  • @KeriA, yes, I think I am going to wait it out until July and see what things are looking like here. I do miss the routine of going there and it was always such a great workout. Congrats on completing the book! Thank you, I am happy to see progress, too. I will be sending positive vibes for your job. @wholebygrace,…
  • 5/31: 241 6/5: 240.5 Progress is progress! I’d like to be comfortably out of the 240s by the end of June, preferably around 237-238. I know incorporating exercise would help, I just need to find that inner motivation for myself. My step-kids are coming over for a long weekend and we’re generally quite active with them, so…
  • @duebedm, that looks like a great list to follow. I try not to give myself too many goals because then I overwhelm myself and quickly lose motivation. @AlexandraFindsHerself1971, I hope the move is smooth, I know how stressful moving can be. @legion150,I feel so good when I eat right and exercise too. I slacked the month…
  • @RavenStCloud, thanks for creating this space for us, Raven! So appreciated. Like @CupcakeCrusoe, I am going to steak the emojis! I need some positivity right now. May end weight: 241 June goal weight: anything below 241 I find placing a goal of below 241 just helps me not beat myself up if I’m not hitting the exact number…
  • I had a regular check-up appointment and was told that my cholesterol was something that I should start monitoring. I drove home crying, I'm 24 years old and possibly looking being put on medication because of my diet. A lot of health risks run in my family, but I would rather know that I did everything I could on my end…
  • My weight is currently up as of today, but I plan to post the official weigh-in tomorrow. I know I am not magically going to be done to 239 since I weighed in at 241.5 today, but I weighed in at 245 the previous day. I am not sure what is going on, but I think I am still needed to up my water intake. For some reason I…
  • @duebedm, that sounds rough, I’m sorry. I hope the rest of the week/weekend is better. And thank you for letting us glimpse into yours! @finngirl61, thank you for sharing the quotes. I love quotes, I’d hang them all over my house if I could. @cesse47, thank you so much for the positive words. Brought a smile to my face. We…
  • @cesse47, I’m thinking of you and your family, I hope everyone continues to be safe and well. To everyone else congrats on the successes you’ve had and hugs to those who may be struggling right now. I, personally, fell off with logging and tracking the last two weeks. I did it very sporadically, which has not been good for…
  • 5/17: 239 5/23: 240 I’m a little surprised! I thought I’d see a loss, but I’ve been hovering in the 239-240 range the last two weeks. I think because I started incorporating regular exercise again that my body is adjusting. So, I’ll just have to be patient! I’m also feeling a little bloated, so I’ll be upping my water…
  • Hi everyone! Sorry to be MIA, my summer course started and work is quite busy right now as we have a summer program to gear up for. I have been staying at a steady 239, I actually think I'm between 238.5-239 because my scale only weighs in 0.5 increments so I don't get to see any ounces besides that. I would like a new…
  • @speyerj, go you! That’s amazing. Such an inspiration! @jaresaross07, echoing what @RavenStCloud said, I can’t keep sweets in my house because I will finish it all within a day or two. That’s one area I’m still working on, however, I do love sweets! Have you tried any of the lowcal options? They have fudge bars, various…
  • @aliciap0116, great loss! I also struggle when my weight bounces around and trying to figure out what the "real" number is. Great work with your goals! @BrownSugar174, that must feel amazing! @AlexandraFindsHerself1971, I hope you're feeling better. @PansyLass13, great loss! I notice that I feel better as well when I get…
  • My boyfriend ordered a workout game for his Switch called Ring Fit Adventure, wow I worked up a sweat and it was fun! I burned almost as much in 45 minutes as I would’ve in one of my kickboxing classes. So, I think working out at home isn’t going to be too difficult for me now! Hope everyone is having a great Monday!
