I'm definitely going for a pedicure whenever I drop below 220..... Hoping that patience & plugging away will do the trick. I weigh in every day too, and it's crazy to see the fluctuations. But @amkita -- I agree with you: fluctuations aside, seeing new lows is amazing (even if it's not on technically on a weigh-in day)

Well, now that we're nearly halfway through the month. Might as well take a look at my original goals: - Replacing diet pop with water (I'm ACING this in the office, which is where I drink soda the most) and cut back at home too (I've had one 710mL bottle of diet coke so far this month compared with drinking about 2L a…

Frustrating. I had a mini gain of 0.8 this week... which was only frustrating because it felt like I had a great week. Exercise was more easily fitting into my day-to-day and weekly schedule, I made good food choices, and increased my water intake. Part of me didn't want to acknowledge the gain because I didn't want that…

Question for you guys. When you're pressed for time, but do go to the gym (just to hop on a piece of equipment to get a a decent sweat in), what's your go-to selection?? - Stationary bike? - Elliptical? - Treadmill? - Other??

@savannahs21 Thanks for the links! I'll definitely check those out. I attempted some sort of ab video over the weekend that just about killed me!

Great goal! Personally, I'll be curious to find out what some of your favourite videos are.

@Terytha -- I am SO with you with the water intake. This month I'm trying to replace diet pop with water (it just makes sense!) Dropping 6 pounds would be a good goal... & same with not self-sabotaging. I definitely need healthier coping mechanisms when it comes to stress. Hoping to find some sort of balance of self care…

•12 Week Challenge• ChSW: 8/26/19 (Monday) - 226.4lbs ChGW: to drop 20lbs (206.4lbs)

I'm with you! Lines up perfectly with a mini base fitness program I found online. Want to get back at it & recommit!

Count me in too! SW: 230+ CW: 227 GW: will re-evaluate at 175 March goals: - walk to commute more - run 3x week - yoga once - WAY more water.... - and try something random like 25 squats before parking it on the couch at the end of the night?

Original starting weight - 231.2 February starting weight - 231.2 Feb 8: 228.2 Feb 15: 227.2 February goal - 225 Ultimate goal - mini goal 1 = first 10% (aka 208) progress so far: -4.0

Original starting weight - 231.2 February starting weight - 231.2 Feb 8: 228.2 February goal - 225 Ultimate goal - mini goal 1 = first 10% (aka 208) progress so far: -3.0

Frustrating. Re-starting ALL over again. Nobody's fault but MINE. Original starting weight - 231.2 February starting weight - 231.2 February goal - 225 Ultimate goal - mini goal 1 = first 10% (aka 208)

yikes. Dec starting: 227.0 Dec goal: 222

THIS will get me back on the scale... I'm IN-- and will weigh-in (after a VERY long absence) tomorrow.

Original start weight: probably in the 230s (I didn't set foot on a scale for a good, long while) July start weight: 223.0 (as of June 29) July goal: 218.0 Ultimate goal: 160 July 4: 222.6 July 14: 220.4 Progress: -2.6 getting there.... fewer BBQs would help.

I'm in for the month! Original start weight: probably in the 230s (I didn't set foot on a scale for a good, long while) July start weight: 223.0 (as of June 29) July goal: 218.0 Ultimate goal: 160 Progress: we'll find out soon enough!

Progress: Jun 11: 226.4 Jun 19: 224.4 Jun 29: 223.0 Loss for June: - 3.4 pounds will commit to the FULL month of July!

dang..... 25 min straight...… AMAZING!!!! Part of me wonders if I'll be able to give up my walk breaks.... tonight's run: 2 min warm up (walking @ 3.5mph) 10 min jog (5.7mph) 1:30 walk (3.5mph) 10 min jog (5.7mph) 1:30 walk (3.5 mph) 10 min jog (5.7mph) 5 min cooldown walk @ 3.5mph

well shoot.... I said I was aiming for 3 x a week consistently... but I haven't run in nearly a week. (ugh) this was today's journey (whichever week of the program it puts me on!!) 3 min walking (3.5mph) to warm up 5 min jog (at 5.8mph) 1 min walk 5 min jog (5.8mph) 1 min walk 6 min jog (5.8mph) 1 min walk) 8 min jog…

treadmill for me right now....! Since I'm just starting back into it, I feel more comfortable staying in one spot rather than thinking: AH CRAP I HAVE TO STOP & then needing to figure out how to get home. but I miss running outside. I'm aiming to get back there soon! #julygoals

the thought of running in a mountainous area right now TERRIFIES me!!! Treadmill is definitely the easier option, and I'm worried about getting injured, so I'm aiming to build back up to running 30 min "easily" & then returning outside! (and by easily-- I just mean slowly but surely, instead of being left absolutely GASSED…

Progress: Jun 11: 226.4 Jun 19: 224.4

here was today's treadmill run (#2 out of 3 for the week-- the week which started Wed): 3 min walk to warmup 5 min jog @ 5.6 mph 1 min walk 5 min jog @ 5.7 mph 1 min walk 5 min jog @ 5.7 mph 1 min walk 6 min jog @ 5.7 mph 5 min walk to cooldown.

TERRIBLE question-- but are you using an app?? Or working off a training plan on a website??

it happened -- and I don't regret it. 5 min walk to warm up 4 min slow steady jog... 1 min walk 4 min jog 1 min walk 4 min jog 1 min walk & since i was feeling good: 5 min jog 5 min cooldown and so far, I'm happy!

I completely get that. I wound up completely changing up my workouts. But I'm struggling with (or in my case: I'm INTIMIDATED by) wanting to get back into one of my first workout loves: running (mostly because I loved it when it felt easy! & now it's just darned hard!) But I WILL commit to one treadmill run after work…
