Hi Team! I see some familiar faces and some new members too. I'm excited to be back with you guys again. I had a hard time getting back to weight loss and ended up working with the health coach again. I really needed someone to hold my hand and check in on me. I feel like I have some good habits going and I can contribute…

Hi team, I'm not checking in and keeping up with the group like I hoped. Please move me to the support team. Spring sports are going for the kids and life is busy. It's a good busy! I end up feeling guilty that I don't check in or have time to read posts. Giving myself permission to release some obligations. Wishing…

PW 247.0 CW 246.2 Made some real growth in the area of logging my food. I know I'm getting more structured when I tell my husband I have to check my calories before we have evening snacks. I'm getting out for more walks as winter fades away.

Do any of you have the option to voice log your food in your diary? It sounds like it might be rolling out for some now and others later. I LOVE IT!!! I think I might actually log my food consistently

CW: 248.8 Sorry I was missing last week for weigh in day. Woke up last Thursday to a text with an obituary for one of my past students. We knew he had a shortened life expectancy but so hard. Life was busy and I am just getting back to normal. The plan is to log regularly which I have not been doing!

PW 247.2 CW 246.4 Yay! Heading down the right direction. I wasn't as consistent as I had hoped but much better than I have been.

Hi! My name is Kristi and I'm 42, married with 3 kids, 3 dogs and 4 guinea pigs. I live near Spokane Washington in the US. I work part time as a school based occupational therapist. Last month I really didn't make any progress. I had a slow start followed by all 3 of the kids having influenza A. Not sure how my husband and…

CW 248.2 Sorry I missed last week! Influenza A is going through my kids schools. My boys have had fevers. Work has been busy since I missed a few days with sick kid duty. I haven't been tracking or anything. I'm planning to count this period as a diet break and start fresh right away. Hopefully no one else gets it.

PW 247.4 CW 245.4 Going in the right direction! @bowens1973 Morgan is so 😍 cute!!!

@strong_fit_ells Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day @lauren_989 Bummer about the shoulder even if it was good exercise 😕 Fingers crossed it recovers soon @ashleycarole86 Sounds like a great get away for you guys. Hope you feel recharged. @micki48 I can relate to being tired after work. My husband teaches 1st grade…

@Alatariel75 He is so cute! He looks a lot like my dog! This summer my husband and son found a dog in the forest and we ended up keeping him. I was unable to find an owner. The vet thinks he is about 10. He's a shih tzu and he was so mated. He is on his 3rd hair cut now and looks really cute.

PW 247.0 CW 247.4 Hmmm... not sure what the deal is. I felt pretty good about this week. Hopefully things will get moving again soon.

@Kali225 So glad you are ok! That is amazing that someone got pictures and you can get things moving quickly!

PW 248.6 CW 247.0 I was back on track and then new years treats. My weigh in days have been so close to holidays. Oh well! Enjoying the last few days of my break. I always find I do better on a schedule. Back to work Monday. Logging those calories is key.

I woke up this morning and my weight was down 2 lbs. Hopefully the extra will come off by my next weigh in. Yesterday was a good day, 2.5 hours of roller skating and under calories. I think everyone is over the sweets at my house. I threw most of it out this morning but left some of the candy out. I'm picky about candy and…

PW 243.6 CW 248.6 Ouch, was really shocked by this number!

@lauren_989 I'm going to weight in tomorrow. Forgot to get on the scale this morning. I'm guessing it won't be great. Time of the month and sooo much christmas candy and treats. Today I am in my calories so that's a win. My husband and I did a long sauna session this evening. Hopefully I will shed some of this water…

Our cookies!

Hi everyone, I've been a little lax on tracking and the scale was up today. Getting myself back to tracking today. So happy I hit my calories today. My husband and I had a date day. We went down town for a cookie decorating class. Then a little shopping and lunch at a fancy restaurant overlooking the river and the falls.…

PW: 245.8 CW: 243.6 Another good week for me. Stil just getting 1 workout in a week. Calories are on track. I'm still just counting calories but no macro counting yet. Planning more of the same for this week. I would like to add a 2nd workout. @ashleycarole86 Brad and Ashley, I am so sorry for your loss. That sounds so…

PW: 247.8 CW: 245.8 Just read through about 25 posts and loved hearing everyones news. So excited for blue dresses with extra room! Smaller jeans and new weight loss milestones. Go team! I was able to fit one workout in this week. Calories have been on track. My husband has commented on my weight loss which always feels…

Hello, Hope that @MaddawgMadsen and @lauren_989 are feeling better soon! I had a good week overall and was able to log calories every day. I had one day when calories were a little high but I still had a small deficit. I'm calling that a win. I need to get a workout in this weekend. I need to plan week day workouts better.…

PW: 251.6 CW: 247.8

@lauren_989 Sorry you are so sick! I hope you start to feel better soon. So true about maintenance calories, not free for all calories. I tracked my calories and my weight for 2 weeks to determine my maintenance calories. They were a lot higher than a lot of the apps calculators. I'm glad I did that to get an accurate…

Hope everyone is having a good Monday. The last few days have been good. I'm logging food and staying in my calories. Happy with my progress so far. I do eat snacks. My husband and I like to have a snack in the evening. I budget my snack in ahead of time. Go to snacks are popcorn, cheese/crackers/fruit, fruit parfaits,…
