    I’ve been away the past week and only just getting back into routine. So I missed my weigh in day but I know what my weight was so I’ll post now.

    User name: Lydiakate1995
    Weigh in day:Sunday
    Last week’s weight: 304lbs
    This week’s weight: 309lbs

    This gain was due to being on holiday I wasn’t tracking and just enjoying Spanish food.

    This week I will get back on track

    Exercise: Nope
    Calories: Yes
    Tracked: Yes

    Today was the day I got my last wisdom tooth out (finally!) so I've had a boring bland diet of soup and pudding and jello. Won't be able to exercise (heavily) until at least Saturday, but I'll be working on getting some steps in tomorrow and Friday at work!

I have decided to work on small goal which to me are more achievable than large one. Which i happy about. I still been having craving of nuts and cheese. Not sure why. I also start a new work routine from youtube. Hasfit and i am enjoying it. Go me! Tomorrow is my first weight in finger cross i lost weight!

    Weigh in week: Week 1
    Weigh in day: Wednesday
    Previous Week's Weight: (62.5kg) 137.8
    Todays Weight: (62.3kg) 137.3


    First Wednesday weigh in for over 2 months (with all the travel). Mind you it was at 5:00am before catching a flight interstate.

    For anyone that is new to Gutbusters this month just a note on my weigh ins. I am not part of the teams results. I am actively trying NOT to lose weight, but maintain. As such, my weigh ins are optional. I choose to post a weigh in so that others can see I am still keeping a similar focus in maintenance as I was when losing weight.

    Keep putting together enough 0.6lb loss weeks, and you'll be where you want to be! Keep track of your calories (including "off days") for a few weeks, and you should be able to make better predictions about how much you can realistically lose in a week. Keeping track of the data and seeing how the daily choices affect the weekly outcomes may help you make better choices along the way, too -- it did for me.

    I see you're doing the Hasfit workouts. I started with the month-long "foundation" workouts in April, and I've stuck with the daily exercises since then, moving up to the "Motive" level this month. They've been awesome for me, and I hope you get great results, too!

    @WishfulThinning18

    I love your username!

    Thanks for the congrats after I reached the milestone of 25 pounds lost.
    I actually did a happy dance in front of the mirror, lol!!!!! :D
    I am proud of myself.
    We all know what a long and hard journey it is to lose weight and keep it off.
    You will get there. It just takes time and perseverance and doing the things we know we need to do in order to lose weight. Recently people have asked me what my secret it is or how I lost the weight and I told them there is no secret. I knew what I needed to do (eat healthy) but I often didn't do it and how I lost weight is by making better choices one baby step at a time (e.g., I am not a fan a salad but I have now found ways to eat and even sometimes enjoy, lol, salad) and I had to remind myself that slow and steady wins the race so it is okay that it took me 2 years to lose the weight as I have now kept it off.

    Oh boy.... was told the company was buying pizza for lunch monday. There's usually a bunch too. It's my weakness and I'm already nervous. I can do this. I will not have any. It's not worth it right now. Maybe down the road but not right now. I'm doing really well and just don't need any distractions. Its a test I say. The good lord wants to see if I'm for real this time.

    So I'm trying to behave... but for some reason I'm hungry ALL the time lately. Like hungry my stomach has a dull ache hungry. Not sure what's going on. When I'm coming off breakfast I feel great. I have fruit and yogurt for a snack, a lunch meal (i'm doing Nutrisystem) decent sized salad and a side of cottage cheese and tomatoes, then peanut butter and apple for another snack. Up until I eat dinner.. this pain is there. As soon as I eat dinner I'm back to not having it. I don't know if I should swap out my dairy stuff for meat based protein or not. Only issue with that is it is less volume as the dairy hence why I chose dairy because I thought volume would be keeping me more full than the other options.

    It may also be ToM. Not sure but I wish it'd go away. It's been like this for a week... prior to that I haven't had this issue and I started 3 weeks ago on this journey.
