Hey guys I am going to step away from the challenge for a bit. I’m overwhelmed with work and just don’t have time for the regular check ins. Plus, the up and down fluctuations in the scale are making me crazy. I think I will be better with checking the scale once or twice a month and focusing more on how the clothes are…

Username: Ka97 Weigh in week: 3 Weigh in day: Friday Previous weight: 156.2 Current weight: 154.4. 🤷‍♀️

Username: Ka97 Weigh in week: 2(?) Weigh in day: Friday Previous weight: 155.6 Current weight: 156.2 So last week was awful and the scale stayed the same. This week I’ve been right in with eating and exercise...and the scale goes up. Go figure 😖. I guess it takes a week for scale to catch up.

Hey guys! I'm struggling to keep up with the posts, but I am trying. Actually I'm struggling to keep up with everything, but just focusing on one day at a time. So far this week I've stuck to the plan, both with eating and exercise. It's hot and humid today, but I did my run and going to kickboxing class soon.

Week 1 weigh in Username: ka97 Weigh in week 1 Weigh in day: Saturday (usually Friday) PW: 155.6 CW: 155.6 Surprised and relieved it didn't go up - it's been a tough week.

@AustinRuadhain @raleighgirl09 Thanks @steplaj Westford/Chelmsford. You from MA? I forgot to weigh in tomorrow. I'll do it tomorrow. Last night was our school open house. It was a long day. I just barely managed to drag myself out of bed this morning. I swear it felt like I never even left the building! I was tired but…

Hi guys! I'm a little late checking in. We are just into our second week of school, and life is just crazy and overwhelming right now. September is always tough, and then usually by about mid October things start to settle down. So, yes, I'm a teacher. I teach special ed in Massachusetts - elementary aged children with…

Weigh in week: Week 4 Weigh in day: Fri PW: 157 CW: 155.6 I think maybe my scale is broken :o Seriously though, it was a nice surprise after two weeks of hell dealing with injuries and the start of the school year. But I'm not going to get too excited until I see the trend stick for at least another week.

Username: ka97 Weigh in week: 3 Weigh in day: Friday PW:158.6 CW:157.0 Still up from pre-vacation but I'll take it. Actually, it was better than I was expecting. Both the knee (IT band) and shoulder have been hurting the last couple of days. Not good :s . It's like one step forward, 5 steps back :s .

I’m struggling 😖. Sadly it’s a sign of what the next month is going to look like. Back to school is always tough - there’s so much to do, not enough time to do it, and spending all day in that hot room is exhausting. I had hoped to be down 5 pounds but September, but after vacation that doesn’t look like it’s going to…

Monday check-in I had a busy weekend, and quite frankly I've been exhausted. I stuck to Sunday's plan for spin class and lifting, but it was tough and I could tell my body was fatigued. Today was a planned rest day, at least exercise-wise. No morning alarm and slept until almost 7:30 :) ! Then spent the day working in a…

I think I thought to post my weigh in 😖. Is this week 3? PW 156.6 CW 158.6 Damn vacation!

Oh crap I forgot it was weigh in day! I’ll do it tomorrow morning. Went to the ropes course and then workout group yesterday - killer workout day. Today was a planned rest day. I worked in the classroom, and spent a couple of hours covering up half a wall with colored duck tape . (Making a “bullitan board” on the wall…

@UTMom81 Happy Anniversary! @leonadixon congrats on the move! @Kres567 I might check out that pelaton app! I enjoy spin class, but sometimes its tough to get there for a scheduled class. @TeresaW1020 wow, so much going on! I'm impressed with how you are holding it all together! @notsolazylisa yeah, I know that feeling :(…

Hi guys! I'm back from vacation and ready to get back on track. I feel like I'm at day one all over again :s I had a cortisone shot before going on vacation, so tonight's workout will be my first real test of how the shoulder is holding up. The good news is that I've got two weeks until the first day of school, and the…

Hi guys Just a quick check in to catch up. I’m away at the lake - mostly relaxing but have done some kayaking and walking to explore the area. I’ll be back late on Sunday, so will miss Fridays weigh in. Food intake hasn’t been too bad but there has been lots of wine. I’ll try to catch up when I get back!

Username: ka97 Weigh in week:Week 5 Weigh in day: Fri PW: 157.8 CW: 156.6 Finally some scale movement! And now I go on vacation 😖. I’m leaving tomorrow and will be back Aug 11, so I will miss the first Aug weigh in - hope that is ok!

Daily check in Weekend - didn’t log food but at least managed to avoid any extra junk food with the kids. There was wine and beer though. Ran both Fridayand Saturday, w eat to the ropes course Sunday, plus lots of just running around with the 5 year old. Monday - haven’t gotten back into the food logging 😖 but everything…

Niece and nephew are visiting for the weekend. Goals: get some sort of a workout each day, and avoid eating any of the “kid food”. 😳 So far so good.....🤞🏼

Struggling and fighting to just keep going.....haven’t been logging food, but weighing everything and have been very mindful about keeping with the usual foods. Tuesday Calories - should be under, nothing out of the ordinary Exercise - lifting + workout group Wednesday - should be under, nothing out of the ordinary (yet)…

Is it possible to skip this weeks weigh in and just go with last weeks weight? I don’t think I can emotionally handle TOM weight right now. 😢

@leonadixon I hear ya! Sounds like we have some similar experiences. After losing 60+ pounds and getting in great shape, I’ve now got 20lbs to lose again - started with ankle surgery and has gone downhill since turning 49 🙁 @Katmary71 enjoy the camping trip! @19shmoo69 What a great whoosh!!!!

Username: ka97 Weigh in week:Week 3 Weigh in day: Fri PW 157.2 CW 157.8 Haven’t had a great week so wasn’t really expecting to see a loss. Still it’s frustrating that three weeks in and I’ve got little to show for it.

Oh wow, so much catching up to do 😳...... Weekend: -Social events both Saturday and Sunday. I managed the food well, but not the alcohol. In the end I don’t think it was as bad as it could have been, and was close to breaking even when taking into account exercise. -Saturday workout group - Sunday ropes course - actually…

Totally have been there, pretty much this entire year. Go ahead and complain if it helps. I totally get it. I’m sure many of us titoly get it.

Yeah I was early 30s. Granted my starting point was much higher than it is now, but I still feel like it has been just so much harder than I remember. Or maybe I’m just more impatient now. I don’t know. I do know that the 40s really suck!

weekly weigh-in Username: ka97 Weigh in week: 2 Weigh in day: Friday Previous weight: 157.6 Current weight: 157.2 WTF I have been on point with my eating, consistent with my workouts and logging food, my numbers say I should be losing, and yet...... So frustrating. I swear this was so much easier the first time around.

Woohoo!!! Great week! Oh no, so sorry!

Check in Monday - under calories but took the day off from workouts Tuesday Calories under - possibly didn’t eat enough early in the day because I was crazy hungry last night 3 mile run in the heat because I didn’t get up early enough in the morning, plus evening workout group Wednesday So hungry all day! And tired. And…

Daily check in Sunday Calories under Water not so great Morning spin class Monday Calories under with well more than I need left for dinner and a snack Water - not much Exercise - none 🙁. Couldn’t get myself up early enough for a run before work. Then so exhausted after the first day of summer school that I skipped the…
