Hi @lauren_989! My weigh-in last week was: 188.4 Today (CW) is: 187.4 I’ve been fluctuating the same 2 lbs since November, but that is fine with me with all of my work travel, holidays, gatherings, and sheer number of hours worked. I know I need to get back into my groove of my workout regime, which has fallen off because…

Hi everyone. I am so sorry that I missed several weeks in a row. MFP’s notifications are not working for me, which have been a little frustrating, I’d love to know if someone has tips on how to get those working again. Also, I have been incredibly busy with work and I had some personal travel plans last week and then came…

PW: 187.8 lb CW: 185.8 lb I’m happy to see the scale move, but not so happy with my exercise regiment. This week was tough. Only one day of working out before I had 12+ hour days with challenging meetings. With all my meetings, I didn’t have much time to snack, and I was exhausted so I went to bed as soon as I got home…

@lauren_989 - Good luck to your husband and his follow up appointment tomorrow! For me, I guess suggestions on how to get movement in when my days are jammed with work would be helpful.

PW: 186 CW: 187.8 Honestly, I am pleased with this overall given the week I had. I drove about 4 1/2 hours on Monday to get to my first location for an in-person meeting with a team I support. We were in a meeting all day on Tuesday so very little time to move. I did workout on Tuesday morning though, ahead of my meeting.…

Hi everyone! Sorry I am late; @lauren_989 - can I change my weigh in day to Saturday? PW: 189 CW: 186 October was a month where I plateaued. And, it made sense. I pulled a muscle in my back, and I was unable to work out for about a week, I had a lot of travel during the month, and a lot of social events. It was hard not to…

Sorry for missing weigh-in last week; we were super busy and then I pulled a muscle in my back. PW: 188.2 CW: 189.0 I was only just able to get one workout in this week on Friday when my back finally felt good enough to do some movement. I don’t feel 100% yet, but definitely a lot better, so I also have spin class this…

PW: 189.4 lbs CW: 188.2 lbs The renaissance faire last weekend was a lot of fun! One of my friends and I bought ourselves tiaras that are just gorgeous. I also bought new D&D dice that are made from a metal. My husband did end up buying a turkey leg for lunch, which was his one goal for the faire. Now that my cold is…

PW: 189.8 lbs CW: 189.4 lbs Sorry for missing last week’s weigh-in! I was traveling for work at the beginning of the week, returned home for one day, and then my husband and I were on the road to head out to a music festival. I also ended up getting a small cold in between as well, that was manageable and didn’t get in the…

PW: 190.2 lbs CW: 189.8 lbs A smaller loss than I was expecting with a great week of eating and workouts, but I will take it. I don’t think I have seen a 18- on the scale since 2022, so that was very encouraging! This upcoming week, I have a work trip so I will do my best with the food choices I will have through the…

Happy Friday! PW: 191.2 lbs CW: 190.2 lbs Coming off a week of eating half a doughnut for dessert almost every night (or two halves) and it being TOM for me, this was a pleasant surprise. I stuck to my workout plan with strength training, and I have spin class tomorrow and yoga on Sunday. I ended up not going to my cooking…

Good morning! PW: 191.8 lbs CW: 191.2 lbs Apologies for the late post; yesterday was a busy day. A short week of work really felt like the longest week for me 😅 A great week of workouts - Wednesday was my rest day, and I did strength workouts on the other days of the week. I have my spin class this morning followed by…
-
PW: 192.6 lbs CW: 191.8 lbs Sorry for the late post! Friday was a hectic day for me with work and non-stop meetings from 8:30-4pm. This past week tested me quite a bit. When we got back from our little weekend getaway, I was slightly up, but then as we moved through the week, the number continued to rise, and I started to…
-
PW: 193.8 lbs CW: 192.6 lbs Overall, a good week for me! Spin and yoga over last weekend felt great to be back in it. I rested on Monday after we stayed up late on Sunday, and then I worked out Tuesday - Thursday with the final week of Sydney’s Summertime Fine program. I have 2 workouts to go until I complete the program!…

Hello all! I am back from vacation and a very hectic and busy first week back at work. Sorry for the late post! CW: 193.8 lbs. Not bad considering the many nights of eating out on vacation and then a wedding. I didn’t do as well with working out this week (just felt so tired), but I have a spin class this morning and a…

