@dobber965 Thank you for posting about The Game Changers. We just finished watching it and is enlightening.

October is my favorite month! Thank you @RavenStCloud for the thread. Age: 56 Height 5'8" SW 257.2 1.1.21 CW 232.2 GW for Oct. 228 UGW 160 I have been laying low and have not weighed for a month. I have been a little frustrated that I hit the 25# mark and then hopped up 1.8-3.2# since the beginning of July. The last couple…

@girlinkaz I started taking prenatal vitamins and it is definitely helping! I will be 56 next week so do not need them for pregnancy but they are good vitamins.

It seems that I hit the 25# mark and bounced up a bit. Yikes. Nothing has changed with my eating other than going over a bit last Saturday. I have lost inches…

Thank you for posting... I needed this just now.

Age: 55 Height: 5' 8" SW: 257.2 (12/28/20) GW: 160 MSW: 232.2 7/9 234.4 Don't know... can't say! I am doing the same thing and this is the biggest gain that I have had so far. I drank so much water(over 200oz.) yesterday and I was still up. I am trying to not let it get to me but I am a lil let down today.

Amazing job and thank you for sharing your wife's loss, as well. You 2 are a beautiful couple!

Thank you for your post! I just hit 25# but it took me 6 months to get here. You are doing a great job!

@goal06082021 We are headed to the mountains this weekend and I meal prep all our food for the stay. I made some Brownies with raspberries for a get together. They are always a big hit. Brownies work out great for me because they are easy to make, I don't like brownies, and can't eat gluten... its a win, win!

@alisampm "Before times me" would be freaking blown away by the progress I've made. The "now me" feels like its not fast enough. Sometimes its all about perspective." Oh my goodness! This is so spot on for me... exactly! I have been thinking about this for the last couple of days and it has really helped me relax about…

You can do some if not all of it and it will give you confidence to do more! Come back here and let us know about all your new adventures. You may be surprised that others…

Surprised since we are still masking but my daughter got it first. It has been a rough week but I did not eat any differently and I was up 1.6# this morning.…

Age: 55 Height: 5' 8" SW: 257.2 (12/28/20) GW: 160 MSW: 235.4 6/4 234.4 I am going to try to get in more workouts... I plan to look for a beginner kettle bell on youtube and try to get back into the pool. Have a great weekend everybody!

@kelMee2 Great job! Persistence ! @speyerj you are a bad kitten! I think is smart to take a break and come at it refreshed if you choose to! All your numbers are incredible and an inspiration here. @uyister I hope you have a very Happy Birthday tomorrow!! <3

@springlering62 " Love Yourself and laugh at Yourself. No one’s going to be harder on you than Yourself, so give Yourself some grace. Yourself is hard to get along with sometimes. Tell Yourself to shut up." I love this! I copied it and will put on my mirror. :D

@Jthanmyfitnesspal I may try a pull buoy and see if that helps. Thanks for the help!

@Jthanmyfitnesspal Thanks for the link! I am not swimming presently due to needing a new hip. However, in the past (1.5 years ago), my Fenix 5 was very accurate and I could see my swim mapped out. GPS starts when you set it to open water. It helped me see my track and let me know if I strayed in current during ocean races.…

I have the Garmin Fenix 5 and I used it primarily for swimming indoor and open water. I found it to be very accurate with my distance. I did not pay attention to calorie burn at the time. I don't know what calorie numbers you are getting but the more efficient you are in the water, the fewer calories you burn. I can't get…

Happy to see you back here @speyerj. I am sorry to hear about your mom and daughter. Hugs.

I need to stop trying to extrapolate what my numbers will look like by the end of the year... it is just gonna make me crazy! @sandielewis2001 you and your wife are making…

@uyister that is simply amazing! Good job and thank you for sharing how you are doing it!

@girlinkaz You look beautiful before and after. @goal06082021 , @SammiGirl1321 , @CariTJR you all are making amazing progress! So impressive! @goal06082021 ... my brother is an SLP and works with brain injury patients, people with difficulties swallowing and those relearning to speak in the Neuro Dept.. He loves it!

Age: 55 Height: 5' 8" SW: 257.2 GW: 160 MSW: 237.4 5/9 237.8 5/16 237.2 I had a difficult week dealing with a lot of hip pain that brought me down mentally. I also did not move as much as I usually do and my steps suffered. I am feeling a bit better this morning so am hopeful that I will be more active this week. My goal…

@uyister Great news of your NSV! That is exciting that you can wear your beautiful coats again. <3

I am with you @Sand_TIger . I need protein for breakfast... usually eggs. I just feel better throughout the day. I recently had pad thai with tofu. I did not have a large portion but it certainly set me off to wanting more, more, more. My thought is that I am just not used to that many carbs. I have always enjoyed cooking…

Age: 55 Height: 5' 8" SW: 257.2 GW: 160 MSW: 237.4 5/10 237.8 Happy Mother's Day... I hope everyone had a great day!

Thanks @kelMee2 ! You have had a very good month! Great job! @goal06082021 Nice loss! @girlinkaz you are screamin' right along! You all are so inspiring!

@jazzadesigns and @ExerciseExtraFries I started at 257.2 # in January. I have lost 18.4# to date.
