    Hi everyone, this is my first update!

    I normally do a lot of sports but gained weight this spring during a depression I looked in the mirror in early July and thought -not ok! time to do something. I have logged my food, used a fit bit, upped my walking and logged food, aiming for 2000-2200 cal per day.

    Height: 5'6
    SW: 152
    Ultimate GW: 132-138

    July:148
    August: 146

    Today: 143!!!

    I had a really long plateu and decided to up my intake with 200-300 kcal for 2 days. I think I was holding some water because of stressing my body a bit.

    Now the question is, do I go back to my 2100 calories, or do I drop to 2000? According to my fitbit I burn 2500 most days.

    My aim is to lose a couple pounds a month, I have no hurries. I just want to lean up for vanity and my running times. I want to be able to lose and stay there so I want to take good care of my metabolism ^^

    Thanks in advance xx

    Hi everyone! I'm taking a diet break for a bit and working on recomp. I have another 6-7 pounds I'd like to lose eventually but I would like to work on putting on some more muscle and I'm enjoying better workouts with more food. I'm currently maintaining in the 126-127 pound range which has been pretty easy so far. I'm down another pant size so recomp appears to be working. Still doing Strong by Bret strength workouts and seeing great results.

    Height: 5'1"
    Highest weight: 195lbs.
    Ultimate goal weight: 120ish pounds

    9/16 - 127.2

    I'm on a sodium high today so it'll be interesting to see what I can do today and tomorrow ahead of Wednesday's weigh in. Am back in the gym, but my back continues to spasm (4 hours on a picnic blanket on Saturday eve really exacerbated it) meaning I can only do so much. As in: I can do dead lifts at my normal rep weight (20kg), but at half the speed. Russian twists are a no no. All fun and games!

    Well I'm back. I've had a steady 2.5 months away but when my birthday came a couple weeks ago, my husband gave me a TON of candy. Now I'm up 5 lbs and need to get my cravings and splurges under control. Working out 5 days a week hasn't waivered- I do it as soon as I wake up and realize what's happening haha so i think that means it's just food that's the problem. Happy to be back and seeing how well everyone is progressing!

    Height: 5'10"
    HW: 183lbs (Fri 24th March 2017)
    SW September: 163.6lbs (12th Sep weigh in)
    Ultimate goal: Around 150lbs
    September goal: 161lbs 160lbs Revised 19th Sept
    September body fat goal: 25.8% 25.6% Revised 19th Sept

    12th Sep: 163.6lbs – Body fat 26.3% (Moving Average 162.8lbs) (shark week too)
    19th Sep: 161lbs – Body fat 25.8% (Moving Average 162.4lbs)
    26th Sep:

    That was a much better weigh in than expected! The average is taking its time to come down, but I imagine it will start moving soon.

    SW: 138.7
    9/1: 136.7
    9/9: 136.7
    9/13: 136.3
    9/19: 135.7
    GW: <130

    Numbers are heading in the right direction. I've been more consistent about drinking a ton of water and going to bed at a reasonable hour, and I think that's actually helping, at least in how I feel. Took another home pregnancy test on Monday, 3 weeks after the loss, and yup it's still pregnant, which makes me mad and frustrated. I'm certain that's contributing to my body holding onto water and fat stores.

    My Average is coming down, so yay! I have done my 7 minute workout challenge every day except last night. I was making appetizers for a work lunch event and ran out of time before bed.
