Total March loss: 11 lbs (March finished weight 235) Apr. 7: 233 Apr. 13: 232 Apr. 20: 230 @angeloup50 - Thank you, I am now at nearly three weeks of junk sleep. Up until after 0330 this morning and had to get up at 0530 for work. Barely keeping to together (and thank goodness for spell check...). I have tried meditating…

I am having a lot of trouble sleeping right now. Even on days when I do a full on all muscles work out. That would normally put me out... I have not had insomnia in years - not like this, one or two nights, sure but this has been over a week of minimal sleep. I am starting to feel very bloated, the scale is still moving -…

So I did something crazy yesterday... I booked myself a trip to Hawaii. My mom always wanted to go and because of her I have always wanted to see it. Plus I have a 'bucket list' goal to hike it all 50 states. This is big for me because I am not one to do something like this and certainly not alone. But I did it. Now I have…

Total March loss: 11 lbs (March finished weight 235) Apr. 7: 233 Apr. 13: 232 Apr. 21: Apr. 28: self sabotage is starting to play. I want to keep on track but I keep eating crap. I am still working out which is helping me but I would be doing a lot better if I could stop eating the crap. I know we keep saying - with the…

Great non-scale victory: I fit in a smaller size jeans!!!!! Thankfully I still have three pair. My original jeans in December had gotten so tight I was going to have to go up a size. Instead I went down one!! They are a little snug but that will change as I go. Any other non-scale victories out there?

Total March loss: 11 lbs (March finished weight 235) Apr. 6: 233 Apr. 14: Apr. 21: Apr. 28: I allowed myself a few drinks recently and found that I am bloated in the morning when I weigh in. Oops Either I cannot drink the day before weigh in or stop drinking for now. I do not drink much but enjoy a glass of Whiskey now and…

The scale seems to be moving again so that is nice. I am struggling to meet my minimum calories though. The site recommends 1500ish, I some days struggle for 1200, of course some days, if I let myself, I could probably hit 3000. But as I move to veggies and fruits (more veggies than fruit ;) ) I seem to fill up faster. I…

I laugh at the droopy drawers comments, as I have been dealing with the same issue. I cannot wait until I can fit into my smaller pants. Any day now. Of course the past week did not go well. I look like I was at a stand still but I actually gained 1.5 pounds. I did work to take it off but then later in the week started…

Happy Friday all! I checked the scale today and lost the 1.5 pounds I put on early in the week. Hopefully I can keep the momentum going the right way. I worked from home yesterday and did not pig out on junk... probably because I had none in the house, but still I'll take the win.

@ladycopnh1 I am from Massachusetts. Of course our Gov 'shut down non essential' then pretty much made everyone essential... I work for a company that make medical products so we were staying open no matter what. I agree with the closer to the fridge thing. I am required to work from home at least two days a week and it is…

Weight in: Total February loss: 4 lbs (finished weight 246) Mar. 2: 243 Mar. 10: 240 Mar. 16: 236 Mar. 23: 235 Mar. 31: This was a pretty hard weekend. I am tired and craving junk food. I am fairly surprised but I guess I shouldn't be. Fruits and veggies are full up at my local food stores. Frozen meals and stuff like that…

I feel your pain. I have had to start working from home most of the week and my eating went right out the window. Plus I am less active. Even when I fit in a workout - I am used to getting up and moving a bit now I am stuck sitting at my desk at home. No one to get up and see to ask questions. We can do this. Start from…

Total February loss: 4 lbs (finished weight 246) Mar. 2: 243 Mar. 10: 240 Mar. 16: 236 Mar. 24: Mar. 31: seem to be slow and steady right now. But Covid-19 is messing with me. I have to work from home some days now and it means I am less active. It is hard to get up and move around when you are sitting at home. Thankfully…

Woke up yesterday not feeling great, pretty sure it is the regular flu or a cold. I get one every year and I assume this year will be no different. Today I am very tired, was actually in bed by 10pm last night - not asleep until around 11 again... Even with not feeling great. Hoping this weekend I can work on this.…

@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 Unfortunately I cannot use anything along the lines of edibles. My job will not allow it. Pistachios are high in natural melatonin, I just never remember to eat some in a time frame that will work.

