  • SW: 217 CW: 205.8 Interim GW: 196 GW: 165 Age: 44 Last week I was all over the place because of t.o.m. and didn't really track very well because I was damned hungry all the time. I also had gotten into a sort of depressive episode. I'm not depressed, but had pretty severe PPD a few years back so I know what to look for…
  • SW: 217 CW: 206.6 Intering GW: 196 UGW: 165 I gained .6 lbs back this week. I lost a bit of focus because I allowed myself to eat more based on hunger as it is T.O.M. week for me. So, yesterday I got back on track and so this weeks goals are: 1. Eat at or below calorie limits of 1,570 2. Log all foods accurately 3. Swim 3x…
  • @wanderinglight This sounds like me. I too run an art business (children's illustration and book covers) and I am zapped out energy wise. I actually closed down a large portion of my business as I need to now plan on homeschooling my 5 and 8 year old so I'm working on creating a really clear schedule that allows both…
  • I dont feel like adding all my things here, but I'm. 6 lbs down from last week, so that's good.
  • Woo hoo. Hit my first 10 lb goal. No, I realize it's not a lot in the grand scheme of things, since I want to be about 40 more lbs down, but it's a start. My sister and I are encouraging/competing in 10 lb increments and I said I'd send her something as a congratulations when she hits her goals as encouragement--probably…

HT: 5'9" I took a weekend off of eating to my calories limit and instead ate at maintenance or below just to take a little mini break and recharge myself. Yesterday I let myself have a carb heavy day eith chocolate and…

I didnt go into June with any goals except to lose weight by daily tracking and staying in or under calorie range. Today I've done 30 days of tracking and lost 8.4 lbs. My sister and I are challenging…
  • Good morning. I had an odd weekend of lots of work cleaning my house that involved a gigantic wolf spider--3 inches, easily--a flat tire and what I hope was a decent Father's Day for my husband. Last year he spent all summer in the hospital, so I have to imagine him being home this year was already way better. Weigh-ins:…
  • Monday weigh in. SW: 217 CW: 210 Intermediate GW: 10 lb intervals UGW: 160 I'm 5,'9". This week I did a lot of landscaping around the house but stopped going to the pool because the cases of Covid-19 have skyrocketed in my state. So I'm going to have to find another workout source to do with my kids.
  • SW: 216 SW one week ago: 217 CW (6/7): 210.6 This past week I tracked everything. Had an off day yesterday, because I built my son a stand for his terrarium and it's the first wood project I've ever made. It was hot, sweaty and long work, so I ended up going out to dinner. But, I tracked that too and ended up eating all my…
  • I read something a while ago that said, whatever you think you need to do, have a glass of water. It was just a silly little thing, like "lost your glasses? Have some water, want something crunchy? Have some water" but I do find it is helpful to me when I am craving something. Something posted in my gym is a wee little…

  • I have huge imposter syndrome in my career--I illustrate picture books--and I am always criticizing myself because I'm not as good, fast, creative, whatever as other illustrators. Sometimes, it cripples me to non-action and I'll put my art on the backburner. Pretty damned annoying. I used to get very frustrated with my…

Just starting on my fitness journey to regain some semblance of my own life back where I'm not a caretaker 24/7. Looking to lose about 40 to 50 lbs overall, but more importantly looking to build…
