@susan2396 - Thanks for your support! A couple days back into the week and I feel like I'm back on track :) I think I agree with you where weigh ins are concerned - I've scaled it back from checking every day and am finding it a bit less frustrating. Although if I do hop on the scale and see a number I don't like it tends…

I was able to increase my running speed on the treadmill this morning :) I was a sweat monster but it felt soooo satisfying!!

I am completing week 3 of C25K without hesitation and while still being able to increase my speed along the way :) Can't wait to run a 5K straight through! I'm with @ladyreva78, you are amazing and a huge inspiration @Madwife2009!

Monday check-in - My cheat dinner out on Saturday spilled over .... I ended up picking up a movie (and popcorn) on Sunday afternoon and then dinner at my cousins resulted in a glass of wine and a brownie too many! Need to reset and get back in gear this week. I haven't noticed a scale gain as a result which is nice. I've…

@badnoodle - I've done something similar but using Dietbet (weight loss betting website). I'm currently doing a kickstarter challenge which is 4% lost within 4 weeks. As long as I hit that goal then I will get my money back plus a cut of the overall pot. Will have to seen how that fairs then I may sign up for one of their…

Truth Thursday - yesterday I caved and bought a chocolate bar plus I went out at lunch for Thai food. Only ate half of the rice from my dish and thankfully for me my favourite type of chocolate is super dark dark chocolate so it isn't the worst thing to cave on. Still a bit disappointed as I have been making an effort to…

@pneschich - My suggestion for a protein packed snack that might help as a pick me up in the afternoon would be canned tuna. I know it's something that people tend to have either a love or hate relationship with (personally I love it!) but a whole can of light tuna in water is only 100 calories but has 24g of protein! I'm…

I walked more than 80,000 steps last week.

Friday Fitness - This has been an awesome week for me where exercise was concerned! The extra boost that comes from a shiny new club membership hasn't worn off yet. I've been at the gym every morning Mon-Fri with plans to still get in at least one more cardio workout (maybe 2 if I push myself) this weekend. I've found that…

Was able to up the weight on all but one machine on my circuit this morning :)

Hitting my calories burned target four days in a row :)

My NSVs are that I've been to the gym 3 consecutive mornings and that I went to a movie last night and didn't buy popcorn plus I turned it down when offered to me (yay healthy choices!) :)

@Militarymom62 - **Kick** Glad that you've reached out for some support. I've been struggling with the weight yo-yo too and am trying my best now to get it to stop :) @Misnomer971- I usually have a big breakfast, small/medium lunch, and a medium/large dinner. I like having a slightly larger meal in the evening since I find…

Goal Tuesday - I'm going to try and hit 10,000 steps every day this week. A big push towards hitting that is going to come from being more active while I'm at work - tricky considering I work primarily a desk job. Thanks to hourly reminders from my Fitbit I hit 9/12 hrs from 8am - 8pm for 250 minimum hourly steps yesterday…

@amandaoliverio257 - You seem to have the right mindset! Celebrating the small victories and being proud of your success already (14 lbs is awesome!) is a great place to start. We've all been down in the dumps where weight is concerned - whenever you need a pick-me-up don't hesitate to seek it out here :) @Misnomer971 - I…

@skinnyjeanzbound - I have a Duck Tolling Retriever X. I can't agree more, having a dog is an awesome motivation to maintain some minimum exercise of just walking on daily basis! This weekend has been tricky for nutrition - it's been hard to keep it clean and healthy when it's others that are cooking for you! I managed to…

@finzup - I can totally relate where emotional eating is concerned! After a bad day I am more than happy to sit down to a butter laden bowl of popcorn, bag of chips, or a good ol' tub of Ben & Jerry's while I sit on my butt and watch crap TV! My #1 suggestion - eliminate the temptation. I recently cleansed my cupboards of…

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and seeking some ongoing motivation/support - here's why... I am an obese 22 year old. I've struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember and am a serial yoyo-er. I was always the 'big kid' through grade school and graduated high school with about 180 lbs on my 5'6" frame. By the…

Things have been absolutely crazy for me over the last couple of weeks! I missed last weeks check in and have strayed off track since my parents and sister came to visit. Unfortunately, having them visit meant significantly more eating out and well as significantly less exercise. Went for a run on Saturday with my sister,…

Hey everyone, My name is Rachel and I'm just on the cusp of turning 19. That being said, I've probably had a weight problem for about half of my life ... so I've decided I'm going to change that. I'm a stress/boredom eater who has also been a chronic victim of fad/binge dieting and exercise regimes for about the last 4…
