*5/7 – 135.6 – a very depressing weigh-in. Other than last weekend, I am doing really well. Hoping to see that number go down tomorrow since I officially track the number on Fridays. SO sore from working out. I really, really don’t want to do it today, but here we go! Success.
*5/8 – 134.6 – I didn’t gain but I didn’t lose either. Today is a much needed scheduled rest-day in my workout program, so excited to have a break.

*5/14 – 133.2 – YAY down even more for my “official” Friday weigh in! I did my morning workout and decided to skip breakfast because I am doing a “distant” meeting with my family and want some extra calories left over for alcohol lol. MFP was down so nothing has been tracked yet.

Hey, everyone! I’m joining in very late this month. I’m back on the weight loss bandwagon after three years of my weight slowly creeping up 10lbs. My ultimate goal is to achieve what I didn’t the first time I lost weight: 140lbs. Here’s my info!
Height: 5’9”
Age: 26
CW: 161
May goal: under 160, so 159? 😆
GW: 150 (back where I was)
UGW: 140
I really started back trying to eat better and be more active about a week ago, but I was too scared to weigh myself until today. 161 is not nearly as bad as I expected it to be! Yay! I’m also in a wedding that is in September (not cancelled yet) and I’m hoping to be nearing the 150 goal (if not already there) by then. Anyway, thanks for being such a great community. I really appreciate how supportive everyone is!

May - wow! I've been snowed under the last 2 wks. Finished a major project this morning that's been sucking up every minute of my time and energy when I'm not in the office. I had an old friend (we've been social distancing and so has she) stay with us for a week - she's not in good health and required the rest of my energy to try to help her. Big lesson in WHY we need to keep our bodies strong. We've had my hubby's kids with us pretty much non-stop the whole quarantine - this isn't easy on a 42 that's never had children in the house. I'm not very domesticated so figuring out quick meals took some doing. Bought new batteries for my scale today and ready to get back to daily weigh ins. I'm focusing on doing a few things for me this month - can't pour from an empty cup. I will have my goals for the month lined out by Monday. This wknd is the first time we've had alone in since this mess started March 15th - I'm not going to worry too much about it and simply enjoy the quiet time with my husband. Steaks on the grill & cocktails is on the menu tonight.
5/6 - 145.2 - Put new batteries in the scale this morning and weighed for the first time in a WHILE! Nothing like weighing in after celebrating Cinco de Mayo all day yesterday....but gotta start somewhere! Rode for a few hours and did well on calories but not nutritionally.
5/7 - 143.0 - took the evening off for an 'at-home' date night.
5/8 - 144.5 - chocolate cake & wine last night and it's showing this morning.... weekend is almost here and I'll get in 23432342343 steps and sunshine.
5/12 - 144.6 - Too many carbs last night...My mother-in-law is going to be in charge of dinner for a couple of weeks and she's a phenomenal cook, but it's going to be lots of mexican food. I'm just going to concentrate on portion control. On the upside - no workout, but I hauled 50lbs grain sacks and moved hay bales. My hubby is laid up for a bit so I'm riding his horses as well as mine. Rode for 3-1/2 hours. I have no idea what that burns, I don't feel like the burn on here is right - I don't think I use that much actually riding so I'm not logging it.
5/14 - I swear I feel so fluffy right now, eating way more carbs in the evening than I'm used to isn't the greatest - but I'm not in charge of meals and that's fabulous. Worked at the barn for 3 hours last night riding... I've got to get 4 worked this evening and I'm just so tired. At least tomorrow is Friday and my husband is getting around a little bit better daily. I'm betting by next weekend he'll be more back to normal...hopefully.
5/18 - 143.0 Really busy weekend, but at least my husband is getting around a bit better so I'm hoping he'll be able to help with the horses after this week. I'm not doing great nutritionally but I'll be back in charge of food pretty soon so I'm just going to roll with it for now. I need to get back to at least daily pushups, I don't think I've lost too much yet - but my summer goal is to tone my arms up. Did great with eating until.............nachos & a stiff drink on the patio with hubby about 9:30 when I got finished at the barn. *facepalm*
5/19 - 143.2 - did great with food, until I got home and my mother-in-law had a fabulous meal...but then I worked at the barn for a few hours.
5/20 - 142.6 - First time I've seen a 2 in a while, I'll take it! - Decent day with exercise & food
5/21 - 143.4

5/21: 162.2 UGH! So frustrating. I had such a good day yesterday- I was active, I ate well, I drank water... and I gained 1.2lbs. I know it’s about the average and not about each day’s weight, but this was not fun to see this morning. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be down!3 -

1. Log food everyday.
2. Walk 1h 5x week.

4. Do a stretching session each week.
5. Going back to work on the 11th after 8 weeks at home: try not to stress and enjoy our “new life”.
9/05: 69.7kg
Logged everyday and worked out twice, but only walked twice this week. I’ll try to go walking and do my stretch session this weekend. I’m going back to a small deficit this week: diet break is over.
15/05: 69.7kg
I’ve been stuck at the same weight for 2 weeks: last week I was eating at maintenance but this week was back to a small deficit. I hoped to lose something 🤦🏻♀️ I’ve worked out, logged cal, but I just went for a walk twice this week, instead of everyday like I used to. I know what I have to do...
22/05: 69.7kg
3 weeks at the exact same weight. I was afraid I would have gained a bit: I didn’t log on Sunday, didn’t work out... it was my first week back to work after lockdown is over and I didn’t have much time. A bit stressedout too.
I’m not happy, but I know I have to increase my “calories out”. 3 weeks at the same weight! 😩

