Weekly weigh in
Last week: 130.4
This week: 136.8
Exercise walking on beach. My calves are so sore from about 5 hours of walking that I'm limping!
Calories way over
Had a great weekend at a wedding out-of-town. The scale's way up, I ate bad but not 7lbs worth of bad! Hoping it's water weight for the most part.
It is definitely mostly water. You will see that come off quite quickly once you are back on your plan and drink a lot of water.0 -
Goals for Monday;
1. No workout today. I worked out both days on the weekend and my plantar fasciitis is acting up. I have a physio appointment this week and am hoping they can help me get some relief. Anyone else have plantar fasciitis? It’s kind of frustrating - the workouts I want to do I can’t because it hurts my foot so I’m left with less strenuous workouts. I’d like to walk at lunch - that’s my goal. ❌ did some walking after work because my train broke down. Going to try again today!
2. Drink a tonne of water❌
Goals for Tuesday:
1. Drink 100oz of water
2. Go for a 40 minute walk sometime today1 -

Plateaus suck. Official weigh-in tomorrow afternoon when I wake up.
Good luck with the scale today!1 -

I stayed the same weight over the weekend so if I follow my plan I’m hoping for a loss this week!
Yeah man, it's a drag. Between PF and a second digit toe that gets roughed up when walking with vigor, it's cramping my style. Big help for the PF for me was never going barefoot, even in the house. Some support and not too much flex in any shoe. Also, calf stretching several times a day - I stretch both directions. Also took some nsaids for a few weeks, per podiatrist. It took about a month and now is mostly not a problem. The toe, on the other hand (haha), is not good - pretty sure the toe nail will fall out at some point. If anyone has ideas, I'm all ears.
Thanks so much for the info! I’ll start with the calf stretches today. What are nsaids? Is the pain low enough now that you could do physical activity like running for example? If that was your workout of choice?0 -

I deal with that too. One thing I did was to do stretches often every day and get a massage ball for the arch of my foot. I’ll be honest, I hate the way the massage ball feels but it helps so much. Good luck!!1 -

I’m so sorry you have had such a tough week. I’m honestly not a great person to offer advice on calories in and out because I haven’t found the formula or success on my journey..yet.
Everything I read says you have to be careful how much of a deficit you keep. I’ve read somewhere to eat back half your exercise calories but others on the team might have some other suggestions.
I hope you have a better week! Your energy is always so positive - you deserve to feel
successful whatever that means for you!2 -

@sunshineplace - Those sound like great goals! "I'll get there" works for all of them! If it gets hard to juggle, consider breaking it down to concentrate on one at a time? Welcome back! 👐🤗

I know how frustrating it can be to be doing everything you think is right and still not see the scale budge. I've struggled with that most of my life. Have you tried changing up the foods you eat? I know for me, I finally figured out that when I eat too many carbs my weight stalls or goes up. Like it did these last couple of weeks because I have been eating way more carbs than normal. I highly recommend Dr. Jason Fung's book the Obesity Code. It was truly eye-opening on how calories in vs. calories out are not always the best solution. My best advice is to keep on tweaking until you find what works for you. Just NEVER give up!! 2 -
