I'm getting started. 30 lbs to lose to reach goal0
-
I think I need a jump start....between being on vacation and traveling for work the last 2 weeks I almost feel like I'm restarting. No I haven't gained any weight (yay!), but I just feel like even before these 2 weeks the loss has really slowed down and I'm not tracking as strictly as I was earlier. I've been in a cycle of gaining then losing the same few lbs with a slight net loss in the right direction. But I'm ready to see a more consistent downward trend.
I've got to recommit to tracking EVERYTHING, and earlier on I really tried to stay within 1200-1300 calories and not really eat exercise calories back....but now I'm eating some back. And before I was better about cooking at home, but I have gotten back in the habit of eating out more again due to convenience. Even though it fits into my calories based on the stated amounts, but you just never know exactly with portions. With that and not tracking consistently I think I've probably been eating more than I think.
I'm ready to get it done! Yes this is a lifestyle change, and I have developed some great healthy habits that will remain forever, but I don't want to be in the weight loss phase of this change forever....if that makes any sense. For so long it's been oh let's get to 10 lbs lost, oh let's work on the next 10 lbs, or focus on going down to the next size.....there's always another goal. I'm just ready to be at a place where the focus is just to maintain.0 -

let us know how you lost the weight! I'm sure that it will be beneficial for someone!!!!
Thanks for posting!
I haven't done anything special, just eating within my given calorie deficit. and only logging half of my exercise minutes so that I only eat back half of my exercise calories.2 -
hello. i have about 22 lbs to go i think...i've upped my weight training to 6 days a week [from 3-4] and lessened my cardio to HIIT runs [only 20 mins] 3 x per week, piyo and a brisk 3+mile walk another day. started trying to hit my macros [hard]...but have lost 2 pounds in 2 weeks....woo hoo. the key is logging and facing the scale [i tend to not weigh myself for weeks at a time when i'm not doing well...]

It is definitely frustrating to gain and lose the same lbs repeatedly! Once you reach this step, i think the hardest part is to be consistent and disciplined! If you can maintain through the ups and downs of the scale until you surpass your goal it will then become easier!2 -

It seems like everyone is either busy or distracted. Kids are out of school and schedules are changing. Does anyone have any fun summer plans? What are you all doing to continue on your weight loss journey? Does anyone have any summer recipes to share? I love going to the beach or going to a great bbq and spending time with friends and family!

I haven't figured out what I'm gonna do with my kids, probably lots of visits to the beach and pool, and maybe a staycation...I plan to run in the mornings at least 3x/week, spinning classes, body pump...roller blading...anything outside...I'll try to limit my carb intake also...not eliminate but reduce....0

Good morning everyone! No matter how your week went, perfect or not, today is a great day to get back in track. I wasn't perfect this week but I'm renewing my commitment again, no matter how many times I fall. I just finished a great run and I'm on my way to the gym for weights. I like using Saturday and Sunday to catch up on my calorie burn! Have a great weekend!!!0

Hello All !!! My plans are to continue on my LCHF journey! My goal is to lower my carbs to below 20 on a daily basis so that i can stay in ketosis! I may not be able to walk each day, but i do get in a lot of walking at work, so hopefully that will make up for what i will be missing!
My new goal is to lose an additional 10-15 lbs by August! So far i have loss 3 lbs within the last 8 days! Yippeeeee!!!
I learned through trial and error, that it is always best to stick to what you KNOW works for you!!!!
Last...I plan to enjoy my lil ones this summer! A lot of water fun and cookouts!
