Wednesday weigh in: LW: 232 6 CW: 232.6 No loss this week. Which bummed me out. I started strength training this week and all my muscles are sore, which I imagine might be masking a small loss.

Hello big butts! My name is Vi and I started my weigh loss journey up again on June first. July was my first month in this group. I've been losing weight off and on since I was 17, and I'm currently 33. My highest weight was a whopping 403lbs at age 18. I got down to 275 by the age of 25. After that I got down to my 250s…

I have that and its uneven weight loss for me. Then after awhile it evens back out then does it all over again. Lol
