Thank you quiltingjaine for keeping this going!
May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!
Next short-term goal:
166....165....164....163....162....161....160...159.X
12/08 - Weight ? Yesterday I weighed 162.8. Today's weight at 6am before going to an early doc appt was 161.3. When I got home and weighed at my usual time, I weighed 160.6. Regardless of which one is correct, my goal is to reach the 150's at the end of 10 days.
12/09 - 160.6 - I guess I was ready for drop since I'm still 160.6.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.
My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6
Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), add one day of double strength training per week (didn’t hit this last round cause of a cold).
Previous Rounds169 150->151.2 (+1.2) Thanksgiving
170 151.2->148.3 (-2.9)
Previous Posts12/8 workday 2/2. Leftover soba noodles with cabbage, bell pepper, carrot and tofu for lunch. Roasted Brussel sprouts with a Buffalo sauce, avocado, and seitan for dinner. Protein: 124
12/9 I meal planned today since I work all weekend (boooo!) and ran around all morning doing some Christmas shopping and getting groceries. I did a clean and jerk, v-up, burpee workout and big pull day for strength (PRs on my DB rows and rack pulls!). Our gym is in the garage and I’m maxing out on the DB’s (only go up to 60) but we are also maxing out on space for gym equipment since we do use it as an actual car garage. I might look into getting PowerBlocks to get us up to 90lbs without using up much more floor space. Had a farro bowl with sautéed mushrooms, spinach, seitan and a gochujang sauce. Walked around the neighborhood after dinner looking at Christmas lights. Protein: 126

12/10 147.2 I did two cardio workouts. One jump rope and DB step ups and the other rowing, shoulder press, and bent over barbell rows. I did a core workout from my strength programming. Normally there are 4 days of mostly compound lifts and 2 days of accessory and core work and I’ve been trying to fit in the accessory days on one of my 4 non-work days. Mission accomplished today! I also went on a walk (I like to listen to house music and walk to the beat. Keeps the pace brisk lol) before it got super windy. I ran a few errands this afternoon with my mom and went to the florist to have them make a festive garland with lights to go around my front door. Hit some PRs (again!!) on leg day for the primary lifting session. I ended up eating waaay more today than I have for the past few weeks since I was so active. Dinner was a roasted cauliflower, black lentil, green olive, pistachio salad with a lemon vinaigrette and baked tofu. Back to work tomorrow. Protein: 162

Round 171 (103rd for me). I prove yet again round after round that I need this to help keep me on the straight and narrow.
There is only 17 days to Christmas !! So I'd like to lose 3 pounds for then ( I think 2 pounds are more realistic, but I'll give it a go!), that is only 2.5 weeks, a pound a week or 2 pounds per round. I know it will be tight, with more pre-Christmas activities, but I'm going to persevere and keeping going. Incentive is that I feel good about the dresses I want to wear for our Christmas & New Year dance nights. I need to remain binge free, but as always – yet again any loss will be a win!
Covid numbers keep yo-yoing in England – we reached “freedom day” back in the summer, but there is still a pandemic, and now a new variant: Covid is still very much around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, stay alert and always consider others.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But than I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Also, we had pizza last night so water retention could mask a bigger loss. We will see what happens the next few days. 2/3 rings closed but stayed within calories.
12/11 198.8 Yesterday I went slightly over calories. I was craving a chocolate bar so to prevent a binge I allowed myself. I actually closed my rings, I was resting from my back injection on Thursday but I got up and did short slow walks around the apartment a few times. Also, I am enjoying reading everyone’s posts. Here’s to a super Saturday.

Day/Weight/Previous Day’s Comment
12/8 207.8 Walked 1.1 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, shopping, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Dinner out Italian again but I ordered grilled crab cakes. Went to a play (TUTS Little Mermaid) with my sister, DD and DIL which was a nice change of pace but it was a late night.
12/9 207.5 Walked 2.8 + 1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Healthier eating and this time I included veggies! But I’m craving and snacking on Simply Jif by the spoonful.
12/10 206.6 Walked .7 + 1.5 miles, Strength Training 1 hr, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Doing great with meals but my snacking is still off … Snickers and then opened a bag of Fritos after coming home from grocery store.
Pregnant DIL was in a car accident. The driver fell asleep behind the wheel at 3pm!! Didn’t even tap the brakes and ran into the back of her. He and his daughter were taken away in ambulance … he was not conscience. DIL and the baby are okay. She was wearing a Pregnancy Bump Strap so no trauma across the tummy from the seat belt! Met her doctor at the hospital for observation and to throughly check her & baby out.
Buy this for every pregnant woman in your life!

