Winter Weight Loss Weekly Challenge
I've been enjoying having these weekly weigh ins that are based on the seasons. They help keep me on track without being so long that I lose sight of more short term goals. So here is the winter one if anyone wants to join. I've set up the days that I'm going to be weighing in on as well as my goal. You don't have to have…

Fall Weight Loss Weekly Challenge
So the last challenge I was in really seemed to help me stay on track. I like the idea of keeping the challenge to the actual seasons. I know it's arbitrary but I like the reminder that everything has it's season. Feel free to join me for the fall and hopefully we can support each other during the potentially difficult…

Should I carb load? If so, any tips?
Hey all!! More likely than not, on December 8th I will be testing for yellow belt in krav maga. The test starts at 1pm and will be 4-5 hours of fighting with no real breaks except for grabbing a quick drink. This test will be about skill, but it's more about aggression so it will be 4-5 hours of fairly intense fighting. My…

Getting out of your own way
For the past three weeks I have been bouncing back and forth within the same 4 pound range. I am still accurately weighing and logging everything. I weigh myself under the same conditions every day. No I am not close to goal. I still have over 100 pounds to lose, I'm well over 200, and I'm class 3 obese. I did take two…

Can we talk it out together?
My body doesn't seem to want to level off as far as weight loss rate. I am continuing to lose too quickly. I noticed a dip in my week to week for about two weeks, but overall my rate of loss is still too steep. I have it set to lose two pounds per week which would be ok since I started my journey at 272.5 lbs and I'm…

Small successes
I debated on whether or not to post this. Sometimes it can be hard to celebrate smaller successes when you see people celebrating their big successes and you still have a long way to go. However, if you don't celebrate the small, it's hard to hold it for the big. I also have a hard time tooting my own horn sometimes, but I…

Just need to rant.
I want sure which forum to put it in and I don't really need motivation. I'm putting it here though because I need y'all to super my right to rant! Today I was feeling pretty good about myself because I hit the 30 pounds lost. However I have been having a lot of negative self talk recently so I want letting myself get too…

Exercise that isn't in database
I have recently started doing krav maga and I'm trying to figure out how to log my exercise. It's not found in the database for MFP or Fitbit. I have been looking it as martial arts or kickboxing since those are the closest but still not quite right. I also just started a heavy bag class which is like cardio Krav done like…

Ostrich meat
This may end up rambling a bit but I do have a point. Sorry in advance. I've been working on losing weight and eating better since June 19th. I've got logging down and it's pretty well a habit at this point. I am able to keep to my calorie goal and generally feel satisfied. Sometimes I have hungry days so I let myself eat…
