@cyndiesstuff did you see my weigh-in from Saturday? I posted it, but I saw you tagged me as being late. I just want to make sure you saw it, thanks.
I know, I had a rough week with my food and exercise last week. I am shaking it off, resetting this month!

Hello everyone! I started reading the posts from March, really going to try to keep up with everyone!
My name is Kirsten, I am 47 years old, will be married for 20 years in June, work full-time, I have 2 sons, 18 & 14. I have struggled with my weight most of my life. I lost a significant amount of weight when I was 21 years old, not sure the exact amount, but I would say 60-70 pounds. I have kept most of it off, but I have those stubborn pounds that are just hard to keep off. It has gotten harder as I have gotten older, just turned 47 in January and I am peri-menopausal. I refuse to give up! I am also a Lifetime member of WW. I am currently over my WW goal, I have to lose about 13 pounds to be back within goal, but I want to lose about 25 pounds and I think I will be at a good weight.
It is now less than 3 months until Memorial Day Weekend and my time frame to get back to goal is slowly dwindling. I decided I am getting these pounds off! No excuses! I was somewhat good over the weekend, especially yesterday, my weight is the same from Saturday. I prepped and planned for today. I ate well and I am going to workout when I get home. NO EXCUSES!!!!
Have a wonderful day & week! 6 -

February Week 01
201.6 lbs - I have been comfort eating for over a week now and gaining rapidly. I hope I can reign it in.2 -
@cyndiesstuff - well, I don't know what size I ACTUALLY was, as I was too busy stuffing myself into a 38DDD, and STILL overflowing. I was too embarrassed to buy anything bigger. The doctor took 6 pounds out of each breast, and I now wear a 36C!2

@kirsten11872 yup. I got it. Were going to rock march. Try making a 24 hour plan the day before. I made my plan for tomorrow this morning. It looks like this
Apple and Cheerios
Salad with tuna
Deli roll
Chicken stir fry
Raspberries
10k steps
60 oz water
Only put on your plan what you are 90% sure you will do. Then at the end of the day reflect how you did. The more you stick to your plan the more momentum you create.
@hope002 you look amazing!!
@eminater thats ok. Just a small gain. Start now. Its time to show up for yourself. You can do this. And you, my dear are the only one that can reign it in.
@twyla77 whoa girl you were lop sided just like me!!

@Mrsbell8well you are so cute! i love seeing those photos - such progress!1
-
@cyndiesstuff I love your 24 hour plan. I do plan our suppers but I don't usually meal prep to that extent. I should start doing that.
@Mrsbell8well Your transformation is really inspiring! Love your pics!
@hkfleming I did StrongLifts 5x5 for a while and loved it. Ended up hurting my shoulder and discontinued it but holy cow I got so much stronger and toned so fast! Welcome to the group!
Anyone here make their own zucchini chips? I'm confused about the calorie options in MFP. Here's what I did: I sliced 1.5 zucchini super thin, then sprinkled them with a little garlic powder, paprika, and pepper. No salt. Baked at 240 for 2+ hours until they were dried out and really crisp.
MFP says anything from 61 calories to over 120 for a serving, and there's little rhyme or reason as to why.
I'd say I ate about half a zucchini, but without breading or Parmesan or anything. I went with 61 cals, because I can't imagine it could be more than that.
I'm also at about 940ish calories for the day and feeling full as a tick. MFP will yell at me if I try to complete my day under 1,000. I seriously don't want to eat any more, though.
Morning: Fit & Active weight loss shake and coffee with cream
Lunch: Hickory smoked ham, collard greens, and dirty rice
Snack: about 6 cheddar and sour cream chips
Supper: BLT and oven-baked zucchini chips
I'm well on my way to over 90 oz of water, and haven't exercised yet but was planning on some light yoga later. Not really enough to count.
Hope everyone had a great Monday!!!4 -
Today, is the official two month anniversary of prioritizing at least 20 minutes of exercise each day - two straight months, I haven't missed a single day, even when the gym was closed for a week or when the weather was below zero. And now I know I CAN do it even on a day when I'm literally on the road for over twelve hours or when the gym is closed or the weather is horrible, so I have no excuses any other time!
I ate and kept well under calories for the day. I keep meals simple on weekdays (prioritizing protein, vegetables and some fruit), and I generally don't have cocktails or higher calorie treats. On weekends, I still hit my goals, but I have to be more creative so I can enjoy a little more flexibility. So far, that's working fine for me, and it feels like it it will be very sustainable when I finally arrive at maintenance.
Got in a 50 minute walk on the treadmill today. Tomorrow, I'll have to be bold and go join the new gym - it will be fine, but going to a new place is always a little intimidating right at first. It's a significantly better gym, though, and very geared to bodybuilding and power lifting, so I'm excited. Just not having to queue for the single squat rack or bench will be thrilling.....
I hit my 10,000 step goal, too.8 -
@GingerPwr I'm sorry about your shoulder. Have you found some form of strength training now that you like?
I'm glad to know you found Stronglifts beneficial, though. I think it's going to be a lot easier at my new gym, more equipment and more options - I'm hoping the fixed weight barbells might help me dial in my bent over rows, for example.1 -
@hkfleming I'm not doing any one program, but I do love free weights over weight machines, so I work in a couple of strength training days a week. Trying to balance between light running, strength, HIIT and yoga.5

can you guys add me back to the team? I promise to log my weight on time 2

All the ladies that posted transformation pics! Wow awesome job!!! Whether you’re down 10 or 40, it’s a big difference!!! Let’s keep on going spring is very close and summer too
I may post my pics later but they are in underwear lol don’t want to get banned for showing too much skin
Welcome @hkfleming! Hope you’re gonna like the team, it’s a great group of very sweet and supportive people! Seems like you got your plan and it’s working. Good job!
@GingerPwr I second this! I like free weights better than machines. It’s harder for us beginners but I believe it’s def superior...
We have a very decent home gym and I have to say I love that! Privacy and everything. I love working out alone
@cyndiesstuff and @twyla77 oh ladies! I’m so jealous you got breast reduction!!!
small boobs are so much better haha
I currently wear 34ddd. I was 36g < <yikes> when I started. I lost a lot from my boobs and have some loose skin, plus still too big to comfortably do some excercises. Maybe one day!