12/11 206.4 Walked 3.1 miles, ? cal, ? net carbs, AF. Went to doctor to see if I can do anything about a lingering 3 week cough before granddaughter is born. No root cause except drainage down throat (not nose). No sinus congestion or headache, no chest congestion, no fever, no aches, clear ears, negative Covid, etc. Got a steroid shot, Z-Pak, & take Zyrtec. Hopefully it will knock out whatever it is.

Hi, I’m Karen and am in my 50’s.
OSW-187 Sept. 2018
GW-150
12/8-166-I just want to get to 164 this round. DH went fishing, so we had trout for dinner. Soup supper at church tonight, hopefully I can play my cards right and avoid any bread. I want to get a bike ride and horse ride in today.
12/9-DNW-The soup was salty and I ate 2 small pieces of bread. My friend’s quilt top arrived yesterday early and I wanted to get it quilted so I can mail it back today. I normally do not quilt for other people, but I wanted to help her out. Luckily, it was fast and easy. Rain today.
12/10-168-Homemade chicken vegetable soup, must have been the salt. Sunny today, lots to do.
12/11-164-Made it to my goal for the round. Had a small pork chop, sautéed spinach, riced cauliflower and salad, just small portions. My son told me his friend graduates tomorrow; I thought it was supposed to be in the spring and I wanted to make him a quilt. I already have the fabric and a quick pattern....12 -
Let’s rock and roll! Back in September, I had set a goal to see 199 by New Year’s Day. These short 10 day challenges have really kept me motivated, and got me to that goal more than a month early. So maybe, just maybe…. I can see 190 by New Year’s Day?! I’m surely going to try!

Goals this round: 10,000 steps daily, <100 net carbs daily, Pelo ride 2-3x week, strength training 2-3x week
SW: 193.4
12/8: 193.4 63 net carbs yesterday and Pelo ride done. Fell short on steps, but it is what it is. Seems the monthly stall has arrived, so this round will likely not bring much loss. I’m okay with that.
12/9: 194.6 94 net carbs, and a little short on steps. Monthly stall is in full effect.
12/10 194.6 Holding steady, which is good during this stall cycle! 60 net carbs, but I’ve been failing fairly miserably at my step goal. I’m granting myself some grace here though. The holiday season has had me pretty dang busy.
12/11 194.6 yet again. 62 net carbs, but more sodium than usual. I’m surprised I didn’t gain considering how much time I spent on my feet yesterday. Still fell short of my step goal again. It is what it is. I know myself well enough to know at some point, I will get back to hitting my step goal.

❄️🌨️☃️ December ☃️🌨️❄️
8: 212.6 I've got a new goal to reach 195 by 2/22/22...the day before my birthday. Broken down into 5 pound increments, the first being the longest because of the holidays, I'd like to see 210 by December 30th. With TOM this round and Christmas next round, it might be challenging, but I intend to hold myself to it.
9: 212.2 Good day yesterday. Honestly surprised to not be seeing little gains yet, but I'll take the loss! Makes me curious what's different now though. 🤷🏽
10: 212.2 I'm gonna call this a win because I would normally definitely be gaining by now. Getting ready to hunker down for a couple days. Winter storm on the way. First we were expecting 5-12 inches of snow. Now they're saying mixed precipitation. Either way, I don't want to drive in it, so meals are planned and groceries are bought.
11: 212.4 Since my (formally?) normal PMS gain pattern isn't happening, I wonder if the TOM whoosh will still happen in day 2 or 3. I'm kind of excited to find out.
We got around 4 inches of snow overnight, so looks like shoveling will need to happen at some point. I'll probably be sore tomorrow!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/08 - 180.4, Ave 180.9
Okay, back on track and determined to get out of the 80s for good this round, holidays or no! I’m still working on my office (have a rug in mind for to open space and I’m looking for a small cabinet) but here’s the new color. I love the change in the feel of the room.
12/09 - 180.4, Ave 180.8
Ugh, I ate too much yesterday. I can’t seem to stifle myself. But I’m off in a few minutes for a dog walk with a friend and she’s usually up for a nice long one. Gotta bundle up!
12/10 - 181.2, Ave 181.2
Time lag, because my calories yesterday were fine. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow….
12/11 - 181.2, Ave 181.2
Steady as she goes. I had planned a nice walk but the temp is dropping fast (20 degrees in two hours!) and wind is 30-40 mph, so I don’t think so. Maybe I should paint another room for exercise? 😁

