  • HW: 260 CW: 250 1GW: 229 So I've finally weighed in after putting it off for months. I did gain a lot of weight, but surprisingly not as much as I thought I did. I think the extra 20lbs just resettled in different places (grrr). My new job is getting me outside and walking all over the place, so that's great. I've beenโ€ฆ

  • @KeriA I'm so glad that your breast cancer was diagnosed and treated and that you're getting back to fighting form. I'm sure it was very scary and thank you for sharing. ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“ I also had a weird feeling like you did a few months ago. I got to the gym and felt fine and hopped into the pool and swam for less than 5 minutes andโ€ฆ
  • ๐Ÿ’œHey, ladies! Glad to see so many new and old faces on here. So I allowed myself to not make the best decisions regarding my health for the last couple of months because I've been stressed out and life seems to keep throwing me curve balls. But no more excuses. I'm trying really hard to bring some balance back in my lifeโ€ฆ

  • My mid-month weigh-in was today and I'm on track with a 3 pound loss (well 2.8, but I'm rounding up). I can only weigh myself twice a month or else I get obsessed, but knowing I have to wait two weeks makes me excited. I've only gone swimming twice this month, but I'm really going to try to push myself to make the time andโ€ฆ
  • @jazzadesigns I think that RXBars might be worth a try.They only have a few ingredients and they're very yummy. They can be a little pricey at regular stores, so I buy them at Costco and lately they've had a $4 off coupon there. Good luck on your search! ๐Ÿ’œ

And no one in my life really understands what I'm doing or going through because they're all skinny Minnie's or have good relationships with food.

  • I did my first weigh in this morning (only doing these twice a month), and I'm down 5lbs. I know some of that was probably water weight, etc, but it still feels good to see the numbers going down instead of up. It's given me a boost to keep up the exercise and the plant-based diet. In stupid news, I dropped a full 20ozโ€ฆ
