kelliward1 Weigh in day: Wednesday PW: 251.4 CW: 251.6 😕 Using the excuse that I plan to have a big workout with my martial arts class to eat things I shouldn't....like a whole pint of ice cream...😖. Need to be better about that. Now to go work on that Bingo card.

Good morning everyone...or afternoon....depending where you are... It was my daughter's birthday this weekend (she turned 19) and she had requested a red velvet cake made from scratch. I tried, but the layers ended up sticking to the pans....so I was able to get one out and ice it. The other layer was in too many pieces to…

kelliward1 PW: 249.2 CW: 250.8 Darn hormones are reaking havoc on my body this week. 😕

NSV: I've been buying smaller clothes size (XL) the last few months, but hadn't bought any smaller scrubs for work. Still wearing the 3XL pants, just pulling the drawstring really tight. Well my hubby was folding my scrubs and mentioned that if I don't get smaller ones soon the pants will be falling off of me soon, even…

@Stimpy56 2lbs isn't that much for a 4 day cruise, after my 1 day trip to San Antonio this last weekend I gained 2 lbs. Mostly due to the high sodium foods of fast food and Chinese food. Enjoy your gardening...I need to do my "flower beds" in our front yard..but it gets too hot here in Texas and my back and knees are not…

Good morning everyone! One of my days off of work so was able to get a little extra sleep. Had martial arts classes last night and didnsome yoga this morning. Always feels good to get a good stretch the day after a workout. Been staying within my calorie range, even with my husband and I's weekly lunch date on Tuesdays. We…

kelliward1 Weigh in day: Wednesday PW: 250.4 CW: 249.2 🥳 Loss of 1.2 lbs Had gained a little weight back over the weekend when we travelled so worked hard and stayed in my calorie range to get the weight off and now reached my goal of getting under 250! Enjoy your birthday @MotylekOkruchy

Well it's Sunday...this weekend flew by fast. We travelled to San Antonio for the martial arts tournament and I earned 3 bronze medals in the group I competed with. My son won Adult Gup (those who have colored belts and not black belts) Grand Champion. My daughter and husband each earned a medal too. Went off of my diet a…

Good afternoon all..can't believe it is Sunday already...traveled to a martial arts tournament on Friday and competed on Saturday and then we drove back afterwards (well after dinner out with our instructor and his family). I earned 3 bronze medals in the group I competed with. Didn't do too well on staying on my diet when…

Didn't sleep well last night, and ended up waking up late. Skipped my yoga work out this morning, but I did take the dog on a 20 minute walk around the neighborhood this afternoon to make up for it. 🐕🚶‍♀️

👋 Hello there...I joined this group a week or so ago and never introduced myself. I'm Kelli, from Texas. I've been a serial diet starter...would do good for a month or so and lose a little weight and then let the old habits come back and gain back what I lost and more. Was diagnosed with high blood pressure in 2019 and…

Kelli SW: 284.2 lbs CW: 250.4 lbs GW: 155 lbs How did winter treat me....well I kinda fell off of the healthy diet wagon during the holidays and gained 6 lbs back, but since January I am down 10 lbs. Figured out that I've entered into perimenopause and having to learn to work with my crazy hormones now. Aiming for 5 lb…

I've been doing higher protein breakfasts and sometimes on the mornings I work I don't have a ton of time...usually make a protein smoothie but recently came up with a quick breakfast sandwich I can throw together quickly if I make the protein pancakes ahead of time to keep in the fridge to warm up in the microwave with…

For exercise, find something you enjoy doing so it doesn't become a "chore" to do. You are more likely to stick with it that way. I personally do martial arts with my family and added yoga on other days to help with flexibility and such. Some people like working out alone and others prefer group settings...there isn't a…

Good morning everyone, thought I would introduce myself. I'm Kelli. 46 yo mom of 4 (+1...one of my boys got married last year). I work full time as a pediatric home health nurse. My husband, daughter, our youngest son and I all train in the martial arts. Even with the workouts in martial arts, I was eating unhealthy stuff.…

Good morning everyone....I understand the frustration of the scale this last week. Having some here...some of it is me eating what I shouldn't or forgetting to take my BP medicine and some of it is due to hormones. I think that I've started into perimenopause. Been working on sneaking in some extra steps when I work. It's…

My martial arts instructor complimented me twice this week on how much better my balance has gotten. Hurt my knee about 1 1/2 years ago, and I've had trouble with my balance afterwards. Started doing yoga at home to work on my balance and strengthening my core. The 30 lbs I've lost has helped too.

Kelli Age:46 HW: 289 SW: 282.4 (April 2022) CW: 251.4 GW: 155 Morning/Afternoon everyone...glad everyone was able to find ways to celebrate Valentines. Hubby works in the pizza business so it's all hands on deck that night, so we had a lunch date instead. Went to Olive Garden. I tracked everything and still remained in my…

Well..this last week wasn't the best. Ate a bunch of junk, didn't track my food...because I knew it was junk. Ended up gaining a few pounds, some of it is hormonal...I PMS and I end up going after the junk food. So getting back into the better eating and tracking this week.

Well..I survived the clinic....I did have to sit out for about 20 minutes because I felt light-headed. Probably a little dehydrated at the time. Not as sore as I thought I would be, but taking it easy today.

Good morning everyone! Up early this morning..getting ready for an all day (10 am to 4 pm) martial arts clinic. Not sure how I will track the exercise in the app. Didn't eat the best yesterday because I wanted to fuel up for today. From what I was told, we aren't stopping for lunch but will have snack breaks throughout the…

Thanks 😊.....for me it's just finding out what works with my body and schedule. Everyone's body is different so it's finding out what works the best for yours. For me it's higher protein meals...but not keto. I do a higher protein breakfast...eggs, breakfast tacos, protein smoothies, protein pancakes and what I call my…

Happy February, ladies!💗 Hello! I'm Kelli. 46 yo mom of 4+1 (one of my boys got married last year). I work full time as a pediatric home health nurse, usually 3 12 hrs shifts a week. I'm a serial diet starter, but this is the longest I've stuck with it..even with kinda taking the holidays off. I started last April at 282…

I stopped drinking all sodas (I'm in Texas, we call them sodas or Coke) about 2 1/2 years ago when I was diagnosed with high blood pressure. I drink a lot of flavored sparkling water. I prefer the ones sweetened with sucralose, since I try to avoid aspartame. My favorite is the lemon lime flavor I find at Kroger. It's…

Jan 10 257...up again, but most likely hormonal weight gain. Jan. 11 ? Forgot what my weigh in was...was supposed to add in some exercise today, but spent most of the day cleaning and working on organizing my office area. Jan 12 256.4 Back at work today, trying to find ways to sneak in more steps.
