@mwip great job! Keep it up and you can get there. How has the decrease in alcohol consumption been on you? How is yh doing after the extreme diet week? He doesn't stick to it as strict as I do. He still eats carbs, but he needs them since he works in the heat. He had lost about 10 lbs but all the steroids hes been on he hasn't lost anymore. |

Monday is my weigh in day, but I had a (diet wise) terrible dinner last night. So even though Friday I was almost down 2 pounds, today the scales weren’t much different than last Monday  . |

I know it's tough nam2013, but it's the long term loss, not from week to week that matters. You're doing a great job and your next weigh in will show that! |

I’m down 25 pounds. I adjusted my target a little and now want to loose another 20. That way I can go to the states, enjoy the red velvet cake and don’t feel to bad about it. ETA random people at the office are noticing, which is nice  . |

Well, I’ve lost .25 inches off my chest and hips and .5 inch off my waist and thighs and biceps. I also took pictures, and I don’t think there is a huge difference between my day 1 and day 45, which is making me feel mildly discouraged. I know I’m not going to see huge losses, but it would nice to feel a little more like the after pic looks better. But if I look at my 6 week pp pic there’s definitely a difference there.

xolastunicornxo Non-Scale victories are just as big as the scale, if not more so. Seeing the difference in the measurements and pictures, making smarter choices, getting your butt to the gym, etc. Those are all just as important as a number.

I started a couple of different 30 day challenges. Mh was supposed to do them with me, but he's not, which is why I didn't start until 3 days ago. So tonight I'll do Day 4 of them. They are just apps I added onto my phone and I'm doing the easiest level right now. 30 day arms, butt, abs, fitness, and a plank challenge which I'm doing both the elbow plank and standard plank challenges on. I'm hoping I can stick with it.

Down 30lbs this morning. 15 to go (or 20..). It’s going slow, but steady. This is the lightest I’ve been in almost 6 years.
ETA
The weird things is, I’m seeing even more ‘flaws’. Before I could think ‘well it’s not good, but I’m not doing anything about it, so it is what it is’. Somehow it’s different now, and I’m rambling, sorry.

nam2013 congrats on the 30 lbs, that awesome! I get that feeling too. Now that my stomach is getting flatter, I have become obsessed with how I don’t like my arms.

nam2013 , congrats!!! I just joined ww again (for like the 100th time) on Wednesday. I'm not loving the new program, but I'd doing a pretty good job of curbing my eating. I even was at a birthday party on Saturday and they got the cake from the same place I got my wedding cake (so I know it was delicious). And I didn't even take 1 bite

And I didn't even take 1 bite Doesn’t that feel like such a win? I bought the kids a giant tub of popcorn at the movies yesterday and didn’t have a single piece, mostly because I knew I would eat it all if I started and a little because I was scared my crunching would wake the sleeping baby. |

jewels that is great, it’s those small steps that will make all the difference . And you have serious restraint for not even taking one bite, I’m sure I would have!

nam2013, like kim22 said, 1 bite would have led to 2, which would have led to a whole piece!

This is one of the things that WW Made me change, one bite can be enough, I still want the whole damn piece/bag/pizza/bottle but I can restrain myself so much better know. And I hate the new colours, they’re loud, for lack of a better word. |