12/8 205.4 (-1.0) Swam yesterday. I swim an hour of laps and my time is faster. I swam 100 yards averaging 4’14”. When I started swimming in July, it took me 10’52”. Today is no organized exercise. My son flies in tomorrow for a long weekend. Can’t wait to see him!
12/9 205.0 (-1.4) A busy day today, but I plan to swim in between everything on my schedule. Eating and exercise will probably be a little off with company over the weekend, but I’m planning to stay on track with the exception of one indulgence meal.
12/10 206 (-.4) I was hungry yesterday and polished off some salted roasted almonds last night. I felt a little nauseous afterwards. I did not get my swimming in. I’m heading to Lion King tonight with my son and his friends and we are going out to dinner before the show. That will be my indulgence meal, so there will be more of a bump tomorrow.
12/11 207.4 (+1.0) Enjoyed the night out at the Lion King. I swam yesterday morning for an hour so did manage to get some good exercise in, along with about 7,500 steps. So I’m hoping this extra weight drops off quickly in the next few days. Heading to Meow Wolf, which is an installation art exhibit. So we’ll be walking a lot. It’s been fun having my son and his buddy in town.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
People say keto/LCHF isn’t sustainable but I’ve been doing it for over 4 years with amazing results!
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/11 - DNW - We ended up unexpectedly hanging out with some friends late last night and didn't get home until about 2am just talking and hanging out. Woke up at about 8 remembering I'd promised the local grocery store I'd be in early if they'd save me some boxes from overnight stocking (which they did! Yay free moving boxes). I was dressed and ready before my sleepy little brain realized I hadn't weighed. I figure it will likely be a false weight given the late night, lack of sleep, and water anyway so I'm not too upset by it. Back on goals/habits today. Everyone is out of town except the 2 friends we hung out with last night so it's just BF and I today. Making grocery list for dinners next week (I'm commuting) and I'll pick those up tomorrow before football starts. Rest day for NF (thankfully, after that little sleep I'd be really struggling). Not sure what's on the agenda for us today

Previous Day's Comments12/08 - Whew, the first weigh in of the round is now over and no random uptick! Food was okay, portions were good, water was excellent. All NF habits completed. Got plenty of stretching in through the day, but checked off goal with a 6 minute morning yoga routine. My body was a bit stiff so throughout the day, I got on the floor and moved in whatever way felt comfortable. Today is 7 reverse lunges each as well as my BW workout from NF so I'll knock those out here shortly. Lots of back to back meetings again so no grocery trip today (and if the meetings hold, tomorrow either) so I have to get creative with a balanced lunch these next couple of days. Friday I'm off so can stock up for the weekend and next week.
12/09 - Scale was making rash decisions this morning. Before I could even get both feet settled on it, it had settled on 146.2. I was not confident so I let it cycle through off and on, tried again. Another rash decision. With only one foot on the scale (the other hovering as I was in the process of stepping from floor to scale) 148.6. Okaaaaay, not even ON the scale. Finally, it acted normal and gave me 2 back to back readings (that took the normal couple of seconds to register) of 146.7. Well then. Today is rest day for NF. QFit wants me to do 9 staircases but I don't have any staircases around that are accessible to me/open to the public (or part of a state park in which you have to schedule a reservation and pay for). All habits good yesterday, water was good. Food was much much better with veggies in all 3 meals. I know dinner is homemade hamburgers at Fam's again tonight and I also know they usually leave me feeling horribly full and the scale jumping up the next day. Will be sure to plan around that with breakfast and lunch as well as eat slower tonight and be mindful of portion size.
12/10 - Actually shocked I'm down. Homemade venison/beef burgers. Also had a small pre-dinner snack of Limburger cheese on wheat thins (Those pushed me over calories by about 100). I did cut my burger in half. Ate half with the bun, the other half without bun. Saved me some calories and helped me up protein without upping carbs anymore. Also only ate cucumber and carrots as a side. Not a single chip, either! Lunch was a frozen burrito because meetings came flooding in back to back around my normal lunch and I only had about 5 minutes to get something and stuff my face. Breakfast was alright with ham/egg/cheese english muffin. No veggies, though. Finished my NF bodyweight workout already this morning. All of NF habits good. Hoping to hit 15 hours fasting despite my workout (NF goal is 15 hours so I'm not worried if I'm below 16. Training my body to adjust to fasting while working out is a lot harder than I thought. This is why fasting fell off my radar when I was training for my 5k. Hangry was not fun). Grocery shopping today. Hopefully I can get in and out before I get too ravenous. I am pretty good about sticking to my list, though, regardless of hunger.

