Hi everyone, it's been a couple of months since I checked in. Some of you may remember I took a hiatus due to health changes. Well that change is a pregnancy 🤰 I'm 12 weeks today and wanted to provide you with the update. Little one is healthy and growing as expected, with a due date of August 7th. 👶 I'm tired and nauseas…

@jugar I'm going to put my participation on pause until I can consult with a medical provider in the next few weeks. Nothing bad is happening, just some changes. As such I do not have a weigh-in right now. I'm still being mindful of what I'm eating and trying to get daily activity but I'm not sure weightloss is an…

@jugar CW 242.9 lbs @micki48 steps from last week: Sorry I've been a bit abssnt, it's been quite busy but I'll try to get back in the swing of things!

@jugar I'm not sure if we want to count my weight this week, (maybe TMI?) I'm very bloated due to hormonal reasons. On the plus side my body seems to be ovulating on its own WITHOUT MEDICATION for the first time since I was a teenager! As such I really don't mind the gain this week. PW 242.4 CW 244.0 @SMcFall0215 you are…

@micki48 here are my steps from last week. I also had moderate level strength training on the following days Wednesday 11/11: 45 minutes, core Friday 11/13: 30 minutes, arms/core Saturday 11/14: 20 minutes, legs I had intentional exercise 5 days last week and it felt great. Such good stress relief! I also logged all my…

I have a touch of insomnia so I thought now would be a good time to catch up! @Gidgitgoescrazy congrats on the NSV! I had actually just noticed recently that mine moved in the right direction too! The circle now borders the poor/fair zone whereas it used to be very much in the poor zone. Exciting changes! @jugar I'm happy…

Question for the group - have any of you tried acupuncture? I've read it can be helpful for weight loss, stress reduction, and hormonal balance, which are all things I need. If you've had it, what was your experience? I've been debating for months whether I should try it and I'm getting closer to making an appointment.

@jugar PW 242.6 lbs CW 242.4 lbs LTD 26.6 lbs @micki48 my steps from last week: I also had 35 minutes of moderate strength training on Saturday 11/7. Last week I decided to take it easy and not stress about exercise as I had enough other stress to worry about. I'm doing better this week though! Mostly staying in calorie…

The last couple of weeks have been emotionally challenging for many of us, myself included. I've added you and your son to my prayers @CanadianGiraffe and hope he heals soon! I haven't been to the gym yet this week, my sleep had been disturbed until yesterday and when I don't sleep well I have such little motivation for…

@MandiSaysHey enjoy your week off! I'm sure it is well deserved 😊 I partially met one of my self-care goals yesterday, I talked with my boss and she's helping me catch up. It's not a long term solution but I'll take whatever help I can. I did not meet my calorie or exercise goal for yesterday. I had good intentions of…

PW 243.3 lbs CW 242.6 lbs LTD 26.4 lbs Yesterday was a very cold and snowy day, I spent much of it being cozy with my puppy. Today I made venison stew for dinner and it's so yummy, nutritious, and comforting. Tomorrow may be a workout at-home kinda day after work because it's election day here in the US and they will…

@micki48 I would like to continue in the step challenge with a goal of 5000 per day. Steps from last week: 10/25: 5044 10/26: 5292 + 15 minutes moderate strength training, arms 10/27: 5500 + 20 minutes moderate strength training, core 10/28: 5700 + 30 minutes moderate strength training, legs 10/29: 3425 10/30: 2187 10/31:…

Hi everyone I'm Jackie and I've been a member of this team since May? 2020. I live with my husband of 8 years, our cat Fiona, and puppy Lola in Michigan, USA. I work as a therapist for mental health and addictions treatment. My main reason for wanting to lose weight is to be healthier and have a baby. We've been trying for…

Welcome to all the newcomers! This group offers fabulous support 😁 I went to work for a few hours Monday to catch up (I usually have Mondays off) and now I'm very disoriented as to what day it is lol. I made it to the gym 3 of the last 4 days, I might go today too if I don't work too late. Tried out a couple of new things…

PW 243.0 lbs CW 243.3 lbs Off to work, I'll try to check in later!

