Daily Post (Wednesday) Goals: Really stressed out about the amount of things I need to get done today. Found my chill and just got on with things, but I do need to be mindful of my stress levels. I tend to drop the ball if I stress out. Track: Yes. Calories: Yes. Exercise: Yes. Water Intake: Yes. @IanMoone30 Sounds like…

Warning, general dieting ramble ahead.. I had some interesting revelations about my micro nutrients last night. Since increasing my muscle load and tone last month, I've been experiencing potentially bad cramping in my left bicep while doing a weights workout. There are so many reasons why that might be, including…

Quick pic of the only non wild animal in my world at the moment. She belongs to my housemate but we are best friends. This is her curled up on my bed beside me. One of the reasons I'm building my bush getaway spot is I really want to get a pair of border collies one day. I love cats but have vowed not to get another as the…

@gemwolf110 Awesome dogs! I can see why you would want to take such good care of them. Daily Post (Tuesday) Goals: Having some persistent wet weather here which has put a dent in my planned goal progress, but there is always plenty to do so I'm just adapting the plan as I go for now. Track: Yes. Calories: Yes. Exercise:…

@jennfalzon1979 lmao at the cake. I think a crazy mother in law is part of the spice of life. my ex MIL was a recluse who checked out of society to live with her peacock. @gemwolf110 When you can eat the dog's leftovers you know your dogs are eating well. :) Any chance of a pic of the huskys? Question of the week: Offshore…

Daily Post (Monday) Goals: As I'm sure some of you know, Down under, instead of pickup trucks, we drive utes. It's like the front half of a sedan with a pickup bed or tray on the back. A little while back I bought a {very} cheap slide on camper to use with my ute. My goal today was to make new legs for the camper to make…

Daily Post (Sunday) Drat I forgot to change yesterdays post to Sat.. lol. Goals: Well Sunday is supposed to be my rest day, but after a forced rest week I wasn't having it. Aside from the fact that I couldn't stand sitting around doing nothing all day, I have so much to do. Really happy with overall level of productivity…

Daily Post (Friday) Goals: Pat a big horse and not get sunburned... Track: Yes. Calories: Yes. Exercise: Yes. Not a big cardio day, but a solid 10k steps Water Intake: Yes drank lots. Still thirsty tho, so possibly a little heat effected. Having a top up anyway. Weigh in: Username: Fyreside Weigh in week: Week 1 Weigh in…

@jennfalzon1979 So cool to see someone closing in on their goals. FWIW, I think you've been one of this teams strongest contributors and definitely an inspiration in the get up and do something dept. I have this theory that the people who put the most into the team are the ones who get the most out of it too. @ka97 I have…

Oh I get it completely. At first scheduling things seems like a drag. Like it might be more work.. But the crazy twist is it's less work in the end. It's just easier to go step A.B...C than day after day find the resolve to make good decisions. Then your body starts to get used to the pattern and before you know it,…

Hi team, back in town again. @River_Goddess Oooh, that is a sweet view. I'm also up in some remote mountains, but not near an edge :) Currently winning an argument with some blackberry. (The nasty kind) and working on building a treehouse cabin in my little forest lot. @keri8680 Hopefully your body has become fully keto…

Hi team, I'm Bryce from East coast Australia. I joined the Slimsons last October at 307lb and I'm now 250lb My goal is to get under 200 just as soon as I reasonably can. I do disappear into the bush, out of internet coverage from time to time but I will be chatty whenever I'm around :smile: I had a maintenance month in…

Username: Fyreside Weigh in week: April Week 4 Weigh in day: Saturday Previous Week's Weight: 247.5 Current Weight: 250.2 Considering I've not been able to do any exercise for a week I'm really glad I didn't slide any further. I'm calling my maintenance month a success over all, even though I couldn't say everything went…

Hi all, sorry I've not been much of a cheer squad. I've been battling an injury which has kept me completely out of the game. TBH, I've been a little scared that it might further impact my ability to continue my journey. But I'm hopeful that things have stabilized for now so I can get back to working on my weight loss…

A couple of interesting things happened this trip, one of which I'd like to share. Not sure if the other one is suitable, although it is weight loss related.. lol. I get down to my little hideaway in the bush with barely 40 minutes till sunset. The spot I'm at is overgrown (again) So I hastily deploy my trusty 44 year old…

@gjaholy33 Great to see your enthusiasm returning Gloria. Show those sundaes whose boss. :)

Hi team, back from the bush again. Love all the quotes people posted. @rlaratte Grats on hitting the 180's man, great work. @Keri8680 & @tinak33 Hope you both feel better soon, nothing worse than feeling under the weather and having to push through. @CourtneyLomonaco Can't change yesterday. Just take your weigh and use…

That one is still my go to quote at the moment. But my other long time favorite is widely regarded as an old Chinese proverb and worded several different ways in popular use. "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. Or today."

Before I got the trending program I was definitely going nuts over the fluctuations. I sure do wish I could get down to a 2XL belly. I'm firmly in the 4XL range and it really cuts down on options with jackets and such. Things like my moto jackets etc, Super reluctant to spend big money buying big jackets. I have been…

So sorry to hear of your loss Gloria. Take care.

Great to see people doing well and making some strong progress. @jennfalzon1979 Ever since getting a weight trend tracker, I've been happy to weigh as often as I like. I'm using Libra on my android phone, but there are several good ones to choose from. When you can see your overall downward trend, all the little ups and…

Ouchies, that's a tough way to do it.. But you can't argue with results. :/

Username: Fyreside Week: April Week 1 PW = 251.3 CW= 252.2 Well that week flew by. Weight looks a little up, but I doubt its anything more than water as I'm working hard on maintaining high levels of hydration.

Firstly, I just want to say it sounds like you are doing all the right things and good on you for throwing yourself at it. I'd hate to give you bad advice or suggest something you're already doing so I sent a friend invite so I can look at your food diary first. Edit: It looks like you might need to turn on diary sharing.…

@143tobe That's the spirit. Just bounce back and surge onwards. Kinda cool to hear about the teamwork too. @AB0215 Neat keychain, I never thought about rings and lifting, but that knurling on the bar would do terrible things.

Hi all, I've got this weird thing going on where I think about and plan to post here every day.. But days go by and I don't. Motivation is such a fickle beast and everytime I think I've got a handle on it, it proves me wrong. Anyway, my report is that my weight has stabilized, even down a little from last weigh in. I'm…

Hey team, looks like some good numbers people are getting. @jennfalzon1979 Grats on tipping off your plateau. @AB0215 Hope you have a strong and rapid recovery. I've been hitting my weights pretty hard. Really feeling my upper body and abs tonight. Will focus on legs tomorrow and give the upper a rest day. I've put on…

Daily Post (Saturday) Day/Goals:Yard work in beautiful weather.. Calories: Yes. Exercise: Yes. Water Intake: Yes. Username: Fyreside Week: April Week 1 PW = 248.6 CW=251.3 Ok so the gain is dissapointing sure.. But I have a bigger problem which is my resolve. I've been pushing myself for the last 6 months and at the end of…

Hey Big congrats!! What an awesome milestone.

You know, there's nothing really bad about the occasional choc treat, as long as it's in your calorie budget and not just an extra treat on top. A milk choc bar is made from Cocoa solids, Milk solids and sugar. I usually do what AB0215 does and leave out the milk and sugar in favor of enjoying the cocoa solids on their…
