Hi, I'd like to join!
CW: 137
GW (by Feb 14th): 132
I've just started trying to get back to a weight that I am comfortable at, after going off the rails health-wise for quite a while and putting on 10 lbs. I've been logging my calories and working out for the past 8 days have have lost 3 lbs so far
I need a little extra motivation today because I've had 4 REALLY good days (w/in calorie limit & workouts on point!) but today am feeling very tired and hungry and all day!
Today's goal: go to the gym, run for at least 30 minutes and then do at least 15 minute weight circuit afterwards! I will give myself a little leeway calorie-wise, since I think my body is telling me it's HUNGRY but still not go over my goal w/ exercises added in.0 -

Day 4:
Not a good day for my carb intake; over by 17. BUT it was a high training day - cardio and strength. Actually double cardio today. Still can't hit those protein numbers.
Food intake was good today - lots of lean proteins and veggies. Kept me feeling full all day. Water intake was also on point.
This has been such a great week. I was feeling so meh last week and had vowed that come Sunday I'd kick it in to gear; sure enough, I did just that. Woot woot!
Challenge tomorrow - dinner date with another couple. Colombian steak house. Might not be so bad! Wise choices, wise choices.
7AM sweat session tomorrow. Goodnight everyone!
P.S. - I will hopefully be taking my body fat percentage tomorrow if I can remember when I get to the gym. I'll record it here, but won't weigh until Sunday. This AM I was 205. I was 208 when I started MFP. ☺️0 -
Had a super busy day yesterday and wasn't able to log. I'm a little frustrated with my weight, I have actually been gaining weight! Hard to tell how much of it is muscle verses fat. I am finally coming to terms with the fact that I need to be extremely precise with my calories.
My plan for this weekend is to continue eating lots of protein, avoiding bread and processed cereals, catching up on sleep, drinking lots of water, and staying at 1200 calories regardless of my exercise. I'm going to avoid the scale until Monday so I can just focus on my diet and not obsess over the number.
P.S. you guys are all doing great! Keep up the good work!!0 -

Finally broke through almost week long plateau and lost a pound today
Start (Jan 26): 137 lbs
Today: 136
Goal: 132
Was pleased I stuck with it through the plateau. Would probably make goal weight at a pound every 4 days but I'm hoping weight drops quicker now that I have started losing again.0 -
Forgot to post last night so here's a double:
Yesterday was good. I had a 7AM workout and was pretty careful with my macros knowing we were going out to dinner. I was slightly over but it was fine because I didn't feel full or stuffed or gross. I actually went to bed feeling pretty satisfied. Glad I worked out in the morning.
Today I had another early session but my meal times were slightly off. I made a pretty awesome smoothie for a late lunch; ingredients in my diary. We also ended up going out for dinner tonight since my sister is staying with us. BBQ = weakness. Made it work though to the best i could. Was over on my macros again but don't feel like I ruined myself.
Going to try to talk my sister into a quick AM workout.0 -

Two weeks left everyone, keep up the good work! After gaining 2 lbs I am finally back down under my start weight and on the right track! Upping my protein has helped a lot even though I have gone over my calorie limit a few times. Also, I seem to do better when I log my food before I eat it, it helps me portion control and avoid snacking. If anyone struggles with those, I highly suggest logging before eating
This week, continue eating lots of protein, drinking lots of h2o, exercising 5-6 days, and getting SLEEP! Also, I'm going to need to plan for Sunday... Superbowl parties kill me!0 -
I have been trying to watch what I eat. Been making small changes like replacing pop with sugar free tea and cutting back on sugars unless they are natural. I have been going to the gym trying to do at least 30 minutes of cardio and just recently started weight training my arms every other day. I have my wedding in October and I'm wanting to lose 50 lbs hopefully but realistically I know I might not hit that and I want to tone up my bat wings. This is my starting mini challenge.0

I took a Fitness/ Nutrition class and I remember the instructor saying some people just seem to do better with a little more protein added instead of carbs and it seems to prove true...Keep up the great work! 0 -

I have problems hitting my protein numbers as well sometimes...nice to have a protein shake where you can add 30- 60 grams of protein with a scoop or two and if you mix with water, not the calories. 0 -
Hi there - no change in weight, so I have adjusted my macros slightly as of today to see if that will help. I'm also sick so that's not really helping my cause much. Had an awesome workout Monday night though and I'm definitely still feeling the burn. Going to do an at home plank workout out and KB abs workout this afternoon. Training session tomorrow AM at the gym.0

That's what I've been doing as of late; the protein number is crazy high since I had it set to 1g/body weight. But I adjusted today so it's a bit lower. Hopefully that will help!0 -

Fluctuated up again but I'm not too worried, my body feels more toned so I am happy. Been super busy lately so I haven't been eating the best. I have been overdoing it on the red wine and chocolate (at least it's dark though)!