Hello! This is Round 3 for me. 60F, 5' 3.5". I'm pretty good with following my calories/day allotment and exercising most days (5-6/wk). I lift weights, cardio, stretching, and PT exercises as part of my exercise routine. Good luck everyone!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/8 140.9 Another hike in my favorite park yesterday. Last time, a few days back, it was in the 60's. Yesterday, it was in the 40's (and sunny in Colorful Colorado!). I wore leggings and jeans, 2 pairs of socks, 2 shirts, 2 sweatshirts, and a knit hat, lol! I have never hiked in that much clothing before! It worked out well. I thought I would have to wrap one sweatshirt around my waist partway through, but didn't because it was a bit windy. I realized that I did not state a Round goal yesterday, so I added that to my other goals above. Today, I am going to a lunch at a restaurant with a number of ladies and have scoped out the menu online and figured out my calories for the day to keep within my allotment. We'll see how that works. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
12/9. 141.1 OK, for the last six days or so, I've been fairly level with my weight, ever so slightly ticking up. I have been tolerating it, but today, I'm starting to become less tolerant. Yesterday, I went out to lunch and ate more for that meal (~725 calories as opposed to the more typical ~400 calories), and went over ~225 calories for the day. I almost always stay within my allotted amount, so I thought this would be totally ok. And it is, but I am still displeased, lol! It's all good. I'll continue following my calories and my exercise routine...
12/10 140.8 Much better
12/11. 139.8 First time in the 130's for decades, since before my children (in the nineties). My first child "gave" me seven extra pounds and my second, two. I, unfortunately, "gave" myself more! Too many years of prioritizing everything before my needed weight loss. Yo-yo'ing up and down the overweight range of BMI was not the best. No doubt, I'll bounce around 140 for a awhile. This is my year-end goal, which means I need to get lower than that to compensate for the two holiday parties on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

12/07 …..190.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/08 …..190.4 ….. (Trend weight 189.6) I’m a hot mess. Now I’ve ran my glucose up and I am feeling like sheer crap on top of it all. I’m making changes today to get to a better place. More paperwork and business for my brother is due today. I don’t even feel like I can raise a pencil to paper! It’s the food choices.
12/09 …..190.4 ….. Trend weight 189.7) Same weight for 3 days in a row but my trend weight is creeping up 0.1 each and every day. I still haven’t made the changes I need to. I am not eating my meals proper, then I’m snacking too much at night turning snacks into meals. Cravings are all over the place. Back and forth from salt to sweet. Glucose numbers still up, even with new meds. I am not even giving them a chance to work. Self-sabotage is putting it mildly. I promise myself everyday that it will change today, and then I begin the tasks for my brother’s death and I either lean on food for comfort, or I get to busy to plan for success. I suppose the first part of success and change is recognition, so here I am standing at the confessional podium. Better planning is next and success (while currently elusive) is mine to take.
12/10 …..189.8 ….. (Trend weight 189.7) I ate better yesterday and kept my snacks to sugar-free items. I still haven’t started Christmas shopping and you all know how far I am from ANY stores. I hope to do a little shopping online today, we are expecting another bad winter storm. We’ve had over 12” of snow in the past couple of days. I am still working on decorating with my handyman’s help. It’s hard to get in the spirit. I’m hanging on by the skin of my teeth here, please continue to be patient with me, my friends.
12/11 …..190.6 ….. (Trend weight 189.8) Waited too long for dinner due to unexpected company over. Then I overate. Dinner at 11:30 pm. Early wake-up and weigh-in after 3.5 hours of sleep. I can’t wait for life to get back to normal, but sadly it will be without Jeff. I still haven’t starting shopping yet. Today I hope to spend some time online doing the online shopping thing. I hope it will better get me in the spirit. Gotta watch my meals today and make sure I don’t get too hungry! I’m actually quite perfect at all this……..that is, until I get hungry. I know ya’ll get that!

Thank you quiltingjaine for keeping this going!
May 10, 2021: 183.1 - just 2.9 pounds off 186, my heaviest weight ever.
Calorie/Carb Cycling with an average of 1200 to 1400 calories at the end of 10 days. 80 oz water each day. Row/Walk/Free-Weights most days. IF, no sugar. Focus on getting enough vegetables. If I hit each of these, the weight loss will follow!
Next short-term goal:
166....165....164....163....162....161....160...159.X
12/08 - Weight ? Yesterday I weighed 162.8. Today's weight at 6am before going to an early doc appt was 161.3. When I got home and weighed at my usual time, I weighed 160.6. Regardless of which one is correct, my goal is to reach the 150's at the end of 10 days.
12/09 - 160.6 - I guess I was ready for drop since I'm still 160.6.
12/10 - 160.4
12/11 - 160.2 - Today feels like winters in Georgia - cold and rainy. It's a great day for projects! Enjoy the weekend!

