Hi all, guess I'm late to the party!
PW. 132
CW. 132.8
Here is my weigh in. Back up I go. I am a perpetual yo-yo at this point! I have got to break this plateau. 🤨1 -
Whoa, this went better than expected! I finally stopped procrastinating and texted my personal trainer about scheduling our first post-lockdown appointment. He had a suitable slot open tomorrow, so I get to see him for the first time in a while and get a killer leg workout in! I’m excited, it’s fun to train with him and we’re kinda friends too (I’ve trained with him for almost 5 years and we’re almost the same age).3

Irony... For weeks half the members could not access the thread and I was just fine. Now I cannot access from the app 😡
This has been going on for over a week. It’s getting a bit annoying. But there are work arounds... right?1 -
I'm surprised, I would have thought I'd have worse DOMS today. Maybe it will kick in later... My weight is still way up, but at least my scale thinks my body fat percentage is coming down (0.4% since beginning of last week). Still hoping for that whooosh.
Definitely kicked in later. I can’t straighten my arms all the way to straight without feeling extreme stretching. Putting on a bra was a major struggle.
Also, still no whoosh. If it doesn’t happen this week / early next week after Flo leaves town and I have a few days of good deficit and lower-sodium diet, I’ll just have to accept that I somehow gained 2lbs back. There’s only one course of action, no matter what the reason for this weight is: consistent deficit and improvement.
I’m excited to meet with my trainer today! I’ll be a pile of pulp after this workout since we’re doing legs and my arms are already pulp, but it’s a good thing.1 -
@Beka3695 where could I even access the thread from the app? I’ve never been able to use community from the app, I think it’s a localization thing and not available in Europe or something. There are some other features like the challenges that I don’t think are available here. The notifications in app haven’t been working since Christmas or something either, and it makes me a bad friend.0

My notifications only worked for about 3 months in 2019. I had a friend argue with me about them - I didn’t even have the bell. I had to send him screen shots showing. Now they just don’t work again.
I’m in the SE USA, my friend was in the NE USA and we were both on I phones. He had Verizon and I had AT&T. That was the only difference we found.
I’m talking about the home screen notifications. The ones in the communities works for me.0 -
From my iPad I can't access "community" - but I can enter my food, weight etc. Which is why I sometimes disappear for a few days as I don't always sit down by the desktop. I don't even bother with my phone.
6:07 AM and I need to get dressed. Riding my bike to work this morning. 23 miles, it'll take me about 1:45. It's only 55 degrees this morning hallelujah this is gonna be great!2 -

we have been without power all week. No excuses at all but I certainly took the easy way out when it came to feeding my family and myself and my gain just reiterate the poor choices made 🤷🏼♀️

Sorry to hear about the power. A week is a really long time. Hope it’s fixed soon. Definitely makes it difficult to eat well.

First week over week gain since March, very, very discouraging. Its my TOM, so maybe its water retention, but I suspect it is in combination with my progress generally slowing. I need to do some serious thinking about what's going wrong. This puts me off track toward my goal if onederland this month.2 -

Hi, may I please change my weekly weigh-in to Saturday as it’s my cheat day, in terms of food and having a beer or a glass of wine as a reward for myself
This Saturday’s weigh-in, in lbs as requested
PW: 130.5lbs (3 August)
CW: 128.8lbs (8 August)
LTD: 4.4 lbs
Also got myself a new weighing machine which gives you fat percentage and water percentage and BMI readings.
It’s really helping a lot
I am nearly 2 percent above normal fat levels, hope to reduce that back to normal levels soon
Need to increase my muscle mass as well, I can’t wait to hit the gym for weight training
Hope to touch 125 lbs by next Saturday, may not be possible as my dad and hubby’s birthday is next week, so I will have to stronger during the week with what I eat...

@KelGen02 and @carriestrine looks like we’re in the same gain/bloat boat, let’s kick things into gear together next week!
I’m hoping to get a good day of calorie-burning cardio in today. My arms and shoulders are still super sore from the acrobatics on Wednesday, and now my butt and legs are also sore from my gym workout yesterday. I definitely need to stick to better food choices next week so I can regain momentum while getting used to new workouts.
I had a good meeting with my trainer yesterday. We’re meeting again next week and going over my new training program. He’s simplifying it and gearing it towards helping with the acrobatics, so it’s more motivational.1 -

And....here's the frustrating thing about biking. No matter how many miles I go or how long I pedal, I NEVER lose weight. My garmin can claim I've burned 4,000 calories, but the scale will be up 2 pounds. On Wednesday I was 206 which was my goal for the week. I hadn't biked in 6 days. The past two days I put in 46 miles, my eating has been within range, and I'm up to 207.4. Last year I biked 300 miles in 5 days, ate normal, gained 5 pounds. Muscle gain....water retention....blah blah blah it's still frustrating. And yet....I love being on that bike so much that there's no way I'll give it up. So....slow and steady has been my motto this year for weight loss, that's what I'll stick to, and I'll celebrate the progress I've made.
