Mondays work for me, I usually weigh on Sundays, but can just record it on Monday for here :)

To lose 30lbs in 17 weeks we need an average of 1.8lbs a week. That is an agressive goal, but I am up for a challenge! I am going to just continue to set mini goals for myself to make it seem more reachable. My current mini goal is to lose 7more lbs, that will put me at my lowest weight of my adult life :smile:

I have been overweight my whole life. After my divorce a few years ago I lost 52lbs, going from 230lbs to 178lbs in a short time, but I did it the wrong way by starving myself, so once I started eating more the weight started creeping back on. Before I knew it I had gained back 35lbs. I decided enough is enough. I am not…

Thanks for the morning chuckle, I needed it :drinker:

Thank you for doing this Helen! I am very excited for round 3. This totally helps with motivation. I didn't quite make 10lbs on the other rounds (8.6 & 8.4) but I am pleased with what I did and plan on reaching that 10lb mark this round!!! We've got this :drinker:

That is awesome! Congratulatons :flowerforyou:

Lost 1.2 this week for a total of 8.4 for round 2. Combined with round 1 total of 8.6 and I am down 17lbs since we starting this challenge with all of you awesome folks! Couldn't have done it some days without your support and encouragement, so thank you to all in this group :flowerforyou:

Ready for round 3!

I've been on here for 125 days, still have 48 to lose and then there is maintenance so I don't plan on going anywhere. Feel free to add me, as can anyone else. We can do this :happy:

I'd love to join in! I have 48 more to go.

bump for later

It's important that the neuro be supportive and proactive, so if your not happy or comfortable with that one, find another! My first neuro was so cold and unfeeling of what I needed when newly diagnosed that she was more of a problem than a solution. Found a new one and he was wonderful!

Thanks VeggieKelli for all your support and suggestions!!

Not as much as I would like but the scale is going down…

I have also been having a hard time staying on track this week. Only got to the gym 4 days instead of 6 and couldn't push myself as hard as I have in the past. Plus I ate more calories this week than in the past. I've been battling some sinus problems and I know that contributed but it's no excuse, I slacked. I wish I…

That's awesome, congrats!

This ^^

I used to go back and forth between bike and treadmill, bike always burned more for me, but lately I have added an incline on the treadmill and that just upped the burn on the treadmill higher than the bike and I enjoy it more so that is what I do along with my weight\strength training.

Fantastic job! Very inspiring! You look so happy and your name says it all...JOY!

Yes it does feel good. You are doing awesome too!

Yes I had this in my left leg for months, then it went away, for the most part after 4-5 months of IV Solumed treatments. Now it does come back from time to time in less intense and shorter episodes, that are more of an annoyance and do not require meds. It usually rears it's ugly head when I am tired, stressed or sick.…

This^^ I have been doing it for the last 4 months 6-7x a week, it was hard at first but now I love it, it makes me feel so much more energized throughout the day. I don't even need an alarm to wake up anymore, my body just naturally wakes up at 4:30 now (but I still go to bed at 11-11:30 so I've gotta work on that lol) .…

Congrats on onederland! It's an awesome feeling isn't it!

Congratulations, your hard work paid off. You look amazing and happy. You have a beautiful smile and now have reason to smile more that your health is so much better. Bravo :drinker:

Congrats, that is awesome!

I joined in April and haven't missed a day yet! I totally agree with you that this needs to be a lifestyle change and so far MFP is working for me. I have lost 28 and have 47 more to go, so I am not going anywhere. Love to give and receive support. Anyone can feel free to add me, the more positive friends and support we…
