My own fault for not facing the camera, so the second photo was rejected. But then they changed the weigh in word so I have to redo both photos, but I've eaten lunch etc and barely scraped by this morning. I guess I'll see what it says tomorrow morning. Just frustrating.

Today I had to stay home to watch my daughter, so we decided to go to the library. It's a mile, so we opted to walk. Of course, I ended up carrying my 30 pound toddler about 2/3 of the way.

My highest weight was about 30 pounds heavier than I am now. Carrying my daughter, I realized how much extra weight I carried for so long, and how liberated I feel not having that extra baggage. Motivation to keep me going! (and carrying a toddler the better part of 2 miles should count as cardio!)

I've been at 225 (Currently 185). I regularly work out with 20 pound weights in each hand. It totally winds me to have to stand up with the 20 pound weights and lift them over my head.

Keep strong and motivated!

Michael C.

It is crazy when we think of it that way!

A good sign! The word for this weigh in was my late husband's nickname! Coincidence or not, I'll take it as a sign he's with me. ā˜ŗ

Hope everyone made it through the holidays so far. I ate in excess a bit but also realized I've kinda lost my taste for really sweet things. Birthday soon, so I'll have cake but otherwise eliminating sugar has helped a lot!

It's nice to enjoy the holidays some. Keep on track with your goals. You got it!

Somer C.

It's crazy how much sugar affects a person!

Not doing great so far. Been tackling back-to-back-to-back illnesses (COVID, double ear infection, and a sinus infection). While my eating has been very healthy, I've been unable to exercise, and I'm now on steroids to help me heal. Unfortunately the steroids are pushing my weight in the opposite direction! I know it's only temporary, but still very discouraging!

Hang in there. Take care of yourself. Being healthy is always more important than a number. Hope you feel better soon.

Iā€™m in steroids too for a shoulder injury. Feeling the effects of not exercising much and the meds :disappointed:

Eli, Michael, Tracy, Brian and everyone else, how are you doing!?!?!?!

Yesterday I celebrated Christmas and resisted all the carbs! Ate extra prime rib tho! šŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹

Down 5 poundsish since the start of the challenge.

It's not for everyone, but posting here sure helps me stay motivated!

I have the same thing happen when I start working out! Really messes with my head. Glad you know your body and understand it will come back off!

Brian S.
