    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.

    I have been logging as accurately as I can using my food scale and weighing myself first thing each morning. I have been staying within my calorie budget daily + exercising and I'm still gaining. I know its only been a week but its pretty discouraging.

    @YoureAWalnut Where in your cycle are you? I gain a few days before I am due on, and then also find I’m a little heavier around ovulation.

    Umm, I don't really know. I never kept good track and I've had an IUD for 4 years now so haven't had my period for like 3 years. I don't get cramps anymore since the IUD (I had horrible ones for years) so not really sure what symptoms to monitor

    @YoureAWalnut That does make it hard to track. But certainly something that will impact your weight so don’t beat yourself up over a little gain :)

    Going to focus on my lower back. (love handles??) It's the toughest to lose so far. Any work outs without equipmentkymmidonhz1d.png

    Oct Goal: 126

    I started my cycle yesterday, and ate mostly at maintanence this week due to having company. It’s also the reason I only made it to the gym once this week. I did stay on track with my running program though, so I feel good about that. I also feel great about the fact that my clothes are getting looser!

    I didn’t make October’s goal by today’s weigh in, but I’m confident that I will by the 31st.

    Height: 176cm (5'9")
    Weight: 66kg (145,51lbs)
    BMI: 21,3

    Goals:
    1) Again maintain this weight for another month. I don't feel comfortable yet to start trying to lose more weight
    Weight was fairly stable, always between 66-67kg
    2) Be more consistent with the workouts (especially core)
    I did a lot of workouts so considering this goal achieved. For some reason, core seems to be getting harder instead of easier though. And my hips hurt with certain exercises (like leg lifts) - am I already getting that old??
    3) Be more consistent with kcal budget: right now I do a lot of days heavily over and then compensate the next day(s) - I want this to be more level headed
    Well, it was more equal all right, shame it was usually equally bad
    4) Continue running on HR and hope to see improvement...
    Been running in HRZ2-3 but little to no improvement yet to be detected to be honest. Bit disappointing but my expectations were low to start with anyway.

    1 October: 65,9kg
    8 October: 66,4kg (146,39)
    14 October: 65,8kg (145,06)
    17 October: 66,1kg (145,73lbs)
    22 October: 66,7kg (147,05lbs)
    28 October: 66,3kg (146,17lbs)


    My 36h fast went well and was followed by a decent day, and then...it all went out of the window again! I have no idea what's wrong with me but I can't seem to shift back into the right gear. My lover is no longer my lover and I think I'm maybe trying to eat (and drink: hello Midnight Baileys) through my emotions. Annoying. Happy to see I'm maintaining okay, but if I want to lose my last 3kg (6lbs) I really need to take some action next month.

    @l4a_p: cut yourself some slack, take a deep breath and evaluate. You know that eating your emotions away won't solve anything. You know that, but hearing it again my help a little bit. Try to pamper yourself with other things: a nice massage, a hot bath, a long fall walk, you name it ... as long as it makes you happy.
    Hang in there, girl ! xxxx

    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

    Just a quick post to say I’ve managed to see 70 today, which is my ultimate goal weight. Thank you to you all to keep me accountable and for all your support. I’ll stay here just to keep it on track this time.
    Now up to maintenance!

    1. I had two long walks and two dives for cardio this week - hubby and I are going to check out a local gym tomorrow evening :smiley:
    2. still didn't start the push-up challenge again, I hope to find the motivation if going to the gym !
    3. still logging everything - this is a very good thing as I had the last big party Saturday and I ate everything I wanted to. After logging, I could see that the damage wasn't that important, and I leveled things out on Sunday. So going on strong again, I feel as if I can do this maintenance thing!

    Current weight: 70.1

    1. Two long walks and two dives for cardio again. We didn't check out the gym yet as the weather was surprisingly nice last week.
    2. Still no pushup challenge - it's wrong, so wrong ... <kicks herself in the butt>
    3. still logging everything and foodwise it was a very good week where I stayed under my cals and under 70 kg almost all days. Then yesterday evening I found myself in front of a cheese & nuts & delicious bread platter and I went into hoover mode. :neutral: The mindfullness that I had all week just went out the window and I topped it off with a big slice of apple pie. Ow boy ...

    Current weight: 70.3
