We can do this!!! I'm starting again.... again, had kind of a mental health spiral at the start of summer and gained unwanted lbs :^( trying to lose 25!

Hey, I'm starting over too :^) caught a glimpse of myself in the dressing room today and realized... I really really want to do this for myself. I feel you with the mental health stuff, it can be reallyyy hard to stay on track when you have that battle to get through first! Rooting for you Shonna :^D

Went over my calorie goal yesterday because my brother offered me a snack, haha.... and I didn't run long, but I forced myself on the eliptical which was a big part of my goal! Also took the stairs (5 flights) three times and went on a short walk. Ate waaaay too much sugar, though. Baby steps, I guess :P I've had a lot of…

CW: 132 Challenge Goal: 125 UGW: 115 I'll do my best! It's been hard for me to consistently maintain habits because of situational things and good ol mental health problems, but I'm trying hard to keep building better habits! I figure every little step in the right direction counts.

JFT January 6 ...was kind of a bust, haha, I got overly stressed and kinda ate my feelings. JFT January 7 Log everything I eat :) Stay in the green >:) (500 over!! dangit, Starbucks gift card...) Ran for 20 minutes :) Stairs and a short walk :) Fresh fruit and water instead of snacking on processed foods! :) Very mild…

Love this idea so much!! my overall goals are just to learn how to control my binge eating and get rid of the extra fat on my body- it doesn't really settle in a very flattering way at all, haha. But my main goal is to love myself and to love the process of getting healthier and more active every day! Now that I've started…

Wishing you lots of comfort and better times :-) it's alright to slip up, the only place you can start is where you are, so just keep going and don't look back. And when you slip up again, log it, and keep going, no sense in beating yourself up about it at all. Be kind to yourself and don't be afraid to reach out!

Reading and podcasts!!

CW: 131 GW: 125 11/09: 129 11/18: 11/30: Trying to keep it going! I was really, really good through late October and early November, but I got a really bad spell of anxiety and panic attacks this weekend, paired with plans to eat out and visit fun restaurants (curse you, fresh crepes....) so I'm pretty sure I've gained at…

Need to lose about 6 more pounds!! I'm innnn :D

I second this, too. There are many resources to help with depression, don't try and go through it alone!

Just remember to take it slow and be patient to yourself! Sending lots of love and support! I know how hard it is to keep going when things feel so low but you can do it <3

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that :( depression is really hard to go through, I've experienced it myself and have found that though it doesn't instantly make me feel amazing I feel a little better if I do end up making plans and committing to them, as well as getting a lot of sunshine and picking at least one small, good thing…

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this!! Was feeling kind of down about the journey tonight, I owe you one for the pick me up :,)

I feel it, you can totally do it though ^^ just start wherever you are- no matter how many times you have to.

Yes absolutely???! I literally budgeted my calories around the fact that I just... really freaking love coffee. I only get a 'fancy' (espresso drink) coffee once a week, and try to alternate between plain half and half or a splash of the stuff that's, you know, terrible for you but,,, so good. If anyone has creamer…

I have a bag of loose leaf peach tea and it's amazing- you don't even have to add honey to make it taste any better! I also love blueberry tea, coconut oolong, and vanilla black tea. Green tea (iced, with honey) always tastes really good after a run, too, and just kind of makes me feel really healthy, ha ha.

I bought one of those zoodlers (it sounds stupid but hear me out) where you cut your zucchini in half, and twist it through like a pencil sharpener and it comes out like noodles! You just cook them in a pan and serve just like you would any other noodle. Sauteed in garlic and lemon with fish is amazing, or you can serve it…

I wanna lose my first 8 pounds before my family's annual Christmas cookie baking day (with all the ladies in the extended family working together for a few days we make hundreds of cookies lol and I intend to eat some)! I'm about 3.5/8 down since I started (I'm a newbie) and I'm hoping to keep up the progress!

Everyone is looking sooo good!! You should all be crazy proud of yourselves.

Count me in! Starting weight- 132 BF- ??? First time joining a challenge here, so... here goes nothing!!

Ahh, thanks so much. :D That's super awesome- thank you for the encouragement!

You guys can do it!! (´･ᴗ･ ` )
