@GardenQueen30 Thank you so much for sharing vulnerably!! I can so understand that feeling. We DO need to learn to love ourselves, even if our bodies don’t (yet) look exactly the way we want them to. Your body is strong and it sounds like has gotten you through a LOT of hard stuff! Your body is amazing. And you are…

I stepped on the scale for the first time in two weeks and was quite pleased with what I saw. I haven’t seen the 150’s in 3 years! I’ve…

I have walked a LOT this week and gotten in 2 strength workouts. I can tell that I haven’t been working out as…

@GardenQueen30 Welcome!! You totally got this. I generally find the first week or two of a new lifestyle change is the hardest and it gets easier from there. When I was 31, I was 225 lbs and thought that was just the way I was going to be for the rest of my life. Fast forward three years, I’m sitting in the low 160’s and I…

I’ve been hitting…

@pamperedlinny oohh, a Vitamix is my DREAM!!! Congratulations!!! Enjoy all the delicious smoothies and sauces that you can now make! I really want to be a smoothie making queen this summer, but our blender is riding the struggle bus. It’s not quite bad enough to justify getting a new one but also not good enough for me to…

@mmatcha_latte Have you tried doing body scrubs as you are losing? I lost 70lbs in 2021 and did a biweekly body scrub to help my stretch marks calm down and to help with sagging skin. I don’t know if you are a coffee drinker, but I just used leftover coffee grounds from my morning coffee (dried out so they weren’t so wet),…

Hoping I’ll float back down once it’s done.…

@jenhuey01 Great job noticing reduced cravings!! For me, that’s always the hardest part of restarting. Once I can get past the initial “if I don’t have xyz today I will DIE” feeling, I’m usually in the clear for a few months. You got this!!

I’m also pretty sore today from some aggressive…

@jenhuey01 I feel you on the logging taking forever at the beginning! Hang with it and eventually it becomes a habit. You’ll learn how many calories are in different meals, have certain combinations of logging that come more easily, and will just develop a “sense” for how many calories you’ve consumed in a day (if you…

In my opinion, event deadlines can be great as motivation to get in shape but they also can be deadly as we try to develop lifestyle changes instead of crash diets. Not saying that’s what you are doing at all, but I have done a LOT of yo-yoing over the years (highest weight 225, lowest adult weight 135 and everything in…

@skintight303 You got this!! Getting back on track after a slide is the very thing that turns this from a fad into a lifestyle. Life (travel, schedule changes, stress) will always happen but being able to pick ourselves back up and recommit makes all the difference!
