    Im really glad its helping you! I like making charts out of my goals and think as a group we work harder to reach our goals.

    You're doing so well! Can't wait for your end of month progress :)

    I lost another 200grams so now I have 2.7kg left to lose. I'm really trying hard to be a 51er asap :) hoping by Friday I'll be in the 51's.

    You're just 2 pounds away and you've got 11 days left to reach your goal :)

    Thanks! Today I realised I lost another 200 grams! so its now 2.5 kg left (and I lost 1.5kg so far). Still a little tight but I'll do my best to get as close as possible to the goal.

    Hi guys,
    An update here... I started Strength training today!

    I did legs today. This is what I did.
    16 kg barbell squats - 4 sets / 8 reps
    16 kg barbell hip thrusts - 5 sets / 10 reps
    10 kg leg extension - 4 sets / 18 reps
    15 kg leg extension - 2 sets / 18 reps
    5 kg leg curls - 4 sets / 18 reps
    5 kg inner thigh kick - 4 sets / 18 reps
    5 kg outer thigh kicks - 4 sets / 18 reps
    0 kg hip thrusts - 100

    I took 3 scoops of protein powder (17.5 * 3g protein = 52.5g) + a piece of chicken (15g)
    Total of 67.5g of protein. Still under but I'll get there slowly.

    I'm new to this and I'm hoping I'll stick to the plan.

    Tomorrow is a chest day for me :)

    Nice work!! Make sure you squeeze your buns at the top of your squats! Ha! That's the best part. You are probably going to be sore tomorrow so make sure you walk, stretch and drink plenty of water. Overtime the soreness will go away!! You are doing awesome!!

    Great job starting a program!! Don't worry so much about the program or protein at this point, the key is establishing habits. Did you join a gym or are you doing this at home? One of my tricks is keeping a gym bag in my car ALL of the time. Once you go home, it is very tough to go back out to the gym, try to work it into your routine. One of my favorite plans is https://stronglifts.com/ , it is suited for beginners and progresses nicely, requires relatively little equipment, 3 times a week, and uses compound exercises and stresses proper form. it helps to get the habit down, then you can venture out into other programs. It is just a recommendation, just stick with something and you will do great!!

    Thank you!

    I'm doing this at home. I have a home gym, barbell rods, dumb bells, plates, ab machine. I'm decently equipped. I don't like gyms. I feel tense that people are looking at me haha

    Thank you! I'll check stronglifts out. I've tried to create a plan from things I found online and learning which muscles they tackle- but I'm just a beginner. Time will tell :)

    I do most of my work outs at home as well. It sounds like you have all you need for a great workout!!

    @1MADGIRL @Vanguard1 I'm so impressed that you guys can workout at home. I think I like feeding off other people's energy so that is why I like to go to the gym, but it would be so much easier if I could just do it at home. That is one challenge that I haven't been able to accomplish.

    @eblyth00 Nice job!! I hope you have gotten your blood sugar resolved. Your results are awesome!!

    Nice job!

    274 currently probably won't make it to exactly 270 but close enough to be happy about it.

    Still not exactly sure what's going on with my blood sugar it is now lowest after eating.which is strange but fasting is lowering about 1 point every couple of days.

    Don't forget, you did reach your goal! You just set an 'extra' goal because you were over-achieving :) So you lost the 5 pounds you wanted to lose and an extra 4.8 pounds :) That is awesome

    Love the link - this is so true. I prefer to weigh more and look fit and tone! The scale is just an indicator of losing fat. It's not accurate, especially if you exercise :)


    I am weighing myself tomorrow morning but I'll be setting up an April thread now
