And this is March-ish until now. About 25 lbs difference I think.

I thought I'd share a couple of progress photos. Even while my weight wasn't moving much, changes were happening. We tend to focus on the scale, or do our waist/hips/thighs look smaller. So between July and now, the scale didn't move much at all for me. But I have been in a calorie deficit, and have been lifting as well as…

I am flat out at work with several major projects that will run into next year and thanks to Covid…

xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Weigh in day: Sunday Week: 3 PW: 251.3 (114.0kg) CW: 250.8 (113.8kg) LTD: 25.1 (11.4kg) This past week I continued to smash my personal goal of getting up at 5.45am every week day and Spinning for 45 minutes before heading in to the office for work. I had to drop evening sessions and didn't do any…

Just popping in to share some pupper love. My two cousins (who are identical twins) have very similar dogs. They get together every week for a catch up. I have photos lol. First Miss Casey, and then Miss Mia.

So I'm at work. And I just realized that half the food I got out to pack for lunch/snacks is still sitting on the bench at home. 🤔 I'll get by though, I have a protein shake and extra apples. 😁 @CassieGetsFit2013 I've had maybe 6 MRI's I think? I always feel like I'm in Star Trek being put into one lol. There's more space…

Hey Fit fam, I'm 50+ posts behind (again) I will try and read and respond later. It's 6am Monday here and I'm headed back into the office today. First time in months I have to get out of my activewear 🤣 Luckily the office isn't formal, I can wear jeans and a tshirt. Had a good week last week, hit my goal of a spin session…

@KUMEcyclingteam OMG I want a Maine Coon. When I lived in Australia there used to be one that lived between my house and the gym. I would walk to the gym and it would come out and love me half to death every time. Bazinga is my boy above. He's half Bengal, half Burmese, all attitude, and 16.5 lbs.

@KUMEcyclingteam I don't have a dog - what does it mean if my cat is fat? 🤣

Yes, that's me 🙂🙂 And I love your cat tattoo, it looks so real! I am a complete cat person. 🐈

Kicking off the October weigh ins - it's me, your friendly Kiwi group-mate: xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Weigh in day: Sunday PW: 254.1 (115.2 kg) CW: 252.2 (114.4 kg) LTD: 23.8 lbs (10.8 kg) My intro: I'm Kristy, I'm 41 and live in Auckland, New Zealand. I've been married for 18 years and have four children - girls aged 17 and 11,…

Man, posted my October intro in here... now I'll go to the right thread. 😄😛

Quick check in, it's late Saturday night here and I'm exhausted. Went for an 8.5km walk today, along the coast again with cliffs and beach. Timed it for low tide so we could use the beach part of the way, but that meant we were walking this afternoon when it was quite sunny and hot. I've been thinking about bears ever…

Thanks, just remember that I used to be a Personal Trainer and was lifting quite seriously for a few years until injury and health problems stopped me. I'm regaining a lot of what I lost during detraining, but some exercises I'm still on light weights or can't do at all. My husband was also a PT, so that helps. I am so…

First day of October almost over here - where did the year go? NSV for me today, I moved up to 50 kg (110 lbs) on Squats. Not the highest I've ever done, but for the last few years I haven't been able to do weighted squats at all because of my shoulder/nerve problems. I only started adding weight to squats at the start of…

Welcome @kiane50 🌻 What instrument do you play? You sound like you're off to a strong start. This is just a general weight loss challenge, with a lot of encouragement and a good amount of support from some awesome people! You are encouraged to check in daily, post as you are able to, but it can be a good help to post daily…

I just found some old pics - what I think would have been around my heaviest weight 330 lbs + (2010) And my lightest, around 167 lbs (2015/16). All I can say here is that I am making better choices these days, so that when I get to that low weight again I'll be healthy. And I will get somewhere healthy, maybe not quite…

xX_phoenixrising_Xx Weigh in week 5 Weigh in day Sunday PW 253.9 (115.2 kg) CW 254.1 (115.3 kg) I will take that and run (so to speak 😆). I had a horrible week with migraine and pain, plus nausea which food actually settles. I stopped counting calories for a few days, and stopped caring. My weight was up 1.5kg earlier in…

So, my daughter is having a rough time with her end of year exams. She is 17, has autism and OCD and she's going into her last year of school next year. (Our school year is the calendar year.) Her brain doesn't cope with exams well and she has failed a few, although overall she has enough credits to pass her level 2…

I wish my migraines would vanish, but I've only been getting them for 7 years. I have permanent migraine pain if I'm not on meds. I've had a migraine every week this month so far. I also get ringing in my ears and horrible dizziness and spinning but they can't find an exact reason for that. They've put it down to side…

xX_phoenixrising_Xx Weigh in week 4 Weigh in day: Sunday PW: 256.1 (116.2kg) CW: 253.9 (115.4kg) Down is down. I think I have to accept that this is going to be slow. But at least I'll be strong (lifting all the heavy things rules!)

@mainebeachbum It's in the Hauraki Gulf - off the East Coast of Auckland, New Zealand. The coastline here is just a series of bays, I live less than a mile from the beach.

A couple of coastline pics for you all... Rangitoto Island last Friday evening at sunset, and then the following morning taken a bit further along the coast in the other direction.

I still haven't properly caught up, but I do want to say that I appreciate you all being here for support! It's such a great group to be a part of. 🙂💪 @sleepymom5 I did make the cake but I didn't decorate it, just put a chocolate ganache on top. Hubby isn't fussed and I felt like I'd been hit by a truck over the weekend.…

Ugh.. I've had a super busy week, I'm 5 pages behind in posts and I haven't posted my weigh in from Sunday (sorry!) Better start with the weigh in... xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Weigh in week 3 Weigh in day: Sunday (better late than never!)

@twyla77 Love the horse, I haven't been riding in years! @mainebeachbum a 2 day migraine is brilliant for me - I've had them last over 2 weeks. And without meds I have permanent migraine-like pain. My meds changed back in July which was a rough month, but this wasn't as severe or as long as usual so it's a win. (Which is…

Hi team, I'm so behind on reading posts - I will try to catch up later.

Probably just muscles retaining…
