Anyone struggling other than me

I don’t post too often due to my new job to exercise and maintain my lifestyle change is hard ..I was proud of my effort ..I have made a life style change to maintain my weight and fitness.. I have gained some weight but I’m determined to get back to 118 the weight I like to be at..so I will keep tweaking until I find the right formula that will work..

My race results

DancingMoosie

Was this your first race?

Have you gained muscle mass? Remember, you could have lost most of your weight through losing fat, and then started to gain muscle which weighs more than fat, so that could be your gain? Just saying... not all weight gain is bad.

Yes some is muscle..I’m just don’t want to go over my current weight..

DancingMoosie

Are you just running, or strength training also? Just keep logging and counting your calories. You can only gain muscle or fat if eating over maintenance calories (assuming you're still close to goal weight).

I haven’t been able to lift too much because I get home so late I’m drained from fighting traffic..today I did get some good cardio and light lifting ..my day starts at 430-500am wake up ..I get home between 630-745 depending on traffic

You should enter one..my first race when I crossed the finish line ..I still remember..I cried when I saw my overall results..tears of Joy ...which is motivating me to find some energy when I get home if it’s only 30 mins..
