21 day fix starting 6/19/17
I am going to start the 21day fix Monday. I am looking for support and accountability. I'm not a coach. I'm not looking to sell anything to anyone and I do not want to be sold anything. I just need some people to do this with. I'll post my measurements and weight Sunday.

Lost community and motivation .... And full use of a knee
over the last two years I turned into a little bit of a gym rat and I loved it I was there every day mostly group fitness. I didn't lose a lot but I started to get fit but I over did it and hurt my knee and had to back off the more strenuous stuff. I tried to switch to slower less intense stuff but it's a different kind of…

The dreaded Plateau
I have officially been yo-yoing between 155-157 for 2 weeks. I am hungry alllllllll the time now. I have decided to dry something new for a little bit. Maybe no eating after 8 and upping my water intake. I've also started adding like 200 quick calories before i start the day to try to give myself some wiggle room. I don't…

Feeling a little bit deflated
I have had control issues with food for a while but I have been doing so much better in the last couple of months. I will see something I want and I will tell myself " okay if it's that serious you can get it tomorrow" and usually the next day I do not want it anymore or I will get some version of it that is better for me.…

NSV's and then the SCALE VICTORY OF COURSE!
I will start with my scale victory!! I hit 157 today... That is OFFICIALLY 20 pounds down from 3 months ago! I can't really see a difference but I'm okay with that because I like how I look and always have. The number on the scale is 8 pounds lighter than my drivers license WHEN I WAS 16! According to my goal plans I have…

Is this a problem or am I just not used to being active
I have never been as active as I am being right now in my entire life... Jogging, cardio classes and free weights but I have noticed in my cardio classes like Zumba and stuff like that, I will hit this point where I feel dangerously close to passing out ( like to the point where I feel my eyes roll back) but if I can push…

cheat day question
This is going to sound really dumb but is a cheat day or meal a day in which you go over your calories or is it just eating whatever you want within your calories... I'm just curios because I am by no means a clean eater... although I'm getting better... I have always ate what I wanted...just less... but the idea of ONE…

Stagnation with food
I think I'm starting to get stagnant. I eat the same things over and over again out of habit. Maybe I will start doing little food challenges like a week without something like cheese or a week without frozen dinners ( because I eat a lot of them). What do you guys think?

Scared to believe in my progress
I have weighed myself four times in the last week and each time I have been in the ball park of 157..... The last time I weighed this I was in 7th grade ( I've always been heavy). I haven't recorded this in my fitness pal because I am so scared that I will believe it and next week or two weeks from now it'll say something…

In the past I have logged pretty accurately until my late night binges. But lately I have been trying to be as accurate and accountable as possible. It is very hard because I HATE looking at the red on my log. but 2 days ago I had a VERY bad day and where I would usually try to downplay it like " it prob wasn't even that…

Trying to get healthy without becoming obsessed
I have struggled with compulsive overeating for quite some time and now I am trying to change my life and get control over food. My goal is to weigh 20 pounds less but my real goal is not to be a slave to food. Now I have started using counters to keep myself accountable and some pounds later I thought I was getting a grip…

I had…
