I didn’t make my second round 😔 usually this is the time I give up but I am not giving up. On to round 3 😀

Didn't quite make it this round. But trying to stay positive and not give up. Not meeting goals is flat out unacceptable in my mind so it's really hard for me. Feeling like a loser this time but hoping I can turn it around and step up the next one.

Almost forgot to weigh in. Excited for next month, I'm so close to onederland and it's been 20 years since I've been there.

I was wondering where everybody is from

I start

I am from Germany close to Frankfurt and currently live close to Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

Just had twins one month ago ! Can’t workout yet because I had a c section but will be trying to eat clean to shed a few pounds ! Wish me luck !

Does anyone see a prompt to submit the initial weigh in?

I met my goal for round 1 which I'm very happy about but today I've been looking at my personal *final* goal weight which is to lose another 65 lbs and im just feeling negative and defeated and not sure if I'll be able to stick to a program for THAT long. Obviously I didn't gain all this weight overnight so I can't lose it overnight but thinking about this as like a year long journey just feels very overwhelming and exhausting. Im currently on a sabbatical from work so I've been able to focus my energy towards becoming healthier but I will be returning to work soon and im a *STRESS EATER* and really worried about it.

What do yall do when you're feeling down, how do you turn your attitude around and not lose the inspiration? Halp. 😩

Hey there WayBetter Kristin!?!?! I think I have made an oppose. I weighed myself yesterday and new I could make it by today but shouldn’t have submitted the photo. Didn’t know I couldn’t submit another one today!! Though we had until today to submit official photo. I made it but am I just that “day late and a dollar short” this time? Or is it that they can use this entry as my entry?????

If you have been consistently losing weight week by week give ur body a rest day, after your weigh-in . Increase your calories by 10% and don't workout just take a rest day. Do it 1 day to 3 days depending on how many pounds u dropped so far. Let ur body know ur not dying and not starving lol and that everything is really ok 😂 ur body will thank u and fix any hormonal issues it maybe going thru that u have no idea about yet( usually ur body will give u a clue at a plateau, of ok I'm done. I reject this plan now lol) by trying to avoid more weight loss coming sooner or later, that phase will come. But Try to combat that early on before it hits. By doing this now, and ur body will actually give u more pounds to drop in the coming weeks; verses holding on to them for dear life.

Every several weeks I have a high calorie(increase 10%) day or 2 in a row and no 'real workout' for 3 days in a row. and firmly believe in balanced diet of pro, carb,and fat every meal to keep my body and organs happy and hormones happy(I'll stay active but no weight training and dedicated days of specifics during those days) This is all for the sake of trying to stop my body from entering a total freak out zone.
