    My goal for January is to lose 3% body fat...I typically only measure once a month, but measuring weekly would be a great incentive to stay on track...so I'm in!!!

    Baseline was 30.65%
    Week 1 = 31.36%

    My measurements are actually the same or down, which makes me happy, but my weight is up because it's THAT time of the month, so I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and see what week 2 holds because I feel like the scale is not an accurate reflection at this time and based on the input to the online calculator, the scale being up is pushing the calculation up even though the measurements are smaller. By Friday all that extra water weight should be gone, so I should be able to get something more REAL...and hopefully in the right direction.

    HW 242.8
    SW 233 (July 13, 2020)
    GW 137

    Ended DECEMBER 2020 challenge at 175.0 (12/31/20)

    JANUARY 2021

    Sunday 01/03 174.8 -0.2 lbs
    Sunday 01/10 172.8 -2.0 lbs
    Sunday 01/17 170.6 -2.2 lbs
    Sunday 01/24

    *Goals for the month: New year, same me! And I’m ok with that because I like who I became in 2020. I like the new life habits I formed. They’re working. This is the year I finally reach my ultimate goals! I stuck to MY Holiday food menus. However, I ate more than I should have, did not exercise as much as I usually do and did not stick to my extended fasting plan for the last half of the month. I did not reach my weight goal of being in the 160’s. And I’m ok with that too. I thoroughly enjoyed the holidays with my family! I’m getting back into my walking (weather permitting) and extended fasting routines. This month will be weekly 72 hr extended fasts with remaining days of OMAD. If I feel like going longer than 72, than I will go where it takes me.

    Happy New Year! Good luck with your January goals!

    I thought I posted week 2 last Friday, but now I can't find it...

    My goal for January is to lose 3% body fat...I typically only measure once a month, but measuring weekly would be a great incentive to stay on track...so I'm in!!!

    Baseline was 30.65%
    Week 1 = 31.36%
    Week 2 = 30.65%

    My measurements are actually the same or down, which makes me happy, and my weight is down about a pound, which is cool, but it's not enough of a change to show up on the calculator, which is fine...I'm starting to remember why I normally only measure once a month...the changes are miniscule from week to week.

    I was very good for week 2...I was eating on plan, increased the glute weights and totally rocked them...hoping to keep it going in Week 3!

    Started working out pretty hard again this past week. And while it seems to be amazing on a ketone level (hit 2.3 on a blood ketone meter the other day), absolutely nothing seems to be happening on the scale. Actually saw a pretty big gain for the first couple days! I don’t know if my muscles are retaining more fluids (or other physio science I don’t understand), but it is frustrating. I cannot seem to get that scale to move since Christmas! Hoping for a good woosh here soon!

    Completed my workout program 5 of 7 days this week. Wasn’t as good with my diet. Maybe this week, I can be disciplined in both diet and exercise. Would like to finish out this month with the needle on my scale moving in the right direction.
