Start of July-113.4
July 3-was away being very bad
July 8-114.4
Struggles: Was away with the in laws. While I did get in two runs, was otherwise terribly unhealthy. Sigh. It's what I do to cope with my dh family. Couple that with two long flight, I came back to a full 9 lbs of bloat. Totally sucked but I did manage to clamber back on the wagon
Successes: I got back on the wagon. I was able to bring weight back into check. I also introduced a new workout plan that I am excited about.
Upcoming week plan: staying on a 1200 cal plan until I am back around 113. Then I can bring it back up to maintenance. Do my 5 miles a day, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks get back into running plan. Incorporate my a** and abs challenge daily. Glad to be refocusing.1 -
Only 1lb being very bad: That's good! That's a victory!2

Yay! The main number on my scales is now an 11! Haven't seen that for a few years! Very pleased with my loss given that on Saturday I went over by about 1000 cals. Good day yesterday, despite the baking I did. I basically saved 300 cals as I knew I'd taste the batter and dip my finger in to the various bits I was making. Leg day at the gym after I'd warned my PT that my wrist had flared up. It was good!
But: Today is my partner's birthday. This will mean far too much food (Pizza Hut buffet lunch - his guilty pleasure once a year), cake and possibly booze tonight. Shan't be logging. Gotta be good the rest of the week!

I've been averaging down 0.5lb all this week but after having been as low as 141.8 yesterday I realised I have to work harder to maintain my weight so I ate above maintenance and hence the bounce up. My doctor's appointment has been moved to Monday, something has come up on Friday, so hopefully he'll have some answers for me. Sadly from what I can tell, all of this weight loss has come from my boobs.
Pre-surgery I was 32DD-27-35.5 and now I'm 30D-26-35.
@rianneonamission I'd just enjoy your partner's birthday for what it is, tasty, but don't overdo it. I generally find that you never eat as much as you think you would at these things anyway. At Christmas. I ate everything and put on a pound (after water weight). I felt I had clearly not tried hard enough. Congrats on your loss, too! That's great. 
@bringbackthejoy What is your July weight goal, hon? You seem to be the amazing shrinking woman these days!

@rianneonamission. Yes the 1 lb eventual gain was a victory, but the 9 lbs when I stepped off the plane was a a bit of a horror. I still don't trust the weight loss and am terrified that one day I will wake up and the 35 lb loss will be gone. Such a struggle to get where I am. Just mentally still on shaky ground. Congrats on your planning for the birthday and the loss. Enjoy!
@glassofroses congrats to you too. Slow and steady wins the race. I feel you on the boob, though I had very little to work with in the beginning, I am now at negative boobage. My July goal is somewhere around 113. I have a two week vacation in Italy in August so I would like to be a little lower than the goal weight to compensate for the fact that I want to be able to try everything while I am there.2 -
@rianneonamission your loss is so motivating for me! I would love to hit the 160s again. It seems so far away LOL. Pizza hut is where it's at. Enjoy your partners birthday!1

Bless you, I'm glad my journey motivates you. That's really nice to hear
@bringbackthejoy Don't be terrified, it sounds like you are in control if you managed drop the 9lbs so quickly! I think this is where we all mentally have to accept that sometimes we over indulge. This is a new you. Be proud of your achievements, and be kind to yourself!

Proud of this check in! My July goal is in sight. I think I can get pretty close. I picked back up on the workouts again this week, and tried very hard to control my portions.
Over the course of the last 5 years, I've noticed I make the most progress when I weigh myself every morning first thing. For some people they can go once a week, or once every other week, but I like to see the daily fluctuations of my body. I like to post it to this forum twice a week, but weighing in every day has always helped me keep my goals in the back of my mind without ignoring it.
Happy Friday everyone!2 -
I've had a 4lb weight gain this week!! I'm really unhappy with it, I did have cake and celebrated my daughters 5th birthday last weekend, but not sure I deserve that!!!

Struggles: Still trying to figure out this maintenance thing. Really hard in the summer as I travel a lot, eat out a lot, entertain a lot. While my numbers on the scale are looking stable, I expected to see losses based on what I am attempting to do (eating at a deficit). As this is my reality, I have to figure out how maintain/ recomp while in flux as flux is my normal.
Successes: I hit the gym 4 days, came up with a new routine, and only exceed my allowed calories 1 day and that was by 100 or so.
Upcoming week plan: Keep on keeping on. I am at home this week so at least my work outs are "normal" even though we have a lot of plans socially. I just need to keep to the plan I have written. Trust the process.3 -

Weekly Strength: I had very solid workouts during the work week this week and developed workouts for Abs, Legs, Arms and Butt. Each day I got at least 20 minutes of solid sweat inducing workouts in, and managed to eat relatively healthy. My fiance and I did a TON of walking while we were at the Ren Fest this past weekend, and managed to eat relatively well by bringing our own healthy breakfast and lunches to eat.
Weekly Struggle: I did end up drinking a little bit more that I had planned on, and I simply couldn't resist getting a hot fudge sundae from the Renaissance Fair on Sunday, even though i had promised myself to resist. I wish I was better at self control in social environments, but it really is a struggle!1 -

End of July Goal: 173.5 lbs
Hello everyone, happy Monday!!
I had a very controlled weekend. I paid lots of attention to what I was eating because I had plans to eat out with people. I didn't snack in between meals and I think ordered the right way. Unfortunately the only workout I squeezed in was climbing intensely on Saturday. Today I'm back at the office gym though! During the week my workouts are very structured. Slowly but surely I'm knocking down those pounds. Not always as quickly as I would like, but hopefully in a way that will allow me to really maintain my weight loss once I achieve my goals.
@aeshippers thank you so much!

