Haha, same here. I refuse to put my apple watch on until I weigh!

I'm using a Pogo 32oz Water Bottle. I picked it up at target when it was on sale. It doesn't keep the water super cold, but I'm not super particular on that. I have 2 kids at home, so I totally get the juice thing! Hawaiian Punch is always a delicious treat for me.

I made a deal with myself that I need to drink a full bottle of water between other (less healthy) drinks. Coffee in the morning? Fine, but you have to drink at least 32oz of water before you get to have anything else.

Happy Hump Day!! Hope your week is going in the right direction!

@Vicky3725 I have found that adding a packet of hot chocolate (I use dark chocolate swiss miss) to my coffee in the morning has been curing my sweet tooth for the day! I have chocolate at my desk, but haven't touched it since I started doing this!

I have done some yoga to help. There's a ton of videos for it on YouTube. Just search Yoga for Sciatica. :smile:

I'm in! I started on 1/28 at 209.2 GW: 179.2 by June 1st UG: 175 (for now, once I get there, I'll work on the last 25) 2/7/17 - 205.6 (-3.6 or 12%) Feel free to add me, I can always use more motivation!

Good but busy weekend! Succeeded in getting my husband to help me meal plan out for two weeks and got the oldest to agree to a meal she's never tried before (it's a freaking miracle there). Slacked on super bowl Sunday but made up for it with a second workout today. Happy Monday!

Ready to rock this week! Happy I view my weeks as starting on Monday not Sunday!

Anyone else having problems with MFP double counting calorie burns if you track a walk through the workout app? I'm getting credit for the steps, plus the workout... :-1: Anyone know how to fix it? Plus my status says I burned twice as many calories and twice as much time in MFP.

I do! Be happy to connect both on here and through the activity app to motivate eachother. :smile: I'll send you a friend request on here!

I got the scale! I'm in the first week now and it seems pretty cool. There's a lot of interaction with my group so far and I find that really cool! A few of us have even friended each other on here. I hope they send the resistance bands once we get past the nutrition portion. So far I've gotten the scale and a tape measure…

I love your attitude! I think we could all use some of that positivity some days!

Feel free to add me - I've got about the same amount to lose and it's always easier with support. :smile:

mom of 1, step mom of 1, juggling two jobs. I know all about the struggle. Was on a decent start to the weight loss I wanted a couple years ago, but the healthy changes resulted in me getting pregnant. So much for losing weight! Back on the train and hoping to succeed this time around.

That's quite the accomplishment with that full of a plate! I've got about 35# to lose, and I think my plate is nearly as full. Full time work (with a 30 mile commute 1 way), 13month old daughter, 6 year old step daughter, hubby, dog, and a 2nd job teaching karate 3 days a week (and doing the bookkeeping for the school).…

My biggest challenge is the weekends (specifically Sundays - my only day off) and extra days off from my full time job during the week. Those days I find that I just don't get the active minutes I can when I'm at work (intentional walks during lunch) or when I'm teaching at the karate studio. I try to take the dog for a…

What diabetes prevention program did you use? I'm just starting one - I wonder if it's the same one?

I have a feeling that's how this week is going to be for me!

I'm game! (Check in on Tuesdays) SW: 215 CW: 208.2 (1/31) FG: 203.2 UG: 175 (for now) Total loss for Feb: 2/7 - 2/14 - 2/21 - 2/28 -

It can be discouraging! But you really need to decide why you are trying to lose the weight. Are you doing it for yourself? Because someone told you that you had to or should? Are you doing it for someone else? Once you figure that out, you can figure out some motivation. There are plenty of kind people on here willing to…

It definitely seems interesting. I'm not sure if I'm on board with the sending photos of the food, but we'll see. I'll definitely update as I go through the program. It starts this weekend!

This is the link to it: https://www.omadahealth.com/

It used to be called prevent? It's essentially a 16 week course that has you reading a "lesson" about nutrition & fitness in order to lose weight & reduce the risk of some diseases (type 2 diabetes for example). It's all online and each course has a group that you're supposed to interact with through the omada site. My…

I know for me the big thing was just keeping track of what I was eating. Not necessarily eating certain things (at least initially), the big thing was just keeping track of what I was eating. Then it was making small changes to what I was eating or how much I was eating. I was able to take 15lbs off without much effort,…
