I'm so sorry for not keeping up with this one! I didn't even go to work yesterday. Starting to feel better today though and I have a good challenge I found for next week!

I saw a post from Popsugar Fitness last night that was "how to diet for thanksgiving: don't!". I'm hosting it this year at my house. I'll be able to control the butter and salt contents but I plan to enjoy myself with my family. I won't be logging on that day at all. I don't want my obsession to control my day and not be…

Something about this song just makes me push myself! And I swear my Spotify can tell when I'm wearing down because it always comes on at the perfect moment.

Here's the full list that I found my favorite in! 15 hearty soups under 355 calories!

Yes! Certainly don't deprive yourself when you need it the most!

Thank you all for the great support!! :blush: You're all rocking this out! Great job! Any holiday is somewhat of a struggle but it seems that everyone handled this one quite well. Candy is somewhat easy to turn away. It's Thanksgiving that gets me. We can make it though!

I slept in lol. My week did not go well at all. Chinese food, pizza.. Oh my! It's been utter chaos around my house with everything but this is a new week! Last week was 186. This week is 188. No good but it's not a complete failure for everything I've accomplished.

That's ok. The good thing is, you logged it all. You've still got the right mindset and held yourself accountable. Today is a new day! You're not going to gain 5 pounds in one day of overeating so don't sweat! We all stumbled or have just plain fallen too. I've done it many times! Your hard work will still pay off in the…

If you haven't already, maybe try compression socks? I've never used them personally but I know a few runners that do and swear by them. Good luck with your run!

Pizza and I have a very love/hate relationship. I LOVE pizza. I could eat it all day, every day. But I end up feeling completely dragged down for days. Mostly because I eat like 4 pieces lol. I feel your struggle trying to eat one piece! Good self control though! :smiley:

Those little steps like that are a great motivator! I'm always going through my closet trying different things on. And slow movement is better than no movement. Keep up the great work!

Good job staying on track afterwards! Sometimes that's exactly where people falter. They see that one bad meal and a full derailment and it's all downhill from there.

Free t-shirts will push me to do anything! Hahaha Great job though! Buckle down and push yourself! Good luck! :)

Meeee too! My week has been a little hectic and I've only had one work out (getting another tonight and tomorrow). My goal this week was morning workouts. 2 morning workouts. Just 2! Could NOT get up on time!

Great work! Congratulations!

I barely scraped it in yesterday lol. Got my ounces in though!

There's a girl at work who acts like she can't see me when I turn sideways now. I never know how to respond lol.

Yum! It looks so pretty! Lol I'm all out of yogurt! Until grocery shopping this weekend. :( I like to take plain greek, add in a teaspoon or two of my PB2 (the chocolate one is delicious in this case) and then a sprinkle of granola! Dessert for breakfast!

That sounds delicious! I love pumpkin anything. I'm one of THOSE people lol! ;)

72 ounces yesterday. Already got a start on today!

Have you tried maybe sprucing up your water? Lemon and lime slices, orange slices, orange and cinnamon sticks, apple chunks and cinnamon sticks, just cinnamon sticks (my personal favorite), strawberries and mint? So many options! Maybe that would help you drink it more. :)

As everyone else has said, it's not going to happen right away. Especially if you don't have a lot to lose in the first place. It was much, much easier for me to lose weight when I was heavier. Plus, 0.8 isn't much of an increase and could very easily be water. Everyone has already said all of the important factors. Don't…

This have been slightly difficult for me! Not that I don't drink water. That's all I drink other than black coffee or tea. I get so caught up in my work that I forget to drink anything for hours! But, I had 76 ounces yesterday!

I had 72 ounces yesterday and I'm at 24 so far today! :)

That sounds so good! I'll be trying to for sure! Thanks for sharing. :)

I pulled my winter coats out this week and realized I have to buy new ones! The coat that I could barely bend down to tie my shoes in last winter is now 3 sizes too big. I guess I didn't realize because they'd been packed away but it got cold in my neck of the woods so they were needed but did me no good because they're so…

Don't forget to celebrate ANY progress you're making! Don't be too hard on yourself regarding numbers! Maybe the scale only moved a pound. That's ok! That's a pound less than last week! Push yourself harder this week. Reflect on your eating habits and see if there's changes that could be made! Maybe it didn't move at all…

I had a whole thing typed out for this so I'm not sure why it didn't go through. Anyway! My numbers for the week! Starting Weight: 265 Current Weight: 188 Goal Weight: 165 Good looking out! Thanks for starting it!

Ah! I posted it at like 8 this morning!

So many great goals! I'm glad you all have other focuses and not JUST the number on the scale. It'll help! Update to mine: as a short term, non-scale goal, I'd like to get at least 2 (preferably more) morning workouts in next week!
