Re: Weight loss check in
Down 2 lbs this week and 55 lbs since having LO.
Success: I haven't had any pizza this week....yet. Does that count?
Struggles: Getting my runs in. My left knee has been hurting ever since I ran that 10 mile race a couple of weeks ago.
Motivational quote: ?? I will have to get back to you with this one.
I look forward to this every Friday and because of it I have continued to work toward my goal regardless of my struggles. I'm actually a little sad that so many people have stopped since the motivated ladies who started in April are the reason I joined too.
Lbs down: 11!!! I never thought I would break 10lbs, I was stuck at 9 for a while. Since DD I've lost 52 lbs. I'm 8 lbs lower than my pre-preg weight. Still 50 from my lifetime goal, but 11 more until my 1st major goal.
Success:Losing weight during my period week. I usually gain because of carb cravings. 2 lbs since last weeks
Struggles: Seeing my calorie amount go down on my fitness pal. 1370 is not a lot of food. I really need to start working out because cutting calories eventually won't be enough.
Motivational quote? Life's too short to spend another day at war with yourself!
Congrats to those who are losing! I know how hard you must be working.
Down 3 lbs but a total of 50 since having LO. Still have about 30ish more to my goal.
Lbs down: I lost weight but I haven't been putting in a huge effort in the food department. I did win the weight loss challenge and the gym and finally got my check! Whoop, whoop!
Struggles: Staying on point with food. The drive thru has seen me more this last week than 3 months combined! Woops!
Quote: Hmm...can't think of one right now!
I'm down 3 pounds since starting my thyroid medication last week. This feels incredible because for months I worked so hard, and the scale didn't move. I'm glad to know it wasn't in my control.
Success: H is doing no-carbs currently, which is helping me to be healthier in my choices.
Struggles: I love drinking in the summer. Not getting drunk, but having a couple glasses of wine, or a couple of beers on the deck is a favorite pastime. I know that I can still do this, just not as often as I'd like.
Motivational quote: I'll have to get back to you...
Glad you got the thyroid thing figured out. I also struggle with liking to drink in the summer. And it's going to be extra hard this summer because we are likely TTC in the fall, so I know those summer drinks will be my last for a while.
Lbs down: 2.5 lbs since last week, 26.7 lbs since DD was born
Success: tracking what I eat in myfitnesspal. every thing. it really helps me stay accountable.
Struggles: finding time to work out. i sah with dd, she is ebf, refuses a bottle, etc. making it hard to have someone watch her. we live in a small condo, so workouts at home are tricky. i am trying to get out for walks everyday and do some pushups, squats, etc. at home while she naps.
Motivational quote? There are 1440 minutes in a day, use 30 of them to exercise. (I have a bunch on my Pinterest board if anyone is looking for extra motivation: https://pinterest.com/lexa/get-off-the-couch/)
Just joined WW on Sunday. Been following the plan to a T and upped my activity as well.
Weighed myself this morning and it looks like I've lost 6 lbs so far. I know the losses will get lesser and lesser, but I'm happy to be off to a good start.
I had mentioned that I'm over the weight I was when I delivered DS. I'm happy to say that the 6 lbs loss put me back at my delivery weight.
Lbs down: 1 (I just started WW last week)
Success: Hitting the gym every day around 6 am
Struggles: I'm still breastfeeding. And it makes me reallyfuckinghungry.
Motivational quote? Do. Or do not. There is no try.
Lbs down : 21 since starting ww 20 weeks ago, 15 left to goal
Success : not pigging out at girls night last friday, made much easier because my friend who hosted made a 9 point dinner!
Struggles : it is hard not to snack at night when dh is working late, but ive been treating my points like money and being very frugal with them.
Quote : Biting's excellent. It's like kissing. Only there's a winner. - Idris (dr who)
Pounds down: I gained 0.8 at WW this afternoon. I'm still within my Lifetime weight (you can't go more than 2 pounds over your weight once you are lifetime), but I've mentioned before I want to lose 10 more pounds. I have to get these 10 off by September 1 and not just go up and down a pound from now until then.
Success: Not gaining more than .8 and still being in my Lifetime weight range after gorging at a wedding and stress eating all week.
Struggles: Stress eating and eating after dinner. I was never a night time snacker until the past 6 weeks of stress have hit

I was just diagnosed with hypothyroidism at the end of March/beginning of April and since starting the RX, I've lost 6 lbs!
ETA: I struggled for 7 months post partum wondering why I wasn't losing weight. I actually started crying when my PCP told me I had hypothyroidism. It was such a relief knowing that it wasn't me, it was the thryoid doing it to me!
