    Not much progress this week as Canadian Thanksgiving was over the weekend, but that's ok back on track. This will be my last month cutting, I am so done with this!

    I am in odd position of feeling uncomfortable with weight gain and most is probably muscle but would like to loose 10-15 lbs going slow so I do not trigger myself into restricting too much I am 155 goal would be 140. Very active in gym weekdays.

    Oct Goal: 62.9

    I feel stuck! The stick is completely a mental barrier. I keep sabotaging myself. I do well all week and allow myself freedom at the weekend which causes me to stagnate. I’ve been using stress as a reason for allowing this sabotage. On a positive note, I’ve been doing great at maintaining for the last 6 months.

    Good morning lovely ladies,

    Changes are happening very slowly here but as long as the weight goes down eventually I am okay with it.
    I decided to bite the bullet and really watch my calories' intake and stay away from my daily glass of wine with dinner. Even though I don't drink more than that (5 oz.) I realized that after I start to crave sweets and my strong will goes out the window. So now I dedicated a few specific days when I allow myself to have it. Yesterday I treated myself to a spa day and had a bit of my favorite red blend with dinner. I am happy to report that I didn't go overboard afterwards and only had to cookies! (Hehehe...)
    Today, back to the grind.

    Have a fantastic week and stick to those goals. We can do it!

    Changing my goal since I don't seem to be moving in the direction as quickly as I thought I would be. Also, I got sick on friday and I'm still getting over it. So here's a week of low impact and good choices.

    Logging everything and doing ok with macros & whole food choices but also working in the junk food. Had some sweet short trail runs & hikes on off days from lifting - it’s really fall and the trails are so pretty! The foot is still iffy but moderate cardio seems to help me stick to the right cals anyway. Funny how we learn these things.

    Slowly coming back down woo! My husband and I switched up our gym routine, now we are going everyday for 30 minutes at 6 AM. M/W/F are weight lifting days and T/TH are cardio days. The 30 minute workouts on weekdays are kind of throwing me off since I am used to us doing an hour, so I feel like I'm not getting as much stuff done. But I think we are going faster and trying harder since we are trying to get as much in during the time frame. I guess I will see how we feel after the week and then change accordingly.

    Hi everyone! Looks like many of you are making good progress and hanging in there! Welcome to the newcomers!

    I got sick at the beginning of October and thought at first it was an asthma flair-up from allergies, but I wasn't coughing at all, just a lot of pain while breathing. Turns out it was an infection of the membrane around my lungs and it took forever to heal. I stopped working out for a couple of weeks and did nothing. I'm finally back to feeling good again and started my workouts back up this week. I know some of you have asked about my youngest kiddo since his surgery in August, and we finally found him a fantastic, attentive dentist so that has been a HUGE relief.

    I'm inadvertently back on the losing train, and possibly never left it and was just retaining a huge amount of water through September.

    So I feel like I might be getting stronger but the number is not moving in the direction that I had hoped, not so sure I'm going to get to my goal but I am going to take measurements at the end of the month, hopefully some progress is happening.

    Weight keeps holding steady, but to be fair I haven't had much motivation to try lately. I'm switching back to Body Beast because I felt so great while doing that program. I finished day 2 today and it looks like I won't be able to walk tomorrow :) do it for the ice cream

    Got back on track, dropped some, and seem to be maintaining here while I take a logging break. But back to logging today. Because Halloween candy.