Day/Weight/Comment
12/08: 205.7 - Alright back down after my body played an end of the round trick on me. Felt really tired this morning so it was a drag to get on the bike but just did it anyway and set another 20 minute PR. Either my cardio is improving that much or I'm getting stronger to set 3 new PRs in a week.
12/09: 204.4 - I'm guessing a lot of water in this but I also had a good day of eating yesterday and I'm just burning so many calories lately that weight is flying off (even though I'm eating plenty, including some junk). Took a 45 minute ride with my favorite instructor this morning and set a 45 minute PR tomorrow is definitely going to be active rest day because my poor legs need it!
12/10: 204.1 - Not much to say today. Very tired. Almost didn't want to work out this morning but pushed myself to do 2 rides. Secondary scale said 203.5... getting so close to 200.
12/11: 201.3 - Two words: Water. Weight. 60 minute ride this morning burning 850 calories and a TON of sweat. Either way it’s nice to see that 200 is attainable probably within a week or so.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/8 140.9 Another hike in my favorite park yesterday. Last time, a few days back, it was in the 60's. Yesterday, it was in the 40's (and sunny in Colorful Colorado!). I wore leggings and jeans, 2 pairs of socks, 2 shirts, 2 sweatshirts, and a knit hat, lol! I have never hiked in that much clothing before! It worked out well. I thought I would have to wrap one sweatshirt around my waist partway through, but didn't because it was a bit windy. I realized that I did not state a Round goal yesterday, so I added that to my other goals above. Today, I am going to a lunch at a restaurant with a number of ladies and have scoped out the menu online and figured out my calories for the day to keep within my allotment. We'll see how that works. Have a wonderful day, everyone.
12/9. 141.1 OK, for the last six days or so, I've been fairly level with my weight, ever so slightly ticking up. I have been tolerating it, but today, I'm starting to become less tolerant. Yesterday, I went out to lunch and ate more for that meal (~725 calories as opposed to the more typical ~400 calories), and went over ~225 calories for the day. I almost always stay within my allotted amount, so I thought this would be totally ok. And it is, but I am still displeased, lol! It's all good. I'll continue following my calories and my exercise routine...
12/10 140.8 Much better
12/11. 139.8 First time in the 130's for decades, since before my children (in the nineties). My first child "gave" me seven extra pounds and my second, two. I, unfortunately, "gave" myself more! Too many years of prioritizing everything before my needed weight loss. Yo-yo'ing up and down the overweight range of BMI was not the best. No doubt, I'll bounce around 140 for a awhile. This is my year-end goal, which means I need to get lower than that to compensate for the two holiday parties on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

12/8: 205.6 To be expected! Took my Adderall break yesterday and had my morning protein shake, tried to have a bowl of cereal but it was the generic kind and yucky, two veggie samosas for lunch, and butter chicken with rice and half a piece of naan for dinner with a little ice cream afterwards. So lots of sodium! Also lots of calories I’m sure but it was sure yummy. Have leftover butter chicken and naan tonight but going to eat a smaller portion. Overslept this morning so took a smaller dose of Adderall. BP has been cooperating so far.
12/9: 204.8 Some of that sodium water exiting my system.
12/10: 204.6 This is the pace of weight loss I’m used to lol. Still think some of this is sodium induced - I’ve been eating Indian leftovers for the past two nights. It’s Friday, time to make a big push before the weekend work-wise so larger dose of Adderall today. Yikes.
12/11: 204.4 Good I guess? Looks like I don’t need to be so worried about Adderall related weight loss lol. Definitely not going to make it to 200 at this rate but oh well, it’s still progress. Very sad day at the barn yesterday. Went for my lesson and found out one of the barn favorites, amazing lesson and show horse, died very unexpectedly that morning. Then, went to catch my lesson horse and she was COMPLETELY lame. Took 30 minutes to coax her up to the barn (normally a 5 minute walk) and I had to call my instructor, who was teaching a lesson, to please send someone out to me with more grain as more encouragement. Probably an abscess so she should be ok. Still got a short ride in on someone else but with everything that was going on, didn’t get to enjoy it too much. Today I had to be at a client site all morning so I’m looking forward to the afternoon off. Might still do some work on Sunday.10 -
@fmfdfa2020 You are so sweet! Thank you for your comment; it makes it feel more real. When I saw that I was in the 130's this morning all I was thinking was, I should feel more excited! And although I understand that this is a big thing for me, it comes with knowledge that I can do this and will see my goal weight (135) in a couple months or so. I have no idea how I will feel at 135, but I'm planning on being ecstatic, lol!8

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
