Start Weight (March 6): 250.0 lbs

I've been stubbornly holding near 250 since Saturday. Been on plan so I'm pretty sure it's a TOM issue, now just trying to be patient in waiting it out...

Going for 30 pounds. Good luck all! :)

7/4 - 182 *had to adjust my goal

niafabo--:D Weight loss is all about challenging yourself, right? I know it seems a tad ridiculous, but for me, I find that setting high goals motivates me to work harder in order to achieve them. Even if I don't reach it by that deadline, I believe I'll lose faster if my goal is higher. Kind of weird logic, but it keeps me motivated :D
Good luck with your weight loss, ladies!!!

welcome Pint Sized Terror and Serbrider.

@Our Lady Bonbon glad you found a way to keep yourself motivated. that sort of thing doesn't work for me. i get super depressed if i don't get near my weight goals in the time frame i set for myself.

don't forget to check in everybody :)

Welcome everyone! I'm so glad there are so many of you joining, that means there is that much more support for all of us. So this week I did well calorie wise but I had alcohol on Tues and have been alot heavier on sodium through the week. I was only down 0.8lbs this week, i hope it is because of water retention. I hurt my glute this week but was exercising anyways, but I tried running yesterday and it hurt so bad so I am going to take a week off cardio to let my leg heal so I'm kinda worried about how next week will go

7/4 - *hopefully Onderland or below!!!*

OK, checking in. :)

pixikat - that definitely sounds like water retention to me. Get in your water this weekend if you can, as that will help with your glute too. Does it feel ok enough that you think you could do some gentle walking this week, instead of breaking from the cardio altogether? It seems like the walking could maybe help the muscle to heal some. Either way, I hope you're feeling better soon. :hug:


I finally saw a drop yesterday morning after holding way too steady for 5 days, and was so pleased I changed my ticker even though I don't normally do that until my official weigh-in day on Wednesdays. Unfortunately, I've been undereating this week because I've felt so crummy due to TOM, but I've still gotten my exercise in (5 days out of the last 6) and I'm feeling much more like my old self tonight. I'm really looking forward to a good few days of eating in my normal calorie range, and hoping for a good weigh-in on Wednesday.

chickadee- I am a delivery driver for auto zone so I walk between 6000 and 7000 steps per day before added cardio and im up and down ladders through out the day, im hoping that itll be enough to stretch it and not too much to strain it more.

Oh yeah, that's a LOT of walking already. Why do I always assume everyone is like me - almost completely sedentary except for my gym time? :lol: Sorry about that. Hope you're able to heal quickly!

niafabo-- to each her own! It doesn't really matter as long as we're both successful, and looking at your ticker, your progress is amazing. I'm so jealous of your loss-- I can't wait to have lost 60 lbs!
pixikat-- I'm sorry to hear about your glute and water retention :( I hope you see a bigger change on the scale soon, and that you feel better.
chickadee-- Maybe you assume that because there ARE other people like you out there... like me! As sad as I am to say it, I'm basically a sloth until I haul myself to the gym and turn beast mode on :D
I've been having a rough week... I've been up and up and up on the scale, and finally today I got down to 179 again. It's so frustrating because I've been doing everything right, even switching my exercise up and changing the percentages of food nutrition (like upping my protein and lowering my carbs, etc). Frankly, I think it's a pre-TOM thing. At least, I'm hoping it is :( On the bright side, I did finish Couch to 5k last night! :carrot:

May I join? I log my weight constantly :)My goal is to be at 125, and to run a 5k (run, not win lol) in late June/early July!
