I have been looking into that too because I know I will get a lot of it by the time I am at my goal weight. Basically you can llimit the damage by drinking a lot of water and moisturizing well to keep the skin as elastic as possible. Also weight training will build some muscle which will "fill up" some of the empty space.…

Monday check-in I did it. I gave my boss my notice last week and will stop working at the end of the month. I booked my plane ticket for the 7th and I am so excited to spend a couple of months with my family. The challenge will be to not go overboard with the food (oh the cheese, I miss it so much) especially since I…

@skinnyjeanzbound I try to keep my mind onto something. I play some video games but today it is not enough. I would usually go for a walk bt since I am still trying to rest my foot as much as possible that is out. I do some weight but it only lasts so long and then I get back to eating. It is past midnight here. Anxiety =…

Thursday Truth: I am dreading Monday and the next 2 weeks in general. I will have to have to "I quit" talk and I have a feeling it is not going to go well. I am one that avoids confrontation at all cost. I am feeling more and more anxious and my eating is starting to reflect that. I am also in a "down" mood. I had…

Hi everyone! Today is the last day of our current challenge. I probably won't have time to do the final update until Monday so if you want to enter a final weigh-in before sunday night, please feel free! (I suggest to do it this mornig before the crazy BBQ food of our long weekend/Canada Day/July 4th coming up :D ) In the…

@RunningOnWontons Thanks for your support. I am the kind of person who tries to make thigs as easy and convenient for others, most of the time to my own detriment. In this case, I have worked most holidays and went to work with bronchitis, twice and worked with a surgical mask as to not contaminate my client. But you know…

READY FOR SUMMER CHALLENGE WEEKLY UPDATE This week saw 20 entries, 17 losses and 3 "gains" (2 out of those being almost stalls) for a total weekly loss of 34lbs even. We have now lost 283lbs as a group :o One more week to go! Make it count people!

@MermaidPrincessRach The choice is up to you. But no matter what don't be embarrassed. Weight loss is hard and no one is judging you because I am pretty sure we have all been there at one point in our lives. Just hold on and try to remember why you started this and why you want it. You can do it, Rachel! <3

You can join if you want but this challenge ends in less than 2 weeks so I dont know if you will find a lot of benefits for it.

Monday check-in This weekend has been so so for me. Went slightly over my calories saturday and binged on pizza sunday. It has been so hot in my appartment I didnt want to turn the stove on. Plus the last couple of weekends I have been staying in so I wouldnt walk as I want to rest my foot as much as possible. Well it is…

READY FOR SUMMER CHALLENGE WEEKLY UPDATE We had 24 participants weighing in this week. 19 reported a loss and 5 a gain for a weekly combined loss of 36.2lbs. After 8 weeks our group has lost 249.4 lbs! Wouldnt it be amazing to reach 300 by the time we are done?

@skinnyjeanzbound I love the picture. It made my day. I love cats!

I kinda am too. My situation is slightly different. I am single but thinking of going through IUI/IVF sometimes in the next 2-3 years so I would really love to loose as much weight as possible before. I have PCOS so that would definitely increase my chances and I want to have a healthy pregnancy and be able to run after my…

Rachel, have you been diagnosed with depression? Are you taking medication or getting any help from therapist/doctor? If not maybe it would be a good place to start. Loosing weight is hard by itself but the struggle is even harder when you have to battle your own mind just to get up every morning. I was depressed for a…

@bapcarrier I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my cat a few years ago and I still miss him. I want to adopt another one but it is not possible yet due to my schedule. @Nikion901 You are welcome. It has been fun and really interesting to see the pattern. Also very enlightening to notice that a lot of people go through the…

Monday check-in: It's back to work for me. Not happy about it. First I forgot the notebook where I keep the challenge data so I wont be able to do the update today. Second I got to work to see that my boss has installed an additional security camera in the kitchen, the only place where I could relax durig my breaks. I get…
