Good afternoon everybody! I’m spending today trying to soak in the last few moments of vacation. This teacher goes back to the grind tomorrow. Fortunately, there’s light at the end of the tunnel, as the end of the semester is only 3 weeks away! My weight has gone up and down so many times over these last few months - it’s…

Good morning everybody. Long post alert! I missed last week’s weigh-in: honestly because I was disappointed in myself, and couldn’t bring myself to post numbers. I hate fluctuation, and I feel like that’s all I do. I did have some NSVs that I would like to focus on, but in the back of my mind there’s always the nagging…

This is exciting! Congrats everybody!

Red1185 PW: 164.2 CW: 161.2 LTD: 18.4 lbs This week went surprisingly well. Idk if it’s because I think getting back into drinking a ton of water and making sure I got my steps in (most days) did the trick. I participated in this week’s challenge of setting a numbers goal, and I chose 64 oz of water a day, which is 2 of my…

I’m so sorry for your loss!! Sending virtual hugs to you and your family!

I didn’t meet my steps today, but I met it yesterday. I am also on day 2 of meeting my water intake goal. I’ll make up the steps tomorrow.

Hate to see you go, but wishing you all the best!!

Questions 1 and 2. Hi everybody! I’m Rachel. I’m 36. I’m a science teacher, and I’ve been trying lose weight most of my life. I reached a nice comfortable goal weight several years ago, but then my anxiety took over, had to get on medication, and gained 37 lbs in a year. While that’s no excuse, I’ve now changed meds,…

Red1185 PW: 164.2 CW: 162.2 (this was from earlier this week) I’m honestly not putting a lot of stock in that number because I’ve seen it fluctuate too many times. I don’t want to say I’m getting discouraged, but I am frustrated. I do still track my NSVs. As I’ve said so many times, overall, I am less than where I started…

Username: red1185 PW: 165.6 CW: 164.2 I really appreciate all the support. You all are awesome. I do need to be better about checking in because you all are very inspiring! I’m trying to keep my NSVs in mind - it is getting harder though, because I feel like I’m going in reverse. It’s so frustrating. It’s even more…

Username: red1185 PW: 163.6 CW: 165.6 I’m going to skip this week’s steps. I do not think I’m in a good spot at all. I think I’ve gone completely off the rails the last few months. I was doing so well, and then school started back. My stress levels have gone up, and my diet has plummeted. I have to get back on track. This…

Sorry I’m late! PW: 163.2 CW: 163.2 Not a loss, but not a gain. I’ll take it! Steps: 9/25: 2,466 9/26: 2,384 9/27: 4,893 9/28: 7,093 9/29: 6,681 9/30: 9,448 10/1: 6,954 10/2: 10,684 10/3: 1,566

I feel like I’ve kind of fallen off the wagon. Idk…I feel kind of bad. I’ve been watching watching I eat, but I don’t feel like it’s enough. I realized today I haven’t been going on my daily walks at work - BUT then I just realized it’s because for the last 2 weeks at work I’ve been running around like a chicken with my…

Good evening everybody! Sorry I’ve been super MIA here recently. Between work and life, I’ve been incredibly busy. School started back up, and I’ve been busier than ever. I’ve had some major professional ups AND downs. Fortunately, my weight has…at least, overall, remained steady or dropped, even if only slightly. I’m…

Username: red1185 PW: 162.2 CW: 161.8 Slowly but surely coming down. I’m trying not to be too hard on myself. Progress is progress. I cannot believe we are already heading into a second month of school. I’m exhausted. Lots of grading planned for tomorrow. Steps for this week: 8/21: 10,945 8/22: 3,504 8/23: 7,924 8/24:…

@lindamtuck2018 and @Beautyofdreams thanks for the support! I’m trying my hardest to stay safe: lots of vitamins, rest, fruits/veggies, masks galore… I’m sorry to hear that about your sister’s school. I know that must be so frustrating and scary that they can’t even have safety protocols in place. I hope she stays safe as…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Steps for 8/8: 1,564

Hi everybody. What a whirlwind of a week. We started school back in-person this past Monday. It wasn’t too bad for the most of the week. Thursday was an absolutely atrocious and scarring day, but I’m trying my hardest to move past it because in the end everything turned out fairly ok. @Megan_smartiepants1970 and…

This week has been a rollercoaster for my weight. I did a midweek check-in, and it was up to 167. Fortunately it’s gone back down, but I am still frustrated that my weight is back in the 160s at all. I’m trying to keep my eyes on the NSVs - - Overall my weight is still down from my original start weight. - I have been…

I’m sorry I’m late! PW: 163.6 CW: 163.8

Red1185 Pw: 161.8 Cw: 163.6 I’m so frustrated to see my weight going up instead of down. I think 2 weeks ago I was in the 150s, and now I’m back up. I’m really hoping that it’s salt/H20 retention. Fortunately I’m back at work, so I’m in an air conditioned building and having to move around to get my steps in. The biggest…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 here are my steps for the last few days. 7/24: 2,433 7/25: 1,780 7/26: 6,840
