CW 133.5 (GW 130)

Making progress! Only 3.5 lbs remaining to lose in this stage. I've started looking at my options for the next stage, which is fitness, flexibility and strength. I'm up to 5K twice a week on the treadmill (walking! I don't have the joints for running.) Plus a couple of short hard days and a couple of easy paced, mid-length days. Working out some gentle stretches this week...and trying to find my abs. I know they're in there somewhere!

After reaching my goal weight, I'll be letting the new weight "settle in" while I'm looking for my new calorie point for maintenance. I figured I'd add 100 calories to my current 1200/day, stick there for a week and see what happens. If I gain a tad, I'll reduce to 1250. If I lose a tad I'll bump it up another 100 the following week. I'm pretty sure 1400 or under will be my new normal.

I've got my eating plan for next week's conference, and I'm packing a bunch of fresh vegetables and tuna packets for lunch and oatmeal for breakfast, plus some protein powder just in case I end up short for a given day. I've gone to the websites of various restaurants near the convention center and researched the menus, calculating as best I can the nutrition profiles of various dishes. (Some were mighty easy (?) with only one possible choice.)

I'm also not ruling out a second bout of weight loss this year. Not a lot, but 120 would be a pretty healthy weight for a 5'2" middle-aged woman. But I don't want to get ahead of myself. Let's see how I do at 130 first.

I'm totally joining this! I'm 33 (34 on July 25th). I started this year at 176 lbs with a BMI of 32.2. I'm currently at 169 lbs with a BMI of 30.9 and a body fat percentage of 46.4%. My goal by the end of the year is 120 lbs. I'd like to be down to 129 lbs by my birthday, but I would be content with 145 lbs. I started my Keto diet last month and doing pretty well on it. My daily calorie and macros goal is 1117 calories, 83g fat, 20g net carbs, and 72g protein.

Hello everybody, I'm 41, married with two kids and work full time. I bought myself a Fitbit for losing the first 50 pounds. I love it and the motivation it gives me. I am so excited to reach my goal weight and weigh half of what I did when i started this journey last year.

Woohoo! Lost weight despite the convention! I followed my plan, ate the food I carried with me for breakfast and lunch, and didn't get carried away at dinner. Kept my step count high and managed some workout time every day but one.

Just two pounds remaining in stage one; time to start mixing up the workouts and adding some strength training and flexibility!

Sunday weight 129.5 lbs...goal reached!

Exercising 6 days a week for 45-55 minutes, plus stretching, plus a wee bit of core work. Itty bitty improvements do add up! Found my old exercise VHS tapes and put one on; found myself doing step aerobics with a very young Cher.😅 Also tried out my old NordicTrac cross country machine, and man is that a tough workout!

Still waiting to add strength workouts. I gave myself a lovely case of elbow tendinitis by shoveling snow; two months ago and it still hurts like a @#$_&-(!

Big issue now is figuring out my maintenance calorie level. I'm moving over to watching my net calories now. I'm starting with 1000 net calories daily, and we'll see how that works.

I've also come across another food journal that seriously speaks to my inner geek. It's Cronometer, and it tracks EVERYTHING. Every essential vitamin, mineral, lipid types, and proteins down to the essential amino acid level. So I'm playing with that to see if I can fine tune my diet, to be sure I'm covering all my nutritional bases. Plus, hey, what good geek doesn't like more numbers?

So far I haven't found a daily food plan that covers 100% of my nutritional needs, but I'm up to 96% after just a week of practice. Problem is, to get those percentages I'm packing in nearly 1400 calories a day, which means I'm having to do some intense workouts to get my net down to 1000. Hopefully I figure out a lower calorie way to get all nutrients before I expire of exhaustion. 🤤

Hey hey! So glad I found this group. I live in the Middle East with my husband and two kids. I yo yo a lot, but am really wanting to get down to my goal weight. Haven’t made it in years. I finally joined a gym and started fight and weight lifting classes. Our ten year anniversary is coming up and really want to look amazing!

I would love to join!
HW=217
CW=164.6
GW=145 (and then reevaluate)

I'm doing Keto, that seems to be the only thing that helps me since I have PCOS and have become insulin resistant.
I feel so good when I'm on track, but sometimes I feel defeated because I still don't feel "sexy" and eat a cupcake. lol
I am in it to win it this time! Beach trip in 3 months and I want to feel comfortable in a mom bikini!

Nailed it on the first try with maintenance calories, holy moly. How did I luck out on that? 1000 net calories, average 1386 gross calories, which means 386 calories of exercise daily. I'm getting about 250-ish from dedicated exercise time in the morning and the other 136-ish from normal daily moving around. I feel like that's sustainable; at least I hope it is.

Pumped up my bicycle tires and put it on the resistance trainer (yes, I'm a gadget geek as well as a number geek) and have been putting in 10-15 minutes a couple of times this week before finishing on the treadmill. I'd like to get up to at least half an hour pain-free (in the nether regions, if you catch my drift) before spring really hits so I can move it outdoors. That's a lot more motivating than sitting in my basement.

Hey, anybody in the Chicago area want a Skier's Edge lateral trainer? I've got one that was used about three times and never again. All the attachments are still in their original boxes.
