Hello! I used to be in this forum all the time and then life happened. I'm hoping joining back and getting support will help me be successful. Fingers crossed. I'm tired of starting over. My current struggle is finding the motivation to exercise. I'm hoping to make that a goal this month. I'm also considering starting 75…

NSV: I was able to keep up in my resistance class last night! I was worried it was going to be too hard or I was going to have to modify everything, but I was able to do all the workouts the way they were. I felt so proud of myself. I can't wait to continue seeing progress! Great losses and steps this week, everyone. I…

@Megan_smartiepants1970, sorry you're not feeling well! Rest up and recharge. @NachDeezy, congrats on the loss! That's fantastic! @lindamtuck2018, what a wonderful NSV! A great way to see our progress reflected. Congrats! @aneedlecraft, nice loss! @Slimmersixties, great loss! Any loss is progress. Enjoy your trip. That…

November Goals 1. Kickboxing or Resistance Training 3x a week 2. Cooking my HelloFresh 3x a week and maintaining leftovers 3. Continuing journaling 4. Stretching on the days I don't do workouts so I can help my soreness 5. Prioritizing my downtime more 6. Getting out of the 270s!

@lindamtuck2018, great question! I think the weather change here and some life stuff have me feeling stuck, but this week I scheduled my workouts in my calendar, so they're in there and part of my day. I also have my HelloFresh coming on Tuesday, so I'll have my meals for the week figured out :) Also looks like you had a…

SW: 275.2 10/8: 270.8 10/17: 275 10/22: 271.2 10/29: 271.6 My goal for November is to make it out of the 270s! I know that’s completely attainable I’m just feeling a bit stuck.

Kickboxing went so well! I signed up for the gym. It is a commitment, but I am trying to re-commit to myself, so it feels good. I'm nervous, but excited to be held accountable by the gym. For my November goals, I'm hoping to see some progress from being in the gym 3x a week and having a better diet. I'm hoping for a…

@lindamtuck2018, I hope you enjoyed the movie! & it does feel really good to see the water weight disappear. I also had something that had me feeling under the weather, so I hope you're feeling better. @NachDeezy, thank you! Didn't get to my class last night, but rescheduled it for tonight, so looking forward to it! I…

Sunday Weigh-In torih941 SW: 275.2 10/8: 270.8 10/17: 275 10/22: 271.2 I’m glad I lost the water weight from the trip. Now to get focused and lost the extra ounces I gained.

Congrats on the losses everyone! It is inspirational, especially when I'm feeling a bit low about my own. Gives me motivation. This weekend includes a bonfire, haunted houses, and some downtime. My HelloFresh meals have been tasty! And keeping me free eating out like I wanted. I got a walk in yesterday evening with a…

My trip was a great time! I know I overdid it on the eating out, but I tried to make the best choices with my food. I know some of it is water weight as I didn't actually gain 5lbs in 4 days, but it still didn't feel the best to see it. I seem to have caught a small cold from the plane or just the excitement of the trip…

Sunday Weigh-In (Late!) torih941 SW: 275.2 10/8: 270.8 10/17: 275 Went up, but I know it was due to the trip. I definitely let myself splurge a little bit, but I enjoyed myself! I know I can get back on track, so it'll be okay. I'm back home and can control my eating. I hope everyone has had a good week!

It absolutely is! Props to you! Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to get started.

Thank you! Both @RoblinB and @lindamtuck2018 for the words. You're right. I'm the one in control so I get to make the choices. I'll choose to enjoy myself and be mindful at the same time. Even this week leading up to it I was somewhat dreading work, but I am going to instead choose to be grateful and look forward to my…

I am a bit worried about what this week will look like. I am going on vacation Wednesday, which I'm so excited for, but I know my eating might be a little less than healthy. I know I can make healthy choices and I'm hoping all the walking will offset the food. I also feel a little nervous about flying and fitting…

It was a busy weekend with maybe not the best food choices, but I'm happy to still see a loss! I have a trip coming up next week that I am so, so looking forward to so it's just about getting through this week for me. I know the trip will have a lot of walking and movement so I'm going to try and get some walks in this…

@lindamtuck2018 they do give fairly small portions, that is what slightly a downside. I sometimes fill it with other sides or add an extra portion from my own fridge to compensate a bit. It's definitely been a good starting point.

Sunday Weigh-In torih941 SW: 275.2 10/8: 270.8 What a pleasant surprise! I definitely did a happy dance.

What kind of meals do they send you with your hello fresh? We had a previous teammate who did quite well with home meal delivery. She started doing it 5 days a week until she eventually tapered the frequency. How many days will you be doing? I'm doing it 3 days a week right now, just to start off. This week was a baked…

This week definitely got away from me. I had some type of event every day after work, but I felt like I stay in control of my eating. I recently rejoined Hello Fresh to make sure I am actually eating at home and making meals instead of stopping on my way home. I'm hoping when I have enough confidence in the kitchen I can…

Sorry for the delay in my weigh-in, I was out of town at a concert! So, I plan to properly weigh in this week. I know I did not eat quite like I should have so I am a bit nervous to step on the scale. Thank you all for the warm welcomes, I can't wait to continue posting and being apart of such a supportive group!

1. Tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from? Family? Pets? What are some of your hobbies? Etc. I'm Tori! I'm a clinical therapist, so I sit a lot and I try to take walks in between clients. I get a little too comfy sitting and then I go home and sit, so I'm trying to be more active. I'm from Nebraska, USA and…

Hi! Thank you so much for the warm welcomes :smile: I'm so excited to be apart of a challenge and re-dedicate myself to my fitness journey. I can definitely say I took September off and was a bit lax, so getting back to it will be good for myself and my mental health. I can't wait to get to know everyone!

Name: torih941 Chosen weigh-in day: Sunday Current weight: 275.2 Original start weight: 310 I haven't joined a challenge in forever, so I'm a little nervous, but I really need the accountability and supportive people :smile:

@AlexandraFindsHerself1971, yay to the bike! I've considered trying a cycling class, any tips or advice for someone who has literally never done a class? Do you find it to be a good workout? @AngelaHButterfly, welcome! Wow, Egypt, I bet that is going to be beautiful when the time comes. Great goals, I also am restarting.…

@uyister, thanks for the yogurt tip! Nice loss, I did T-25 awhile ago and it was quite the workout. @Tarzan37, sounds like a great visit with yummy foods! @Lasmartchika, sorry to hear about the stressful week, I hope this week is a little better. @Zadviv2, hello! Sounds like you're already on a great start. @MaxCat1000,…

November Weigh-In 11/2: 245.6 11/08: 244 So, progress! Did not incorporate exercise this week, but I did feel more in-control regarding my food and calming down excessive snacking. This week I am hoping to slowly start adding exercise back in. I really fell off the wagon, so I don't want to dive headfirst into 5x a week…

@pamiede, oh my goodness, I was wondering where you were. So happy you're on the mend and I hope that process continues. @KeriA, I hope the new job continues to go well! @chupacabragumbo, so sorry to hear about the hurricane and your grandfather. That is a lot at one time, sending you hugs. And thank you for what you do as…

Hi all! Hopefully starting November with a fresh start and mind. Thank you @RavenStCloud for setting up this space for us, so appreciated! October did not go well for me, but it helped me see what I need to work on to get back on track to where I was. November Weigh-In 11/2: 245.6 Goals! *Exercise 3x-5x per week…