Highest Weight: 130lbs.
Start Weight: 118lbs (todays weight)
Ultimate goal: 110lbs -- or 115 if its muscle, which it currently isn't.
July Goal: lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs week
Can you tell me how to calculate the body fat percentage?
My gym has a body fat thing and it tells me that I have 109 lbs of lean muscle and that leaves me with 32 lbs of fat. I weigh 141 total. 32/141=my body fat
Or you can use calipers and an online calculator

Posted this a bit late but as I mentioned last week, I'm going through some major changes right now: Moved last Thursday from Thailand to Spain, came back to my hometown and am still in the initial festive-phase of meetups and catching up with old friends and family members. I also had a wedding over the weekend which lasted 3 days..as you can imagine the food and drinks were constant. So I'm just trying to maintain at my last weigh-in until I develop a new routine here. I did my first workout in a week today, though I've been doing some cardio (walks, bike rides) so as to not let my body forget to move!2 -
Bad week. Partner's birthday (honestly, three days of cake leftovers followed by a BBQ on Saturday and more cake on Sunday for charity), plus a sore throat and cold meant I did sweet nothing in terms of exercise. But, despite my cold I was back at the gym yesterday with my PT. Great strength session, actually made me feel better.
As a result of this bad week I highly doubt I will hit my 165lb target. Mind you, I will make a real effort this week (including weekend) and see how I get on. Have started a focusing a bit more on macros, trying to get my protein intake up.

Okay, this whole post-surgery thing is kicking my *kitten*. My doctor said I can go back to light exercise, whoo! and that the weight I've lost will come back naturally but it, frankly, hasn't stopped. Really resisting the urge to sit and pig out (I'm on my period) in case it bites me in the *kitten* later. This is a maintenance only household!
TBH ladies, with all the parties and BBQs and general niceness that happens in the summer, maintaining our weight is the best we can hope for. I mean, it sucks that you're not losing but you've learned enough not to gain 5lbs every party you go to, which is a huge victory in itself.

Well, if you've dropped back down to 141lbs, perhaps you can justify that period approved bar of chocolate!glassofroses wrote: »TBH ladies, with all the parties and BBQs and general niceness that happens in the summer, maintaining our weight is the best we can hope for.

Yeah, I'm quite pleased in all fairness.

I've got a little Lindt bar in the door of my fridge that I had forgotten all about.
It makes it sound like I'm a poor deprived soul like I haven't had a bakery double chocolate cookie this morning, or that I didn't have two yesterday AND a doughnut. The giant buttons were pretty negligible though.
I think it's one of those things where when you're in the weight loss zone, it can be really hard to 'let go' because you exactly what you're doing to your body if you do. But it's not 'letting go' or 'going backwards', it's just moderation. With some people on MFP, they seem to really struggle with the concept of moderation, like it can't exist in the weight loss process, and honestly, the people who don't get over it are generally the people who either had disordered eating to start with or it was brought out by the app. I guess part of me just wanted to make sure we're all being healthy about our approach to delicious BBQ food: eat the food, the food is good, don't worry unless you eat the entire buffet table. 2 -
@rianneonamission keep the faith, girl, a few bad days, yes, but trust in the process and you may see it's just a bump in the road. Everyone is doing great!,1
-
@vnukinga you are doing great! I had a similar scale experience a couple of weeks ago with lots of water retention. Overall, you have been shedding the pounds, be proud of yourself
@rianneonamission i believe in you!! I think you can definitely still make some good progress before the end of the month. I'm in the same boat. We got this. p.s. all this cake talk has me thinking about what kind of cake i want for my birthday. Which isn't even until October!! LOL
@glassofroses you just brought up some really valid points that I think need to be more openly discussed. new discussion or blog post perhaps? personally I experienced a great deal of disordered eating that was amplified by this app when i first started in 2013. my thinking was unhealthy, and my restrictive/anorexic lifestyle was equally as unhealthy. It took a lot for me to come back to this app with a positive outlook and fresh perspective. Doing things the healthy way and in moderation are so important. Preach!

@2tall4thisworld Disordered eating is a pretty sensitive topic so maybe I'll do a blog post about it over the weekend. That way people can decide if they want to get involved with that without getting possibly triggered.
No weigh ins today?
Maybe tomorrow. 0 -
Thanks @glassofroses @bringbackthejoy and @2tall4thisworld! Feeling better for getting back to normal.
And I managed 30kg dead lifts this week which I'm VERY pleased with!
@vnukinga Are you doing weight training? If you've been a bit heavy on the weights you may just be seeing increased muscle weight on the scales, and that is not a bad thing!1 -
I forgot to check in on Monday! I was busy enjoying my day and trying to get stuff done.
07/03: 64.4 kg
07/10: 64.5 kg
07/17: 63.7 kg
I haven't been so strict with logging my meals lately despite lowering my daily calorie goals. But I got some meal prepping done so I'm not too worried about it.
My struggle this week: It's been kind of stressful at work so I did break down and eat some fast food. As a result I've bloated a bit and was around 64.8 kg today.
Highlight: I finally found a good black bikini top, and I'm able to fit into a medium! That hasn't happened since probably middle school for me.
Focus for next week: start working out regularly again, I've kind of fallen off track with that and I'm not going to gain the muscle I want if I don't get on that.0 -
