Held onto 202 lbs despite going to a party with cake and bread and sweets - which I managed to resist! No loss but no gain. Still trying to get to 200 for our first weigh in on the 3rd. Happy New Year!

202 lbs this morning! I'm going to work hard today to lose 2 more lbs (it's almost all water weight, December was a mess diet-wise for me) so I can start the new year at an even 200. Yesterday I managed to go to an amusement park and NOT consume candy, pizza, etc. and had a blast just walking around and riding rides with…

205 lbs this morning. Looking forward to a fresh 2022 start and getting under 200 ASAP! Happy New Year's Eve, Eve!

Getting excited to join this! I lost a ton of weight around 2015 (70 lbs), but pandemic stress, restrictions, and sadness/anxiety lead to me gaining literally 50 lbs over 2 years. I'm uncomfortable. 2022 is a huge restart for me. I'm doing low carb/high protein and am removing processed foods from my plate (literally the…

I'm a day late! ChiaGnome, current weight is 188lbs. Usual check in is Sunday. Drowning in work-with-no-life-balance while taking care of my 3 year old full time too. Ugh. The pandemic doesn't help one bit. Still working on prioritizing good food choices over convenience and comfort. Kinda feel that I'm so loaded, I'm…

Username: ChiaGnome Weigh In Day: Sunday PW (Previous Weight): 186 CW (Current Weight): 189 Welp, I bounced back in weight after a big dip last Sunday. At one point this week I was 9 lbs up (in one week!) so at least it's down a bit from there. I'm currently getting tested for autoimmune diseases - my Dr. thought I had…

ChiaGnome Weigh In Day: Sunday PW (Previous Weight): 190 CW (Current Weight): 186 First round here with everyone so I hope I'm doing this the right day and way! Sunday is my weigh-in day. Down 4 lbs already, yay! I'm sure it's water weight from making bigger food changes (no alcohol or high-carb processed foods), but it's…

Hi All and Happy New Year! I'm currently sitting at 190lbs, my highest being 220, BUT my lowest being 148. I managed to get there before my wedding in 2015 by eliminating processed foods. It's literally the only thing that has ever worked for me - I was happy with what I was eating, and how I felt and looked. I gained 20…

Hey! I hope this is the right place to post my weekly weigh in (I'm a Monday). SW: 169 CW: 169 GW: 150

We're in a similar boat! Close weight and height, and really, keto (or at least low carb) is the only thing that works for me. And I feel so much better when I follow it! Better, more stable mood - it definitely improves my mental state in addition to the weight loss. Any who, good luck! I'm happy to be on your team!

Wow, I didn't realize that hitting "done" in the mobile app takes you to the home screen. There goes my thoughtful, long-winded self-introduction! I used to be 220lbs. Dropped to 150. Life, yadda yadda, now I'm 169. It's my diet. My goal is 150 by July when I go to France, so my first goal is 160 by May. 9 lbs in 9 weeks.…

New here! Getting back to it after gaining about 15/20 lbs back from a 70 lbs drop. Username: ChiaGnome Weigh in day: Mondays Starting Weight: 169 lbs (2/25/19) I'm looking forward to seeing what team I'm on! Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm in, getting fit for the summer is definitely on my mind. Group says weigh ins don't start till July though?

Sign me up! Looking to lose about 15 of these last stubborn lbs. OK, maybe 20 :p

5'5" lady here. Overweight/obese all throughout childhood. Over 2 years I went from my highest adult weight of 220 lbs down to 150 through removing process foods. Over the winter I gained back 10 lbs, but I'm working on that. 150 was a great weight for me, and a trainer told me that's my ideal weight. I have very muscular…

Hi all! Getting back on the wagon after gaining back 10 lbs since last Halloween (220 to 153 to 162). Trying to get down into the 140's (F/5'5"/28). Good luck everyone!

Hi all! I hope this is a group open to the public and I'm not too late to join. I used to be about 220 lbs and dropped to 153. Since the fall, I've gained 10 of those lbs back. My goal weight is somewhere around 140 (I'm 5'5" ans 28 years old). Here's my stats: SW: 220 CW: 162 GW: 140 I'm really looking forward to kicking…

.4 lbs is awesome, don't down play that. It's .4 lbs closer to your goal. I lost 70 lbs by mainly focusing on my diet. Eat less, and eat better. Focus on things that make you feel full with less/controlled calories. For me, simple carbs make me endlessly hungry so I eat mostly veggies, meat, and fruit. Don't be afraid to…

Getting motivated! I'm a 5' 5" 27 year old female from Maryland. Stats: SW: 220 lbs CW: 160 lbs GW: 145 (for this challenge) GW: 135 (ultimate)

I had a major binge session over the weekend. I didn't have much "naughty" stuff, but I managed to find my fiance's fig newtons and ate about 1/2 a dozen dipped in milk. I then ate a decadent white chocolate macadamia nut granola bar dipped in milk... And a bag of popcorn. I think it was spurred on by my having two 5.5%…

I just got back down as of this morning lol. The last bit of this super rough winter has been tough on me (forced to stay inside and grumpy). I'm hoping that by final weigh in I will hit 149, and at least breech the 140's.

I'm in the exact same boat. I'll be ecstatic if I break into the 140's by next weight in (2 lbs down from my starting weight). I agree that Memorial day makes for a good time period for a challenge. Plus it's Spring Bank Holiday in the UK :)

Gorgeous photo Barb, where is that? Florida? It's just starting to get warm up here in MD. I've started biking the 6 miles (12 round trip) to work now that it's warmer and we have more sunlight. I love biking, but I have to bike on some pretty sketchy roads to get to work - so I've gotten a safety vest in addition to my…

Congrats, SilverStormi! That must be so satisfying! Can I ask what industry you're in? I'm graduating in a year, and I'm always interested in what careers people choose.

Thanks so much for your support! My biggest motivator is that I'm getting married in 7 months - which sets a bit of a timeline. If I can't make time to exercise, I have to eat less. And I love to eat! haha All joking aside, I'll probably have to eat less :|

I've been taking spinning classes here and there, but they tend to be offered at inconvenient times for me. I think I'm just going to have to start waking up really early, or adjust my work hours to 8-4 rather than 9-5. My gym offers some other really cool sounding classes like boot-camp, Zumba, treadmill, and what looks…

1.) Tress, I know I don't really "know" you, but you are an amazing person. Your motivational and upbeat attitude is staggering, and really, really awesome <3 2.) I haven't been as present these last few weeks, and that is going to change. I've been stuck at 150 for months and months, and THAT is going to change. My…
