JsMommy - Congrats!! You'll be out of the 250s in no time! IP = Ideal Protein (I think)
Mela - I'm pretty much starting from scratch again too. I serioulsy hate how easy it is for me to gain (and I don't have PCOS) Yet it's like I have to scrape every lb off in the most painful way. Weight loss is tough.
I've fallen hard. I refuse to lie about it. We had a huge festival here this week and my husband was like "I have to be able to eat at the Fair. It's all I can do since I won't ride." He gets really motion sick. So my kids and I rode everything we could and had a blast, but I snacked on his foods all night. I think he tried everything they had to offer and ended with a funnel cake. Oh well those days are past me.
I'm starting a Whole30 on Monday with a group of ladies that I was pregnant with back in 2009. We've stayed in touch throughout the years as our babies grew up I told my mother this yesterday and he response was "Do you think you'll really do that for 30 days? with a bit of a laugh. It made me so mad. I may go for 60 just to throw it in their faces. I know that's the wrong attitude to have but I'll take whatever motivation I can get and that lit a fire under my butt. We'll see who's laughing after the 30 days.
I had a mostly off weekend, but I knew I would. My birthday was last week, and I had plans to go out with friends to celebrate, so I knew I would be having some extra liquid calories. I did get up and walk 4 miles Saturday morning. I had such a good time with my friends though, that I didn't really worry too much about any damage done. I knew I could come back from whatever I may have gained. I'm pleasantly surprised though. Even after that, and a big family Easter dinner yesterday, I am STILL sticking in the 250s. Woohoo me! lol.
One of my very good friends and I have been close to the same size for a long time. Due to our schedules, we talk/text a lot, but really don't see each other much. She was off, and came with me for my bday celebration Saturday. We ALWAYS take pics together. I was shocked to see the pics from Saturday of the two of us together. I'm getting a lot smaller than her. I don't mean that in a mean way, by no means. It was just strange to me to see a pic of us together where I look visibly smaller. Kind of bittersweet, if that makes any sense.
Ladies, I do believe I am firmly OUT of the 260s! Woohoo!!! Yay me! This morning was 257.4. After going back and forth, and then back and forth again from 263-260, it feels SOOOOOO good to be out of that zone. I have a goal to get to 248 by the end of April, to firmly establish myself out of the 250s. I am feeling confident that I will hit that goal! Yay!!!
I'm back, starting over again. Monday was my first day of exercise, bootcamp and healthy eating. I'm determined this time and know this group was a help before. Looking forward to making out of the 260's adn 250's with you all!
Welcome back momtopands! I too recently had to start over. This is a wonderful place to do so. Good luck to you!!
From yesterday to today, my weight dropped 2 lbs. I know that's not a normal thing, and I fully expect it to go back up in a day or two. But overall, I am still making my way down. It would be nice if those 2 lbs would stick. That would put me only 3 lbs away from 40 lbs lost. 40 lbs. Forty. That amazes me. I have never before done so well. At most, any time before I lost 20 lbs max. And then gained it back, plus some. I feel so empowered doing this this time around.
So I am back for the 3rd or 4th time. I got really unhealthy and tracking obsessed the last time I tried to lose weight. Got all the way down to the 220's and then spiraled all the way up to the 280's. Since the last time ai was on here I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, which has made things MUCH more difficult. I have very slowly but steadily lost about 20 lbs, but keep bouncing between high 250's and mid to low 260's. Most of that is due to unmanaged binge eating periods. I am really hoping this group can help me keep away from the binging and stay focused. I am desperate to lose weight not only because I am not happy with how I look right now, but because I have to for my health. Anyway, this is me reintroducing myself!
Hi I'm new to this site. I hope to shed this weight. I stated insanity @ 266 (on Monday! ) I'm down to 262 as of yesterday. Idk how that happened but I'm not complaining! I'm pretty active for my weight. I've done turbo fire 3xs a week for the past year but with a horrible diet. I'm starting fresh! With a diet. Any plus size completed insanity? 😊 good luck to ya'll!
Oh well those days are past me. 
I told my mother this yesterday and he response was "Do you think you'll really do that for 30 days? with a bit of a laugh. It made me so mad. I may go for 60 just to throw it in their faces.
