  • JodiSW Weigh-In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight):171 CW (Current Weight): 165.4 LTD: 3.4 Losing some bloat! yay! I hope everyone's well. I teach at a community college and this week is the first day of the quarter. It's always a bit like being shot out of a cannon (or how I imagine that would be) and yet I persevered with…

  • Hey everyone! I didn't post last week but I'm still working on it. I love the picture someone posted that said, "I want to see what happens if I don't give up." This getting/staying healthy is a long game. 2021 HW: 202 Nov SW: 173.1 Dec SW: 169.9 Jan SW: 169 Original Challenge Weight: 158 Overall GW: 140 Weekly…

  • Megan, thank you! I think I'll do 10K then. I'll probably post weekly when I do my weigh in. This is motivating. :)

  • And my weekly weigh in. :/ Username: JodiSW Weigh In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight):168.8 CW (Current Weight): 171.0 ?!?! I can tell I'm retaining a lot of water right now...salt? carbs? I don't know but I've got those fabric lines all over my body every time I stand up. Ugh. Next week will be better!

  • January was a bit damp until today. AF! I'm going to check out the Alcohol Experiment - I appreciate all the references to that, I'd never heard of it. And now, when I feel like drinking, I'm just gonna look down at my socks and think about ya'll. :)

  • 1. Tell us about yourself. Hey everyone. Wow! I'm not on the boards a few days and 6 pages! Happy 2022. I'm 53 in the typically beautiful but recently freezing cold Pacific Northwest. I'm married, but we have a long distance thing and so it's just me and my dog 5 or 6 days a week (she's an almost 5 year old Husky/Shepherd…

  • Starting point for January! Weigh in day: Friday PW: 172.6 (last Friday) CW: 168.9 I lost some holiday bloat the past few days - retaining a lot of water from the sugar and the alcohol and the salt. In December, I lost .1 lb. I'm happy with not gaining, but it does put me behind on my personal targets...and there's nothing…

Hoping to keep that trend over the next week...but dang. Looking over the month, a 1lb loss?! I guess it's better than a gain and I suppose, given how loose I've played it, it's…

  • Hi everyone. I'm new to this group but have seen your postings in other months. In August, I cut way back on my alcohol consumption, primarily because I'd started drinking a lot out of habit and I know it contributed to me gaining about 50lbs over the last few years. Because I've cut back, I realize now how much it impacts…

  • Whaaaaat? That's amazing! Swimming is such good exercise! I've taken lessons three times - I just don't seem to be able to get the "stroke, stroke, turn your head, breathe, kick your feet, stroke..." thing down. I suspect that I look like a monkey that someone tossed off of a boat. Not that I think anyone should ever toss…

  • Hi everyone! Thanks for having me in your group. I'm feeling pretty motivated but it comes and goes - I think that being part of an active group will help with that and keep me accountable. I lost about 95lbs over a decade ago and I've found 50lbs of it again over the past 4 years. In August I decided that enough was…

  • And I don't know how to edit my post above, but wanted to add that I was feeling pretty "cravey" when I wrote that. Parsing out those targets really helped me stay on track! I'm glad to have a place to do it.

  • Hi everyone! I know it's December 1 - hope it's cool if I jump in. I'm looking for ways to hold myself more accountable. I lost close to 100lbs (which sounds crazy to me now since I can't even LIFT 100lbs) about 10 years ago. Over the last 4 or 5 years it crept up about 50. Yikes! I started being really mindful again in…

Indeed, negative outcomes have been demonstrated in…
