@AlexandraFindsHerself losts of nice gems in your post on Tuesday.
@topathemorning hope the traveling is going well
@girlinkaz sorry you injured your knee. Glad you are able to swim instead. It is really food that is the major part of weight loss. Exercise is for health. Work on your relationship with food to lose. Work on your relationship to exercise for getting fit. This isn’t about being perfect.
@ahowell36 when the YMCA closed and I couldn’t get my regular exercise (Aquafit) I came up with a strength training routine for myself at home. I had some 5 lb weights but there are body weight exercises. I would do them in my back yard on nice days. When I went back to work I do them in my home office since I work remotely. I looked up desk exercises. I had similar issues when I had younger kids but wished I kept finding ways around the exercise challenges. So good goal for the month. There are so many ways to get exercise. Yes maybe too many options but keep trying until you find the one you like the best. It doesn’t have to be perfect.
@azalea4175 great progress.
@girlinkaz I hope you find some clothes that fit and look nice.
@CariTJR I am playing around with the 5:2 concept but I actually seem to lose on the weekends when we have nice later brunches and then a good dinner. However our break from dieting is Friday breakfasts and 1 take out a week. I sometimes have an alcoholic drink on the weekends if there is something to celebrate. It isn’t worth the calories otherwise. I love wine but I am allergic to sulfites in it so only have it with a really nice dinner. I am doing the 5:2 more with other things now that I am back to work. I track water, flights of stairs, steps, exercise minutes, and even time of breakfast since I am trying to eat it later when I am really hungry for it. On the weekends I look over the week. I really hope you find a nice home. It seems that everything we need right now that like is getting closer to normal is harder to get. We will be starting to go back to in-person work soon. We have 3 adults and only 1 car. We used to commute together but now I have a new job. We need another car but they are in short supply and more expensive now.
@kelMee Congratulations on making it to Onderland!
@finngirl61 I am sorry to hear how hard it is right now for you. I will need knee surgery some day too. I keep thinking I will lose weight and go in to try and get it and they will say I need to lose more. 1st 7 pounds in 2 months is great. I can’t make headway now either. I am not giving up. I keep going from 256 to 258. Maybe maintenance is what you should try for now that you are dealing with so many other things in your life. This is about your health. Be good to your self. Focus on self care. Let’s keep trying together.
@uyister Glad you got through the side effects with the 2nd shot. Hope you are settled in soon.
My computer went off on me before I could send this but I was able to recover it. I put my replies to your posts in a word doc then copy them here so they were autosaved.7 -
Well this week I did get on here to post during the work week a few times. I was doing well at the beginning of the week. However we celebrated a bit yesterday. I have completed my 6 month probationary period at my job and my boss was finally able to get to my personnel review. It was glowing. I am at the top of my pay scale so no raise but I will get the increase in a lump sum payment. You get a raise percentage based on your score on your personnel review. So I am just glad to get past the probationary period and to get a good evaluation. If they don't extend my contract I won't have another one. It doesn't depend on performance but on whether I am needed for the project. On top of that I just wasn't up for exercising yesterday. We had a City wide employee meet up online. I also didn't fit in my strength training this week. Partly because it was so nice I walked all the other days. Fortunately my husband I are up for a walk today. I don't schedule exercise on the weekends yet but I am always glad when we do get some. This should make up for missing one on Friday.
I usually look over my spreadsheet on Saturday mornings after brunch but I have the weekly totals ending on Sunday. I decided that didn't make sense for evaluation the latest week so I put in weekly totals ending on Friday too so that I can see better what is going on. Duh. I have been working 6 months and only now adjust this. I think another distraction the end of the week is really how things are improving with the pandemic. I was reading an article about using this time to make a restart to our lives. It suggested listing out what you missed pre-pandemic, what you didn't miss about pre-pandemic, Then list what you liked about life during the pandemic and what you didn't like. Then make a list of things to leave behind in the post pandemic life and what things to keep using the lists. I did this but haven't really evaluated it yet.7 -
@kelMee2 congrats on reaching Onederland! That’s great! 🎉👏🏻👏🏻3

