Just want to say that it’s worth weighing yourself, taking pictures and measurements before you start.

I did end up weighing myself and it was pretty bad 🙈
My new goal is to lose 20lbs 😂

BH I’m down 2lb already! I have been avoiding white carbs and sugar (yes fruit though), but not worrying about fats or portion size at this point. My thought process is that as my body gets used to eating healthier and less, it will be easier to cut down on amounts.

Taking measurements scares me a bit but I feel like it’s a good idea. Aside from my midsection, is there anywhere else you would recommend measuring?

Thanks everyone for this thread. It definitely helped get me on track today!
I had a latte for breakfast, egg white omelette with veggies and cheese for lunch and a huge salad with veggies and proteins for dinner. Everything was delicious and low in carbs Smile

I'm the exact same! I'll be happy with 135-140 pounds though. I don't think I could realistically stay at 130

I love this idea! I'm trying to lose 20 lbs. Started to change my diet and added regular exercise two months ago. So far, I'm down 10 lbs as of today!!! I've been avoiding processed carbs and sugar and trying to eat 3/4 veggies to 1/4 protein per meal. My main problem time is night time snacking. At least tonight it was frozen grapes and not candy 🙄. We got this ladies!!

Ok I want to join. Been totally overeating lately too. I want to lose 10 lbs.

This shabbos I plan to eat on piece challah per meal. One piece of cake max shabbos morning. One portion of rice, and potatoes. One portion cholent. As much chicken and veg as I want. No dessert, apple kugel, potato kugel.

I know it sounds like alot of food but I've been way overdoing it so this is improvement. See how this goes.

Eta: I weighed myself. 140.6 lbs that's about 4 lb gain in 3 weeks:( my goal is 130 lbs.

I did not do well this shabbos. Lots of challah and noshing:( why can't I stick to anything???? Can't Believe It

I'll join with 25 to lose, most I've ever had at any point in my life. I am 2 months postpartum and with my previous babies the weight just came off, more slowly with each subsequent baby but eventually it happened with only a tiny bit of effort on my part. After this baby I weighed the same at 6 weeks like I did at 1 week PP, just 10 pounds less than before I delivered.

Shabbos I eat normally or I know I'll resent this healthy lifestyle.

I exercise minimum twice a week in addition to 20-30 mins walking daily.

Shabbos I eat challa and cake. And some nosh too 🙈

I feel like I can still lose weight if I watch myself 6 days a week.

Who is with me ?

I’m joining too! 5”4 135 lb. would love to lose 10 but if I can do 15 that’s ideal for my build. Dh is 6”2 and weighs the same much as me. To whoever said about their husband brining junk into the house, I soooo relate!
My plan is, having what I need in the house to succeed with minimal prep. Yesterday I made a big pot of veg soup. I had tuna and an 100 cal bagel for breakfast, a fruit and 2 bowls of soup for lunch and went out to eat for dinner, had a salad but it wasn’t a super healthy one.. bh I lost 2 lbs. also PMSing so hoping to drop at least 5 lbs by the end of the week. Thanks for the thread ..

To mamabird, what kind of exercise do you do and how often do you do it?

I do a different type of exercise every day, but I plan out what I'm doing on Sunday for the week. This week is Zumba toning, pilates, kickboxing, stationary bike, barre and power walking. I use videos from YouTube and occasionally recorded classes from instructors.

I have a WhatsApp group for exercise accountability and encouragement to help me stay on track. You can pm me if you would be interested in joining.

Wow amazing! I’m going to weigh myself today. I slacked off a bit so I’m not expecting much.
