@ama3387 - what an awesome loss! congratulations

Hi Melissa! Like other posters have said, baby steps and small changes is a great place to start. You will find lots of people you can relate to here. Best of luck on your journey!

@denjan333 - I'm sorry, I didn't mean to overstep or make you uncomfortable. I have anxiety and I know how hard it is. :smile:
-
Congrats on the 10K!! I have similar goals for my upcoming 1st 5K (please don't let me be last :D ) Cheers to you for taking steps in treating your anxiety and depression and being kind to yourself. I know how hard that is. Have a great week!

@denjan333 - how long have you been married? I have this problem with my husband too. He is the sweetest and most supportive hubby ever, I'm very lucky, but I have trouble asking for help! I will literally be running in circles in the house, and he will be in the backyard watching TV with no idea that I need him. Then I…

SW: 251 GW: 160 9/1 - 241 9/8 - 237 9/15 - 235 9/22 - 232.4 9/29 - I had a good weekend. My family is starting to change a little to accomodate me and my new way of eating. No offering me junk every 5-10 minutes. My family gatherings are tough on watching calories since everyone on my side of the family is overweight, and…

LOL I'm drama-free. I have LOTS of weight to lose too. And I sit for hours at a time at work, most days no bathroom breaks. Check, check, check.

Hello - I sent you a friend request. We have similar stats, background, current family situations, and I'm also doing keto. I hope we can help and support each other reach our goals :)
-
I just love reading everyone's perspectives and personal experiences! It's great to see things from all angles, so thanks everyone. I'll keep the Mon/Fri weigh-ins for now. I think I'll slowly incorporate more in the future. The City of Houston flooded horribly yesterday - our offices closed early. It took 2hrs to get home…

I had my first workout yesterday since I started this weight loss journey, and it felt good! Like really good! I missed…

@RavenStCloud, @Terytha, @amkita Ok, so this might actually be a thing? :D My no pass no go number is 231. Last two failed attempts at weight loss stalled at 231. So naturally I'd just give up and wrap myself in chocolate cake when I'd stall because in my mind I could never get into the 220s. I'm close to it again, so I…

Congratulations for getting in the 250s! I hope you have so much fun in LA and at Disneyland.

@mish26 , @Amerek412 , @marezac6815 , @sikorski - WELCOME! I joined late too :wink: thank you @gesundundmunter! I guess things are a little different since my previous journey. @raggamuffin82 and @kiela64 - congrats on your awesome losses so far!
-
You look fantastic! All your hard work is paying off
-
Yes!! Thank you so much for sharing, you are an inspiration. You look wonderful! I have several naysayers in my life too, I'm hoping I will prove them wrong this time.
-
A few petty reasons: 1) I want to weigh less than my hubby 2) Our daughter is into BMX. I want to join in on family bike rides / practice. Tired of sitting on the sidelines! 3) I want to wear my wedding ring again 4) I want to look HOT for my 40th bday next year :)
-
Yup - definitely ON TARGET! Way to go. I'm hoping your new diet gives you some relief soon.
-
Halloween birthdays must be so much fun!! Your goal is doable - you definitely got this. My birthday is in May - the big 4-Oh! :o Now that is pretty scary. My goal is to be 175 by then.
-
Wow great loss so far! I bet your clothes are already fitting better :)
-
SAME. If someone knows - please let us know how to edit!

I'm in because I love Halloween and I'm always up for a challenge!! My usual weigh in days are Mondays, but it couldn't hurt to weigh in on Friday too. Highest Start weight: 251 Current weight: 235 Challenge goal: 221 Ultimate goal: 160 9/13: 235 9/20: 9/27: 10/4: 10/11: 10/18: 10/25: 10/31:

YAY you!! Congratulations on your milestone and reaching Onederland

Oh my gosh, I love love handbags too! I usually just admire from afar LOL. I'd love a new Coach bag - that's definitely on my list. I have a gray Michael Kors and a tan crossbody Coach, but my everyday bag is a black and gold Steve Madden. As a treat for sticking with it and losing 20lbs, I am getting a very nice, small,…

SW: 251 GW: 160 9/1 - 241 9/8 - 237 9/15 - 235 9/22 - 9/29 - Hubby's birthday was Thursday, but he works nights, so we celebrated Friday. Friday was full of temptation - there were breakfast tacos, donuts, and kolaches at work (I stuck to my yummy bullet-proof coffee). Client lunch was at a hibachi grill (I was in heaven…

I enjoyed reading this so much, it was very inspiring and honest. What a wonderful journey, highs and lows, bargaining, disbelief - it all comes with the determination to keep going. Congratulations!

LOL - wow that makes me feel bad because I haven't been to the Sawdust Rd Fitness Connection since it was remodeled...what like 4 or 5 yrs back??? I go on occasion to the 1960 Humble location. I live literally in the middle and in between both. I've always wanted to try Zumba!! Back in the day I used to KILL the wii just…

Yes! Why can't people understand that people's weight and appearance is off-limits? My mother has a bad habit of analyzing and scrutinizing my weight, size, appearance. It drives me nuts. I am ok with my hubby and daughters telling me they can see a difference or my hard work is paying off. But co-workers and casual…