GW for Feb 10th 2022 – 199 lbs
UGW – 175 lbs / approx. 25% body fat (then re-evaluate)
Weekly NSV's/Goals (4/30-5/07):
65 oz water per day
Increase NEAT (1 hour per day, 7 days per week)
30 min cardio/strength building every other day (4x's per week)
(05/14) I'm not sure how I did it but I lost 1.4 lbs this last week (my weekly average was, expectedly, considerably different and only showed a -0.1loss) – even with my Mother's Day weekend extravaganza and only 1 (out of 4) cardio/strength training 30-min sessions! I am hopeful that I will be able to reach my monthly goal weight. I have been meeting my NEAT goal though and that actually works out to an additional 7 hours of activity per week that I am not logging. It's making a difference. I definitely still want to get back on track with my 30 min cardio/strength training sessions though.
65 oz water per day (7 out of 7)
Increase NEAT (5 minutes increased activity every hour/12 hours per day – ie moving, stair climbing etc) (7out of 7)
30 min cardio/strength building every other day (0 out of 4)3 -
This past week has been hectic since my 7 month old is teething and going through a sleep regression. She also doesn’t take a bottle or a pacifier so I’m bread around the clock!
SW-231
May 1st- 219.6
CW- 215.2
I officially hit my May goal of trying to hit 215 so let’s see if I can get lower by the end of this month. I am down some since last week but I’ve decided to switch up my workout routine. I’ve decided to use my Peloton again since I’ve lost some weight and it actually feels more comfortable. I’m going to shoot for using it at least 3-4 times a week and limit myself to one cheat Meal instead of a whole cheat day. My sister was the one who talked me into getting a spin bike since she uses one and it helped her lose all her baby weight. She looks amazing after having three kids. I can’t wait to never see the two hundreds again!7 -
I weighed in on Wednesday and gained weight. 🙄 My dad was in the hospital and now is out and has a million appointments. His house is also a complete mess as well as his finances so there is a lot to do and a lot of eating on the run. I need to make better decisions when I can and not use stress as an excuse to eat a bunch of junk food. I don't want to lose my progress. Here's to making better decisions and finding other ways to deal with stress. 😅11

I had a difficult week dealing with a lot of hip pain that brought me down mentally. I also did not move as much as I usually do and my steps suffered. I am feeling a bit better this morning so am hopeful that I will be more active this week. My goal is to try and get in some time on my cycle bike and to continue my new water consumption of 140+oz./ day.
Thanks @uyister for your insight and help this week. It is good to be fully vaccinated.. I hope your arm feels better soon!
@kelMee2 You are doing a great job and Happy Underland!
@Katebook309yahoocom940 I am sorry to hear about your dad and all that you are dealing with just now. It is very difficult physically, mentally and emotionally to take care of a parent or loved one. Please be kind to yourself and just do the best you can.
I am so grateful for this group! Have a great week, everyone.9 -

It's been a good week. I've been getting my workouts in, getting in my steps and continue to monitor my glucose levels. My meds that I am on for diabetes do play a part in my weightloss. But I am working my tush off to make positive changes. Some days are easier than others. But ultimately I am proud of all my effort and progress so far.
@Laughter_Girl @kelMee2 Congratulations to you both for being in Onederland!
@finngirl61 I am sorry to hear you are struggling. Your loss is great. Remember everyone progresses at their own pace. My motivation really is my daughter. If I don't get my life in control then I risk not being here for her as she grows up. That thought terrifies me. Everyone's journey is different so I don't know if my techniques would work for you but I will share them. Things that I found extremely helpful are
- Invest in a food scale. I measure out everything I eat. It is time consuming and a PIA at times but it helps me to get an accurate count on exactly what I am eating. I use the recipe creator, in conjunction with the food scale, to enter the recipes I make as well. For me this makes a difference.
- Put the scale away. I have found that I become obsessed with it and step on it often. The ups and downs would drive me nuts and send me spiraling. To combat that, I pick one day of the week and set that day as my weigh in day.
- Focus on non scale victories. These NSVs can be anything such as saying no to a poor choice food, not stress/ comfort eat, giving myself a goal and achieving it, noticing something I can do now that I couldn't do when I first started my journey, clothes fitting differently and so on. I feel these are especially important when the scale disappoints you. I focus on those NSV and remember that I am making a difference every day even if the scale is not reflecting it.
- Monthly measurements and progress pictures. I try to do these the first of every month. I track my measurements on MFP. My pictures I put in a folder on my computer just for me. When I save the photos, I put what month (March, month 1) it is and my weight in the description. I have not done it yet, this time around, but my plan is once I get a few months of pictures I will make a collage so I can visually compare my progress.
@BethCW2963 Congratulations. You are doing such a grea job!
@SammiGirl1321 You amaze me!!! When I had my daughter I struggled to find time to do anything. I am in awe of you! Teething and sleep regression is the worst. I hope it passes quickly!
@Katebook309yahoocom940 I hope your dad is on the mend.6 -
Love the recognition of the Non Scale Victories too (NSV)
@spotteddingo sorry to hear about the hip pain, I hope you get some relief soon
@katiebook309 sounds like a really challenging time with everything with your dad
@SammiGirl1321 with all the joys of parenting a wee baby so great you are also focusing on you too.
@finnigirl61 we are all here for you and loved@ JNettie73 post above to you such wisdom
@Sarahelton87 you know I have told you this so many times but super proud of you and so grateful we are doing this together, you are beautiful inside and out

