Ladies! This is the 2nd to last weigh in, this challenge ends on March 3rd when we say so. (Unless of course you'd like to extend it a month, it could go on & on - my friend)
If you would like to advance this another month, please say so. You ladies are doing SO well and it has been amazing to see you guys climb into the higher %! A lot of you are fast tracking towards 10%. I do not mind continuing this.
Food is such a struggle for me lately. I need to get motivated to track what I eat on MFP...but it is so much harder to do here than in the U.S. And finding food that is actually satisfying and doesn't leave me wanting snacks an hour later is a battle. I honestly do better when we eat out or order take out because the food is so much better.
No loss or gain, which I'm actually ok with considering the king cake my FIL shipped to us and the 5 zillion girl scout cookies my husband brought home. Saboteurs!

The snacking has been KILLING me. Part of my problem is H doesn't get home until 8pm often. I've been waiting for him to eat, bc that's part of 'our time' is dinner, but I go crazy at around 5pm and eat anything I can find.

Despite having a few celebrations I'm down 1. I've really worked hard at portion control and balancing my days (I have one day where I'm okay with going over my calorie count and it makes the other days go well). I'm on track as far as weight loss goes so happy!

Down .7. I will definitely take this, considering last Friday we had pizza at a staff meeting and then cookies as a welcome to a new staff member. And I failed at the whole moderation thing with both.
I think the switch has finally flipped for me - I've been struggling for the past six months at least to find motivation to get healthier, all the while loathing myself for gaining weight and losing strength. But I'm on a half-marathon training schedule now, and researching/working on cutting out processed and added sugars from my diet - my goal is that by Lent, I'll be able to go cold turkey. Feeling good this week!
How are you? I know you were having a rough time. Did you get last week's weigh ins? You're so nice to do this. I would seriously consider if you want to keep going another month.
I'm not weighing in this week. Nope nope nope - it's not going to be pretty. We've either eaten out or I've let DH do the cooking while I cram. I also skipped the gym all week in favor of more study time.
I DID go to the Dr this week (I don't count that weight, I was fully clothed with boots and it was after lunch. =0) ). We ran a blood panel to check my sugar and thyroid levels. I do think I've got something going on. Whether its just the PCOS or something else - but this should hopefully give us some answers.
There are a number of y'all that are KICKING ASS! Great job, and keep up the good work!
up 1.2 from my last weigh in which was 2 Monday's ago. I am ok with this. I am trying to not rely on the scale as much because it REALLY had me down a couple weeks ago to not see it move and that led to a week of bingeing. I am concentrating on weights right now so the scale isn't budging but I AM seeing results so I am ok. I was actually able to zip pants this morning that I could not three weeks ago <) they were still too uncomfortable to wear but they zipped!
