Hi everyone!
Started in July accountability, and continuing into August! Definitely ready to set some new goals.
Height: 5'5"
HW: 68.8kg
SW: 63.8 kg (last June weigh in)
GW: 63-65 kg
08/01: 63.4 kg
I'm pretty much on maintenance now (even though I didn't quite reach my last GW of 63.1). But I want to focus on building lean muscle and being more consistent with logging my meals! Whether I gain a bit or lose a bit is not a big deal now as long as I see the results!2 -

I was down for the count for about 8 days so I need to work my way back up to normal, but my goal is to do 3 days of light cardio and 3-4 days of strength training ( I usually do light cardio on the same days I do strength training) either weights or pop Pilates. And I'm going to start doing trail running again!1 -
Last time I tried to get into MFP I just kind of faded out after a couple of weeks. This time I am going to set some goals and keep track of progress a little better.
Height: 5'6"
HW: 145 lbs
SW: 145 lbs (August 1st)
GW: 140 lbs
UGW: 130 lbs
I also started a C25K program and want to stick to the 3 days a week of that plan.

So far so good, Monday was a good eating day and Tuesday is starting off the same. I did have a glass of wine last night but had leftover calories so no biggie but I slept like crap. Going to try and avoid it for the next few nights and see how I feel. I turned 44 in June and can feel the changes :-) I also workout 4-5 days a week. I joined Burn Boot Camp which is big here in NC. Love that place! On days I don't do a camp I'll run or just take the day off! Happy Tuesday all! Have a great day!
Oh and as far as Body Fat my gym does it for me.
Ah yes, this is a long and sordid tale with regain and crying in Parisian hotel rooms,
, but I joined in June 2015. I made a lot of mistakes, I fixed a lot of mistakes and now I'm pretty happy with my lot.
I ended up with the most enormous piece of fish for dinner tonight. I will never understand why restaurants give you so much food. Did they really think I was going to eat all of that? It's one of the few traits I missed about myself as a teenager. I would always eat exactly what I wanted and leave the rest and I felt no guilt about it in the slightest. Got into the habit of finishing everything at university because a) food is expensive and b) people made fun of me for only being able to eat half a pizza. But I've reclaimed the better of the two habits and I'm sticking to it.

Hi. I was in a hospital last month for a week. When I got out I did a lot of stress eating. I gained ten pounds in a little over two weeks! Before this, I was maintaining at 150-155 for quite a few months. I would love to be in the 120-130s.
Weightloss has been a long journey for me. I began losing weight, and became pregnant. After having my first baby I lost a little weight, but became pregnant again. I then had my next child, and have been losing weight ever since. I hope joining this group gives me some much needed motivation to stay on track!
I would like to reach 155 by the end of this month. I realize that sounds like a lot, but I find it nearly impossible to believe I really weigh 165 right now. Half of that has to be water retention. There's no way I gained a whole ten pounds of just fat. Anyways-

Happy Wednesday! Seem to have some minor injuries: plantar fasciitis in my left heel, and a somewhat numb little toe on my right foot. I really want to go for a run but will hold off until both feel a bit more normal. Still, 1.2lbs off since last week, which given the alcohol, carbs and fat at the weekend (3:30am munchies) I'm ecstatic about!
So many newbies! C25K is brilliant, such a good programme @realsammysalamander! Don't worry if sometimes you don't get all three runs in to one week. I sometimes couldn't manage it time wise, but see the weeks as sections rather than a fixed period of time.
@onewayoranother23, you should be fine soon as soon as you can get to exercising and sensible eating again. I hope you are recovering well.
@Fitnessgirl0913 What is your current BF% and how do you measure it?
@evergreenlake Take it easy for now, but well done for getting to maintenance. Fab achievement!

I mistyped before my current bf% is 24 and I would like to be around 20-22. My trainer provided me with my current bf% and I am going to get a bf% scale to keep track on my own!3

Hi all, I'm new here.
My stats
Height 154cm (5'1)
Starting weight June 2017 : 52kg
Actual weight: 49.2 kg
Goal by September/October : reach 46-47kg , build lean muscles and increase my endurance
My plan is to continue doing what I'm doing right now (Running 3X a week, rope skipping and some strength training at home) and I'm hoping I'll stay motivated.
Feel free to add me, I find following others' progress helpful to keep my motivation.5 -
for everybody. Seeing some new faces is always exciting, and then seeing people come back and kill it again this month is 
. Go Team, go!
@rianneonamission plantar fasciitis? Isn't that quite serious? Or is that just because of how it effects runners? I hope it eases up for you. Maybe a massage might help? A massage is good for you anyway, just as maintenance for your muscles/stops them being consistently tense when they don't need to be.

It's pretty common, and I think mine is just a minor inflammation. I think it's because I spent a good 1-1.5hrs in crawling motorway traffic on Sunday so solidly used the clutch, with my heel stuck on the floor. Shouldn't take long to heal, especially if I avoid running for a few days. Pretty sure it can get serious if you don't let it recover properly.1

Ah haven't driven a stick in so long! But do remember those days. Hubby wants to teach our girls how to drive one, one day (still only 10 & 11) but you barely seem them anymore but I guess a good skill to have just in case Hope you are feeling better soon and back to running in a few. Better to rest up (although hard) than keep injuring. My mini goal this week is to track this weekend. I am usually great during the week, eating and track, and then blow it on the weekends! Need to get better about it to move the scale!
@glassofroses I also gained quite a bit of weight my first year of college...the old freshman 15! After that I was able to keep it off and would go up and down but usually only around 5 lbs or so. Since turning 40 4 years ago it has continued to creep up so no sitting 10 lbs over....boo! And I agree portions are out of control!2 -
Hi there! I am so excited to find an active group. I am new to this group but have been on MFP for a while. I lost 60 pounds before my wedding, which was about 2 weeks ago, and now I am struggling because the wedding was my focus and kept me going. I don't want to gain this weight back! I still have about 20 pounds to go.

Hi everyone! I've done well with my nutrition so far this week. I also ran 3 miles Monday & today and did Jillian Michaels on Tuesday. I'm going out w/ MH tonight, but planning ahead to eat a salad & drink vodka/soda instead of wine or beer.1

@rianneonamission Ah, that's good then. You hear about it and people end up in physio for months and I'm like ???
TBH I've only had one 'injury' since I started training when I subluxed (partially dislocated) my left hip in a warm up - swung my leg to far upward and popped it - and it lasted about 6 weeks because it wouldn't pop back all the way. Sounds very dramatic but it's a hazard of Hypermobility. Training helps strengthen the muscle but it can only do so much.
@cmjlavallee I didn't own a scale at university, or in life really, but I was a size US10/UK14 when I left but I came back a US12-14/UK16-18 and I'd gain another dress size before I sorted my life out. For me, it wasn't so much age, I was 26 when I started my journey, or aesthetic reasons, but that I got some very distressing news and I had to really look at myself and decide how effective I was going to be and when you're over 200lbs it's not very. Now I'm roughly what I weighed in high school and a size US4/UK8, so anything is possible. You just have to commit. 2 -