Hey all!
Age: 33
Height: 5'11"
SW this month: 200lb
GW this month: 196lb
I have gained roughly 25lbs in the past year, so I want to recalibrate my habits in order to get to a healthier weight for my frame and height. I've been reading the book Target 100 and have implemented a couple of the habits from there, but still have more work to do. One step at a time! We got this! Go team go!

Me please.
Lost 3st 7lbs 4oz.
Current weight is 18st 2lb and would like to get close or hit 17 1/2 stone.8 -
@BethCW2963 you are doing well this month already. Great job with the NEAT goal. I think it is more important than we think.
@Katebook309 I am sorry to hear about your Dad. It is hard but take care of yourself. I feel fortunate that I there are 3 of us to share helping our Mom. We have had to take over her finances. We are looking into getting more help for her now to help sort Drs appointments and medications.
@Spotteddingo Sorry about the hip pain. Hope you start to feel better soon.
@sarahelton87 glad to hear things are going so well.
@JNettie73 great job at making progress despite a few challenges.
Well I am back down today but shouldn't be. We went for a lovely longish walk yesterday but on the way back were hungry and got lunch. It was a perfect day for my yearly rootbeer float. However I made a yummy healthy dinner: lamb souvlaki, asparagus, and red lentil soup. I also took one potato and cut it in 4 wedges and roasted it with some of the souvlaki marinade on it so for the 3 of us we only had a quarter of a potato. I really need a good week starting with today. My youngest plans to make Sunday dinners from now on. That will help. They will be busy starting next week with computer coding boot camp during the work week. I need to do some meal planning soon for the week ahead. I want to concentrate on sleep, water intake, daily walks, 1 strength training day, and lower calories. Hope to check in here soon.

Missed my evening pill. Yep, overate. (sigh) The two are connected. But it is bedtime so I will go to bed, and tomorrow is another day.5

@AlexandraFindsHerself1971
WOW you have lost 48.8 lbs over COVID! That is exceptional!! You are truly inspiring. Do you have any tips for the rest of us?
I think part of it was that I was in a situation where I had no control over a lot of things so I was controlling the heck out of the one thing I did have control over.
This is a slow process not a sprint. And it is about the journey, not the destination. You're never going to eat the way you used to, not even when you reach maintenance; grieve that and let it go. Food can still be tasty and fun, just not the only fun and comfort in your life.
As the weight comes off psychological stuff will come up, be prepared for it and maybe even have someone to talk to about it. You're working against ingrained habits and maybe even triggers and deep childhood comforts, so it will be hard and you will have times you eat over calorie or eat things that make you feel bad. Forgive yourself, limit the damage as best you can, and tomorrow is another day.
If you don't have it in the house you can't eat it.
Distraction does work sometimes; get involved in something that takes both hands at hours that you are munchy so that you can't eat while you're doing it, or take a gentle walk, or something like that.
You don't have to do it the same way that everyone else does; you don't have to do keto or IF or gluten-free or sugar-free or vegetarian if that's not what you want to do. I lost this weight eating Fritos and mini candy bars every day. For that matter, you don't have to exercise if you don't want to or don't feel you can. I will say that once I lost this weight I found myself more willing to move and move more, because it didn't hurt and wear me out. I am not, however, going to put running at the center of my life or something like that, and you don't have to either if you don't want to. I like to do the weight machines at the gym, and I don't hate the stationary bike at home.
I've found it interesting to find the body underneath the fat, which has come with some surprises (I will probably get a breast reduction when all is said and done). I'm currently wearing a size I haven't worn since I was a teenager, and I have a size 12 as my goal size, because that's more or less the top of the straight sizes, and any skin removal/reductions will take me down further.
That is great advice! And I truly need it today!!

