Ugh the weight loss is slowing down, I mean I’m losing weight, but only a little over a lbs per week, so hard to keep motivated. Anyhow down a little over 16lbs, 24 to go.
ETA also please ignore these posts, I’m using this thread as an accountability place too.

Ok, I'm getting off my ass for real this time. I can't keep walking around looking like I'm 7-8 months pregnant without an actual baby showing up.
I've been picking and choosing what I track (I know, that's not how it works)
No more.
We don't have activities after dc pickup for awhile, so I'm getting back on the bike and tracking everything and getting rid of this gut!

It means you are losing weight but have a healthy lifestyle and when you stop dieting you are only slightly off of maintenance so you will be good to go (.if that makes sense) |

Sunny41 thanks, I know it’s the right way to loose weight, I’ve given myself a year to drop 40lbs. But considering all the food I’m not putting in my mouth, I’d really like it if the numbers go down faster 😉!

Maybe increase your water intake? |

Maybe increase your water intake? Your right on point. I don’t even come close to drinking enough. Never have, I’m just never thirsty, I can easily go a whole day without drinking anything. I’m going to get myself an extra nice bottle Wednesday and make sure to drink more. |

Never have, I’m just never thirsty, I can easily go a whole day without drinking anything. I’m going to get myself an extra nice bottle Wednesday and make sure to drink more. I am the same. I don't typically drink water. I bought a huge neon pink cup so that it catches my eye. I also track my water and have a goal to meet. For BBM it is half your body weight per day. So if you are 200lbs drink 100oz of water. With a 30oz cup it doesn't seem that bad to drink 3 of them vs 6 16oz cups |

I drink a LOT of water...when I first get up in the AM, I drink 16oz, before I even get in the shower. I drink another 16 oz before I leave the house. I keep two water bottles on my desk during the day, so anytime I get up, I'm filling one of them up. It also makes me go to the bathroom a lot, so getting extra steps in there as well.

What are your go to, low calorie drinks? We are going to the lake this weekend and I need to stay away from beer. I really like the hard seltzer water so, between 80-100 Cal's, they aren't bad, but I'll have to limit myself to a few a day. Which is fine, I won't feel like shit.
Also, today is day 2 of our diet jumpstart. I lost 8 lbs between yesterday and this morning. I'm sure it was mainly water weight, especially after drinking so much Tuesday and Wednesday, but it feels good so far!

It is. I received a friend request from someone I thought I knew. When I accepted, she immediately added me to this FB weight loss group. After seeing all the before and after pics plus instant messaging a few people, H and I decided to try it together. It's basically clean eating, with tons of protein and veggies, plus their supplements. No sugar, fats, limited dairy. All stuff I should know, but I'm hoping the jump start plan helps keep me motivated and learn better habits. mwhip are you doing a specific diet program? |

I tried on some clothes at the mall and I'm a size 10. I would love to get to an 8 but if that doesn't happen i'm okay with it.

So I’ve been making it a pint to stay off the scale, because those numbers can really fuck with my mind, and focus on how I feel, look, and how my clothes are fitting. I weighed myself yesterday because I had a dr app and was going to be weighed anyway and am down 5 pounds. That means I’m only 5 away from my goal/pro-baby weight, which I’m stoked about. I’m still not loving the way some of my shorts and pants are fitting but I think I may need to come to terms with a larger ass and hips after four baby’s.

I hate shorts. I figured this was the place to say it. It’s a necessary evil when hot but I can’t stand them.
