@CupcakeCrusoe Don't think it was me about the trash can! @pamperedlinny You ladies look adorable! And I definitely remember when lunch was crazy early. It's funny that you never question it when you're a kid. @Sissylynn1979 Welcome! We're glad to have you back. So, trying to get two workouts in this weekend. My strength…

Had to go on an impromptu road trip where I was away for most of the day and it wasn't convenient to pack more than a snack--had to get breakfast and lunch out. But I planned where and what I'd be eating the night before and it turned out I came in right at my calorie goal! The last time I had to do this, it was a mess of…

@swimmom_1 Hey. I haven't made one yet, but I will when I get home tonight.

Got some super irritating news today and I was full of pissed off energy, so I took myself to the gym! This was the first day that I exercised by myself and I think I did really well. I came home and made air-fryer salmon, which I've never done before, but it turned out great. And then made 2 weeks of protein shakes and…

Had a great day meeting with my new gym's fitness instructor. She took me through a full workout and answered a lot of my questions about different machines and exercises. I got a list of the different things we did (plus weights/reps), so now I'm a lot more comfortable doing things all on my own. I'm super excited to…

So I'm doing better this week! My gym opened up an all women's gym about fifteen minutes from me, and my membership covers both places! Working out with only women is much easier for me mentally, so I went to their Opening Day to check them out and signed up to meet with their Fitness Coordinator. We met for an initial…

I know what…

@mling84 Self-compassion is such an under-rated thing, but so important. I'm also going to try to remember to be as compassionate to myself as I would be to my friends this month. @bonniemcc4 I'm also going to try for short walks this month and see how my bad knee does! @pamperedlinny I'm so glad you can share your journey…

Nov 1st: 260 Dec 1st: 250 Jan 1st: 243 Feb 1st: 238 Feb 14th: 243 I've FINALLY been cleared to go back to swimming and I made it to the pool for the first time in almost a month! Woo!!!

Hello, hello. Well, I was hoping to go back into the pool this week, but I just got back from the doctor who said to wait a week. The good news is, he's taken me off the steriod I was on. It made me SOOOOOO hungry, I couldn't handle it and just ate everything in sight. This week, I'm going to try to get my cravings back on…

So I've been MIA this week and didn't check in on Monday either. I've been having terrible chest and back pain for the last two weeks that started right after singing (nothing fancy, just singing along to spotify in the car). I went to the doctor and she said I've probably injured my vocal chords and need to see an ENT.…

This sounds great! I'm gonna look for it. I want to start using my popcorn maker again now that the weather's cold and I can snuggle up with a warm snack.

@Angief05 I weigh-in here once a week, but it's completely up to you. Some people do it once a week or even more frequently, some just at the end of the month, and some never do and just post their goals and accomplishments. Whatever works for you, works for us!

So when I weigh myself at home on Mondays, it's always in the morning, before breakfast, and with no clothes on. You know, like a normal person. However, sometimes I check my weight at the gym which has one of the old fashioned scales, where you move the top and bottom counters. And it's always midday after 1 to 2 meals,…

Welcome to @MIssnewme9211, @messycreator, and @breakingxground! We're glad to have you! This group can get a little quiet in December, especially towards the end of the month, but things should be picking up next week! I'll be posting a link to the new January group on Saturday, so definitely follow us over there.

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday. Yesterday, I logged nothing and ate everything. And I definitely paid for it. When I went to bed, my stomach was NOT happy. But all in all, I'm fine with it. My goal is still to try to hit the gym 3 or 4 times this week. And to stay away from all the treats still lingering in my house!
