SW: 311 POUNDS CW: 280.6 30 POUNDS LOST (TODAY!!!) ======================================= NEXT GOAL: 40 POUNDS LOST (271) I am about 5 weeks out from going to California. I have started doing cardio every day and have discovered I actually enjoy it! (That's new B) ). So far I'm on track to get to my Cali-Mini-Goal of 270…

So this last weekend was Mother's Day and my birthday...I never realized how people assume rewarding or treating me with food (as a gift) is the best way to show their love or appreciation to me. I knew extra food would be on the menu for the weekend so I had planned for it, but in a way I'm sad. Over the next year I know…

Currently I am about 6 weeks out from going to California. I have increased my workouts and decreased my calories. This is a temporary push toward looking my best on vacation. After that I will take a week long diet break where I eat at maintenance and resume my normal workout schedule of 4 days a week. So my mini goal is…

My husband and I just decided to go to my son's Marine MOS graduation in California in late June. It's out in the desert so we are looking at 100 degree days! I don't know about y'all but I want to feel comfortable wearing summer clothing..............so mini goal is I have been doing the elliptical every day for the last…

SW: 311 lbs CW: 284 lbs (down 3# in April) UGW: 144 lbs What is working: Heavy lifting with .5 to and hour 45 mins of cardio 3-5xWeek. Consistently logging my food...every single bite (even a lifesaver) Using my Samsung Gear Fit 2 watch to remind me to get up and move every hour. Drinking a gallon of water a day Eating…

Honestly, I just like the little maps that MMR makes of my run/walk/hikes.

I weigh every day...and before someone howls at me...I don't freak out when my weight fluxuates. I like to know the rhythm of my weight over the month. The scale is just a tool, just like food, exercise, measurements. And I do weight everyday (and sometimes before I got to bed) for this reason

I might eat 100 or so back but I plan my meals based on my Macronutrient count I want for the day and only eat over those cals if I am truly hungry. I use a Gear Fit 2 (Samsung watch) to track my workouts and steps for the day. It is very comparable with my older (very accurate) Polar Watch with the chest strap heart rate…

I am working toward being in the 270s by my birthday. (5/14) Right now I'm at 284.2# So my goal is in sight.

What kind of pet? I hope you can exercise with it. :smiley: You can always run with a dog, or do yoga with a reptile, cats love stretching and need play. You can make part of your workout keeping your pet healthy too.

Yesterday, I had to put the wedding band I upsized to back in the jewelry box and put on a smaller ring! That has never happened before! ~~•dancing•~~

I was getting really frustrated and then I started using the YOGA for my weightlifting workouts...it seems counterintuitive but that setting works.

Kettlebells are my jam too!

This week my HIIT exercise of choice is pushing a standard football sled with 135# pounds. You push it and run as hard and fast as you can for 50 feet then if you can still breathe push it back to where you started. Be sure to have something to drink on hand so you don't puke. >:)

Also I am sorry that you feel let down by your friend. >>>>HUG<<<<

One of my two best friends is a classically trained nutritionist. And I can tell you that when a person has gone through graduate school the way they think afterward is rarely changed...I won't speak for all people, just in my experience that my friend has had a very hard time getting past what she was taught by the…

The main way I emotionally eat is when I'm angry or stressed because of work conflicts...Dang! I can decimate a pizza, or a full bag of pizza rolls, or a bucket of fried chicken...OMG. When I'm pissed I let the monster out of the cage and eat like bear getting ready for winter. :( I don't do this as much anymore. I do try…

I used the sum of 3 different macro/calorie calculators...Scooby http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ IIFYM https://www.iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ and Calorie King http://www.calorieking.com/interactive-tools/how-many-calories-should-you-eat/ . I added up all three of the results then divided by three to get my…

Hi, My name is Lisa and I am currently working toward some big goals. First to lose 100+pounds and Secondly to do the Ouachita Trail (223 mile) Hike. My Dr. say's I'm the fittest heavy person he knows of...all good on triglycerides, sugar, BP, and cholesterol. So I'm good to go on working out as hard as I want. I do a lot…

Thinking less of myself Assuming the worst Move more at the office Being Shy in the gym

Right now I do have to count every nugget...but I am right there with you. It is STRESSFUL for those of us that cook from scratch (not faux scratch with a box of this added to a can of that) with real ingredients. I do the effort of making my recipes through the app but it take dedication...and sometimes, dang it, I really…

I'm working on the march of time myself. I have an overall goal of running a marathon the year I turn 45. So are you using WW again or is your plan to try something different?

It might not be a bad idea to get a second opinion or at least see a nutritionist.

THIS...I have an Enell and it is like Fort Knox for your girls.
