Hi all, this looks a good thread! Nice to read all your comments.
5ft 2, 54y
Since the beginning of lockdown I've been putting on 2lbs here and there, and ended up 10 lbs heavier than 2 years ago. So January is about getting a grip, stopping baking cakes, and feeling better.
5 January - 120.0
12 January - 117.6
Hoping to be 8 stone by the end of next month and fitting into my clothes a bit better again. Fitbit tells me sleep has improved, resting heart rate is down, and my stomach is not sore anymore. Not sure why I ever eat sugar to be honest!

Hey guys!

I kept up my 10k steps and had 3 good workouts this week! The scale is steadily moving down but I feel so much better already! This week I am focusing on listening to when my body is hungry instead of pointless snacking. Have a great week!8 -

Hi everyone! Thanks for the lovely comments on my bread. It tasted rather good - best sourdough method I've come across to date.
Almost at the magical 180lbs which is what I want to hit this month! Doing ok so far. Friday was a write off as we went down to the sea side and had dinner at a fabulous burger place. Burgers, cider, beer, gin... Mind you, other than that blip I have been good and in control. (We'll ignore the fact that I felt somewhat delicate following Friday's drinks and had a remarkably low cal Sat as a result...)
Activity is up too: I hit 80k steps last week for the first time in a long long time. Not great with the strength training yet, but my activity level is definitely up. Strength training tonight though with my PT. I haven't picked up running again just yet because the recent weather has resulted in a number of days with black ice.
Next month I have a friend's hen party (bachelorette for those of you not in the UK) and I'm looking forward to feeling lighter and less bloated by then.
@k8richer Oh my word, that looks fab! I haven't skated for years, but that sounds seriously cool, skating through an orchard!5 -
Ugh. I am so up and down right now. I'm going through perimenopause, and every time I have a hormone surge, my weight fluctuates. I'm having to constantly change my goals, which is fine but still frustrating. I should still be able to get to 149 by the 1st, but I'm also aware that it just might not happen this month!!6

Not seeing the losses I would hope to see, but the workouts are all new (I have 2 weeks of different workouts before they repeat, plus cardio), and while I may need to adjust my calories, I have a feeling this is just one of those weird kinda-plateau-but-not-really situations as I have stayed in or under my range every day - but my diet has changed, workouts have changed, even mentally been some shifts over the past few weeks, so not going to sweat it just yet....6 -

Keep on truckin'!!!
Just out of curiosity, what is your split or how do you have your workouts arranged for the 2-week cycles?2 -

I've had a great 1/2 week so I'm posting my weight early. I'm feeling much better - strong and healthy - finally! Back to weight training, bootcamp and smart calorie intake. I am reminded that bodies take time to adjust to health changes and new routines but then sometimes results come quickly.... hang in the @HoneyBadger302!
It's too cold so I can't plan for outdoor fitness (beyond dog walking) but am adapting my workouts. Thank goodness we bought a fancy iFit treadmill thing at the beginning of covid. I scoffed at it at the time, but now admit it is cool as an indoor option.

Yes! With still a week to go I hit a number below my target of sub 180 for the month! Yesterday I even weighed in at 178.8lbs, so I think I’m pretty safely below the 180lbs mark.
I have also re-instated my gym membership so I can start doing some proper weights again. Exciting stuff! Friend’s wedding has now also been confirmed for the 9th of April, so I have stuff to work towards.
@HoneyBadger302 A plateau is better than in increase in weight, and equally solid shifts to better habits are good NSVs in themselves.
@staceyrey12 If they are hormone fluctuations, perhaps using a average weight tracker may benefit you. It should help you see the overall direction you’re going in.
@k8richer I’m keeping on with the outdoor PT sessions. Even close to freezing I am on that field with my gloves, hat and multiple layer lifting my weights!

Just out of curiosity, what is your split or how do you have your workouts arranged for the 2-week cycles?
I worked with a coach in my sport to help set something up that works with my schedule - so 3x/week I do the prescribed workout, then 2-3x/week do a cardio session of my choice.
The split is there mostly to keep me from getting bored - I just simply won't sit there doing the same thing day in and day out LOL. Basically there are 6 different workouts (week 1 has a slightly different theme than week 2), and those rotate with increased intensity/weight/reps after 2 rotations. So basically he puts together 1 workout plan with 6 different workouts, and that is designed to last me 10 weeks.
Due to my own background in fitness, I don't feel the need to really work closely with a trainer, but do utilize help in putting together a plan with someone who works with athletes in my sport to be sure I'm really hitting what has been proven to work.

50, almost 5'5''
Jan GW 129 lbs
Jan 1 133 lbs
Jan 8 131.4 lbs
Jan 15 131.8 lbs
Jan 22 130.2 lbs
This week was so much better on both the eating and moving fronts. I just might be able to reach my goal weight at the end of the month. It's been years since I've been able to cross that 130 lbs line and now it seems possible.
Thank you, to everyone who posts - it really is inspiring! Each day, I look forward to checking the thread.3 -

I have been 100% on dry January, hit and miss on diet, mostly hit on the strength training, mostly miss on cardio. I really want to be more dedicated, but I am tired and like chocolate.

As soon as I near 125lbs, I will be at maintenance - very exciting. And im increasing my strength training (says she to herself...) so my weight loss may level out anyway as I gain muscle. In my 20s my body had a tipping point around 120lbs where working out more just put on muscle and I would put on weight. Nothing wrong with that. Although I wonder what my middle aged body will do. In any event, strong is beautiful!
I went snowshoeing yesterday and today - it is gorgeous and peaceful in the woods covered in snow. Have a happy healthy week everyone!
