 214 Apparently this week wasn't better. I'm stuck🙄

Username: Lulu_jo Weigh in day: Friday SW: 277 (1/15/21) PW: 214 CW: 214🙄 Next week will be better

Username: Lulu_jo Weigh in day: Friday SW: 277 (1/15/21) PW: 216 CW: 214 Got my x-rays back. No fractures or dislocations, but degenerative disc disease (osteoarthritis). That I kinda expected. My mother and 2 of my sister's also have this. I hope they will still do the MRI and not just think this is the only problem. I've…

@TeresaW1020 @TwistedSassette I'm trying to be careful with my back. It has greatly improved with the weight loss, but there's definitely something wrong with it. All I can do at this point is not push too hard, but keep trying to lose more. Only 55lbs to go!! Today I woke up with different pain. Same spot, but on the left…

@trooworld It's dumb. I would think 12 PT visits and and x-ray cost more than an MRI🤷. I suppose it saves them money when people get better and don't need it, but it seems like a waste of time and money... At least in my case. My husband hurt his shoulder lifting and went to the ER to try and avoid what I'm going thru.…

Hi all! Checking in. So I mentioned with my Friday weigh in that my weight loss has slowed - most likely due to my laziness. I haven't lifted in 2 weeks. Physical therapy is doing a number on me and some days my back hurts so bad. PT has requested that I get an x-ray to rule out any compression fractures.... And if nothing…

Username: Lulu_jo Weigh in day: Friday SW: 277 (1/15/21) PW: 217 CW: 216 Was totally surprised to see a loss this morning after sitting at the same weight for 2 weeks straight. I hate how slow it's gotten... But it's my own fault, I've been a bit lazy. Time to get back to it and try harder.

@Katmary71 about a month... Still have another month to go. Still hurting today, but going to try and push thru my workout if I can. If not, I'll just try and get some walking in.

Ugh... Nothing like going to physical therapy to make you feel like crap. I go in with some pain, not horrible, and come out 1000x worse. My back is now killing me and I ended up doing nothing today. I have to go back Friday and Monday😭. I'd quit going, but I have to do it to get the MRI I so desperately need (pretty sure…

@Katmary71 I'm used to squatting with weight, so these small amounts are pretty easy... When the numbers get higher, I will struggle lol @TeresaW1020 That's the goal! 🎉

@TeresaW1020 Thank you! The squat challenge has you break it down to 3x a day... So 153 is only 51 each time lol.... Yep ... I tried to make it sound better, but it really doesn't😂 I'll try my best! So far I've been doing them all at once. I wonder how far I'll get before I have to break them up.

Hey all! Today I started a squat challenge with my sister (no weights, just squats). Day one is 15 squats, the last day is 153 squats😳. I've finally passed my halfway point and officially have lost more weight than I still have to lose. Yay! 60lbs down... 57 to go. With it being the 4th, and my anniversary, tomorrow (I…

@Katmary71 Luckily my bedroom has AC. The rest of the house is sitting at 89°.... At 730pm. It was 100° today, and the next 2 days are going to be very unpleasant at best🥵. If you don't hear from me again... It's because I melted.

Hey all! Sorry I've been pretty absent other than checking in on Fridays. Down 2lbs this week... And I'm now only 1 lb away from my halfway point 🎉 yay! (Technically 1/2 a pound... But who's counting right? ME! lol) My losses have slowed... Yes 8lbs for the month is great, but I sure miss those 15lbs a month losses. Oh…

Username: Lulu_jo Weigh in day: Friday SW: 277 (1/15/21) PW: 221 CW: 219 Question... Do I need to do something special to continue into next month? Or will I automatically get carried over?

@Katmary71 yes from my phone... I'll try later today to do as @trooworld suggested and do it via computer. Thank you both!

Just checking in... I started physical therapy for my back. And ugh... I hurt. Went to PT in the morning and then took a short walk/jog and did my lifting for the day, but no extras. Squatting was today's lift: 100lbs x 5, 115lbs x 5, 130lbs x 12. I'm feeling totally exhausted after not sleeping well last night... And here…

@TeresaW1020 Working out with him definitely pushes me! He just completed a new deadlift PR of 600lbs😳. I wish I had 1/2 of his drive! He is my biggest supporter❤️ and has cheered me on since day one. He told me yesterday that my stomach will be flat in 2 weeks... And I told him it was just the pants holding it in. He…

@Kinalau Thank you! May was a bit of a test for me... I've been doing lifting AND cardio Jan-April, but did very little cardio in May. I actually lost less in April than I did in May! With that said, when I lift, I'm doing enough to get my heart rate into the cardio zone. It also helps that my husband powerlifts and we…

Yesterday I did something I don't do. I got my walk in (yay!) And I jogged all my uphills. I don't jog. I don't run. I'm a walker lol. I jogged 12 hills on my walk... AND. IT. FELT. GOOD! 5 months ago I couldn't jog if I wanted to... But I said why not try and see if you can? And the fact that I could, made me try even…

May was pretty good to me. I lost 9lbs! I had been doing Stronglifts, but had to switch to 531 because I have a back injury (I've been waiting to start physical therapy, this week). The weight just got too heavy to continue. The 531 program is working better for me right now. I do one lift a day on the 531 program (5 days…

Hi all! June is my first month ever in F2F. My name is Mary. I'm 42, married with 3 kids. I started this journey in January at 277... Just trying to get to a healthier me. I usually only stick with it a few weeks before giving up, but I stuck with it this time and have made good progress. I joined the F2F challenge to keep…
