@Ernest_Nigma "That would signal a real trend and not something temporary".

This happened to me today! Unfortunately I have gained one pound....but I am STILL in the Overweight category. Definitely out of the Obese category forever as it would take quite a large increase in calories and sharp decrease in activity to go back up. In other words, I have reached a new level of lifestyle. I have tweaked my calories and daily exercise as I adjust to continually improving.

On July 19th I posted this. I've been quite busy but maintaining my lifestyle I hadn't properly exercised in at least two weeks, but my eating has changed completely I don't own a scale so I am not a slave to it and use a very accurate Community Centre one instead. Today, I realized it's been about a month and I should weigh myself Clothes fit amazingly good So I have NO idea what the result is and expect a gain.

I've lost three ounces! 😉 Definitely have permanently changed the way I eat. Still maintaining at Overweight and if anything....this little break has me MORE motivated than ever to resume my daily exercise. I'd love to get to and maintain a "Normal" weight this Fall. My eating habits were such a gradual change I can never go back I didn't use Noom, just listening to my own body cues.

An update on my progress.

I've lost a total of TEN pounds and can SAFELY SAY Obesity is now a sign post several miles behind me!! I am now FIRMLY Overweight in the 53rd Percentile for my age and height. After losing 8 pounds...I will be in the 50th percentile. This means HALF the women my age and height in North America will weigh less...half will weigh more.

In my daily life I eat what I want. The difference is I eat differently. Smaller portions. No junk. More vegetables. My current weakness is one baked good a day. A scone, a cinnamon bun, a cookie. I don't feel deprived and currently walk for exercise. My advice is to gradually change your habits thru meaningful eating, drink water and move daily. Just move....walking, yoga. Get that blood flowing thru your limbs!! It will happen. My next Mini Goal is to get to that 50th percentile. Probably January. Watch this space!!! One day....Overweight will be safely behind me. Obesity will be a very distant memory. And Normal Weight will be my new.....Normal! 😉

Current mini goal... Onederland by Christmas! I've got 12 pounds to get there and I'm a TURTLE at losing so it will be close!

I am 182cm (6 foot) and 74kg (163 pounds). The BMI recommendation is to maintain my weight. But my goal has always been 62kg (137 pounds). It is possible that I want to be slim but healthy weight because of my culture and ethnicity.

I reached 63kg, although technically not identical, but I consider I had reached the milestone. But we all know what happened.

Now I try to have the motivation to go again and aim for maintain the weight when I reach the goal this time.

I find that if I am goal-driven, after I reach my goal, the progress will get reversed. The trouble with backwards direction is that, it is very demotivating.

Instead I now have dieting in mind, and try to live my days normally. My mini goal would be a reduction in my weight when I stand on the scale next time (I weigh myself daily), however small the reduction is. But I try not to think about dieting and try to forget I have a (mini) goal.

I am just wondering, a) go small and slow but steady instead of b) drastic but progress reversal is a better option.

This time I certainly are less motivated.

Reducing my A1C from 8 to 7 in December, and then to keep going so T2D will go into remission!

My mini goal is to focus on habits and behavioural changes rather than weight loss. Eg) Walking 15 minutes, weighing/logging my food, cooking actual meals, etc.

I used to forget stuff all the time and then I started setting reminders on my phone. Also I have an Apple Watch which vibrates once every hour (I actually set it to vibrate on the full and half hours) and this has helped me be more aware of time passing during the day. I'm much less forgetful now.

Check out the Ultimate Accountability Challenge, I think with those goals you would fit right in.

Want to see the scale start with "17". Just 6lbs away and enjoying the journey!

To make it to my next 10lb weight loss mark, 210lbs, by end of November. Currently at 218.2, so have 8.2 lbs to go!!!! Also thinking about how I will reward myself. ( For meeting my 220 goal I just treated myself to new waterproof walking shoes. I’m set now for walking on rainy fall days!)

Get back on track!

I've been thinking I'd like to ride a bike again. As a kid I remember being flabbergasted that none of the adults I knew ever rode a bike... now I'm one of those lame people myself Time to change that!

Also I want to finish every one of the water aerobics classes I accidentally signed up for Meant to sign up for 3 a week but accidentally ended up with 6 a week! Fortunately it's only through mid-November, so here we go haha

I got our bikes tuned up this past summer just before we went away for 2 months RV'ing. Never even got on them once. Nowhere we parked had any biking areas that were easy enough for me to start out. All steep hills or on too busy of a highway. Our parks were very small so couldn't ride around as I'd get dizzy and fall off...lol Later in summer it was too hot and smoky. I'm determined to use them come spring. Good for you for signing up for the water classes. You knew you wanted to!!

I've been working on my weight since 2021. It took me from then until now to lose 26.5#. I am 5'3" and I now weigh 123.8#. I am 3.8# from the high side of my goal weight. I have taken it slow, logged calories even when I was ashamed of them, and it actually helped hold myself accountable. I look at the macronutrients, I look at my workout day, I plan, I pray, and sometimes, I just can't, but most days I'm so glad I did. My mini goal, that 120# mark by end of November. Take that holiday binging!

Red_B1rd

Argh, I'm at my highest weight ever. My mini goal (or maybe a mini-mini goal) is to lose 6 pounds to get down to 175.
