1. What are you focusing on this week? My main focus this week is breaking the fast food habit. It's not just costly, but I've relied on the habit too much the past few months and it's really showing on the scale. I'm also working on consistently logging my food on MFP.

2. What is your short term goal? To lose 26 pounds.

3. What is your long term goal? To lose 175lbs. I know that's going to take awhile, probably not til after baby #2 comes.

4. What is one thing that's motivating you? My wedding is May 7th! I have my dress and it's just a liiiiiittle bit snug in the shoulders...it fits fine everywhere else.

5. Bonus Question: What's your favorite exercise? In the past, I'd have said running, but given my weight loss and general lack of activity the past few years, I'm thinking walking is my current favorite.

1. What are you focusing on this week? actually having a meal plan-last week was insane

2. What is your short term goal? try to get back into drinking water again. The month of January with being sick multiple times, doing respite care every weekend which lead to being placed in our care now meant just surviving and all healthy goals was gone.

3. What is your long term goal? See above and tone and lose about 10-15 pounds.

4. What is one thing that's motivating you? summer is coming and I'm glad that due to stress my weight loss efforts I started last fall have been helped in the last month. I'm starting to like myself again in pictures since I had gained 30 or so pounds quickly and have now lost most of that now.

5. Bonus Question: What's your favorite exercise? walking

@thatgolfbitch I LOVE bodypump. I'm easing back into physical activity after a long absence (I am incredibly overweight and out of shape at this point) but bodypump is probably the one thing I'm looking forward to getting back to the most!

1. What are you focusing on this week? Sticking to a meal plan

2. What is your short term goal? Lose 1-2 lbs/week

3. What is your long term goal? Lose another 10 lbs. and actually keep it off (unless I ever get pregnant)

4. What is one thing that's motivating you? Saving up for IVF so I can't afford to buy new clothes in a bigger size - gotta get back to fitting in my work clothes!

5. Bonus Question: What's your favorite exercise? I am the worst about exercise. Right now I'm trying to walk 4,000 steps every day at lunch, but so far this week I've had to work through lunch every day. Trying to fix that one today!

Oo I'm currently trying to live a healthier lifestyle so I'll jump in!

1. I'm focusing on working out 3-4 times a week
2. My short term goal is after 4 weeks I will have workouts documented 3-4 times a week.
3. Long term goal is to feel better overall and get my body healthy for a pregnancy.
4. I have a feeling at my RE appt, the doctor is going to mention my BMI as a reason things haven't worked out me for yet. I already want to have a plan in place for that convo.
5. Favorite exercise: I signed up for this barre class online and i think it's great!

1. What are you focusing on this week? This week I've been trying to get my eating habits under control. We have so many family birthdays in February so it ends up being a month of many food indulgences.

2. What is your short term goal? I've lost about 40lbs already so at the moment I'm most focused on just maintaining my loss.

3. What is your long term goal? Ultimately I'd love to lose another 10lbs or so.

4. What is one thing that's motivating you? I've already worked really hard to lose the weight that I have so I am constantly thinking about not going back to where I started.

5. Bonus Question: What's your favorite exercise? I love a lot of the beachbody workout programs like 21 day fix, 21 day fix extreme, core de force, and I also just love going for walks.
