January Loss ~
Thoughts: I missed living yesterday, added out of cycle weight to capture today's bump. I'm way off routine, so not unexpected. Taking it as a warning to get back on track. Can't keep eating whatever and sitting here like a lump 👀

Running tally for January Gain/Loss: Gain 0.14 -
After maintaining a pretty steady weight (within 5 lbs) for several years, suddenly I have put on 13 lbs due ( I think) to stress, not enough sleep or exercise, and not tracking meals. So here goes.

Total loss for January - HAHA I will take the .2 I was up 3 lbs on the 2nd. Up through the 27th I did really well, had more trouble on the 29th through the 2nd. Partially because I was out of town for 4 days. But back on, and back to low carb.
But while away, I had an AHA moment! To be successful this time, get the weight off, and keep the weight off! My focus has to be on the Foods I can have and Enjoy. And quit moaning about the Foods I decided to give up, because the facts of life as a Diabetic they were not good for me. So time to stop the whining!
Onward and Downward we shall all go!5 -
I'm so happy to see you back @SamanthaLouiseMence! I hope you are in a much better space now, and I will stop posting over in the October thread.
The fourth quarter wasn't good for me; my mass is up. At least it's not that much.

December 31 starting weight - 146.4 (ten-day rolling average weight 145.2)
January goal - 143
Ultimate goal - Range between 142 - 148
I report scale weight and (ten day average weight).

Total loss for January: According to my scale, I lost 1.6 pounds since the end of December, but my ten day average is up the tiniest bit. In the past week, though, I gained by both scale and average weight, but by less than a third pound. At least it's less than a couple days ago.

Id like to lose 4-5lbs in January.
I have gained and lost many times unfortunately. This is my 3rd attempt at losing and maintaining a healthy weight over 15 years.
I have carried and birthed 2 children during that time as well, so naturally my body is a little worn out from all the fluctuation lol.
I’m planning to make this my last ever weight loss journey and work on maintaining a healthy weight/fitness level for the remainder of my life!
My all time high was 229lbs.
This attempt start weight: 217lbs
January start weight: 173
January goal: 168
Ultimate goal: 135
1/1 - 173

Looking forward to continuing to make progress to my goal! I’m hoping to lose at least 1lb/wk. Good Luck!

January Loss ~
Thoughts: I'm back on track with both eating plan and exercise. I'm easing into the exercise by doing some yoga. I seem to be having some problems with my hip, so want to be cautious - and the yoga stretches feel good. I was actually a little lower yesterday. I think this is a bit of fluid gain did to a higher than normal sodium day and stress reaction from the hip.

Although I do a lot of walking, I need to do some constructive exercise as I am very unfit! I'm 63 years old , 5 foot nothing and feel too heavy and sluggish.
I need to focus on diet and exercise to improve my flexibility and health in general, by joining I hope to get the incentive to actually lose weight! Looking to find hints and tips from all of you.

@wizzywig I started my journey for the 3rd time at your current weight two years ago. I have discovered that my big game changer was going to the gym with my husband - consistently going (2 to 3 times a week). It really helped my slow weight loss - 10 lbs in 7 months - but for our height, it is great! Keep in mind that I do not go crazy at the gym. I cannot do high impact exercises because my knees can't handle it. My doctor recommended strengthening my quadriceps and hamstrings since the elliptical would give me knee discomfort. If I am lucky, I will barely start to sweat after 15 minutes on the elliptical.
My typical gym time includes
20 minute warm-up with squats, lunges, 5 alternate push-ups, 20 sec plan, 16 sit-ups, etc
20 minute workout, either arm or leg focused
Leg Day:Squats, 3x10Arm Day:
Lunges, 3x10
Glute Extension, 3x10, 10lbs
Leg Extension, 3x10, 10 lbs
Leg Press, 3x10, 10 lbsLateral Raise, 1x10, 3 lbs10 to 20 minutes on the elliptical, if time allows
Overhead Press, 1x10, 3 lbs
Bench Dips, 1x10
Extension, 1x10, 3 lbs
Curl, 1x10, 3 lbs
Flat Fly, 1x10, 3 lbs
Kneeling Push Up, 1x10
Lat Pulldown, 1x10, 10 lbs
Starting slow is key in my opinion. I was not able to go to the gym for a month in November and now, I cannot handle 3 lb dumbbell exercises for my arms so I use 1 lb weights. I changed my dips and push ups to 5. Once I feel more comfortable, I will increase my weights and reps. (I am also excited to work way back up to 32 sit-ups (4 sets of 8 reps).
In July 2019, I started to calorie count more strictly. I keep a spreadsheet with daily weigh-ins and calorie intake. I attempt to eat between 1200 to 1300 daily. It helped increase my weight loss.
I am 31 and 5ft.4
