How is Everyone doing? I just update my weigh in's on my first post so I haven't commented much on this thread. I'm 1.8 LBS from being half-way to my Goal Weight. Warm weather will be here soon. Good Luck, Everyone!

Hi Sweetpoison. Welcome back to 3FatChicks. I agree that this thread is slow moving, but there is another year long challenge that is more active if you're interested.

I finally updated my weigh-in. Somehow I am weighing in on a different day here than on other challenges so starting next week I am going to switch over to Friday to be consistent all around.
So far I have maintained all but 1 lb of the loss I had from the hospital. It is helping to keep me on the straight and narrow since I really, really, want to maintain this and continue on down. It would feel so wonderful to see the 180s again!!!! I feel that God gave me that loss to give me a boost, and the least I can do it work to continue on. It does take work, but it is so worth it to feel better and be healthier.
I just realized I hadn't posted an end-of-the-month update on this thread since FEBRUARY! So, here's my recap for May...and, it's the first month that I actually hit my monthly goal since January, so I'm hoping that means I will do better in June, as well. We shall see! How is everyone else doing so far??
Posting my end-of-month update for June! Not a great month, and I will be traveling/on vacation for a couple weeks in July, so not sure what to expect for next month, either. We shall see, lol. Hope everyone is still going strong now that we are halfway through the year!
I'm joining this thread late, as I'd like to have a place to track my month over month goals for the year, even though I know I won't hit my ultimate goal this year.
Just started on March 18th at 267.4. My goal for 2018 is Onederland, which will require an average of 7 pounds per month, so that is my goal.
How is everyone doing? I still struggling to get half way to my goal weight. I have been maintaining but could still reach goal weigh if I stay on my food plan. I have been getting to the gym some but not doing enough cardio. Good Luck, Everyone!
I really truly thought I was going to have to post a gain this week for the first time. I don't think I've ever been so happy to post a 0.8 pound loss. Way behind schedule for this month's goal, but I have 19 days left in the month to get back on track.
This week, I lost the most weight I've ever lost in a week (4.0 pounds). Even more than I did the very first week, when all the water weight falls off. Not sure why or how, but this was a GREAT week. I've been doing some reading online, and for people with PCOS, it appears that cutting a substantial amount of sugar out of the diet can help fix insulin resistance (basically reset the body's ability to process sugar correctly, like normal people do), but it can take a few months to get there, so for some people, weight loss can actually accelerate once you reach that point.. I didn't know that when I started, but coincidentally, that's the biggest change I've made, is cutting out all of the snacky foods, and thus, a lot of the sugar. I'm also eating a lot less bread and drinking a lot less milk, both of which have sugar. And it's been 5 months. So maybe that is what is happening. I really hope so. I'd love to be able to keep this rate of weight loss for a while.
I got back to my lowest weight of 203.8 LBS this Year which I was in April. Next I want to reach Onderland! I don't know if I will reach my new GW for the this Year. Good Luck, Everyone!
