Hello ladies, I hope you are all well and have an amazing weekend! I'm having a tough time cutting the sugar and carbs, its so hard. We have had so many birthday celebrations and BBQ's lately, and with those come yummy desserts. It seems like I'm doing well, but then when I eat something with a lot of sugar, I crave more. It's hard, but it'll pass!1

A bit late in posting this. Lol!
SW: 227 (March 2014) LW: 158 (Oct 2017)
01 Aug: 167.6
08 Aug: 167.6 (maintained)
15 Aug: 167.4 (had dropped lower but this was the weight on the scale today)
22 Aug: 167.2
29 Aug: 166.8 (it was 166.4 earlier in the week, but this was what I weighed on Wednesday)- I am continuing to focus on muscle toning and improving stamina.
- Managed 30+ HIIT cardio/strength daily throughout August.
- Have increased Step goal by 500.
- Aiming for a slow steady downward trend, so August has been reasonably successful.
- With only 12lbs to go it is more difficult to lose weight but the scale is only one indicator in my lexicon of measurability.

Down to 246.4 this week. It’s not quite a pound but I’ll take it. Tough week. Lots of temptations, but I came out on top!

I had two weeks there where the scale barely moved...think I maybe lost 1lb in total but thankfully, this week I’ve lost 3lbs. I hate when I hit a lull like that, it’s so discouraging! But, I’m finally losing again. 3

Hi everyone,
Feeling much better this week , almost pain free, so planning on hitting the gym again for a bit of strength training most likely after I have finished work on Sunday. Though I haven’t managed to get to the gym frequently over the past few weeks I did manage to still do a bit of walking most days and am happy I can do a bit more this week. Did my first proper work out cycling today for just over an hour and have made some good choices over the past few days.
So
Starting weight Mid January 226.2 lbs
Last weeks weight 168 lbs
Today, back down to 165 lbs
Targets for the coming week:
My focus this coming week is skin care and toning.
I would be very pleased to see 163 lbs by next week.
Fit in some strength training/ toning exercises at the gym and a session of Callanetics
Get back into the routine of making my food from scratch from Monday (after I have finished eating the rest of them), as I got a bit lazy with the pre prepared M&S convenience meals when I wasn’t too well.
SEPTEMBER 🎯
To reach 161 by mid September and celebrate being ~ three quarters of the way to my target by booking a nice trip to Dubai.
To be under 159lbs by end of September
Thanks everyone for well wishes. It’s been great to keep up with all of your progress, and has kept me motivated even when I wasn’t feeling too great. Well done to everyone. Hope you are all having a good Wednesday 🙂

Good day everyone. Almost forgot today's weigh in..
CW 156.5- down 1.5 lbs from last week. I'm happy with the loss but I am still not making the best food choices.3 -
Hi everyone. Been travelling a lot this week and back and forth helping out with unpacking boxes decorating and all the things you have to do with moving. Haven't found my scales yet. Hopefully be a bit more organised with food prep and logging this coming week and have located my scales by next Wednesday weigh in. I did manage to get a Fitbit though and wear it most days.
Well done for getting back on track, it's hard to do.
And well done on weight loss.
Targets: find scales
Gym strength exercises/toning
Healthy food choices this week. And spend some time meal prepping/planning.2 -
Hello, hope you all are well and meeting your goals.
PW- 156.5
CW- 155
20lbs loss total since starting MFP (July 18th this yr). It's been a tough couple of weeks for me, as far as controlling my hunger and cravings, especially sugar. I hope it gets better soon. It's more of a mind over matter thing. I try to keep myself busy when I have cravings so I don't think about it, but I don't completely deprive myself either. Trying to use things like fruit and yogurt when I am craving sweets. I also got some dark chocolate mildly sweet chocolate chips, to have a few of those when the chocolate craving hits. I'm not sure if that was a good idea or not lol but we shall see! I am also trying to get some type of exercise in every day, even if it's just for 20 minutes. My goal is to lose 15 more pounds by Christmas.
@meepmya I hope you found your scales, and that things are getting better for you. I am thinking on purchasing a Fitbit soon also!1 -
Good day friends 😊
PW: 155
CW: 153.5
GW: 130-135 (Recently changed from 140)
I recently added 2 miles of walking for 3-4 days/week, and a 5 minute YouTube squat video on top of my daily workout. The hard work seems to be really paying off. The best part is, I truly enjoy all of it, makes me feel so much better about myself.
Good luck ladies 💗❤💗❤1 -
Sorry been so busy. 161 now. Didn’t quite get my target for September but able to focus more on fitness now after a lot of personal upheaval. Well done to everyone1

