    Goal #1: Drink more water
    Goal #2: Move more at work - (desk job)
    Goal #3: Start a strength training program

    2/2: 137.6
    2/5: 137.8 was thinking about using my cold as an excuse not to, but I'm going to focus on goals 1 & 2 today
    2/14: 138.8 I have not been tracking but I have been moving (literally packing my house and moving!) so I think that has helped my weight stay close to sw.
    Happy Valentines day! <3

    Want to get back to safely under 53kg

    Hurray! Back under 53kg as of yesterday. It took 5 weeks this year for me to lose 2kg - that's pretty fast for me :)
    A few more weeks of calorie restrictions to get another 0.5-1kg off, but aiming for slower pace now...

    17/02: 70.8 - which I believe to be just a fluke

    For the goals last week:

    1. done + one long trekking on Saturday
    2. done
    3. done - I feel like I'm finally mastering week 2 - up to week 3 !
    4. Ai caramba. This went wrong on Thursday. I deliberatly drank two glasses of wine, but I must say it kicked me in the back, as I didn't sleep well due to palpitations and a feeling of nervousness during the night. I only have this when I drink alcohol and I think it's time that I listen to what my body is trying to say: the time of G&T's, wines and afterdinner drinks is over. I'll save a nice glass of red for the occasional weekend lunch. But no more than one, and no longer in the evening as it messes up my sleep too much. I'm getting old I guess ...

    ME:
    30y * 5'9" * BMI: 22 * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)

    FEB GOALS
    1. Traditional "Tour Mineral" = No alcohol this month
      Saturday I was at a party having a difficult time, but I abstained!
    2. Since I can't seem to control portions, food needs to be optimum this month: very simple dinners consisting mainly of cottage cheese with fruit, or meat with basic veggies and zero additions. And for the love of everything: cut back on carbs!
    3. Stop buying dates and nuts. Got in the habit of visiting the weekly market because I so love fresh dates and I deluded myself by saying "But they have lots of fiber and are low glycemic index" -> BS woman, they are still clumps of delicious sugar. No more.

    MEASUREMENTS
    Stomach: 84cm (33,07") -1cm || 83cm
    Waist: 76cm (29,92") -1cm || 75cm
    Belly/Upperhips: 92cm (36,22") -1cm || 91cm
    Hips: 100cm (39,37')
    Thighs: 59cm (23,23") -1cm || 58cm

    WEIGHT - 7 day averages
    Start weight: 68,3kg (150,58lb)
    4 Feb: -0,3kg (0,66 lbs)
    11 Feb: -0,3kg (0,66 lbs)
    17 Feb: -0,6kg || 67,2kg (148,15lbs) || I'm happy with the results and must say they are earned. I'm not eating super clean persé (had pancakes and waffles this weekend), but definitely below my calorie budget + I'm running again. Still contribute the success to playing the game all day long; no time for eating!
    And most of my gained measurements (2cm on average) have been halved again. Really hope it continues like this and I'll be soon back to where I was 3 months ago...(damn you end of year holidays!)

    169 cm / 5’5”, 37 y 
    GW Feb: 70.5 kg / 155 lbs
    Monthly avg –> Sep: 73.6 kg / Oct: 73.0 kg / Nov: 72.5 kg / Dec: 71.6 kg / Jan: 71.7 kg

    Goal #1: Loose what I regained in January.
    Goal #2: Log more regularly (except weekends, still can’t be bothered).
    Goal #3: Go running at least twice a week. Plus some first sessions for flexibility exercises at home.

    1-8 feb: Holidays, no weighing. Loads of wine and food.
    9 feb: 73.0 kg
    10 feb: 72.8 kg
    11 feb: 72.3 kg
    12 feb: 71.9 kg
    13 feb: 71.4 kg
    14 feb: 72.1 kg
    15 feb: 71.9 kg (7-day avg: 72.2 kg)
    16 feb: 72.0 kg (7-day avg: 72.1 kg)
    17 feb: 72.7 kg (7-day avg: 72.0 kg)

    So, back in the game again. Week went solala. I'm glad that on a whole I lost what I gained during the holiday trip but the swings between some single days are telling me that I'll have to be more mindful than normal of what I put into my tummy if I don't want the upwards-trend to gain momentum again. Food was not too bad last week, although Thursday and Friday both saw some cake and yesterday some homemade pizza. All in moderation but it's slowing things down, as does the alcohol which I enjoyed for valentine's and my bf's birthday last week. Still yummy, so no beating myself up over it but also reminding myself that it could have been less of it.

    As for goals: #1 is on the way - already back to what I had before the holiday trip. The rest should follow soon enough. #2 looking good - stayed consistent and didn't skip anything, except the weekend. #3 is on the way too - started with 1x running 45 minutes and a pole class (including extra stretching at the end) last week. This week, lower distance runs (ca. 8 km per run) but twice, plus a pole class. In-laws stopping by the coming weekend, let's see how time will allow to add some stretching at home this week with all that's on the to-do list.

    HAPPY MONDAY to all :smile:

    Respect for the party without alcohol, that is the most difficult situation.
    And it looks as if you are back on track, way to go girl !! You've got this :smile:

    Feb. SW: 147.4
    Feb. GW: 145.4
    GW: 130


    Goal 1: Continue to make sure I'm getting in 5-7 a day.
    Goal 2: Lift 3 days a week and pole 1 day a week
    Goal 3: Meet calorie goal 90% of the time
    Goal 4: Be better at eating mindfully
    Goal 5: Don't beat myself up if everything does not go as planned. Some weeks I won't be able to make all of the workouts I want and some days I may go over my calorie goal. It is okay.

    2/3 - 148.3

    Jan 31 EW: 147.6

    February 29 GW: 144

    Goal #1: Eat 3 balanced meals / no snacks / 1 small treat per day
    Goal #2: Add in pilates or yoga 3 days/week to my cardio routine

    2/22 - 147 lbs. Anyone else avoid the scale when they think they've gained the weight back??? That's what happened to me the last couple of weeks, which is why I've been a little quiet on here. Thankfully, I didn't gain and actually lost just a bit (.6 lbs). I won't make my February goal of 144, but I'm hoping for 145 by the end of next week. I've enjoyed continuing to read through everyone's progress on here! And huge congrats to you, @weatherking2019 !!!