Monday checkin
food on target
water on tareget
exercise 30 mins spin 60 mins swim
I am on it at the moment. Went for my run this morning listening to pnp. I did my overnight oats so breakfast was ready when I got in. I have sorted out my lunches for the week and they are sitting in the fridge waiting for me. Today is pancake day in the uk usually this is the sort of event that makes me nervous about over eating but I have planned to have pancakes for dessert and have set aside the calories for the purpose.
Yesterday I asked me daughter to pick out my clothes for me. We set out our clothes the night before to make life easier in the mornings. Well she picked out 'that' dress which apparantly makes me look pregnant. So today I made a choice. I am wearingit because the way my daughter sees me is more important than how my colleague sees me. He is wrong all the time anyway. It is a great dress if I get a chance today I will post a picture. I am going to define myself and my experience.
@cyndiesstuff your poor bemused doogie. I am glad I made you so happy.

Steps: 15210 steps
Yesterdays 24 hour plan:
Apple and Cheerios
Salad with tuna
Deli roll
Chicken stir fry
Raspberries
10k steps
60 oz water
I did really good yesterday at following my plan. Yes! I am gaining momentum. My new habits are working. The in control cyndie makes the decisions. the in control cyndie wants me to succeed and sets me up for success, the in control cyndie has my back. this helps because, if left to my own devices, with the crazy day i had yesterday, then trying to plan a meal. forget it. this way all thats left to do is eat when i am hungry!!
Todays food plan (created yesterday morning)
Apple and protein one bar
left over fiesta chicken taco
smoked salmon and cheese stick
pan fried cod and veggie stir fry
banana ice cream sandwich (homemade)
10k steps
60 oz water
Ohhh see? yesterdays cyndie new she would be ovulating today and she would want a little more snacky food. i got your back girl. just eat when your hungry and stop when your satisified.
@GingerPwr i meal prep on sundays, i plan what we are having thru the week, shop for it, and then prep what i can. i make the detailed plan the day before. so when i get up in the moring, my food plan for the day is right on the table and i just grab ingredients!! makes life so much more simple for me. i am sure your zuchchini chips were pretty low cal. did you use any oil? that may be where the calorie difference is. have you every used mfp recipe creater. i loved it when i was tracking calories and macros. i am going to make those chips tho. they sound yummmoooo. and don't eat if your not hungry. listen to your body.
@hkfleming yayayay! two months. look at the new you go! you are certainly on the right track. how are you on drinking your water? are you getting good quality sleep?
@hope002 i have asked them to put you back on the spreadsheet. we will see what they say.
@lenka1 yeah mfp might have a cow about it. you know, you can wear a bikini and post picks but your underwear that covers more.... no way. lol.
@twyla77 woooo whooo look at twyla go. you are rocking it girl.
@gottagetthisdown that is just a small gain. don't you worry about it. get right back at it. don't let the scale determine your direction. did you make the weekend plan? how did it work for you? lets talk about the things you can change, not the number on the scale.
@amsandos really understand that i am personally invested in each one of my team mates lives. i care about each and every one of you. i know your stuggles and they are so like my own. ummmm and you guys have a pancake day? today is paczki day here in the us. it is a round polish pastry similar to a doughnut, usually filled with fruit and topped with sugar or icing. my fiance is polish and he is big on them (not fat, just likes them a lot) he will bring them home and i love love love them but they give me indigestion so i will pass the yummy pastry! and you wear that dress. that guy is a turd bucket. you are beautiful and you do not look pregnant. smile and walk tall. because you love the you in that dress!!6 -
Monday Check in:
Water: Good
Food: Good
Exercise: steps in, no yoga (ran out of time)
Yesterday was a pretty good day, I will still a little hungry during the day but it was either my body detoxing or stress at work. Stress always makes me want to eat!
Today will be a repeat of yesterday!
Happy Pancake Tuesday @amsandos I remember as a kid my dad would make us skillet sized pancakes for today. I loved it, but I never understood what it meant. Now that I'm all grown up I now know. I will not be partaking in it since I'm doing Whole30 and will continue Whole30 throughout Lent.
Have a great Tuesday and don't overdo it with the pancakes or paczki or Mardi Gras festivities

I won’t do underwear comparison side to side as it’s too much skin lol
But this is my transformation so far.
Oct 20 Vs March 5
165lbs vs 137-138lbs ( - 27-28 pounds so far)
Goal weight 125-128
I lift weights 4x a week and do some light cardio couple times a week.
...and I’m starting to feel happy now still want to do so much with my body. But seeing my leg and arm muscles lately lol I feel like I’m getting addicted to lifting. I don’t have a lot of pics from my “fat era - past 5 years lol”. But I have so many post workout pictures bc I can’t believe the changes my body has been going through! I want to look healthy and fit and muscular )
