I DID IT! I don’t know how, and I don’t think I deserve it, ☺ but I made it and got my weigh-in verified!
March 1 really sneaks up on you! Was glad to weigh in today low enough to also hit my goal for my Monday weigh-in, which means I should be able to reuse it (assuming no DB glitch like happened in another game last month).
I have no plans to self-sabatoge before then,
but it's nice to not have to deal with the whole process too many times.
Anyone else have that Process? Gotta move the rug, move the scale to the mirror, open up the shades and turn on the lights to get it bright enough, etc! And I shouldn't even have to move the rug but one time my weigh-in was rejected because something about the angle of the photo made them think the scale was on the rug, even though it wasn't. So since then I make sure it's very clearly distant!

I have lost 15 pounds so far through diet only, which goes to show how awful my eating habits were 😅 I’ve worked on portion control, not eating after dinner, and only drinking water. I should be really proud of those 15 pounds but that little voice in the back of my head says I could have lost more, which I definitely could have! In fact in past diets I have lost significantly more. The problem is that wasn’t sustainable. With what I’m doing now I’m not withholding any foods from myself, I’m just lessening the amount which will be way more sustainable in the long run. This month I’ll be working on a mental goal by trying to tell that little voice that slow and steady wins the race 🐢
Holy cow fastest verification ever… I triple checked that to be sure 😃. WHEW! Boy I struggled a good part of this month to move the scale… in the past I’d probably have given up & said eff it! BUT I hung in there, upped my protein & water and added some strength training. Happy to have made this one in the end. Congrats everyone on hanging in there for this shorter month, boy do 2-3 less days make a difference!

Verified means I can eat now right? 😂

My 2.5 year old son is on life support in PICU. I can’t weigh in this month. Is that okay? I met my goal the other day- but that’s not important anymore. I wont be booted out right?

Flu got me! Over here surviving and staying hydrated. This is a whole different level of exhaustion 😩
- My wedding is in July! As much as I’m happy being fat, I’m working on overall health and taking some pressure off my joints. I’m stoked to have met my first month’s goal and excited to feel stronger not only for my wedding, but for life!
