Hi girls Checking in to say hi and update as well. This month is going by so fast!
I did a WI this morning and am down exactly 4 lbs! I was 182.8 on the 3rd when I checked in and am 178.8 this morning! My goal was 6.8 lb. loss so I am going for it! So happy things are moving again this month.
I drank my water the past 2 nights and I think that has been helpful. I had slacked off on it a bit and I see it really making a difference.
Leah yay on making goal! and to everyone else who made goal and also on the losses.
takingcontrol You are so close to onderland! keep up the great work.
nancy hi there : ) what a smart idea with the fitbit!
Ophelia Congrats on that 4.2 lb. loss this week and the 5 mile walk! That is awesome girl...WTG.
Nichols I think your doing great! I know how irritating the scale can be but looking at your chart and your start weight to current just about 5 lb loss! Oh I see, it was down more on the 18nth, that will come off again...the scale just likes to play with our heads sometimes! Keep up the great work.
kfunk wtg on the calories yesterday and today! Wishing you another great day.
Britt congrats on the drop as well! : )
A big hi to everyone else and as always sorry if I missed anyone. It is so inspiring to come in and read your news and see everyone's progress and the sharing of our journeys make it so much more fun!
As for me, no exercise yesterday..cleaning and chores so today I have to squeeze in a workout. We have 9 days left including today! I don't have any plans or events this weekend so taking it through day by day, with that being said, I better move my tush! Wishing you all a great day, keep up the great work everyone, onward and downward we go
Nose is running. Sneezing. Coughing. All that fun stuff! Really ready for bed honestly but I'm at work... only 1/2 the day left to go.

Rough couple of days, but I'm back in the game today! I've decided to ONLY weigh on Sundays, so that is when I will be updating from now on. I will be reading and cheering you all on throughout the week!
takingcontrol: My 5 mile walk takes me about 1 hr, 45 minutes each time, up to 10 mins less or a couple minutes longer if I end up doing a little bit over the 5 mile mark. I don't just saunter along, but I definitely don't push the speed a ton either...working on distance first, then I will up the speed. Haha.
kfunk6113: Thank you, and nice drop! Also, when I first started eating better/watching portions and counting everything again, I realized that I was coming up a little low on calories, so I started adding heartier things in like seeded toast and things like almonds, avocado, or hummus to round up the calories in a healthy way. If you find you're not eating enough, maybe try adding a few things like that here and there and see if they nourish you and get your body to let go of holding on to everything because it is thinking it's getting in too little to sustain itself long-term. Hopefully you will find your perfect range! And, I bet focusing on your water will help, too.
Nicholsfamily1987: I know this is a couple days late, but eating later than usual will get me, too. I see you're coming back down steadily from that already, though! Hope you feel better soon.
nancymlrn: I'm sorry you are struggling. If you're totally OP and the only thing you are giving an exception to is a little bit of alcohol, I'd go ahead and cut it out of your diet for a full week or two to see if it has any impact. You're right that everything is perfectly fine in moderation, but I'd try it just to see if you are sensitive to the empty calories and just add it back in if you don't see a difference! I've had to try that with a few different things myself. Also, I may have to try that trick with my FitBit next time I'm having to use my arms and can't swing them naturally...thanks for the tip!
LovelyLeah: Nice drop!
Weekend Boater: Thank you, and congrats on the 4 lbs down!! That's great!
brd88: See you on Sundays, and I hope this coming week will be a better one for you!
________________________________
Weigh-in was 245.0 today. Did 5.5 miles on my walk last night, so I'd say the shoes are fully broken in. Still struggling to get more than the same 12 servings on my water every day, but will continue to work on it. Hope everyone is having a great day!

Hello everyone; today is Friday weigh-in day.
Good luck to everyone this month!
Thank you very much kfunk, opheliaphoenix, LovelyLeah, takingcontrol for the words of support!
Congratulations on Onederland takingcontrol . I should be reaching Twoderland pretty soon.
Congratulations opheliaphoenix on your 4.2 loss for the week.
Congratulations on showing a loss kfunk. I haven't started the CPAP yet because I haven't met with the doctor yet for the followup visit folloing the sleep study. That is in a couple of weeks.
Congratulations LovelyLeah on your loss and making your 198 goal.
I found out at the weight loss clinic that I am diabetic - a real shock - I have never been diabetic. I go to see my primary care physician this morning to find out what I need to do.

Britt hoping yesterday was a better day for you and now it's a new day, hang in there and keep at it. It takes time sometimes and some days are just harder than other days. Anyways, wishing you a good one!
Ophelia Thanks you!
Takingcontrol Congratulationssssss on reaching onderland! That is a great milestone, wtg!
Nichols hope your feeling better today
Leah nice looking chart you have there. Hope all is well, keep up the great work.
nancy It must be, you will get it off...keep plugging away at it with that fantastic tenaciousness that you have! : ) btw, thanks for the kind words in the other thread, ditto! always a pleasure to read your posts too!
darius congrats on your loss so far this month, that is wonderful. I am sorry that you had an unpleasant shock recently. Hang in there and keep up the hope, I have heard many stories where people were pre diabetic were able to reverse it. I hope the visit goes well with your doc.
As for me, as some of you know, I WI sporadically and I will report my final WI on 4/1....I always use that last day and then I can report my weight on the first for our new April challenge! In any event, I will be updating soon before then. Wishing you all a great weekend and for us all through the weekend. Let's finish strong!
This has really been a challenging month for me with such low loss. I do have a structured workout program I will be starting on Monday and see if that helps either move the scale or change my over all fat placement
Week 4
22-157.8
23-158.8 hope this is just water retention

Thanks for the encouragement, Ophelia and Weekend!
I don't think I will meet my goal (I just realized March 31 is next week - OMG!), but I just hope I'm not too set back when I WI on Sunday. I plan to take up OMAD starting today, so we will see how that works out.
Back down this morning WOOHOO..Let's see if it stays down!
Really need to amp up my workouts but have been really lazy.
Hope everyone is doing great today! TGIF!!
