I heard back from my doctor yesterday and he wants me to take at least another week off (if not more) from strenuous exercise, which is not what I was hoping to hear. I was wondering if you could move me to the cheer squad for a little while? My post op appointment is January 30th, so at least until then, I'm going to try…

@sleepymom5 Happy Birthday Pam!! I know you're going to have the best day since your son came for a surprise visit. Enjoy your time with hime!

amytriesww Weigh In: Sunday Week 1 (This is the only week I'm going to get this right! lol) Previous weight: 190.6 Current weight: 187.5 This came out of nowhere. I was 189 at the hospital on Tuesday, so a portion of this I had lost before the surgery. I'm assuming the rest is fluid. Either way, I'll gladly take it.…

Hello! I'm Amy. I'm 37, a wife, mom to 1, and a student going into my last semester of college (for now anyway!). I joined Weight No More in August 2019 (if I'm remembering correctly). I've lost 101 lbs- and 68 of those lbs have been with this group. I'm not sure what my goal weight will be- it's more of a "I'll know it…

Just a quick check in. My surgery went well on Tuesday. I can't decide if anesthesia is fascinating or creepy! lol All I remember is scooting from the hospital bed to the OR table (don't even remember laying back down) and then waking up in PACU. Haven't had to take any pain meds since the first day. I'm finding it really…

amytriesww Weigh In Sundays Week 5 Previous weight: 194.1 Current weight: 190.6 I've been so busy, it seems like the 190s flew by. Not sure how much I'll be on this week since my surgery is Tuesday. Also hating that I won't be able to work out this week depending on recovery. I'll try to get some walking in, but I prefer…

Merry Christmas Eve everybody! Just wanted to say a quick hello! We're doing our Christmas dinner this evening, so I'm so busy cooking right now. I'm throwing in a couple healthy dishes for me so I can stay on track. Also, I hit a huge milestone when I weighed this morning and thought I would share a photo. I've officially…

amytriesww Weigh in: Friday (normally Sunday) Previous weight: 196.7 Current weight: 194.1 Happy with 2.6 down this week. Haven't worked out at all- on top of the UTI, I came down with a head cold and I can't take any medicine this close to surgery so it's been a rough one! lol I meal prepped chili for the week and have…

@Mrsbell8well I can totally see why you won 1st place! Your sweater is amazing! That's the best one I've seen! lol And you look beautiful- as always! @pacsnc6 Let me know how the Chinese Lantern Festival is! I'm thinking of taking my daughter too! She loves anything Japan! @Freeglerock Congratulations and welcome to…

Weigh in Saturday (normally Sunday) Week 3 ? Previous weight: 201.1 Current weight: 196.7 I had to step on the scale 5 times to actually believe what I saw. Hopefully my scale is accurate- I just put fresh batteries in it a couple days ago. Headed to urgent care this morning for a UTI. Ugh. Hope this doesn’t affect my…

@sleepymom5 Yes! I'd like to weight in Saturday 12/14 for Sunday 12 and 12/20 for 12/22. So cool that you got to see the Rockettes!! I have always loved them- I remember watching in the parade every year on TV growing up. Were you able to get any pictures?

Hi y'all! It's been a long week with finals and pre-op. The rest of December is going to be pretty hectic. I'll be traveling to northern Virginia this coming weekend and then Maryland the week after visiting family for the holidays. Then, I'll be home for Christmas and my surgery is scheduled for the 31st. Then, I should…

amytriesww Week 2 Previous Weight: 201.9 Current Weight: 201.1 It's hard to not be mad about this number. I did everything right. I meal prepped for the week so I was a little under calorie every day. I ran between 105-120 flights of stairs 4 days this week. I do feel a little bloated- although it isn't my TOM. I did think…

@lennoncpa 9 bags! What a workout! I don't think it's weird at all to be so happy about getting your leaves up. That's a tough job and I would feel so accomplished!

@Mrsbell8well You look so slender doing that yoga pose! Do you have a specific program you follow or did you make your own? I would love to start doing yoga. I have a couple DVDs, but it's so hard to learn the poses while watching the TV! Also, how long is your cleanse? It sounds like it's going really well! @Cafelelia I'm…

@Freeglerock Welcome! I also LOVE to sew!! I bet your daughter's costume came out amazing! I can make clothes, but they aren't my favorite! haha I prefer quilting and making bags. Exercise is also what I have more trouble with- we're two peas! lol @tryingagain5 I hope you're able to get some rest tonight!

Workout Wednesday Today I ran 107 flights of stairs! It was killer!

@sleepymom5 Hey, if you're within your daily calories, I don't consider that overeating! lol I'm glad you're seeing some improvement in your knee and hip! That's great news! And, yes, I started in June. I can't believe how far I've come. Consistency is what has gotten me here, I think. Even when I have a splurge meal, I…

@Mrsbell8well I love your tip and what you said about commitment. That is exactly what it is- a commitment. I started my journey in June. On June 4th, I had a slip up and I remember thinking to myself, "No! This is not going to be like every other time." I literally made a commitment to myself that day to do this for me…

@kirsten11872 Your tree is beautiful!! Brought mine down from the attic, but haven't got it up yet! I'm so late this year! @hope002 you look amazing! It's a wonder the difference those 8 lbs made! I'm glad you're enjoying IF! I've mentioned before, I find it interesting, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for it yet. By the…

Motivation Monday One of my favorite quotes: The key to success is to focus on goals, not obstacles. At this week's weigh in, I was 9.9 lbs away from having lost 100 lbs. I would have failed a million times over if I had only focused on my ultimate goal weight. I've found that small, consistent changes are what will lead…

Sharing Sunday I joined Fat2Fit because I wanted to be a part of a group of people who were on the same journey that I'm on. The thing I like the most about it is that it's set up like a competition, but it never feels like one. Everyone is so supportive of each other and sometimes the support I get from this group is the…

amytriesww Week 1 Previous Weight: 206.3 Current Weight: 201.9 Can't even explain this loss! lol I spent 3 days away from home and my routine. We ate out once, we had "Steaks-giving", we went on a boat ride and I had a big cup of hot apple cider. I was hoping for even the smallest loss because I made the healthiest choices…

amytriesww Week 4 (?) Previous weight: 210.0 Current weight: 206.3

Check in On track all week Exercise: Between 105-120 flights of stairs Sunday through Thursday Water: minimum of 60 oz every day Steps: Over 12k every day (except rest day) Sorry I haven't been able to post much this week. Finals are coming up in the next few weeks. Also had tons of appointments this week. I planned ahead…

Amytriesww Weigh in day: Saturday (this week) Week 2 Previous weight: 213.4 Current weight: 211.3

@Mrsbell8well I am SO proud of you for making that decision! It takes such strength to workout when you're either sick or just not feeling it. I struggle with my workouts sometimes, so you continue to be an inspiration to me. @sleepymom5 How do you like IF? I'm not sure I'm ready for it. Between dinner and my preworkout…

Hi all! I'm Amy and I joined Weight No More in August (I think! lol) and have lost almost 46 lbs with this group (78.6 all together). This is not my first attempt at weight loss-I'm sure we've all been down this road many times. I'm a wife, mom, and full time student. This semester, I've struggled with balancing workouts…
