Check-in: 11/11: 72.5 kg (159.5 lbs) Start weight 16/03/20 104.9 kg (230.78 lbs) Total loss: 32.4 kg (71.28 lbs) Today is a small victory day, the scale finally moved down and I'm into the 150s!! It's my first day of month 9! I've lost a huge chunk of weight but gained back my health and confidence! Ladies this journey we…

@JoDavo66 Don't be too disappointed! Keep logging and being precise with your food. I've been intermittent fasting and calorie counting for 8 months I've stayed under 1400 calories a day, and the weight will come off if you stick to your plan. in the beginning I was very strict but the past month because of being allowed…

@KMC55 Yes doing that now, trusting the process...Tomorrow will be day 1 of month 9! I do believe I've changed my relationship with food, I'm exercising daily which is definitely a new and exciting part of my life. I still have about 33 lbs to go, so it's important for me to follow through completely my goal is to get…

@iloveeggnog Whooo hoo, that's fantastic news about 180s!! You can reach your goal by Christmas! I have been thinking about couch 2 10k but for now, running 3 or 4 times a week, my son is helping me with strength training for core, sit-ups, planking, and push-ups. Yip, I'm holding on for the whoosh it has to come I'm…

Oh and to all you lovely American ladies my son and I have been following your elections, we are fascinated! Most South African's are happy but surprised with results, hope the next four years are fruitful ones for you, because it has a ripple effect on the rest of the world! And we could all do with good things happening…

Hi ladies,I've been reading your posts but haven't updated for two weeks. Last week I stepped on the scale and had put on a few pounds, I sank into a hole and tried to dig myself out, was great all week but the scale stayed the same, on Saturday and Sunday I had two social events, and although I did limit myself on both…

@pamiede How dreadful! Glad you are on the road to recovery and have the support of friends and family xoxo Welcome back x

@takera16 Anxiety is really awful it robs us of all good things. A friend of mine who has had life coaching was taught a tip on recalibrating her brain when she was anxious she was conscious of the anxiety and she had a mantra she would recite immediately and it calmed her down, she said after a few times it helped. We…

@iloveeggnog Your post just put a smile on my face, your ripple has had an effect in South Africa! I've been feeling low today, and you perked me up! Going to download a playlist for my last week 8 run now! (For the early am run) @KMC55 My why is now because I feel so much better about myself, I know that discipline and…

@torih941 Sending hugs and love your way! There's nothing worse than feeling overwhelmed and anxious! The next meal will be the one that gets you back 'on the wagon' and all the little decisions you are making now will help you move forward. Self-sabotage is what I am used to, so I understand how you are feeling, however…

@iloveeggnog Sorry, your knee is sore! Hope it heals quickly! And what a nsv to fit into the medium size jacket!! I think it takes a while for our brains to adjust to significant weight loss! I love meeting ladies in the same boat...but different pond!! So grateful to have you cheering me on from Canada, thank you!!

@alisampm You can definitely achieve your goal! Just take it one day at a time, log everything and keep checking in here! Goodluck!

I'm happy with a loss. I'm cutting my coffee intake…

@iloveeggnog I really get what you are saying about the outside validation! I yearned for it in the beginning and then it took so long for anyone to say something! (Which irritated me) Now I feel like everyone is watching me constantly...always asking about my weight, its pressure! So I'm brushing off the compliments, and…

@iloveeggnog Thank you so much for your encouragement! Love having you ladies on my side. I think its lovely having your Thanksgiving spread apart from Christmas! We have holidays but nothing as significant as Thanksgiving! Christmas and Easter are our big ones.

@KeriA I love your wholistic approach to losing weight, cleaning house, excercise etc! I completely agree with the way you are approaching weightloss, its about de-cluttering your life, a new clean, healthier beginning!

@remedieigotcha I bet your Vegas trip was sooo much fun, and what a victory to wear sleeveless! Great loss for the week

This is me, just finished my 20 min run, sunrise, feeling on top of the world!

@iloveeggnog Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving! Is Canadian Thanksgiving similar to the US one? I was in New York for Thanksgiving once, it was very special. I loved trying out the pumpkin pie etc. Well, I did the 20 min run this am, got up at 5 am. I did it and I actually enjoyed it, in the end, I jumped for joy that's…

Hello lovely ladies! Monday here! I did my 2 x 8min runs, done and dusted. Next is a full 20 min run, that's a big milestone, I'm so excited, I know I can do it! We had our Chinese meal birthday celebration, honestly, the food was quite greasy and not as wonderful as I remembered! @AlexandraFindsHerself1971 Goodluck for…

Today…

@RavenStCloud I love yr mantra 'Just because you can, doesn't mean you should' speaks volumes about our journey! It's all about daily discipline over time! @MuttiNM what a win for you to reach below 200! Well done! Having the coping mechanisms in place to handle your depression is definitely what will get you through your…

@illoveeggnog Well done for saying No to the donuts! And wow you have lost a lot of pounds! That's great that you have plans to get through your Thanksgiving weekend without blowing it! But this is life for us, we will have to figure out how to negotiate all these celebrations with food etc and not use them as an excuse to…

I had a good loss on Friday but wobbled over the weekend and we took my Dad out to a local pizza joint, and honestly, I battled to find a healthy choice, had a…

I'm excited to tell you all about the start of my week 4 couch25k run, I did it with relative ease, I decided to choose a route that is level with no inclines! So maybe that's why I could power through? I walked 5min, ran 3min, walk 90sec, run 3min, walk 90 sec, run 5min and end with a cool-down walk, felt fantastic, tried…

@xofarrah Happy Birthday, and good loss! @alici0116 Good to hear your husband is recovering so well! And you are exercising, Yes lets go, October! @ AlexandraFindsHerself1971 I hope you start feeling better, I find some months really difficult and others absolutely fine! Thanks for your words about my Dad, I spent the…

Hi, thanks for all your kind words, was able to make contact with my Dad, he is slowly making his way towards us and should arrive by end of day. Not sure how we are going to really speak to him, quite difficult as we don't want the grandkids to know any of the drama, and they are so excited to see him. @speyerj thank you…