Finish May 31:
May goals:
- drink 100oz of water a day
- stick to a 16:8 IF schedule (during the weekdays)
The last couple of days have been super crazy. I'm not sure why but crazy life and my scale deciding to go on the Fritz really have messed up my plans. I stopped tracking, stopped drinking as much water, and started eating before 11am.
Today is a new day and although we have spinach dip in the fridge I will not eat before 11 and I'll drink my 100oz today!!
So new goal today, track before I eat to buy a box of tea I really really want. It's nothing special but it's a holiday mix that I want (my current box is almost out).
Yep scale is 💯%on the Fritz. It just told me 230.4, 226.8 and 225.6 I have no idea what to record for my weight. I guess this week is a question mark.5 -

Look on Amazon - they have fabric replacement bands. Paint the back of the face (if it touches your skin) with clear nail polish to keep from skin contact!!
It is the back of the face of the watch that was where I had my rash not the wrist band
Paint the back of the face with clear nail polish, it will prevent the skin contact and should help keep a rash away. Some of the fabric bands will go behind the face so it is completely covered. You will not get a heart rate that way, I believe.3 -
I disappeared half way through April because I ended up getting covid My whole household got it. Fortunately, none of us felt too, too sick. Unfortunately, I kept my full sense of taste and smell and ate to comfort myself. Plus, we were eating a lot of convenient/easy/snacky food and my MIL continuously dropped off baking for us. We're all feeling better and have been back to regular life for a few weeks now but my eating didn't get much better. Because of that, I'm starting to not feel well in all sorts of other ways. Bloated, sluggish, and (of course) disappointed in myself. SOOOO I'm back at it today. No more excuses. Which I feel like I've said a million times before but oh well. So long as I make some progress each time, that's ok.
I've read through the whole thread this morning and so many of you really are having a marvelous May! Great job! It's so motivating to read your posts. It really helps to light a fire under my butt I'm not sure if I'll do a weigh-in on Friday or if I'll just focus on tracking for the rest of the month and start back with my weigh-ins in June. 13 -
@tiffdaski glad you and your family are on the mend. That feeling right before you have gotten rid of the sluggishness and bloating feeling is so hard. Progress is such a big part of all the things that you do in this journey including pressing the reset button as you have. Totally up to you of course when you weigh in but even if you kept your own record and didn't post it you probably feel great seeing it go down.
So glad you shared You are not alone

Weighed in a day late this week because we were out camping for the weekend. I was happy to see that my camping indulgences (S'Mores and more alcohol than usual) did not completely derail me.
I also appreciated all of the support last week when I was frustrated about not seeing movement on the scale. I went back over my food logs and found that I was relying on deli meat for lunch which was driving my sodium level up. Changing up my diet and increasing water intake seemed to take off the excess water weight I think I was carrying.

@tiffdaski Glad you and your family are feeling better. Don't be too hard on yourself sometimes life throws a spanner in the works but the fact you're trying to get back on track shows you're determined, you can do this.5

That's great awareness, that you were able to pinpoint an item in your diet causing you issues. "Healthy" foods that aren't quite so healthy! glad you are making progress, and I am going to remember this when I seem stuck. thanks for sharing!6 -
Well. I was at a wedding this past weekend and did not worry about what I was eating or DRINKING. Had fun but back to the plan!! 2 cups of water in so far today. Not planning on exercising but keeping the log on my calorie count. Usually, I would not worry about weight loss or stay with the plan after this past weekend, but my end goal was for Health, not the wedding. Hope all is going well!!7

