If I'm frustrated I go for a run/swim/to the gym. The purpose of that is it prevents me from eating my feelings and I'm doing something productive towards my goal. I know water weight/bloatinghappens and weight loss is not linear, but sometimes when I've "gained" my rational self isn't present. So exercise helps.

I'm 5'0. To lose weight I eat 1500-1600. I maintain around 1800-2000 walking 30,000-40,000 steps a day according to my tracker.

I took "susan's" coffee at Starbucks. To be fair, I thought it was mine and wondered why they had made me a venti instead of a grande for 1/2 an hour... until I saw the label.

June 21st: 112.2 Very slow progress still. Hoping for a whoosh. Just have to be patient. And eat better. Yay @rianneonamission ! Glad you got closer than you thought.

June 14th: 112.4 Ugh so slow. So much bloating... my weight chart looks like a heart rate monitor!

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/10/111028115352.htm Not sure how accurate but give a a few different activities after giving a "base" of 120 per half hour for a manual chair going 2 mph on flat ground.

American Eagle fits me, Eddie Bauer also (they often carry short - bonus!) And i tend to throft store browse and just try the maximum amount of garments on at a time. I am also a size 2.. but if in old navy, target or walmart i need a 0.

June 7: 112.7 Progress.. slow but hopefully steady. So busy recently. Which leads to bad eating/no meal prep at times. @rianneonamission I get the munchies too. Hope it goes smoothly and you aren't too far outside your goals!

Height: 5'0 Weight: 113.5 Goal: 110 June Goal: 110 ...and then maintenance. Hmm.

Height: 5'0 Starting Weight: 118.4 GW: 110 May GW: 114 May 8th weigh in: 116.4 May 15th weigh in: 115.3 May 22nd weigh in: 114.6 May 29th weigh in: 114.0 Hit my goal. A bit surprised really. Holiday weekend full of crap then bloating/water weight yesterday had me at 115.7 in the am since my TOM which had been skipping hit…

Height: 5'0 Starting Weight: 118.4 GW: 110 May GW: 114 May 8th weigh in: 116.4 May 15th weigh in: 115.3 May 22nd weigh in: 114.6 The scale hit 114 over the weekend. Hopefully I will still be there after camping next weekend. Hoping to hit ultimate GW around Jun 15th given my current weight and progress! Good luck all!

Day 7 done! Which means week one complete!

It went better, thanks elfinnyx. Day 6 done. Gross weather here though.

I don't have an apple, but I do have problems with syncing (my veryfitpro, which talks to Google fit, which should talk to mfp) there are a lot of days which that does not happen. Never had a problem with fitbit, but it broke and fell off on a walk, and 130+ for a new tracker is not in the budget. Anyways, my issues seem…

25% done, Yay! Dogs still in the way during push ups. Lol.

Day 5. Pretty rough today. Didn't get through everything.

Finished. My arms were rebelling. Pushups got pretty sloppy towards the end. But squats and sit ups went well. Lol Sarah, cats love to be in the way.

Cherry pie. I love cherries. But cherry pie is always either too saccharine or too bitter... and mushy. No appeal.

50% done day 4. It is really challenging to do push ups with a dog looping under your arms and licking your face.

Yay day 3 done! Can't wait to see how many good push ups I can do by the end! Right now I can do between 30 to 40 good ones before dropping to my knees.

50% done today... push ups are killing my arms.

Day 2 done. Really kicking me on top of work and kempo class.

Mostly my arms from the push ups yesterday... 20% done with today's, rest will have to wait until after work. And we will probably do sit ups and push ups (and maybe squats) at martial arts tonight so I can add those in. And then Wednesday I will really be kicking myself XD

Height: 5'0 Weight: 118.4 GW: 110 May GW: 114 May 8th weight in: 116.4 May 15th weigh in: 115.3 Seems to be going well! Maybe I will hot my GW by mid June rather than early July! I have a 10k I am running on the 10th...

Sure. Should be interesting! Upper Arm: 11 inches Chest: 31 inches Waist: 26 inches Hips: 35 inches Upper thigh: 20 inches

Misbehaving by Pentagon's keeps running through mine

May 8th weight in: 116.8 Hopefully that bodes well for the rest of the month.

Well, I just bought a bikini that should look okay once I lose the last 6-7 lbs. It fits but I'm not sure I like how it makes my love handles look. I needed a smaller bathing suit... my current one falls off when doing laps, and none of the one pieces were even remotely sensible.

Balloons. Seeing balloons hits me right into anxiety mode, or even a panic attack though I've gotten much better.