Frankly, I was that close to give up all together. Not logging, not worrying about food, about exercise, about coming here to vent it all. I'm really struggling.
But although I didn't weigh, I still filled in my foodlog which did nothing to cheer me up, but certainly made me think about what I put in my mouth and most importantly: how much !!
I also didn't exercise at all, just being lazy, either working or reading a very good series of books (I'm at book 5 of 12 - go figure). I also watched the complete Harry Potter series with hubby.
Anyway, today is as high as I want to go, this is it, I just can't gain any more as my clothes will start to feel tight.
Today is a new day, a new opportunity. But I also know that I've started many Mondays that way the past weeks, so I really need to change my gameplan. I'll give this a thought today.4 -
ME:
30y * 5'9" * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)
MAY GOALS- Get back into some workout routine
- New focus on glute workout
- Do better on IF again (fix coffee in the morning)
- Make more "binge-volume-eating"-safe food
MEASUREMENTS
I don't dare to. I really don't. But okay, I went and just did it, here they are compared to my lowest weight at the end of last year (sigh):
Waist: 76cm (<> 74cm)
Belly: 92cm (<> 90cm)
Thigh: 59cm (<> 56cm)
Hips: 100cm (<> 98cm)
So overall, a gain of 2cm (.8") everywhere. I can see it, I can feel it. I hate it.
WEIGHT - 7 day averages
04 May: 69.1kg
11 May: 68.8kg
19 May: 67.6kg
25 May: 68 kg
Okay, not sure what happend there; I shot up back to 69 even for one day and have to log with a gain unfortunately. I admit Friday was a debauchery (always seems to be the case when I go over to my bf: he just feeds me everything) but Saturday I compensated with no dinner and Sunday I was way below my budget. I have not been able to exercise all week because of a back injury, so maybe that's the cause? Still, bit unhappy

My step count doubled this week. My runs are better and I’m feeling better. I still haven’t managed to start strength training again. The kids’ school is winding down though, so I’m also feeling like I’ll have more time and energy for it.
Have a great week everyone!5 -
35yo, 166 cm
Maintenance weight range= 52-54 kg
CW= 53.5 (as of 5/3/20)
BF%= 20-22
Goals for May: [week 5/18-24]
- Follow through the workout plan ✅
- Decrease sugar intake ⭕️ (sweet craving kind of calm down when TOM ended 😇)
- Increase protein especially during breakfast ✅
- Devote time in stretch/yoga sessions ⭕️ (three short sessions after main workouts)
It’s the end of 5th week/ beginning of 2nd month of the workout plan. I can see a little bit muscle definition on abs without flexing really hard, but the loose skin from pregnancy isn’t something that’d go away that easily for sure.
Tendinitis on right wrist flared up again and I had to cut down the frequency I use dumbbells. Strength training days for total body were mostly replaced with resistance training for core and glutes. Hopefully I can resume the normal intensity/ weights starting from today.
It’s interesting how our bodies react to things done daily/ repeatedly. I feel like the less sweets I have the less I’m craving for it, and the more frequently I exercise (frequency per week) the less tired I feel. Maybe because my weekly schedule is different now (haven’t gone back to work yet). We’ll see how that part goes on work days and the days afterwards. 🤔3 -

May - wow! I've been snowed under the last 2 wks. Finished a major project this morning that's been sucking up every minute of my time and energy when I'm not in the office. I had an old friend (we've been social distancing and so has she) stay with us for a week - she's not in good health and required the rest of my energy to try to help her. Big lesson in WHY we need to keep our bodies strong. We've had my hubby's kids with us pretty much non-stop the whole quarantine - this isn't easy on a 42 that's never had children in the house. I'm not very domesticated so figuring out quick meals took some doing. Bought new batteries for my scale today and ready to get back to daily weigh ins. I'm focusing on doing a few things for me this month - can't pour from an empty cup. I will have my goals for the month lined out by Monday. This wknd is the first time we've had alone in since this mess started March 15th - I'm not going to worry too much about it and simply enjoy the quiet time with my husband. Steaks on the grill & cocktails is on the menu tonight.

5/12 - 144.6 - Too many carbs last night...My mother-in-law is going to be in charge of dinner for a couple of weeks and she's a phenomenal cook, but it's going to be lots of mexican food. I'm just going to concentrate on portion control. On the upside - no workout, but I hauled 50lbs grain sacks and moved hay bales.

I'm not doing great nutritionally but I'll be back in charge of food pretty soon so I'm just going to roll with it for now. I need to get back to at least daily pushups, I don't think I've lost too much yet - but my summer goal is to tone my arms up. Did great with eating until.............nachos & a stiff drink on the patio with hubby about 9:30 when I got finished at the barn. *facepalm*
5/19 - 143.2 - did great with food, until I got home and my mother-in-law had a fabulous meal...but then I worked at the barn for a few hours.

5/21 - 143.4
5/26 - 142.8 - it was fabulous to have 4 days off work. We generally ate 1-2x a day... I walked/rode ALOT. And then there were hamburgers/brownies and beer... So I'm good with the number today. Going to make a concentrated effort this week.
I think the important thing is to keep logging, even when it sucks and we can't find the motivation. Just don't stop.5 -

Been super busy with everything, I haven't had a chance to check in at all!!
I have been good with eating and working out. I have been walking, running, doing whatever I can. OTF opened but the time slots are all booked and my time slot is not offered! So not going back. Need my rower... still waiting.
Anyhow, my clothes still fits and looking at myself in the mirror, I haven't changed much so I should be in the same 110 area. Will log tomorrow!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!! it's 88 outside! Incredible. (but Im in the basement working away-