  • @KeriA, that sounds like an extremely productive day, I'm glad you were able to access the software. And great loss! @CupcakeCrusoe, I hope the pizza and moscato was tasty! I also have a hard time relaxing if I know there is stuff around the house that I need to do, but I hope you were able to! I started watching The…
  • April ending weight: 240 5/2: 240.5 5/9: 239 Definitely pleased to see this number. I have been in the 230s in YEARS, I know I will probably bounce around between 239-240s until I am a bit farther in the 230s, but I am still excited to see that number. I also realized I never set May goals! Following @CupcakeCrusoe…
  • Hope everyone is having a great Thursday! I did it everyone, my first workout of May (besides mowing my huge yard) from Youtube. I was sitting on the couch watching TV and I'm like "I need to be more productive with my time", so I went to someone I followed on Instagram who I really like and did one of her favorite Youtube…
  • I'm back, and survived finals. Only have one more class Thursday and then I get a week break before summer classes start. I realized I never posted my starting weight for May, so I'm going to do it a bit late. April ending weight: 240 5/2: 240.5 I ended up losing 1.5lbs in April which I will happily take! I have not been…
  • Hi all! I plan to weigh in tomorrow or Sunday, but I've definitely been overeating a bit more, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a sodium gain as I've ate a lot oh high sodium foods. That is something I'm really trying to work on, but I struggle with. Does anyone have any tips for how they keep their sodium consumption…
  • Weigh-in SW: 272 3/31: 242 4/9: 241.5 4/19: 241.5 4/26: 240 April Goals *No specific goal weight, just below 242. Yay, happy to have lost 2lbs for the month! I'm surprised honestly, I was anticipating a gain. I felt like I was eating a lot and I didn't track for a few days, but it feels good to know if I'm not tracking…
  • @duebedm, I hope you're feeling better. I've been experiencing that as well, going through phases of craving stuff that I know is bad for me. @AlexandraFindsHerself1971, that's a solid plan of action to have. @KeriA, great losses. It's cool to look back on our numbers and see trends. And that's a great victory! I struggle…
  • I did a side by side in a shirt I wear fairly often now. On the left side, it was definitely snug and I was wearing the sweater over it because I was worried about my back fat showing through. I was so self conscious in it! And today my boyfriend took this photo of me, I promise I’m happier than I look in it. It helps to…
  • @CupcakeCrusoe, all that bread sounds yummy, I enjoy watching bread making videos for some reason haha. Great loss though, you're doing amazing in April! @orangequilt, glad you're doing well. All we can do is survive right now in ways that work best for us. @vegasgirl0825, good work stepping on the scale, that can be a…
  • Weigh-in SW: 272 3/31: 242 4/9: 241.5 4/19: 241.5 April Goals *No specific goal weight, just below 242. I guess technically I've accomplished my goal for April, but hoping I can get to at least 241! I was 100% expecting a decent gain because I have not been tracking, but I kind of feel good that even though I wasn't…
  • Thank you for all your kind words and virtual hugs. Means more than I can express. I adjusted my goals to lose 0.5lbs to give myself more calories to work with so I’d stop beating myself up if I went over. Exercising and logging isn’t really happening for me right now, as someone mentioned earlier, getting out of bed and…
  • Hope all is well! I fell off logging for a bit and honestly, I am struggling daily with work and school and everything going on. I hope to find a groove again soon, but right now my depression is taking a firm hold so I'm having a hard time. I just wanted to pop in and say hello and hope everyone's week is going well.
  • Weigh-in SW: 272 3/31: 242 4/9: 241.5 April Goals *No specific goal weight, just below 242. I waited awhile to post my weigh-in as I kept flucuating between 242-244 and I knew it was sodium content. I told myself that no matter what the number was today, I'd roll with it. *move EVERY day: Trying my best! I need to start…
  • @sharpdust, I'm so happy you're back, I had just been thinking of you again! I think these are times where it is definitely okay to just step away and recompose ourselves, this is a new life experience for everyone. And 2lbs within that timeframe? Nothing at all, you got this. @orangequilt, I have also made some bad…
  • Thank you for all the feedback everyone. I upped my water intake today and was already able to tell a difference in my hunger levels. @cesse47. welcome! Thank you for sharing, that sounds unimaginably difficult, I'm so sorry. We're all here for you. @speyerj, you're doing amazing! You inspire me. @svm569, that sounds like…
  • Hopefully I got everyone, if not, just know that I read your post! April has been rough for me (even though we are four days in haha). I am having a HUGE issue with snacking when I do not need to and just eating when I am not hungry. Logically I know that I am not hungry, but I eat the food because it's in the house. I'm…
  • @CupcakeCrusoe, that sounds like a rough day. I hope it got better! Also, great loss! You're kicking butt in April already. @BrownSugar174, I LOVE the shoes!! And great loss! @Terytha, my anxiety is being frustrating, too. Sending you hugs. @shorepine, sounds like you had a productive day. I also have a feeling I've gained…
