Cr00000 October Week 5 PW: 178.1 CW:178.6 So I have come to the conclusion that my weight is not worth tracking for my goals. I've been doing Insanity Max 30, a high intensity 30 minute workout for 5 days a week for 8 weeks straight and I have only lost 2 lbs. BUT, I'm wearing size 10 pants right now which I couldn't wear…

I have the same issue! It's Saturday so I'm halfway through the weekend. Let's make sure dinner tonight and Sunday are healthy!

Cr00000 October Week 3 PW: 177.7 CW: 181.3 I wasn't tracking this week. I want to believe that I can watch my food intake but it seems I'm still working on that. However I've been doing Insanity Max 30 for 6 weeks straight for 5 days every weeks so I'm proud of that hard work. Maybe its muscle gain?? 💪💪

cr00000 October Week 2 PW 177.2 CW 177.7 I didn't record what I ate this week. I get tired of doing it but then I get disappointed when I don't lose too. Back to recording again...

Can I just say that I WISH I could be 170 right now. I know it's disappointing to see the scale not budge, but have you noticed any inches lost or changes in how your clothes fit. That's the only thing saving me from insanity of seeing 177 on the scale every week! My 12 pants are loose and I can barely squeeze into a 10 so…

cr00000 October Week 1 PW: 177.2 CW: 177.2 Extreme maintenance haha! I noticed my weight fluctuates 1 pound every few days. So I've seen 176.9 on Wednesday then 177.6 yesterday haha. But then I looked at October 2018 and saw that I was 190 then! So I'm glad I'm where I am today!

My October goal is to get to 169 by Oct 31. I have a shopping trip planned Nov 8 weekend so I'd love to finally wear a size 10 comfortably. That will be 8 pounds in 4.5 weeks. October is my favorite month so looking forward to skinny PSLs (I like a short pumpkin spice latte with 1 pump of flavor and soy milk)

@BonnieHosk85 Will my weigh in day still be Friday? I like weighing in that day so just wanted to check.

Hi I'm Charmaine. This is my second challenge. It was a rough start but I ended up losing 2.8 pounds in September. I'm looking forward to crushing that number in October!

@cr00000 September Week 4 PW: 178 CW: 177.2 Almost a pound lost. 2.8 for September. Hoping I can do even better in October!

@BonnieHosk85 You are going to get to your goal! You deserve to get to it. Thank you for your positive comments and responses to our daily struggles and wins. Good that you reviewed your schedule for next week so you're prepared and ready to work it!

@looneycatblue Your goal sounds a lot like mine. I'm 5'9 and currently in a solid 12 and my ultimate goal is 145 but my first goal is 169. Just to say I'm in the 160s would be awesome right now. I'd LOVE to fit into a 10 comfortably this fall.

cr00000 September week 3 PW 179.6 CW 178.0 Finally 2 weeks worth of Max 30 workouts is resulting in weight loss!

@looneycatblue If I'm not in the mood to exercise or don't feel like watching what I eat, I do a few things: I look at my "before" pictures so I visualize what my habits are doing to my body. The other thing I do is play a workout video even if I don't want to do it. I literally sit on the couch....but eventually I do get…

Exercise? Yes - Day 8 of Max 30 Within Calorie Budget? Yes! Tracked food? Yes!!

Exercise? Yes Day 7 of 30 of Max 30 Calorie budget? Yes! Tracked food? Yes! I cheated and weighed in today to see if last week's effort came through. It did 😁😁😁😁😁 I can't wait for Friday guys!

I just quoted what stuck out to me - I have positive feedback!! 1. "I know I should be eating small meals..." - This doesn't work for everyone, definitely not me! Maybe try eating 3 larger satisfying meals and then you may not be ravenous at 9pm. Check you calorie budget and maybe budget for later in the day. My budget is…

That makes so much sense! Like really, that helps soooooo much. Thank you.

Just want to brag about a nonscale victory. I went to Starbucks and I'm always tempted to eat the 400 calorie breads. But today after weighing in and working out this morning, I chose oatmeal!! Oatmeal has never been this exciting but it is today!

@cr00000 September Week 2 PW: 179.9 CW: 179.6 Feeling a bit defeated over that tiny weight loss. I did Max 30 the whole week and I'm still not losing much. Maybe the big loss will be next week.

Exercise? Nope - I was sick today. Took it easy. Tracked everything? Yes. Under goal? Yes, couldn't stomach much...win? lol

Exercise? Nope - got.home at 10pm Tracked everything? Yes. Under goal? Only 33 over - happy about that! Also I finally figured out the calories vs exercise issue. I just needed to change my activity level to Light Active. Now it realistically counts my steps as a few calories as opposed to a huge exercise deficit. I work…

Exercise? YES Sunday and Monday. Virtually working out with my BFF Tracked everything? No. I didn't feel like it today. I cannot do that again Under goal? Not sure. Again...need to track!

Eventhough Myfitnesspal tells you exercise calories and gives you more calories to eat, I'm not sure it's accurate. I followed the budgeted calories and exercised 3 times this week and did not lose. I'm wondering if I should stick to 1400 no matter what exercise I do.

Exercise? No. Tracked everything? No. Under goal? Probably not Good news is that my friend and I promised each other to workout virtually together, starting Sunday.

@cr00000 September week 1 PW: 179.5 CW: 179.8 If I actually just exercise I'll lose this damn weight! Ugggghhhh....at least I know how to maintain lol

Exercise today? Nope - I need motivation to get up in the morning and exercise Tracked food? Yes Under goal? Yes!

You got this! Forget about yesterday - it's gone. Tomorrow is a new day for eating healthy and tracking your food. I am pushing myself to exercise more so I don't have to worry about a meal taking out my calorie goal. Those Max 30 videos torch 250-300 cals in 30 minutes! Now if I could just get up from this couch....

Exercise today? Nope - just the usual sedentary desk lifestyle. I want to move more but need to fight myself to do it! Tracked food? Yes Under goal? Yes! I'm eating whole wheat cereal right now just because I needed more fiber haha

Uggggh I've had those days too. It usually happens during certain days of the month or general stress. And that feeling of having to start over sucks! But this is what I tell myself to get out of that anxiety cycle: You WILL succeed. Dust yourself off, that day is over and start fresh today. Promise us and yourself that…
