    I can't believe I haven't lost any weight since last week. I'm not sure why it's not falling off. I significantly decreased my junk food intake and started training for a half marathon on top of my normal workouts. Maybe I'll see a whoosh soon

    It's coming - just stay consistent. You'll wake up one morning and BAM - it's GONE!

    BMI: 22

    MEASUREMENTS
    Stomach: 82cm (32,82") -> 83cm (32,68) ^up 1cm (.5") last month
    Waist: 75cm (29,53") - no movement last month
    Belly/Upperhip: 90cm (35,43") - no movement last month
    Hips: 99cm (38,98") - no movement last month
    Thighs: 58cm (22,83") -> ^up 1cm (.5") last month (up 2cm (1") since November)

    GOALS
    #1 Still working on that actual pull-up/chin-up. I definitely feel I've become stronger yet the full range movement is still (way) out of reach.
    #2 Get back down to my "stable" weight of 66.x kg
    #3 Do IF more conscientiously; I've often ended too soon at 13 or 14 hours instead of the minimum 16.

    2 Jan - 68,7kg (151,46lbs)...
    6 Jan - 68kg (149,91lbs), 7day average
    13 Jan - 67,8kg (149,47lbs), 7 day average
    20 Jan - 67,8kg (149,47lbs)
    Last week I had 2 superb days, 1 okay day, and 4 way-over-kcal days so unsurprisingly, I didn't achieve much.

    I did really good during the week, but then I had a crazy weekend, filled with goodies all over.
    Luckily I've found log entries: "Way too much food" for 1.000 cals and "Too much booze" for 500 cals, which simplified my logging :smiley:
    I've also moved a lot, which made me hit my 70K steps goals for this week.
    Unfortunately, I also fell off one stupid step on the stairs hurting my knee, which prevented me to do further pushups.

    So goals 1 & 2 are met; for goal 3 I'll restart week 2

    I have no regrets as the weekend was really great. Now for a new week, with a normal weekend - this should do it !

    August SW 145.8 EW 145.6
    Sept SW 145.6 EW 145.6
    Oct SW 145.6 EW 142.6
    Nov SW 142.6 EW 146.2
    Dec SW 146.2 EW 147.0

    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

    Goal #1: Workout 4 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk
    Goal #2: Be consistent with push up challenge - Restarting 1/6/20
    Goal #3: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week
    Goal #4: Replace nightly glass of wine with herbal tea 3x a week

    1/2 - Oh joy - I've been putting off forcing myself to get back the groove...but seeing 150 on the scale this morning was a wake up call. Kicked the day off with Fast till lunch and brought a decent one with me to work. Been fighting a cold and just not giving a damn. So - I'm grateful for this group and it's baby steps today. No sugar and get intake under control. Off at 3 to go video horses - been fighting lots of deadlines & stress - it's been tough to get much exercise.
    1/3 - 148.8 - no workout yesterday, but did well on cals & stuck to no sugar. Working on the same things today.
    1/6 - 149.2 - Sat was great, super busy and did well on food.... Sunday - was stuck watching a volleyball tournament for most of the day and they over did it at dinner. Back at it today.
    /17 - 149.0 - Did well on eating - IF in the A.M. and under my 1420 for the day. Working to get back in the habit of logging every.single.bite. Pretty stationary day :-1: Worked thru lunch and appointment afterward... I'm shooting to get to workout Wed-Sun. Life is insane at the moment....but I can concentrate on intake- that's always doable.
    1/8 - Running late this morning and forgot to weigh.. Yesterday I took my 96yo Gram to dinner, fortunately she chose a French place so I did stay under on my cals - but no workout. On another note - we bought her one of the digital skylight frames and I HIGHLY recommend it. Super easy to set up last night and our entire family has been emailing pictures to it. She doesn't have to do a thing and LOVES it. She can't see the pictures very well on her phone when we send them and refuses to touch a computer - this frame is fabulous. IF this morning, I'm starving but there's no junk food at work so I'll make it.
    1/9 - 148.0 - Did decent on cals, did have a big ol cake donut - but stayed under on cals. Finally got to spend a few hours outdoors after work, felt like a new person. I'm not made for winter or indoor days. UGH! IF this morning... and no sweets today!
    1/10 - 147.2 - Did really well on food 1412 - and got an hour outdoors to ride yesterday.
    1/13 - 147.2 - Happy Monday.. insanely busy wknd, got in 20k steps yesterday just doing barn chores. I didn't try to log food, but did manage NO SWEETS all wknd!
    1/14 - 147.2 - did decent on food yesterday, had one small piece of chocolate before bed...but other than that - no junk. Day 1 Test to start Push UP challenge - 10,10,5.....and then 10 from my knees. It's a start point. I'm soooo sore today. I forget what a difference doing them 3x a week makes on core strength!
    1/15 - 149.0 - whooops.. that's what I get for overdoing it on the chips & salsa when we went out last night. I did get a great 45 min walk in yesterday at lunch.
    1/16 - 151.0 - Totally sabotaged myself at dinner after doing well all day - great walk at lunch, did PushUp Challenge 12,10,7 and then had to go to my knees to do 10. It's a start at least. Dinner at Chili's for my fiance's 11 year old. UGH! Trying to pick my sucker up out of the dirt this morning and start over with some green tea and lots of water. Still so miserably bloated. On the upside when I fed this morning my colt escaped - so chasing him around I got in LOTS of steps - he was a complete *kitten*.
    1/17 - 147.8 - I feel like my body needs a 'reset' so yesterday I fasted until dinner and kept it very light - 410 total for day. Feel SO much better this morning. It's date night tonight, but I am going to fast again until dinner - funny how much easier it is to feel satisfied with smaller portions that way. Worked 10 hours yesterday & church last night so med activity. I'll go back to the 1400 cals a day this wknd.
    1/20 - 145.8 - Insanely busy wknd - I swear if I didn't have a desk job, I think I could hit my end goal weight in about a month - stayed at 145/146 Sat/Sun. I'm a bit body sore - but today I WILL do the push up challenge and fast.