So last night I tried to go to bed an hour early. Yeah that did not work. My brain was going crazy. I actually ended up being awake past my normal time. I am thinking smaller bites are the thing. So instead of going to bed at 11pm maybe I try for 10:45. Last night I tried for 10pm... So my plan for the next week is to be…

Total February loss: 4 lbs (finished weight 246) Mar. 2: 243 Mar. 9: 240 Mar. 17: Mar. 24: Mar. 31: I was a little down this morning after my weight in. Until I entered it in. I realized at that point I have lost 6 pounds this month. So actually I have something to be happy about. I have been sick since Friday but am…

I am pretty excited. I am now at 240 lbs. I haven't been here in about 3 years. Dr says ideal weight is 140 - but I haven't been 140 since high school. I am aiming for 170 then I will reevaluate my quality of life and maybe adjust my goal. How is everyone doing? Where is everyone? This is the time when people start to drop…

Ahhhh!!! I have to pay more attention to my logging as the day goes on. Yesterday I thought I hit my calories but when I checked this morning to complete my report I was under 600 for the day!! I am not closing out the day because I will get a warning from the site about not meeting my calories. I know it is bad especially…

Good morning everyone. So I had a basic weekend. I went out to eat three times, still managed to stay in my calories as I ate a small portion of what was in front of me. I find that most of the time I cannot finish a restaurant sized meal any more. This is of course a very good thing. I did not work out all weekend and…

@charlottemilton - if you get a chance and have the resources check out DDPyoga and/or Totalgym. I use both and after a little pain getting going they have helped me move better. regular yoga has also been known to help. Welcome to the group. You can do this! We will help!

Total January loss:12 Lbs (finished weight 250) Feb. 3: 248 Feb. 10: 248 Feb. 17: 245 Feb. 24: 246 Total February loss: 4 lbs (finished weight 246) A little disappointed with this past week. On Wednesday I weighed myself and I was at 242 - then I got tired and was not eating well and ended up +4 pounds. I did not think I…

Total January loss:12 Lbs (finished weight 250) Feb. 3: 248 Feb. 10: 248 Feb. 17: 245 Feb. 25: I already posted about having a butt in chair week last week, plus no loss the week before. I am happy at -3 lbs. Got in a quick 10 minutes this morning, hoping to kick it with cleaning then maybe another 10 or 20 minutes later.…

After a brutal week which was mentally tiring, I still managed to lose weight. (Will post the numbers when I get into that comp). Two days over calories, two days waaaay under. A couple of missed workouts. I'll take it. This week on vacation - well most of the week might have to go it to finish up what was going on that…

I am so very tired. I do not enjoy sitting for hours but nothing can be done for that right now. Had a great work out last night, planning a more relaxed pilates type work out tonight. I think food was okay, will finish logging it in a bit. Really want ice cream and sleep... and a hot shower...

Today could have gone a lot worse. I did have a donut and it was very good, but now I feel sick to my stomach. I am also very tired. Need to run to the store for more carrots - we ran out... and then home to work out. About 1350 calories for the day. even with sitting for most of the day I already have 5000 steps. My…

The rest of this week is going to be hard. I am going to be stuck sitting for 10 hours a day, I was going to bring my resistance bands to work but forgot them. I'll have to remember them tomorrow... ooo maybe my mini cycler too.

@theleadmare: yes I have. =The pain will get so bad that I have to take it off - which means little to no sleep at night. I have also used them while I am relaxing at night in my recliner, that hurts less but there is a limit to the time I can handle. Thank you for the reminder as I have not used them in a little while. I…

Everything HURTS!!! LOL, yesterday I spent nearly the entire 10 hours at work on my feet and running around and climbing over stuff. Then went home and did a full workout, did some laundry and then went to volleyball. We were a person short for volleyball so no rest and we played a really good team so it was constant…

So my weight check in: Total January loss:12 Lbs (finished weight 250) Feb. 3: 248 Feb. 10: 248 Feb. 18: Feb. 25: So far no loss in February, each has been up and down. I have been pretty tired lately and even missing a couple of workouts. Only two so far for the month but I was trying for a full month of working out. I…
