Lost one pound after stepping on the scale at work this morning. As my coworker keeps saying, "This is a marathon, not a sprint..". I knew that the first week where I lost five pounds was an anomaly so this just motivates me to keep going and make it through Thanksgiving without falling completely apart food-wise.

Worked from home yesterday so I couldn't weigh in with my coworkers. Just stepped on the scale and I lost another pound. I was hoping for more but as my friend says, "It's a marathon..not a sprint.." I'll take the lost pound and use it as motivation!

Morning all! My remote days this week are all screwy louie because of Thanksgiving so I'm home today missing our work challenge weigh in day. Really going to try and stay on track this week but I do plan on enjoying turkey day...haha. Have a great day everyone!

Working from home today. Not one of my normal days but Thanksgiving is throwing off my schedule. I'm a little stressed out because it's our weigh in for our work 10 week challenge and I'm missing it. My scale here at home isn't synced up to the one at work so I have no real clue what I may have lost this week. And I'm…

Working from home is really hard. I broke my fast at 11am but now I'm starving and don't want to keep eating but water isn't helping right now.

@dogwalker157 Ooooh...we are hoping to move to Maine eventually too!! It's our favorite place. Great job staying within your calorie goal...but BOOO to tooth pain. I hope that's sorted out soon.

@ddsb1111 Went for a mile walk at lunch and when I was coming back, one of my coworkers who is also in the weight loss challenge saw me and said, "Stop! You're making us all look bad!" with a laugh. I said, "I'm not trying to make you look bad..I'm trying to make myself look better!" Each day this is getting easier and…

@ddsb1111 Thank you so much! I ended up being the biggest loser in our weigh in on Monday. Total of 5 pounds lost last week. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and after I told her about the challenge and what I'd lost she said, "That deserves a hug!" I left the office on cloud 9. :) Still fasting every day from 7pm to…

Morning all! Back in the office today. It's so much easier to stay on plan when I'm here. Not as many temptations as there are at home. Supposed to be around 60 degrees here in Massachusetts so I'm hoping to go for a longer walk at lunch today. @HASWLRS Sometimes you have to just work the calories in and move on. The point…

@joandumas42 Awesome job!! My doctor almost started crying when I told her I'd lost 5 pounds last week and hugged me. That's what is keeping me going today. o:)

Good morning! Working from home today. Doctor's appointment at 11:15. First time in a long time that I'm not dreading stepping on the scale because I know it's moving in the right direction. @haswlrs Boo for fickle scales. No harm in trying new batteries! @dogwalker157 Just one step (literally) at a time. You got this! Now…

That's hilarious just because it's not..hahahaha!!

That's all you can do. Try. <3

@joandumas42 I've had to just stop drinking altogether because I have zero willpower if it's in the house. ..lol!

I've heard that one too and it still cracks me up!!! Thank you! :D

@HASWLRS Thank you! Definitely motivated to keep going. Checking in here has really helped me with my accountability! <3

Morning all! I'm still flying high from my scale victory yesterday and am more motivated than ever to get this thing done. @HASWLRS So excited for you that you're sooo close to Onederland! Cheering you on from Massachusetts!

Thank you Joan! Great job on your loss this morning!

Yuck Peanut butter and bananas

We did our weigh-in at work for the 10 week weight loss challenge and I was the biggest loser this week!!! I'm down 5 pounds! I know that most of that is water weight but it's still motivating. :smiley: SW (11/6/2023): 214 CW (11/9/2023 unofficial since we're all weighing in on Mondays): 212 11/13/2023: 209

@HASWLRS My coworkers and I are doing a 10 week weight loss challenge and we're weighing in on Mondays. And I LOST 5 POUNDS this week! I was the biggest loser for the first week! I'm so excited (even though I know a lot of it was water weight but still..haha)!

Morning all! We're weighing in at work this morning so fingers crossed that the loss I'm seeing on my home scale translates to the work one..haha. I definitely have more energy so that's wonderful. Great job @HASWLRS and @joandumas42 !

I'm trying 16:8 too, but only during the week. Then on the weekends, I'm just making sure that I'm drinking a ton of water and not going overboard with eating. You got this!!!

Thank you so much! We're weighing in today so I'll let you all know how it goes! Been really trying to stay on point and so far, I'm not sick of salads yet...haha!

Jumping in late but here we go! My coworkers and I started a 10 week weight loss challenge this past Monday and I'm bound and determined to win the pool...or at least not come in last...haha. I'm basically just drinking a ton of water, eating veggies for snacks and following a 16/8 intermittent fast schedule. I've been…

My coworkers and I started a 10 week weight loss challenge this week and would love to help encourage you too!

I've started back on the wagon this week and have been trying to intermittent fast. I've been fasting for 16 hours and then have an 8 hour window that I can eat. I've purposely made it so that I'm not eating after 6:30-7:00pm. It's hard but knowing I can eat before that time helps immensely. Feel free to friend me! We got…

I mean, I still feel like I'm in my 30s so don't feel bad..lol!