    @weatherking2019 - Looking good! I can see progress!

    Wedding plans - I'm keeping it tiny for a reason - Hahaha! It's going to be super casual & quick. We went by the jewelers and finalized my ring design on Sat. I'm pretty excited to get it! It's so hard to find something that's tough enough to withstand my lifestyle so my ring is pretty non-traditional, but I love it.

    Hey all,

    no weights today. Last week ended on a high after eating out twice after each other. No regrets though. Those were lovely evenings although not necessarily helping with dropping stuff off my balance! Anyway, weekend went a bit better but weight stayed high. Yesterday I did pretty okay until I logged what I had for dinner. It was just veggies with a bit of tofu and soy sauce and olive oil but adding it all up... still a bit of deficit though because no chocolate for Blue Monday :smiley:

    Today running and prepared to do similarly good as yesterday. Feels like I'm coming around. I also don't feel as exhausted and tired as last week. Should help overall, too.

    Mini progress, mostly in the mindspace, but ready to build on it.

    @cayenne_007 Can't wait to see it either, the ring to survive it all :smile:
    @Antiopelle Those options! I need them in my life. Should check if they got something like choc-shock or so as well, hahahah.
    @weatherking2019 Lovely progress! Nice to see hard work paying off.

    @cayenne_007 Hey, I didn't know we are doing a 48h simultaneously! I'm 27h in now: it's evening, I'm hungry & tired but still very pleased with how I feel somehow. Glad to see someone else share that "reset" feeling you get! :)

    Goal #1: keep eating nutritious smoothies
    Goal #2: keep exercising
    Goal #3: focus on the big picture and not small set backs

    I have been sick for basically all of December. Various viral infections and strep. I’m just starting to come to the other side and back to wellness. Due to the illnesses, I have really had to focus on tracking my food and staying within my calorie budget. Because of that I have still been consistently losing weight, but I truly miss working out. I know the gym is packed right now, but I want to be in the thick of it moving my body. I plan to get back into it on Monday, should I have the energy and feel well enough.

    I've never tried it before - but I've just felt so 'icky' & bloated lately. Not gonna lie - yesterday was pretty easy - but the last couple of hours have me questioning my sanity. Any tips? I'm drinking water & tea like it's going out of style.

    Yesterday I was homeworking, which is always a major trigger. However, I managed except for 1 treat (instead of 4 or 5) and I ate dinner at 15h30 out of necessity as I had an appointment that was going to last all evening. Suprisingly, I wasn't hungry before going to bed and not even until now, so I did a mini-fast of 17 hours. Inspired by @l4a_p and @cayenne_007 . Maybe I'll do this more often.

    Goals this month:
    1. Stay under calorie goal everyday on MFP.
    2. Limit dessert to every other day.

    1/7: Well, I haven't been great about goal #1 - but if I'm still losing weight, I'm okay with it. I've modified my dessert goal (#2) to keep it as a treat for the weekend only. Seems like I torture myself if I try to do a little here and there rather than just abstaining throughout the week. I do love my chocolate :)

    1/14: Not thrilled to see that I’ve gone up since last week. Not exactly sure why, since I haven’t eaten differently, but I’m trying to remember that this is a slow and steady process. I want to quit yo-yo-ing, so if I lose an average of a pound a week, I’ll be happy.

    1/22 (writing on 23): Excited to see I lost a pound since last week! If I can lose one more by the 31st, I'll be happy with this month's progress!
