By the way, I love that your cat is inspiring! :-)

You're amazing. I'm so happy for you!

Well done! You're very handsome in both, but confidence pours out of picture #2.

This post makes me ridiculously happy.

Hard to believe the after pictures are really you. Fantastic work! You lost more than an entire person! You look fabulous and very handsome!

You make me happy! Congratulations!

Yay, you!

Wonderful!

Guys, I think I need to drop out. My life is so stressful right now that I'm barely putting one foot in front of the other. I just can't keep up. I'm wishing you all the best on your fitness journeys. Maybe I'll ask to join again if I ever feel like I can do it without letting all of you and myself down.

Love to hear the update when you're ready!

What the heck? I'm losing my mind. Monday steps 9671. Tuesday steps TBD.

Tuesday steps 9671

Monday weigh in Rachelleahsmom week 4 I think Monday, Feb 3 Previous weight 142 Today's weight 142.5 :(

Oops! I'm a day ahead of myself. Yesterday's steps were 11,002. I'm only at 2700 so far for today!

February 2 steps = 11,002

My weigh in is on Monday and today is Superbowl Sunday! What will happen? Here's to not eating too many chips and dip!

Welcome, Jennifer! This is a great group of people. They are my new best friends! I'm originally from Michigan - but the other side of the state from you. We spent many summers climbing the dunes and doing fun things in SW MI. I live in the frozen tundra of ND now. Sounds like you are doing all the right things, and you…

Monday, January 27 weigh in rachelleahsmom week 3 starting weight 145 previous weight 143 current weight 142

@Motiv8tedMom I'm with you! Weekends are hard! That's why I set my weigh in day as Monday - to try to keep myself accountable on the weekend!

@AustinRuadhain I love me some sauna time!

Sending you a hug! Sleep is my issue (one of many!), too. It seems like EVERYTHING is worse without the right amount and kind of sleep. I have to be so careful because I tend to spiral. I have my last child graduating high school this year and I just keep telling myself that it will be fine. I'm going to miss her so much.…

Just checking in to let you know how inspiring you all are. I'm reading all your posts and am crazy impressed!

rachelleahsmom week 2 January 20 Monday weigh in starting weight 145 previous weigh in 143 today's weigh in 143 No loss, but I'm actually okay with that because I ate like crap over the weekend. Today is already much better. Congratz to the team. You guys are awesome and very inspirational!

Today's high was 4 below zero. So, no outside walk for me. I've been walking around the house trying to get those last few steps in. My cat either chases me or looks at me like I'm nuts. We might be above zero by Tuesday! I'm a little worried about Monday's weigh in. Any chance I can lose 5 pounds between now and then? Ha!

@Katmary71 and @AustinRuadhain The jury is still out for me on yoga. I really want to love it and know all the great benefits, but I find myself lying on the mat thinking, "did I leave the porch light on? Do I have garlic for tonight's dinner?" and stuff like that. I think it making me sore was a positive thing, because I…

@cornanda - Wow and good for you! @katmary71 - can you believe yoga made me sore?!?!

Monday was way over on calories. Tuesday and today are much better. I also did yoga for the first time today! I'm so pleased with myself! I'm mostly good about exercise in general and am usually pretty close on getting my steps in, so food is really my issue. But, trying something new today has really boosted my spirits.…

I have to put in a shout out for the YMCA. They are definitely more expensive that PF, but they welcome everybody no matter what size, shape, color, or age. You can also work out at any Y across the country, so if you travel, it's a great deal. I love everything about my YMCA - something for everyone, clean, welcoming, and…

Week 1 for me - Monday weigh in January13 Rachelleahsmom Previous weight 145 Today's weight 143 I'm happy-ish but I have gained and lost these same 2 pounds about 20 times. Have a great week everyone!
