Thanks! Iā€™ve actually done it before about 18 years ago. Thatā€™s why I was calling them vanity pounds lol I used to weigh 206lbs and I lost 85 lbs. Iā€™ve gained a bit of it back recently but Iā€™d still like to lose it. I have a home gym but itā€™s torn apart right now because I bought a house last year and the stinking garage keeps flooding. It actually flooded this week again. Iā€™m trying to find someone right now that can build these types of drainage systems to stop it. Once I get it put back together Iā€™ll take pictures. Iā€™m hoping it will be soon.

Day 3 of no sugar/processed foods/snacky snacksā€¦

Iā€™m feeling very tired today. Very flatā€¦ Sugar withdrawals perhaps?

I wont lie, this is hard.

Iā€™m OK till about 4 or 5pm, I can get through the day with the detox lemon drink and water and peppermint teaā€¦

But Iā€™ve noticed that at about 4 to 5pm my body starts to really crave solid foods.

I am determined to get through this detox cleanseā€¦ Its a mental challenge more than anything.

Its made me realise how much I never let myself go more than a few hours without snacking.

Our bodies need a break sometimes.

So I am honoring my temple by allowing it time to cleanse and rid its self of all toxins from over eating processed foods.

Weigh in day. 201.6. :grimacing: up almost a pound :scream: :grimacing: Damn I must be bulking up at the gym :rofl:
I donā€™t give a fuck. I got 18 days no added sugar. Iā€™m planking every day. I feel great :+1: and my clothes fit well. If I was under 200 I wouldnā€™t have anything to work on. Maybe Friday.

I donā€™t normally share my weigh ins because Iā€™m not so much focused on losing weight but Iā€™m proud of my weight in today. My pbf is down to 27.5 which a goal of mine for a while was to get under 30 so Iā€™m very happy that Iā€™ve not only maintained that but have gone down enough more! As you can see from my number weight loss or maintaining isnā€™t always linear!
Good job everyone on working those goals! Yā€™all are doing great

Weighed in today. 201.
Still not under 200 :grimacing:
But going in the right direction and still feeling good. Iā€™ll get there.
:pray:t2::heart:

Had to look at my driving license today and was shocked at the photo. Even tho my weight hasnā€™t changed much, my face is noticably slimmer. Maybe healthier regular eating has reduced puffiness?

down another 1.8 lbs currently at 334.2. Iā€™ve been taking a 2 - 2.5 mile walk every day before work and repeating it during lunch break Mon - Friday. Still tracking as much as possible using I Track Bites. Progressing along. Keep up the good work everyone. Find your fire and donā€™t give up!!!

So much for being under 200. Pounds.
200.2. But Iā€™m feeling good. Frankly I think Iā€™m looking good. :rofl:. Or letā€™s just say I like the way I look. In the midsection, you know?

Hey! Iā€™m so glad youā€™re feeling so good and looking good too even if the scale is telling you something you arenā€™t fond of. I would think thatā€™s a win for ya!

I got myself back to exercising this week so Iā€™ll start posting my updates again tomorrow!

Iā€™m back and officially checking in! So Iā€™ve been away for months (itā€™s been a busy summer with lots of ups and downs and I wasnā€™t doing well mentally or emotionally) and basically not working out much up to this last week in which I am getting back at it. I have maintained my weight over all despite the lack of exercise which was actually quite nice to see and experience. I hadnā€™t been real restrictive food wise with anything either so over the last few months I fluctuated from 116 - 118 lbs. So it is evident the extra empty alcoholic beverages IS what made me gain all the weight. Today I actually weighed the most at 118 since I stopped working out, but Iā€™m ok with that. Iā€™ve been walking 30-45 minutes a day back on the tread and also itā€™s approaching that ā€œtimeā€ for me so itā€™s all good. My legs have been feeling all the walking too so Iā€™m sure my muscles are retaining some water too as I am a bit sore. Iā€™ll try to keep up to date better now. I missed all of you!

Thanks. I got under 200 as I you may see today. Hoping to get in the middle of 195-200 lbs.

I had some stressors this summer that saw me get up over 205+ eating lots of gelato and chocolate. Stressors are over for now and I cut out the extra added sugar. Day 39 now. Working on getting that buffer zone under 200.

Nice to see you back.
Do over do it on the work outs.

Youā€™re welcome! And YAY! Congrats on coming in under 200!! Iā€™m sure that feels FABULOUS! GO ERIC GO!!

I hear ya about the stressors over the summer. This year it was filled up to the brim and thensome for me over here. Iā€™m still struggling with some but trying to sort my shit out and learn better skills with doing that.

With the workouts, I plan on taking a slow but steady approach towards them. Since I took MONTHS off, Iā€™m just committing 30 minutes a day on the treadmill. On Friday and Saturday I did do 45 minutes which felt good too though. Iā€™m going to eventually get back on the bike too, but getting moving with the walking briskly feels great so Iā€™m going to keep going with what feels manageable and good to me. Iā€™m pretty content with my weight although I would like to lose a little more, but Iā€™m not going to complain. Iā€™m SO SO SO much better off being 35 lbs lighter than I was and hovering around there pretty consistently. So Iā€™m happy with that. Thereā€™s always more work to be done just like in everything in life. One Day At A Time!
