Check-in Start 3/16/2020: 230.78 lbs (104.9 kgs) 12/21/2020: 148.94 lbs (67.7 kgs) 1/11/2021: 155.1 lbs (70.5 kgs) 1/18/2021: 1/25/2021: I've been struggling to get into a long term rhythm after Christmas and New Year. I didn't want to log a gain but I know I need a restart point. Last week I was up and down, some good…

@pamiede Your strength is inspirational! I believe you will improve your walking by Spring because of your daily discipline and the hard work you are putting into your recovery, your success in losing so much weight has given you the know-how to achieve anything you set your mind to! I'm cheering you on from far away xoxo

Gosh, it isn't easy to get back into daily discipline after the holidays!! It doesn't help when we still have biscuits in the house, I haven't had any so far but I'm resorting to drinking rooibos tea, which is a herbal tea to just take the edge off. Here's wishing you all a healthy weekend, good luck with good choices, and…

Oh this photo is part of my running loop, it's glorious!! It's very humid here, summer in full swing!!

@iloveeggnog I'm also not logging my weight currently. December ended up swinging between fasting, running, eating, celebrating, fasting running. Last night was our last evening of celebration. My Dad and his wife packed up their caravan and left early this am, its been a wonderful reunion after a really hard and emotional…

@speyerj Hi Jane, its good to read your post again, I valued your advice and encouragement last year. I'm also not a great goal setter, but last year I started my eating and exercise plan the week before our country went into a major lockdown and it also helped me focus and push through! @KeriA Thats such a great plan to…

Hello lovely ladies! Hope you had a good New Years! We were under lock and curfew, with prohibition in place, so a muted affair this side of the world! I love the 1st of January every year. A fresh new beginning. I'm hopeful and excited for the work ahead! Last year was topsy turvy, but because of my fear of Covid I was…

Hi Ladies, thank you so much for your kind words and support, they boost me xoxo. @MuttiNM Your poor family are dealing with so much x I hope your dad continues to improve, keep reminding your mom to rest, she is obviously soldiering on and forgetting to look after herself! From what I see with some of my friend's the…

Hi ladies, just read yr posts, sending out hugs to all of you dealing with the grind of life and coping with trying to exercise and lose weight plus this frenzy of Dec.. Plus it's been 2020!!! I've had a horrible week, a friend died of covid related complications she was only 48,and her youngest child is 5. I've been…

@KeriA wow wow, that's a lot of reading!! Great to hear your new job is going well and that you haven't picked up weight, I love how you plan meals etc Enjoy celebrating your hubbies birthday! Ps I'm busy reading the Ken Follett Trilogy Pillars of the Earth, I'm on the third book A Column of Fire, I love the way he writes,…

I'm so happy you are getting ready to leave rehab, I pray your body heals and get stronger by the day and that you can get back to the fitness level you were x

@MuttiNum Oh no, that's not good news for your family x I've recently been quite shocked at how quickly this virus spreads amongst us! Glad to hear your dad doesn't have symptoms especially in the lungs! Good luck with your isolation, I have 7 different friend's in isolation and this virus is twofold physical and mental…

@mamabearangie Wow great November!! I love fasting, it has worked well for me. You have the right attitude so go for it and be diligent in December! @Novella84 Welcome to this thread, I think focusing on your health and general well being is the way to go! @RavenStCloud Thanks for this new and last 2020 Thread, how…

Check in: 70.01 kg (-0.3) 154. 22(-0.66lbs) Im on the verge of weighing in the 60s, this will be a major milestone in my journey. I seem to lose well one week in the month and then stick on the scales for the next. Running is becoming part of a weekly pattern, it gives me absolute joy, and I'm still in disbelief that this…

@wanderinglight Good to have you back! This time of the year is exhausting!

@MuttiNM I'm so excited for you and cheering you on, going down to Overweight on the BMI scale is massive!! You are doing brilliantly under difficult circumstances. Those hikes must have been amazing! Good for your mom's Dr for being firm, your poor mom probably doesn't want to even know!! Keep strong over the next few…

@KMC55 great check-in, hard work paying off!! Going strong into December! @Tarzan37 :smile: Gus is so cute his face just says it all!! Not another picture! Holiday's alone aren't easy, but you have your meal planned you will want to just relax after working and chill!

Happy Thanks Giving in the USA! Hope you get to spend time with your loved ones and to the ladies alone sending you extra love and hugs xoxo

@mamabearangie That's funny to hear IF is a villain, I've been doing it daily since 16th March 2020, I eat 2 meals a day between 12pm and 8 pm, The fasting is really just a way of controlling when you eat, it helped me restrict the number of calories I was eating, I did a lot of research and it has so many health benefits.…

@KeriA Good luck with your meal planning and work this week! I think you are being wise about Thanksgiving and I'm sure your daughter and boyfriend will love the leftovers! Our city has spiked again, hospitals are inundated with icu cases, however our country cannot cope with another lock-down, so I'm wearing my mask out…

@MuttiNM I'm really sorry about what you and your family are going through, and the stress of waiting for results, and then going forward.. I'm glad you had a hike planned! @chupacabragumbo I'm so sorry your grandfather passed away, that's so sad! Hope your family are all leaning on each other for support. Good luck with…

I didn't realize how large I had become, to be honest, I avoided mirrors and photos! It took a new friend who was very frank this year and told me 'You really do need to lose weight' to shock me out of that comfort zone of not being present in my life! And then lock-down happened, which on one hand was a good thing for me.…

@orangequilt Yes, it's me! My friend sent me the pic on the left it was taken in winter 2018, and the one on the right I got my son to take on Friday. I think its important to remind ourselves how we are progressing in our journey so that we remain encouraged to continue, the last few weeks have been hard for me mentally,…

@pamiede OMW, drum roll on reaching your goal weight, that's amazing news, I've been looking up to you for so many months now and have loved following your journey. I hope your body heals completely and that you can work on your physical strength again, what happened to you is so scary x

@uyister Thanks you were right! I love your SMART goals x And well done on the drop last check-in

@Making_Impossible_Possible I've found the most important thing on a large scale weight loss plan is the number of calories you eat every day and also what kind of calories. I work on the 80/20 principle so 80% effort is the food and 20% exercise. The first few months I completely cut out takeaways and junk food as I find…

Check-in: (Back to Monday weigh-in) 11/11: 72.5 kg (159.5 lbs) 16/11: 71.6 kg (157.52 lbs) Start weight 16/03/20 104.9 kg (230.78 lbs) Total loss: 33.3 kg (73.26 lbs) Checked my BMI, I'm still overweight for my height... I need to loose 6 kg to get into normal range which is just over 13 lbs, I'm aiming for end January…

@Kmc55 Great loss so far! Keep going and end 2020 strong!

@KeriA hope yr radiator is sorted and u got to exercise today! I'm chilling and watching Masterchef Australia, I shouldn't be watching its making me hungry and I can't eat anymore kjs today! Aussies are brilliant at cooking and really have a passion for good food!
