Hi there! I just found the forum & joined. I've gained weight steadily for the past few years due to stress: grieving, brutal boss, pneumonia, infections. Now that I'm healthy, and so over this pandemic, I've been focusing on me & eating healthy, working out, and getting my steps in, while throwing in some WFH.

CW: 160 which I never am.
2017 was 144 and fit into my clothes well. My goal is to wear my white jeans again!
Doing Chalene Extreme heavy weights program 3x / week, 2 intense cardio days, and aiming for 10,000 steps a day. 1200 calories with MyFitnessPal app and using Fitbit. I measure myself using the Progress app on Fridays. The past 2 weeks, there were no changes in my weight or measurements, which was frustrating, but I'm sticking with it.
4 weeks to feel a difference, 8 weeks to see a difference, 12 weeks for everybody else. )4 -
@SummerSkier , @cayenne_007 and @guitargirl55 : it is Monday today, THE day to get back on track, so get on with it !

June GW: get back to 70
1. Get my snacking under control. I'm good with my three meals, but it is the inbetween and evening snacks that undo everything
2. My June goal is exactly the same as the April and May goal, I'll keep on reporting here on a daily basis until I get to 70 again - sorry for the spamming ladies.
3. Hopefully, we will get back to diving again somewhere this month. I already said this last month, so fingers crossed. The good news is that today I'm not only at the office, but I used my bike to come here !

13/06: 73.3
14/06: 73.4 - feels like I'm growing something inside me - and NOOOO I'm not pregnant
15/06: 73.0 - that's better !
So, Monday again. I'm back to an almost normal work routine and the social and physical activities are also gaining momentum. I've clocked more than 100.000 steps and 160km biking last week, and I will be adding some diving as from Thursday. If I can keep my cals in check, the only way is down (the scale of course). The only factor that might interfere with all the plans is the weather as we are facing some heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Fingers crossed ! xxx
As for the weight: I realise I probably stayed "on track" for a long time but meanwhile just losing muscle mass. Now that I'm superactive again, I'm probably gaining a bit back, hence the spike up.5 -

1. Stay under my cal goal every week.
2. Walk 1h 3 times/week.
3. Eat fruit everyday.
4. Spend 30 min everyday doing something for myself (exercise, reading,...).
I’m back to working, so I have less time to workout and go on long walks. My goal this month is to get used to my schedule and take time everyday to take care of myself: right now my day is split between my job and taking care of my 8 months old daughter once I get home. I want 30-60 min everyday for myself 💪🏼
15/06: 69.6kg
This is last friday weight: I didn’t log for 3 days, I had snacks in the evening while watching TV... I did not meet any of my goals 😳 Had been logging since February and avoiding evening snacks for weeks. I did 4 workouts but only went walking once.
I’m back to logging and walking and being motivated! 💪🏼 One bad week cannot define my journey!

The weekend was, as expected, very loaded with foods, thankfully I did cut back on the alcohol and so I think it wasn't as bad as last time. Still, June 14 & 15 were noticeable. My workout goal was a failure though I did go for a long walk almost everyday.
Yesterday the week was off to a good start with a surfing session during lunch break, but I did have 2 glasses of wine in the evening, oops.4 -

6/2 - 143.6 - how is it June? My life has been a madhouse, but hubby is recovered and we're off to WY tomorrow for a few days with 4 horses (and kids) for a sale this wknd. Sunday I'm going to take a great big sigh and be ready for some normalcy. The good news is I've maintained, the bad news - I've been chowing down nightly on enchiladas & dos equis.
6/10 - 142.6 - I took a week off, we were traveling quite a bit. I was pleasantly surprised with the scale this morning. I did pack lots of oranges, apples, etc instead of having junk food in the car. I think it helped.
6/11-142.2- Ave 142.6 - Did well with food and exercise yesterday.
6/12 - 143.0/142.6 - epic failure on sweets yesterday..inhaled an entire bag of crispy brownie bites - the whole thing.
Starting fresh today.
6/16 - 145.6/144.4 - I did pretty well over the wknd, kept things in bounds and worked outdoors all day Sat. Actually took Sunday to rest up a bit - church and then a lunch date with my hubby at a fabulous restaurant followed by riding out in the country for an hour. So nice to have a day to 'reset'. Yesterday - ugh - I let him and my stepdaughter talk me into meeting them for a big greasy hamburger & fries for lunch - after I'd stopped for a breakfast burrito and then my MIL cooked dinner for us or I would've at least skipped dinner.... I still feel like my hands are swollen today and it was an immediate 2lbs jump. Skipped breakfast this morning and have a protein bar for lunch.
I think many of us struggle with making choices to eat healthy when our SO eats whatever... Hubby and I had a long talk last night, his allergies have been out of control and he's decided he does feel better when there's no junk around - mind-blowing discovery - right? He wants to try to make an effort to eat better so I'm pretty excited about it.5 -
Hey ladies,
I've just discovered this group!
My June goal is to lose a minimum of 3lbs. I've lost 10.5lbs over the past 2 months and this week was my first gain in this time (+2.5lbs). Last week I lost 3lbs but I think I was pretty much starving for 3 days and dehydrated so I knew this week I'd be a bit heavier but I've definitely over-indulged.
03/06: -3lbs
10/06: +2.5lbs
17/06: - 1.5lbs
I'm:
25
5"5
CW: 142lbs
GW: 133lbs
I run twice a week, do two bootcamp/circuit sessions and two 'other' (either long walks or tennis) a week and I want to make the most of this lockdown/WFH time to make a big change before life opens back up and it's harder to have this much control over my life.
Hopefully this group helps keep me accountable!
Not got my gain from last week fully off yet but I'm pleased with this week, I was under my net calories every day bar 1 and I had enough of a deficit from the other 6 days to counter-balance that 1 day.
Do you guys eat back the calories you burn from exercise?2 -

I mean I can be "on the wagon" for weeks and weeks and slowly drop maybe a pound or two and in happy scale avg is slower. But then I have just one bad day or two and BOOM the scale pops right back up those pounds and maybe even more?!!! I mean WTF?!!!! And it's not like everyone says that it slides back off again in 2 days of being back on track. Well not for me. It takes weeks and weeks to recover again. And it's not like I ate 7000 extra cals or a lot of salt either.
*****WAH****** can I have a pity party please???
This has been my struggle for over a week! I reached a new LW (135 lbs) and the next day I was back up 3.5 lbs. I know it’s just water retention but I feel so frustrated. I’m hanging in there. There’s still 2 weeks left in this challenge!3 -

Hey I'm Leah, and I need your help.. please what do you think about https://gastod.com/customketodiet/.... I keep reading reviews about it but I cant make up my mind because of the price... I would really love your opinion
Hi Leah, I’m not going to click on the link, but it says keto and you say it’s expensive, so don’t do it. Just log all your calories and exercise here and see how it goes. The worst that can happen is that you still have your money in your pocket. And at best, you’ll also have lost some weight.
