Danielle 48 years old Challenge October starting weight 266.6 UGW: 150 5'5" Tall I do check-ins when I can: 9/30: 266.6 10/1: (no weigh in) 10/2: (no weigh in) 🎃What are your plans for October? And are you trying to accomplish anything (big or small) in the last three months of 2024? I want to lose at least 20 lbs and get…

I've missed my crew on here. June turned out to be a bad brain month. Everything felt wrong. Everything seemed overwhelming. I didn't want to move. Didn't care about what I ate. I am starting to feel better and my bosses have recommended a vacation. Even if it is driving to the beach and dipping my toes in the water for a…

Happy Monday, ladies!! Hoping to show a little loss this week, but I will be honest, I haven't been the best. So I had a long hard talk with myself. Sitting at home by myself all day doesn't do well for me. So I thought about what helped me be successful in the past. I dusted off my lunch bag and packed all of my meals,…

44 years old SW: 282 CW: 256.8 Interim GW: 245 Goals:* Accurately track every bite/drink * Actually get outside and exercise * Drink 96 ounces of water a day * Weight training at least 2x a week Not a large list. That's 4 things, 4 weeks, 1 item a week?

You all are truly inspiring. Thank you for letting my glimpse into your lives. My first day of PTO was a bust. Upper Management decided to put me in the middle of a misunderstanding and I spent all morning in a conference call. And then I got the call that I had to let go of one of my junior members. A transgression his…

Thank you @speyerj! Some times you just need to hear "You know what? You're doing okay!" @orangequilt, If I understand correctly, it's not that you are anxious, but now that your brain isn't feeling as sluggish, there's more room for overthinking, etc.?

Oh how I have missed everyone here! I have to admit, I haven't weighed in for nearly a month. I needed a break mentally. Stress has been so high with working from home. I find myself working longer hours and not moving as much. I've been stressing on making sure my team members continue to have a job (I'm a team lead) all…

I had a day today. I didn’t want water. I didn’t want to exercise. I didn’t want to eat my food but I wanted junk. I guess this is the funks?

I got too dependent on coffee and sodas. 2. Stay within my calories 6 out of 7 days. I need one day to allow my sister to cook. She doesn't believe in…

Today marks my 35th day in lockdown. My company issued their "Stay At Home" mandate on March 13th. I reclaimed my love of cooking, but packed on more than a few pounds. I am back on track and seeing the scale slowly tick down. (Started at 256.6 and weighed in as 253.2 this morning.) It's been hard. I never realized how…

I’m all for new friends!!!

Hiya! I am wavering between 100 - 120 lbs to lose, so if you need someone to complain to, share recipes with....Feel free to friend me!

I’ve been remiss in this thread... I’ve been having a tough time the past few weeks.

Me! I need more motivation! My bf is very close to his goal and I have been slacking. So... Here I go!! SW: 282.2 (ugh) CW: 242 GW (5/27/19): 229

Don’t know if this helps, but I just manually entered my “active” minutes. Still in the red today, but meh! I figured I would after our meal.

Do you have to be 30-something? I'm just barely in my 40s (feel like I'm still in my 20s) and I have just over 100lbs left to go and I am 46 down. Am I too old?

Here's a question I haven't seen asked, how involved are you going to be in your food preparation? I only ask because you can always get convenience meals, but the sodium level is high, etc. If you want to spend some time cooking and playing with your food, I am in love with www.skinnytaste.com. She has some delicious…

I finally bit the bullet after a weekend full of Whisky Tango Foxtrots. (Side note: I'm 0.2 lbs away from my first 40.)

Sorry everyone! I've been having some family drama that would rival some soap operas, but I've still been working on me.

But I weighed in again this morning and I'm down one more pound from yesterday, but I'll put that on next week's update.

Thank you! I'm actually taking this seriously this time. Of course I'm scared to death of the actual turkey day. I'm normally the one making the food! Everyone is expecting all of the family traditional dishes.

Blargh....Upped my workout...adjusted my eating....down teeny-tiny bit....

Hello fellow WW-Defector! KOMRADE! (J/K). Remember all of those tips they gave you in the meetings? I still preplan. I know my weekends are jacked, so I have learned some tips for when going out: 1. Kid's meals - but really only if they are small portions of a normal meal and not just macaroni and cheese. 2. App/Side Salad…

Ok, doing Sundays: 8/13: 261.0 8/20: 259.2 TL: 1.8

My weigh-in day is Sunday. This week I've upped my steps to 5 miles a day. Going to add in weight training and curvy yoga starting this weekend.

Ok, I'm going to suck it up. 261, 5'5", hoping to be at 229 by the dreaded turkey massacre.
