Midterms are done! Spring break has started 🥰 now I really have to get back on track and stop failing myself 😢

Aww a lot of us have had blah weeks 🥰 but we’re still here and starting again!! Pick it up again and rejoin the crowd! It’s not a failure if you keep trying!

Sunday weigh day. Scale says I lost weight. Last weigh in was something like 194 or 195 lbs so with my poor choices I’m pretty surprised in 2 weeks I lost basically 5 lbs. 🤔 I need to go into the doctor office for my monthly weight check so we’ll see how accurate this is 😅

I want chocolate 😭😭😭😭😭 I hate starting and restarting and the negotiation your brain does. Like NO 😡 we do NOT need chocolate 😡

Omg chips and crackers and cookies are the worst!!! They’re so easy to grab one or two and before you know it the whole bag is gone. 😓 Worse you aren’t even all that satisfied or full! My hubby loves crackers and chips specifically, and he brings in cookies for the kids. He knows it is hard for me and he apologizes but he…

Aw surgery sucks and makes losing weight hard! Protein and vitamin C for healing! Good veggies have vitamin C and lots of other vitamins and minerals too so you don’t have to stick with just oranges 😂 And sorry about the panic attacks guys. I have panic attacks too. I understand how it can derail everything. I actually…

@charlottemilton HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎈🎊🎉🎁🎂 Sorry about all the bad stuff going on. Hopefully you caught it early enough that the effects aren’t bad. I got a new scale. I’m reserving weighing myself for Sunday, my regular weigh day. I believe I may have gained by the way my clothes feel...man I go off the rails for a week or two…

@bluffgirl67 eh, it’s the same goal as usual and I think if I stick to it this month being a longer month I should be able to do it...it’s really going to be up to me and my compliance. @aliciap0116 omg I did increase my daily calorie intake and as per usual, allowing myself more was too tempting for me and my inability to…

Scale is still broken 😓 oh well. I’m still here and still hanging on! March is a new month, even though I don’t know how I ended February. Student, mom, perpetually tired. 5’5” SW 283 CW ?? Last weight was something like 196 GW Idk yet. 160 sounds good. BMI indicates 130-140, but that’s been hard for me to maintain in the…

Grrr February just isn’t my month 😡 my scale ... the brand new one ... is broken 😓 so idk where my weight is at right now. Considering my crappy decisions I just can’t see that I’ve done anything better than maintain...dear God, I hope I’ve at least maintained 😥 and school omg school 😨 so much work and I can’t keep up with…

I just wish I could go inside my brain, pull up a chair and ask it what’s going on 😂 Why are we doing this now? We had a successful first two months. We know we can do this. Why are we self-sabotaging?

I love swimming as exercise!!! It’s my hands down favorite form of exercise! Sorry for not being around as much lately! School has been so busy and I have been slipping up too much. Even “little” slips add up so I count them all. I try to pay attention to the quality of the nutrients I eat vs the total number of calories I…

I’ve been overweight since childhood. There are for sure genetics to obesity. My daughter is a chunky girl and has been literally since she was born. We have been battling food obsessive behaviors with her since infancy - which...with infants...what do you do without traumatizing them?? Anyway today’s my weigh in day. You…

Happy Valentine’s Day! I am not behaving myself at all 😭 I need to get back on track before this behavior becomes a habit.

BMI is just one method of measurement and a starting point for assessment of overall health. It’s more than likely why my physicians don’t care if I’m in the overweight category at 160-170 range as long as I maintain good health (i. e. No disease like cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes). BMI literally takes into account…

I’m so exhausted 😩 I ate fast food today. I had a cheeseburger and fries. I am just so tired right now that it’s hard to think clearly. Worse, I can’t nap because I have to watch the kids and study for my exam next week. The good news is I did very well on the exam I took today!

If any of you have Hulu and it’s still on there I highly recommend Weight of the Nation. It’s a fabulous docuseries that focuses on many aspects of weight in America.

I lost 120 lbs once when I was about 21 years old without realizing I would have sagging skin on my arms, legs, and belly. I was devastated and ended up feeling so depressed over my appearance that over time the depression got to me and I gained my weight back. Now, knowing what I know, realizing that this is more about my…

Sorry @cory17! I hate how our bodies change and hormones make our weight fluctuate. I’m not looking forward to it 😭 it’s already hard enough as it is. Keep trying! Keep up your nutrition and don’t give up 🥰 we’re here for you!

Ok Dr visit is done! 7 lb loss since last visit :) he’s pleased. BP is back up but not high, just not where I personally want it to be. I prefer 120/80. The new standards are 110/70 or no higher than 120/80. I consistently run 130/90. Again, if I’d exercise it’d help my heart to pump stronger and my vascular system would…

** adding, that 2 liters is accumulated through food and drink

@Savannah80 why 3 liters of water? That seems like a lot of water. When someone is dehydrated they are usually put on 3-4 liters of IV fluids a day. Most people only need about 2 liters daily to maintain normal body systems. Are you flushing it all out? No swelling anywhere like hands or feet? I wonder if some of what you…

@BorutoTeam I honestly have no motivation to exercise. I get done with school and chasing kids and my body is worn out even with very minimal use. I know my vascular and respiratory systems could use the extra work to build up som resilience and endurance so exercise is regularly on my mind. Additionally, for those who are…

Holy moly so many posts 😳 I can’t keep up!! Foam fest sounds fun. Everyone please take care of yourselves. Weight fluctuates daily so weigh weekly or less frequently for more accurate results, and I hate hunger too 😭 yesterday I ended up with a bit of a binge and not even food I really wanted. It could have been better. I…

I hate that I stress eat 😭 I’ve done really well the past two months and haven’t Finn in binged like a maniac (which is my normal mode of action during stress), but I have yet to find a healthy outlet for the stress. I’m just so busy that all my time is filled up with other things and the stress just remains to carry over…

Weigh in day 😓 Nothing to report today because I changed out scales and it actually showed I gained weight. I know it’s not true because my clothes are looser and my old scale shows a 1+ lb loss so I just posted no loss in MFP for now until it balances out. Goals this month: 1 lb a week = 4 lbs for the month Eat fewer…

Welcome new people!!!!! Let’s crush February like it’s only month #2 😂

Hello month of LOVE 🥰😍😘💕💖💝 Just wanted to say a quick hello before I make an official post. I’m sitting in my car getting ready to drive home 😁 My goal is always the same. 1lb a week so my goal is 4 lbs. We got this ladies 💪

@Queenshavemuscles exercise is helpful and good for our bodies, but the bulk of our weight loss and gain comes from our intake. The amount of calories burned through exercise (for most people) doesn’t add up to a significant enough amount to create the deficit we need to continue eating the way we do. Therefore, in order…

Ok so for my January recap: I weigh on Sundays and the end of the month lands on a Friday so I’m going to go with my last weigh in’s result. Start 200 lbs End 195.6 lbs Goal: 4 lbs Met? Yes December was so amazing (15 lb loss) that I’m both disappointed and not a bit surprised that this month was only 4.4 lbs. I am…
