Oops! Didn’t mean to post yet, I’m literally falling asleep! Oh well, I’ll keep it short. Trip was a lot of fun and I’m not totally back on track yet, but I’m doing enough to bring my weight back down. Just focusing on progress, not perfection! Starting weight (7/16): 293.8 7/24: 286.4 7/31: 278 July loss: 15.8 August…

I was hoping to break into the 250’s by the end of the year, but as busy as I have been/am going to be I think maintaining around 270 give or take is going to be more attainable. I’ve gotten as low as 265.4, but have immediately gone back up. I was away for All-State Show Choir for a few days 2 weeks ago, then hosted…

Well, it’s been a super busy month! Choir concert, fall break, parent/teacher conferences, musical, football games… definitely have not kept up with tracking and food prep for the last couple weeks. I’ve kept track of my weight though. Mostly been around 270, but I think I might be on the way back down now. I’m only one…

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks over here. I’ve been on fall break this week so lots of socializing which means dining out and adult beverages! I also had a funeral for a student, a choir concert, and an impromptu road trip. The week before we had homecoming (and all the festivities that go with that), a choir festival…

@deepwoodslady i love your color coding for gains and losses as well as crossing off the numbers. I’ve thought about stealing that idea, but I have a hard enough time getting my weekly posts done 😂 I might cross the numbers off on my fridge though… 🤔 It’s so hard to eat well while traveling. My go to for dining out has…

TGIF! I have one more week then I get a week off! But this next week will be busy with choir concert things so just keeping on with my baby steps. Good this week: less Starbucks achieved! I had breakfast at home on Sunday, so only 6 days of Starbucks! 😆 better is better, right? I also food prepped my lunches and cooked…

Happy Friday! (Now Saturday by the time I finish writing this 😂). Mostly positive vibes this week and continuing to focus on small attainable goals that I can accomplish with my work load. Good this week: I met both goals I had set for myself: participate in roller derby scrimmage and go grocery shopping. I made a really…

@Walela617 i get how disheartening it is to do all the right things and not see the change you think you should. Maybe letting yourself “go off the rails” will help your body go back into weight loss mode. It’s weird but I’ve found that sometimes when I have a “treat day” (or a few treat days) my weight might go up a bit…

This was a tough week. I didn’t do the shopping and food prep over the weekend I needed to do to really be ready for the week ahead. I had a field trip on Saturday and got a blowout on the freeway on the way back to school. I was driving the activity bus with 12 students on board so that was fun to deal with! I just had no…

Happy Friday! (well… for another 20 minutes at least!) Good this week: met and exceeded my goal of maintaining my weight, I actually lost another 1.2 pounds so I’m down 20 as of today! Did not go out for lunch at all, I had a protein shake and protein snack tray when I didn’t bring lunch. Had dinner at home every day but…

Happy Labor Day weekend! I’m sitting in an airport in Atlanta desperately trying to make decent food choices! I am without a scale for a few days, so I’m posting yesterday’s weight. Good this week: Met my goal of bringing my lunch every day and only 2 Starbucks visits! I’m on vacation now so if I go today it doesn’t count!…
-
@Walela617 thanks for the words of encouragement! I think the changes I’ve made since that first appointment last month have already helped already, I’ve stayed in range except for that one big spike after my fast food indulgence and a small short lived spike when I had a Clif bar after roller derby practice. When my blood…

It’s been a busy couple of weeks but I’m back! I think I’m going to switch to Friday updates because I am more likely to have time to do it. 😂 Good: I finally broke through my plateau! I’ve been holding right around 280 give or take for about three weeks and yesterday finally had a significant dip on the scale. Even with…

Checking in! (One day late…) Good this week: I’ve managed to mostly keep up with my meal prep, I forgot my lunch last Friday but I went to salad and go so that was a healthy choice. I also had meetings across town Friday and Saturday so a bit more dining out those days too, but I was thoughtful about my choices. I stayed…

Wednesday weigh in/check in! Good this week: staying within my calorie range; meal prepping, treated myself to a lunch out with my department; met the 15 pound goal (15.8) already for my doctor’s appointment. I’ll aim for 20 since I still have 2 and a half weeks. As long as I keep up with this lifestyle change I’ll be…

@Walela617 Hi Carole, I’m curious what scale/app you use. Looks like a lot of useful stats!
-
Checking in early since I reached the 10 lb mark today! My first short term goal was to drop 10 pounds before my follow up with my doctor on 8/19 and since I still have over 3 weeks to go I’m going to aim to be down at least 15 lbs by then. Can I reach 20? Maybe, but I don’t expect to keep up this rate of weight loss going…

I know I’m a bit late to the party, but I figure better late than never! Hi I’m Kristen, 40’s, AZ. I’ve been on MFP and other apps off and on for many years, but I really struggle with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I get really wrapped up in my work (HS choir director) and convenient choices often win out over healthy…

New here and new to whole 30. I'm on day 2. I really want to be done before Memorial Day weekend. I have some challenges coming up such as a day trip for an out of town roller derby game this weekend and a trip to Disneyland with my students in a couple weeks. I'm thinking ahead about how much food I can bring with me to…

I'd like to join! Trying to get to the gym or walk in the mornings before work, but I'm not a morning person at all so maybe this will help keep me on track!

I'm right there with you! i'm about 240 with a goal of 160. i also just started too so feel free to add me if you want.
