Last week was a wild one. I gained and then dropped 6lbs of water weight over that week so. Mostly just letting this ride out, getting back to my norm and seeing where things go.

I haven’t been feeling well the last couple of weeks so I haven’t been exercising and I’ve been eating a lot. I’m starting to feel better now and got to the gym yesterday and today. After such a big break, I’m super sore.
I have a ball coming up in April (as well as my 45th birthday) I’d like to feel confident in a gown, so I’m hoping that can help me stay focused for a bit.1 -

So I successfully tracked my food intake over the last 2 weeks and I have been successful with getting in exercise. I did create a weekly routine for myself to help keep myself accountable. My current weight 130.2 pounds and I'm ok here but by the summer I would like to be down to 125. Also, this is a new mfp account for me, I used to be on here so please feel free to add me for motivation.3

I am returning from a 5-day weekend road trip with my teenager for her hockey tournament. There was fast food and snacks galore, as well as at least two nights of adult beverages for the parents. I enjoyed myself, but proud that I didn't
over do it. I ate everything in moderation and had only 2 drinks but am definitely feeling like a slug. Bootcamp at 6am tomorrow morning should be a good kick in the butt!3 -
Hi there,
I am jumping in to this thread without further "adieu."
(I'm not obese, but I may be to heavy for this group at 5'5.5 and ~162. If that's the case, feel free to kick me out!)
I'm 40 years old, I have two cats, a husband and a stepson. Don't believe anything on my profile as that is woefully outdated.
My motivation is that I have a mysterious pinched nerve in my back and I can't help but think taking some pressure off would be a good thing.
I did not weigh in today, but my last weight, I believe, was 162.
My goals for the remainder of this month are
(1) to eat mindfully every day and pay attention to my hunger scale as I have a history of compulsive and sometimes binge eating;
(2) to track all my food and beverages;
(3) weigh in daily;
(4) post here every day no matter what.
I do quite a routine of PT exercises and spin-bike to manage my nerve symptoms. I would love to get back to what I think is "real" exercise, but I do burn a healthy amount of calories.5 -
Today was my worst weigh in all week, by a fair bit (go figure)

Three solid workouts later, I'm ready to check in and im ok with the result. The scale increase doesn't reflect how strong and fit I'm feeling. Muscle is good. 💪3 -

162.5 yesterday, did not weigh in today as yesterday was a party and I tbh forgot about it this morning. I'm feeling good about this week 0

This month was a write off...I have no idea how much I weigh right now, but a trip to Scotland (funeral, 5 days with my extremely unhealthy in-laws), a hen/bachelorette weekend (too much alcohol) and just general tiredness resulting in lazy and bad eating choices. Starting again today. Be good, meal prep, exercise. I miss running. I'd like to get to about 12st7lb for the wedding, in just over 5 weeks.
Excuse the ramble. Is there a March thread yet?1 -
Just noticed no March thread so took the liberty to create one.

@k8richer
Cuts can be extremely aggressive/restrictive, but they don't have to be. Lots of variables there. I'm nearing the end of mine (just shy of 2 more weeks) and my low days are currently 1500-1600 & my high days are at 2100-2200, keeping protein intake constant, and on high days bumping fats up by ~10g and the rest of the increase coming from carbs. Next week (Tues) I'll start a linear progressive carb load with the goal of peaking on Saturday.1 -

See ya February, you won't be missed. I'm feeling strong as I've been lifting more but i have been sort of careless about my intake. Hence the scale. In a very decent NSV however, I now fit back into leggings that I'd donated to my teenage girls 2 years ago, thinking I'd never get into them again. Take that, scale!
Thanks @JBanx256 - sounds intense and complicated but it must also be satisfying to see the results! Good for you! I will do some more research....

CW: 123.4
GW: My pants continuing to fit, basically.
3-1: 123.4
I don't want to say I'm suffering from apathy about my weight/maintaining the loss, because it's not that. It's more that I am very apathetic about the scale and my clothes fitting is all I really care about. This spring is a LOT of dog stuff, both professional (board and train/raise puppy, some behavioral clients) and personal (trials, trials, more trials). Most of my goals are focused there. We'll see how it plays out and how often I remember to get on a scale and report that reading.
That said I seem to be hovering within about a pound of 123 pretty much all the time this month and that's basically my sweet spot.
I do expect that to go up a couple of pounds a couple of times around trial weekends. I pack a lot of my food for these things and I've never had FAT gain but my sodium intake jumps by about 2000% AND I get sore as heck, so I almost always have somewhere around 5lbs of abrupt water gain that comes off over the next few days/week. We'll see!

@k8richer at this point it's really a matter of manipulating some variables (carbs, hydration, etc), to try to achieve a particular look - don't want to look too flat (depleted etc), trying to get a fuller "3D" look to the muscles so toying with a few things to see what gives the results I'm after
