Hi all! Sharing my journey to stay motivated! I was working on my weight loss goals but I got a concussion in April that contributed to even more weight gain due to decreased exercise and increased food. When I started feeling better I got excited and was on point for about 7 weeks! I had gotten my weight under 160 (and was gaining muscle) which I was so excited about! 💪 But travel and life (injury flair up and illness) got me a little off track again and I got back up to 165.8. Once I was feeling better I was motivated to get back under 160 and joined this transformer!! After the last week and a half I reached that goal! 🎉 (I’m assuming some of that weight gain was water weight). I am grateful to be back where I was before my little slip up! I want to keep that momentum going and work more towards my ultimate weight losd goal so I recently joined a Kickstarter too. I think that’s going to be much harder now that I already lost that water weight. But I’m excited to be on this weight loss journey with you all! Would love to hear your stories! ?

Ruth A, sounds like you are doing a great job! I would definitely see any weight loss as an accomplishment for sure! Some weeks you will lose more than others. Sugar is tough! When I do eat sweets I crave it nonstop! I’ve never been great at moderation when it comes to sweets. Not sure if your sugar addiction is similar. But it sounds like you are working really hard and staying on track now! :muscle: I hope you reach your goal and find a way to maintain it!

Shanquilla A, I am so sorry to hear that something devastating happened. I am glad that you are back on track. I am definitely an emotional eater too. I made a list of alternative options to when I’m stressed. But it’s so hard to. I hope we both reach our goal weights and find better ways to manage our stress so we can maintain our goal weight! I see all your posts and it sounds like you are doing great! And your post about sleep have been motivating me to have better sleep habits! We’ve got this! :muscle:

Weight gain today. Wondering if I should weigh myself less. I am a woman, and you know, for lots of women, and definitely myself, there are a lot fluctuations at different times of the month and such. Happy I’m doing the transformer challenge over 6 months. My progress has never been linear!

I know someone who weighs in every day, but umm… nope, not for me! That’s way too stressful. Once a week is enough for me!

Your weight will fluctuate daily due for various reasons, so I dont think daily weigh ins are an accurate measure. Weekly or bi weekly is best for accurancy.

I thought about you yesterday Ruth. Went to Trader Joe’s and had to carefully avoid my favorite cashews :)

It’s crazy the weigh in is the day before my 1st trip to Hawaii. Perfect timing too! Excited to see how good I can be feeling in the next 3 weeks before my trip!

Get it, girl! I am taking my kiddos to Hawaii in December for Christmas and I am really excited about all the progress. I’m expecting to have by then too! :bikini:

Awesome. Have fun in Hawaii

Hey guys, I’m Chance! I’ve been doing brightlineeating off and on for 8 years. My goal with this 6 months is to make it my lifestyle permanently. I’m kicking things off with a brightlineeating 14 day challenge. The challenge is just writing down exactly what I’m going to eat the night before and eating exactly and only that the next day. I want to continue to do brightlineeating 90% of the year for the rest of my life because I know how good I feel when I’m taking care of my body in this way.

So I will continue to work on planning my daily meals and plan to make them brightlineeating compliant 90% of the time. The other 10 % will be planned holidays or vacation if I want to.

I’m also going to get back into my daily habits that support my health. Such as consistent moderate exercise meditation and journaling. I’m posting on here for social support and to support all of you in your goals as well.

Hi Chance! I love how you're focusing on consistency and making this a lifestyle change instead of expecting perfection. Wishing you the best!! You got this.

Welcome!

Did You Know? According to the American Psychological Association (APA), “chronic stress can affect nearly every part of the body. It may contribute to headaches, anxiety, trouble sleeping, digestive issues, muscle tension, high blood pressure, weakened immunity, and flare-ups of skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Managing stress through regular exercise, quality sleep, mindfulness, and social connection can help protect both your mental and physical health.”

Hey Korey. Sorry that happened to your mom! Going through a divorce isn’t easy either, but the fact that you’re still here pushing forward shows just how strong and unbreakable you are. Keep going, you got this! :heart:

I believe it!
