Highest weight: 204 lbs Current weight: 196 lbs Goal Nov weight: 192lbs I did a similar challenge in October this year and actually managed to lose 9 lbs, dropping from 198 to 189. I was so excited, and I had a week off from work, so I let myself have a cheat week. The cheat week turned into a cheat month and I’m back at…

I told my husband to be my accountability partner and maybe this will help…

@psuLemon super helpful, thanks!

First off, corona has sucked so I definitely understand! I think a ton of people are in the same boat as you. I’ve gained my rona weight too. And I think a good starting point is accepting that this has been a rough year, and that it’s natural that it led to physical changes, and you don’t need to beat yourself up for…

Thanks you guys. I agree with everything you are all saying, I guess I do feel a little extra sensitive right now cause I haven’t been able to lose lately, and was probably just looking for something to complain about. But I appreciate the feedback, and I’ll try to just be the best me I can be and not waste my time with…

10/13- 190.2 10/14- 189.6 10/15- 189.0 This was even after a date night last night! Also hit the gym a second time today! Short term goal weight: 182 I’m not sure why 182, it just seems like a good number to remove some of the extra puffiness I feel on a daily basis, get me out of the ‘obese’ BMI category, and make me feel…

Went to the gym for the first time in a couple of years today, plan on going again tomorrow, so figured I’d post on a community thread or two to hopefully mark my progress and stay motivated! 10/13- 190.2 10/14- 189.6

@ERB2018 I’m jumping in late too. We can do it though! Here’s to the start of a successful journey!

Jumping in here because I’m at my highest weight in a long time and need some accountability. I feel so much better when I’m treating my body better. Maybe this will help. Female, 23yo, 5’6. My goal weight for the end of this round since I started late is just for me to be down to 183. The only other goal I have this round…

I’m taking a hard pass for today! Spent all day hanging out and partying and having fun, so really didn’t keep up with anything! Starting back tomorrow.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? This was the easiest part of my day, actually. I woke up and went straight into a workout and felt good about myself afterwards. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, with a lot of difficulty. I was out and about and only had fast food available to me for the majority…

Congrats! How long have you been working at it?