Hi! I am actually on vacation and don’t have access to a scale for this week and next week. Can I take a mini-break and come back to weigh in on August 16th?
-
PW: 193.4 lbs CW: 193.2 lbs Not the best week for me or my pup. He ended up having quite a few accidents in the house, so we have been feeding him plenty of bland food and prebiotics per the guidance of the vet. He’s only just started to show signs of getting back to his normal routine. Then I wasn’t feeling very well…

Thank you! I was very consistent with my workouts, walking my dog in the morning before the heat, and snacks throughout the day. I have been living for protein bars, light string cheese, and fruit as snack options.
-
PW: 196.0 lbs CW: 193.4 lbs Happy Friday! I’m a little exhausted from yesterday due to the pup not feeling well and having accidents inside the house. I’m going to work from home today, just to make sure I am around in case he needs to go out. Hoping to find some energy this morning for my workout that I have planned.

@cleaneater80 - We have central air in our house that we had installed last year after a summer of window units. It’s the best decision we made to stay cool. I’ve been taking my dog for walks in the mornings on the hot days so that he can get some exercise in during a cooler time of the day. Also, my workouts are in the…

Monday check-in! New week and renewed motivation 😊 The weekend was a lot of fun between seeing family to going to the movies to see the new movie, Thelma. Absolutely hilarious! Everyone in the theater was laughing the whole time. I think it might be one of my favorite movies of the year so far. It’s a limited release but…
-
PW: 195.8 lb CW: 196.0 lb Sorry for the late post! This feels right for me for the week. On Monday and Tuesday I was on target with my goals and did both of the workouts I wanted to do. I did fairly well at the work dinner on Wednesday by taking small amounts of food since we ate family style and had a lot of options to…

Happy Monday all! I have a busy week with lots of social events involving food: 1. I have a work meeting in the city, which means a catered lunch and a dinner out with the team afterwards. 2. I also have potentially a night out with friends for Korean BBQ. 3. I have a family reunion this weekend at a restaurant. 4. We are…

@smcewen99 - I’ve been working out for years, so for me, the easiest part is finding something you love to do, and then it doesn’t feel like a chore. There will be days where you don’t feel motivated, but those will be fewer if you find exercise or movement you love. The second thing for me is getting it done in the…

Hi everyone, I am Chelsey and I live in Rhode Island. My husband and I have a dog who we spoil every chance we can. I’ve been successful with weight loss in the past, going from my highest of over 220lbs to my lowest of 163lbs and I remind myself it’s about consistency. In June, I started to see a downward trend in my…

@MaddawgMadsen - That is great to hear about your PTO and raise negotiations! I hope that the biopsy goes well. @ashleycarole86 - 45KM still sounds like it will be quite the challenge; good luck with that! @lauren_989 - Those photos are so beautiful! It looks like you had great weather for the beach, and glad to hear that…
-
@Kali225 - I love Wingspan! The artwork is so beautiful. I ordered that game designer’s new game, Undergrove, that will be about mushrooms. Fingers crossed it’s just as good! This weekend was indulgent (within reason), but in the best possible way to celebrate my birthday. Karaoke was so much fun, and then the dinner at…

Happy Friday! PW: 197 lbs CW: 196 lbs I am so thrilled to see the scale move three weeks in a row. 😊 It feels like I am finally hitting a groove. Tomorrow is my birthday, so I’ve made a bit of a weekend out of it. I’m doing karaoke and dinner with close friends tonight, and then a beach day tomorrow. The restaurant we’re…

Happy Monday! My snacking tips went pretty well on Saturday overall. I broke my thoughts down into 2 categories: 1) Is my stomach hungry? 2) Is my mouth hungry? The first speaks to true hunger - the rumbles, the gurgles, etc. that our stomachs can make when we are hungry. The second speaks to cravings. Both can happen at…

PW: 198.0 lb CW: 197.0 lb Well, that Wednesday workout I was procrastinating on…. I did on Thursday. 😂 I remind myself though that the important thing is that I did still complete it and swapped my rest days. It was a good challenging workout for sure. I am also so happy it is Friday. I am taking Thursday and Friday off…
