Weigh In Username: GingerPwr PW: 134 CW: 135.5 Considering that it got as high as 137 a couple days ago, I'm not upset. Review of yesterday: Food: Ate on plan - actually, I am averaging around 1100 - 1200 calories daily, but I think I'm going to up that to 1300 - 1400 since I'm exercising a lot. It's hard to make myself…

@bburrer30 Those are great June goals, and I'm glad that day 1 went well! @CassieGetsFit2013 That's so terrible! I hope you can figure out a solution for your other dogs. @danisp - Awesome burn! I really like Hiit (Not WHILE I'm doing it, but after I feel really accomplished :) ). Thanks, everyone for your encouragement…

Awesome Challenge! June 1: 52:24

@kenzierenzieroo - I spent several years only getting a few hours sleep at night. Have you tried melatonin or CBD oil? Maybe doing light yoga before bed might help you stay asleep? @melaniedscott - "Ate the world" - that's such a funny but all too true phrase. We all have those days. You'll get through it! Keep up the…

@melaniedscott Hello and welcome! I love my walks too, but when it's raining, I like to put on a Leslie Sansone video on You Tube - I got introduced to her by people in this group - the videos are easy and you stay in a good fat burn zone pretty much the whole time. Here's a link to her channel:…

Hi everyone! I'm Casey, and I've been with this amazing group since late December 2018. When I joined, I was at my heaviest - somewhere between 165 and 170lbs. Thank goodness for everyone in this group. There's so much support here! Since starting I've lost 30lbs! So personal info: I live outside of Charlotte, NC. Hubs and…

@sleepymom5 Yes! Fitness Blender lets you filter through the workouts by ability level, plus they usually show you modifications for their more intense exercises. That 8 week program I just got also has separate beginner level workouts for the first 2 weeks as well. The husband and wife pair behind fitness blender are…

@sleepymom5 Your houseplant post is totally me! I only have succulents indoors right now. @Mrsbell8well Your food pics are sooooooo delicious! I've only cooked with tofu once because I live in a family of avid meat eaters. I made a tofu dish and thought they were going to disown me. Lol. @nstephen01 Evening and late night…

I gained most of my weight in my 30s as well. I was convinced I had a thyroid issue, but nope. I was just shoveling too much junk in my face and my metabolism had decided to take a vacation. I think @CeeBeeSlim gave you lots of great advice - especially about the food scale - Once I went from estimating to actually…

@pacsnc6 You are rocking this. I hate that you have to face this, but I so admire your strength and positivism. I'm rooting for you! Wednesday Weigh in Username GingerPwr PW 135.5? (can't remember if that half pound was there or not) CW 134 Had a berry smoothie for breakfast, some soybean pasta with sauteed veggies for…

@Mrsbell8well Angelina, you've been my self-appointed "weight loss twin" since I joined this wonderful group. You've been such an inspiration to me, and you continue to be so with how open and honest and human you allow yourself to be here! I know that lock-down stress is contributing to a lot of us overeating, simply…

Last week I finished a Fitness Blender 5 day workout challenge. Also had cake on our anniversary and didn't gain weight!

Yesterday I ate to plan well enough to have a little treat - I had a small bag of cheddar and sour cream chips! It's the little things. Today I've had a jog, but I had a fat-heavy breakfast of scrambled eggs and Italian sausage. Luckily, I'm planning to have big dinner salads tonight, and I don't have to throw any extra…

Catching up! Hope everyone had a great weekend! After doing a 5 day challenge on Fitness Blender, I took Saturday and Sunday off of exercise, except for a quick mile walk using a Leslie Sansone video yesterday. Maybe the weather is contributing to this slump? We've had rain almost every day for two weeks.…

Sorry I've been less than active online today. It's our 21st anniversary! Got up this morning and did my fitness blender workout. Then hubs and I went to play golf. Now we're headed over the state line to have dinner in an actual restaurant. WHAAAT?!?! Lots of love to everyone today!! Finish the week strong!!

@pacsnc6 I happy that you're not suffering the nausea! How would BP meds give you a cough? I hope you'll be okay without them! @Freeglerock Did I congratulate you on your loss already? I can't remember but CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That's awesome! @nstephenson01 Your dinner sounds great - especially the smoked cheese portion.…

Wednesday Weigh in Username: GingerPwr PW: 135.5 CW: 135.5 I'm not upset at this. I've been working out a lot and yesterday was strength training, plus I don't think I had enough water. It's weird, but if I exercise a lot or really intensely, then I end up not losing as much weight as if I do moderate exercise. Now that…

@Freeglerock I love that you spent time with your kidlet and got a good workout in! What a great way to love and take care of yourself! Way to take your bad experiences and turn your day around!

@nstephenson01 Beautiful plants! We just re-landscaped the front so we're going for a garden next spring. Can't wait! @Freeglerock How cool that you are reaching out to us instead of leaning on food! Way to go! You're right to just keep breathing through things. You've got this. Perhaps the trick is to redefine what…

One of the sweetest guys on this site!

Yay you! How was it?

@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx That is crazy to think that you would be considered "overweight" in your thin picture. The number on the scale doesn't equate to our value OR our health. Thank you for that reminder! Okay, my plans are posted for the day, and I just had a delicious breakfast of poached eggs and toast. Now to exercise,…

I ran two out of the three miles I completed today. I've never had the endurance to run an unbroken mile before, but today I ran the first and third miles without a walking interval.

Absolutely amazing and sweet guy!

@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx You look so peaceful and happy on the beach! It's so great your favorite place is so close. And nice loss too! @Freeglerock I liked Body Pump when I went to my old gym. Always felt sore but very strong afterward. The scale isn't going the direction I'd like, but I'm recognizing that life outside of…

@Zumba_Luvah Great loss! Wow - I missed so much over one day. Yesterday was great but emotional. Our seniors got their caps and gowns yesterday, and I was able to be there to help take pictures. As they drove through the pick-up line, they stopped, put their caps on, and we took their pictures while they were still in…

@KUMEcyclingteam I am a sucker for bacon too! Love your meal prep! @Freeglerock Great goals for the week! I also have a problem with going overboard with the alcohol. You've got this! Wednesday Weigh In Username: GingerPwr Week 2 PW: 137 CW: 135.5