CW 161 fluctuating
1st GW 140
Hi all, sorry to have been a bit awol. I have had to reevaluate some goals over the past few weeks, not all of them related to this weight loss health and fitness one. I have taken some time out to make a start on some other personal goals, which has meant my focus has been split as I begin to form new habits in relation to my other goals.
It has given me the time to also evaluate where I am with my health goal, what I want and what I need to do to get there. I’ve also been focusing on what comes after and planning ahead to after I have achieved my weight loss goal. I’ve made changes to my calories allowance based on my current weight. (Up until now I hadn’t factored in that as you loose weight your calorie needs change also, which probably explains why I hit such a long plateau). So, I know I need to up my exercise, and toning up is quite important to me so I will be looking at changing gyms this week and doing some group gym exercise classes, (which apart from aqua fit I haven’t really done up until now).
My focus for the next week is to do some group exercise and find a few I’d like to stick to. Never done yoga so that’s on my list to try. So I have a 3 day trial at a new gym which offers classes starting from Tuesday.
I am adding more strength training to my exercise routine and HIIT workouts.
I am working with a nutritionist now so I can have a healthy diet that is more of a lifestyle, rather than just for weight loss, so I can sustain healthy eating and have a good relationship with food, long after I have reached my goal.
I am in the process of considering whether to get a personal trainer at the new gym so I have someone there to help keep me accountable with exercise part of my goal, set some targets and an exercise/workout program that I can accomplish.
I’m concentrating on toning up and not just the number on the scales but my body measurements too. I’ve booked my trip to Dubai to celebrate my weight loss so far. So looking forward to that in a few weeks too 🙂
xx

@meepmya thanks for sharing your goals with us. Sounds like you've got a good plan going. I also think its great that you are working with a nutritionist. Let me know how Yoga goes! I have been thinking of adding it into my routine as well. Hope you have a lot of fun on your trip!0

Good day ladies. I didn't get around to posting last week and forgot yesterday.
October 3rd: 153.5
October 10th: 152
October 18th CW: 151
My October goal I set for myself is 148. I have 3 more pounds to lose. I know I can do it, but need to make sure that I drink enough water. My eating has been just ok, I do not have a problem staying under, it's just "what" I eat. Still working on this as well.0 -
Hello everyone, I haven't posted an update in a while. Hope you all are doing well. It's still been challenging for me, but although my diet isn't the healthiest, I'm almost always within my calorie range, and exercise every day with only a day here and there missed. I'll just pick up with posting the weights where I left off:
October 25th: 150.5
November 1st: 151
November 8th: 149
November 14th: 147.5
Halloween did set me back a little with the candy, hopefully Thanksgiving and Christmas doesn't set me back too much. Really hoping to make me end of yr goal of 140!

You have time to make your goal!! I haven't been here in forever!! The candy set me back as well. We just keep trying. A couple of years ago when I had broken some ribs, the Dr. asked how it happened. I told him that I didn't warm up and was doing a home tv exercise class in a cold room first thing, lol. I said here I am trying to lose weight and now look what has happened. He said that he knows it is hard, but we have to keep on trying. He was on a weight loss journey as well. We laughed when he said that he has seen people come into the urgent care being punched in the ribs after a fight and they haven't broken any ribs. What can I say?? Leave it to me, lol!! Keep going and I will, too!!