Hi again everyone, Jess 35/F/Sydney Australia
SW: 107.3kg (236 lbs) 1 Mar 2021
GW for May: 95kg (209 lbs)
06 May: 96.5kg (212 lbs)
18 May: 94.6kg (208.5 lbs) WOO!! 🎉
Since my last post I've been a bit of a lurker, so I thought I'd do an update today. Love reading all your updates and tips!! It's so great to know that we are not alone. Congratulations to all for big and small victories and dedication
If anyone wants to add me as a friend please do so -- I find it easier to chat on the feed where it is more one on one. I would be happy to share my diary and to like and comment to motivate and support
Update:
Last week We took a 3 day trip up to the Hunter Valley wine region, which was so lovely to have a few days away. I drank loads of wine and ate lots of yummy restaurant food, so I was expecting massive blowout. However my partner really came to the fore by coming on long walks with me, encouraging me to excercise even when I felt lazy, so most days I was still under my calorie goal. I feel like I'm getting into a good headspace -- eating 'bad' foods just isn't worth it anymore? I'd rather keep losing weight!
Though having said that, I have decided to bring back a few more 'naughties' into my diet. After 70 days of being as good as I possibly can, I'm enjoying some treats like a glass of wine or a small dessert, while still maintaining a defecit. I feel now I've gotten to my first goal and learned a few good habits along the way, I can trust myself to eat those foods without going over the top.
Goals for May:
1. IVF: my hormone injections begin......tomorrow morning!! 🤞
2. Smaller portions: I am getting better at this when I put in a concerted effort to portion food for myself. However I am still finding it a challenge to know when to stop if I have good food put in front of me.
3. More exercise: Got the exercise bike back out, going for almost daily walks.
NSVs:
This week I had to safety-pin my work pants in because they are so loose!! Starting to get a bit cranky about how nothing fits properly anymore 😂. Also had a couple of people compliment me on visible weight loss which was great!! 🙏10 -
Good morning all. Hope you're all doing well. I normally weigh in weekly on Thursdays but have been weighing daily to keep an eye on things. I kept losing and gaining the same 2-3lbs over and over but luckily I've think I've seemed to budge it 😊
I've simply been walking minimum 10k a day, drinking 2 litres+ of water, staying within my calories and logging all my food. Its been exactly 2 months and I've lost 12lbs. Very happy with this!

@stortina Good luck with the IVF!
That’s great that people are noticing your loss! I’ve lost 29 lbs and am still waiting for someone to notice. I guess the bigger you are the less noticeable it is. Hopefully soon. 🤞6 -
@stortina Good Luck with the ivf, you've been doing so well with your weight loss.
@jazzadesigns I'm still waiting on someone to notice my weight loss too, hopefully once the weather improves and I'm no longer wearing a winter coat they might see there's less of me.5 -
I woke up really sore today; combination of a good workout yesterday and the rain yesterday and today. And, unsurprisingly, two pounds up. Fortunately since I have been weighing daily, I know exactly what's going on. This is my muscles retaining water because they are sore, and it will go away once they heal up.5

@trinati2001 Have you tried replacing the batteries in your scale? I find when mine does that replacing the batteries solves the problem.
@stortina Good luck with the IVF. I sent you a friend request!
@jazzadesigns I'm in the same boat as you. I've lost 27 lbs so far and no one has noticed. The only people who have commented are my cousin and neighbor who know I am working hard at getting my life back in control. I wonder how much I have to shed before I will get a comment from someone who doesn't know my plan. I feel the same as you, the bigger you are the less noticable it is. That though just makes me sad. When I look in the mirror I see differences. I don't see a fat woman, I see someone who is taking control and making progress. I am proud of myself. Sometimes, I think about what other people may see - just a woman who has indulged in too much food over the years. That thought makes me even more disappointed which leads to me thinking about no matter how much I do or lose, someone somewhere will always have a negative opinion of me. But then I begin thinking about why I place value on their opinion. Either they are by my side and support me or they don't. If they don't support me then why does their opinion matter to me. I am working on those feelings I have and slowly learning not to care so much about what others think or say about me.
Just wondering if anyone has notice people (strangers) treat you differently, kinder as you lose more weight?

I KNOW people treat me differently when I am heavier. I have had people laugh at me on a beach, be rude to me in a restaurant, and toy with my emotions while dating. DO NOT let that deter you from doing what you are doing. What you see in the mirror is a reflection not just of your physical health but also of your inner self. You are doing good things taking care of your body and mind. Good job.7
