I added more variety to my lift program this past Sunday and I love it! Also, while I am not losing weight my pants are a bit looser. So win there! Still working on the socializing thing. The next meetup is a chili cook off on the 4th so we will see if I can make that. I was able to start a conversation at the gym on Sunday in the elevator. That was... different

I already signed up for a Meetup group.

Following for lift sets :-)

Awesome! Following

Woo hoo Ada!

Awesome job! That is really incredible! Keep up the good work.

If any of you followed my last challenge, thanks! I haven't lost any weight since then, but I have started weight lifting so I don't expect too for a few months since I am building muscles. This time around I am looking more to dropping inches as a minor goal. My main goal this challenge is to socialize. Which is a big challenge for me as an introvert. I have become more active in our chat room, but I want something more than that. Totally clueless on how to do that. I tried social Apps, even dating Apps with more of a networking feel, I got scared and deleted all my accounts. Maybe I am afraid of judgement. I originally didn't want to socialize until I was at a lower weight, but I decided to take a chance. Lets hope this goes well.....

I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted 0-0 Okay bad news first, I got sick for a few days this week so I had to stop activity for a while. Good news! I am back now and, as of a weigh in this morning, I am 300 lbs. Which means 9 lbs lost for this challenge. I also managed to keep my goal of going to the game at least once a week. I have mostly been going twice a week though. Protein shakes have been my friend, but the nerd fitness group has been by best friend. Yay IRC chat! \o/

Okay so I know I said that I wasn't going to weigh myself before the challenge was over, but.....I did. I lost 2.4lbs!!!!!! That is the fastest I have ever lost weight! Woo hoo for me!

I missed swimming yesterday so I could spend some quality time with my family. I am going to be swimming on Wednesday instead and will be lifting today. Also, making sure I log my food today and me my step goals. Thanks for checking up on me!

Fell out of my routine yesterday :-( Didn't eat every two hours or log my meals. I felt horrible! We were busy running errands and then we went poke hunting. I definitely need to plan better next time.

Progress!!!!!!! My 2 hour challenge is working! I had half of a bison burger and half of a side caesar salad and I was full! I am also eating slower which I believe is helping. I haven't been 100% on my meal log, but I know I can improve on that.

Hi NF! I am looking for a small group of people for more individualized accountability. Daily check ins and stuff like that. Would anyone be interested?

Update on my challenge. I haven't caved and the two hour eating plan is really effective! I just need to make sure I include protein in each meal. Also, I am making sure I work out every day in some way. I am going to weigh in only at the end of the challenge. Hopefully I see some results.

Midway through my first week and I am already feeling better about myself. I haven't caved on my new diet and I am exercising in some way every day. I took overtime today so I can't go to the gym (I really wish it was 24 hours). But I am going to complete curls all through my shift with my 8lb free weights. I have thought about when I want to weigh in and I think the month mark would be a good time. So we will see my progress then :-)