Hi everyone, I apologize for my lack of participation the last few days. I ended up with a migraine and looking at the screen was painful. So far this morning I feel better thankfully. My steps for the first half of this week will not be too impressive. When I don't feel well I don't force it. Today I work 12 hours so…

PW 243 lbs CW 243 lbs LTD 26 lbs I weighed myself throughout the week to see the fluctuations, the lowest I got was 242.1, but the average stayed right around 243. I had a decent loss last week so I'm not too surprised to have maintained this week. I went to the gym 3x, and took the pup for 2 walks, so that's quite a bit…

@micki48 Steps for last week: 10/11: 1,900 10/12: 8,306* +15 minutes moderate strength training/arms & core 10/13: 5,399* 10/14: 6,413* +15 minutes moderate strength training/legs 10/15: 2,774 10/16: 6,785* +15 minutes moderate strength training/arms & upper body 10/17: 9,111*

@YinxFed the running club sounds awesome. I like your method of using music to break up your walking/running. I tend to do that on the elliptical and music can be so motivating 😊 @Terytha I may have to check out that band, sometimes silly/filthy/fun music is just what is needed. My favorite bands like that are Bloodhound…

Cravings are a beast! I had a very similar situation a few days ago with Oreo cookies, we NEVER have them in our house but the hubs saw a new flavor he wanted to try. Well I tried some too. And then had another.... But not any more since! Avoidance is my #1 strategy but when I don't have that option I use self-talk,…

Just a quick check-in, yesterday went well, stayed in the green and walked little miss Lola around the yard until I hit my step goal. Our work audit is now officially over and I'm already getting caught up on my pile of paperwork and just feeling lighter all around. Last night I wanted something sweet so I had a 92% cocoa…

@jugar I'm happy to report I'll be adding to the green for this week 😁 PW: 244.8 lbs CW: 243.0 lbs LTD: 26 lbs I'll admit I was a bit jealous of everyone's Thanksgiving dinners (we have another month to go here in the states) so I made chicken with stuffing and gravy for dinner. The stuffing had cauliflower, carrots, and…

@micki48 my steps for last week: 10/4 2,396 10/5 10,406 * 10/6 3,771 10/7 6,418 * 10/8 3,408 10/9 5,242 * 10/10 5,162 * Depending on this ankle I may not do great with steps the first few days of this week 😞 I am able to walk on it though so hoping I can still hit my goal more days than not.

@eggfreak yes I will be using jars. Canning is a lot of work but I feel so satisfied after so I keep doing it! And I don't have much freezer space so this works better for me. At least with apples I use the regular water bath which is a lot easier than using the pressure canner! @Terytha my sister ended up with gallstones…

Hi team, looks like there's lots of great progress this week! I've been doing pretty good with logging and staying within my calorie goal. I have not logged today's yet but I will! A friend and I visited our local farmer's market and stocked up on lots of yummy produce. I have a bunch of wild apples + apples from the…

@Terytha I love the idea of an indoor herb garden! In my experience dill is super easy to grow from seed and there's a reason it's called dill weed lol at least when grown outside it tends to spread everywhere! I'm planning to bring my rosemary in this winter as it won't survive outside in our Michigan winters. I'm told…

@Kali225 lol I also struggle with portion control on ice cream 🙈😆 I've since replaced my pints with Halo Top so if I get the ice cream craving I can have a much lighter version. It is a treat sometimes though to have a date with Ben & Jerry! @conleywoods Kudos for keeping on! The weightloss marathon can certainly be…

@micki48 I would like to continue on the step team with a daily goal of 5000. Here are last week's steps: 9/27: 1899 9/28: 5701⭐ 9/29: 5065⭐ 9/30: 5314⭐ 10/1: 3706 10/2: 3197 10/3: 8825⭐
