    Latest NSV: The guy I'm dating insisted I weigh less than I do by carrying me around on his back and being adamant it "couldn't possible be 66kg". Also, he stated I shouldn't lose any more weight because he likes to keep "something to squeeze" 😆and according to him I'm juuuust right. Not paying attention - I do what I want- but still pleasing to hear, especially from such a fit guy.

    You rock it girl !! That guy is a keeper, haha ! :smiley:

    My aim this month is to get to 10 stone 7, this now seems unlikely, I just can’t get into the swing of things, I’m so tired and keep making the wrong choices. Today is a new week, so will try harder.

    Same here, let's do this thing, we know we can and we will feel better al the same next week Monday !

    Goal #1: maintain between 68 and 70.
    Goal #2: restart the pushup challenge, this time with real pushups
    Goal #3: keep on logging everything

    So, I'm back from my superlong holiday, which kept me away from the scales (which was scary in itself), but I weigh exactly the same as when I left. Lots of parties and diners, but also a lot of diving, so that was a good exercise in maintaining already :smiley:

    I've not been able to bike to work this week as the weather is horrible.
    I didn't restart the pushup challenge - no excuse
    I did log everything, but then again I ate like a vacuumcleaner, with no mindfulness whatsoever.

    So I need to get a grip, I've been there before and this is exactly the point were I normally would slide again. But not this time ! I need to figure out some cardio during the winter months which seem to have started early this year. The logical thing to do is to go the gym, but I don't like it as I'm a real outdoors person. I'll give it a thought though and take a decision before next week. My resting HR is through the roof so something needs to be done.

    No exercise + eating without limits = current weight of 71.4

    1. No bike to work last week, and very long days staying in meetings without movement.
    2. Still didn't restart the push-up challenge
    3. I kept logging everything.

    Ok, so Im still sliding on wrong side of things. Today is my birthday and my goal was to weigh 70 and I didn't make it. No biggie, I still can do it, but I'll need to change things. It's been two weeks now and I need to find a way to include more exercise. Wednesday evening I will check out a gym close to home to see what they can offer me for the winter months.

    Current weight: 71.5

    I wound up taking last week off from the Push Up Challenge as well - restarting today & rather dreading it - but I do think my arms/upper body are more toned.

    Goal#1: Log consistently and accurately! Even on the weekends when I typically overeat and don't track.
    Goal#2: Do 20 min of cardio at least daily, take 2-3 long dog walks a week.

    New to this challenge and just got back to MFP after months of absence. I just turned 28 and I am the heaviest I have ever been. I've always been an athlete and in pretty good shape but have been slipping the past year or two. Trying to make some good progress for a wedding in the philippines coming up in February and then stick with it until bikini season in summer 2020.

    Sitting at the airport coming back from a conference and I am pleased to report I NAILED my goal!!!! Stayed within reasonable range of calorie targets every day while traveling this past week - ate grocery store food most of the time with only one night out for dinner. I didn’t set an exercise goal but I managed to go out for walks on breaks and free time and even used the hotel gym twice!! Got to try a fancy Peloton bike😝😝
    I weigh in tomorrow morning but I’ll have to say even without a number to go with it I’m feeling pretty accomplished

    Congrats on staying on track traveling!!! That's never easy!!

    5'8" 42yo
    SW: 145.6
    Oct GW: 140
    GW: 133

    August SW 145.8 EW 145.6
    Sept SW 145.6 EW 145.6

    I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
    Bust: 38 - Aug (-1")
    Band: 33 - Aug (-1")
    Waist: 28.5 - Aug (-.5")
    Hips 38.5- No change in Aug

    No change in measurements in Sept - At least I was consistent with weight/measurements! LOL!

    Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk - stay consistent with Push Up Challenge
    Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 25 real push ups in a rep
    Goal #3: Drop .5" off waist
    Goal #4: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week
    Goal #5: Do some decent crockpot meals

    10/1 - 145.6 - exhausted. Just going to watch intake today and try to crash early. Went over about 300. Just felt crummy.
    10/2 - 146.8 - Funny how 8 hours of sleep can change your prospective. Yoga Burn Week 11 at lunch and Push Up Challenge - 14,16,12,12,20 - FINALLY did a rep of 20!!! Worked out at the barn for a couple of hours and rode one colt. Stayed just within on cals.
    10/3 - 147.6 - I'm just gonna ignore this and carry on. Yoga Burn Week 12 at lunch. Did decent on food.
    10/4 - 147.0 -
    10/7 - I feel like CRUD! As in run over by a truck... been fighting sore throat/swollen lymph nodes since Sat. I'm just trying to take it easy today and let my body recuperate. Ugh! Giving myself a pass on yoga and pushup challenge for a couple of days...I can't get sick, I don't have time for this... I'm really done whining now.
    10/14 - 146.0 ... my 'couple of days' turned into a week. I just couldn't find my groove last week & getting an IUD knocked me down pretty hard. Busy weekend with lots of time outdoors. I've eaten horribly the last week - bit surprised the scale wasn't higher this morning. Happy Monday! Push Up Challenge restarted week 4 for about the 3rd time 16,14,12,12,18 - shook like a leaf on the last rep. Got in a decent quick walk at lunch.. it's a start. Wound up under about 400 cals.
    10/15 - 145.6
