  • Sunday PW: 190.8 CW: 189.4 So sorry this has been such a bad month with travel/family complications/etc, I hope to be checking in more regularly very soon. Apologies again for any inconvenience caused by my sporadic weight reporting, but I definitely want to stay on the team!
  • So behind but...very late weigh-ins for the past weeks (very sorry) Week 1 PW: 190.0 CW: 188.8 Week 2 PW: 188.8 CW: 189.3 Will be weighing in tomorrow to hopefully be back on track.
  • Hi all -- sorry this is so late @jugar, but it is a weight from last Sunday. PW: 190.7 CW: 190.0 I had a tough week for reasons I won't get into, but there was a kind of funny moment on Tuesday. I was upset at work (grad student in a biology research lab) and had basically mentally committed to having a huge binge by the…
  • PW: 192.6 CW: 190.7 Definitely want to start posting more on here soon for days other than weigh ins. Classes for the semester end this week (thank god) so I'll hopefully be less frazzled and more present soon! I haven't been walking to work every day (sometimes busy, sometimes because of weather), but I have been doing it…
  • PW: 195.9 CW: 192.6 (:
  • Hi everyone! I'm Tess, and I'm technically a returner after ages away from this. I didn't do a great job keeping up with things on my first attempt, but since then I've done even worse, gained a lot, and want to turn things around :) I was in a good rhythm around this time two years ago and ended up dropping 50-60lbs over…
  • Hiya - please excuse me from this week if possible. I've been sick for the last week and am still in the thick of it; not ready to add the scale back into the mix. Sorry ):
  • @kellie_erin I agree with what @jugar said. I've hit a lot of setbacks when I try to set weight goals on a timeline...Usually because I get too ambitious, and then any hiccup that throws the goal off track shuts me down. Kind of like "well now I clearly won't be 150 pounds by the time this event rolls around, so I've…
  • PW: 163.0 CW: 160.6 This weight actually *is* from today (not just me being late posting) because I forgot I would be dogsitting this past week and not have access to a scale. So next weighin will be on a very short turnaround lol. I've had a very mentally absent week at work after all the insanity of the month prior, but…
  • PW: 164.4 CW: 163.0 Hi hi. This is twice in a row I've been 3 days late I think, so I'm sorry about that! I have been good about weighing myself on my chosen day, but I have obviously *not* been good about reporting in. This is a crazy crazy week at work so I'm hoping when it finishes (and hopefully all the data looks good…
  • @jugar Really appreciate your take and positive spin on plateaus. I can acknowledge the wisdom...but I don't have to like it!! Haha. I will say that while it is aggravating to shoot up back towards 170 as part of this plateau, it's way less of a fight to get it back down to its current 'stable' weight, which is ~163ish…
  • Sorry for lateness! This weight is from Monday, but I kept losing track of time to log-in and catch up on everyone's posts. PW: 165.9 CW: 164.4 @DD265 I totally feel you on the 'finally finding this hard' concept. I'm also 8ish months in. I was definitely paying super close attention to food and getting a TON of steps in…
  • Monday weighin: PW 168.0 CW 165.9 A good start, but I always 'deflate' pretty well immediately after I stop indulging. I had about a week and a half of binge eating (and felt SUPER gross during), and took my [new] starting weight right after that. Happy that it's coming off but the trick is continuing to drop after the…
  • Hi everyone! I'm one of the new people here as well. I requested your team after clicking through a few of the August chats before I registered, and y'all had great support messages and what I felt were some of the most meaningful interactions (: I'm Tess, and I started focusing on weight-loss (for the millionth time) back…
