LSPT (Lost since personal trainer): 30
I'm excited about progress! I've checked in with my personal trainer, who I do not discuss my numbers, weight, with specifically. I like having this group to check in with weekly for the numbers precisely.
I am eating my daily protein needs and staying on track with calories and doing my strength training three times a week, which also includes cardio. My heart rate definitely gets up there on some of the exercises.
I've scheduled my next session with my personal trainer in about three weeks and talked about what to focus on next, which hopefully help resolve some neck and dizziness issues I've been struggled with this summer.
With the help of a personal trainer, I'm feeling very optimistic and motivated that I can keep losing weight and improve my fitness. I'm 42 now and was starting to feel it was hopeless that I could never get back to some semblance of my previous self and level of fitness/activity. Now I'm wondering if with his help I could get back to full field women's soccer next summer. I would love that so much!5 -

Looks like being back in my normal routine is not as good as when I was on holidays.
Not a gain but the scale doesn't seem to be moving lately.5 -

Losing weight is such a slow process. My highest weight was 259, I’m at 236 right now. I’ve been losing weight about as much as this app has said I would. I want to be under 200 now. Patience, huh? I’d like to make my steps 9000 6 days a week. Want for that to be sustainable though bc I have no intentions of trying to re lose this weight. If I follow my calories and stop losing weight I guess just decrease my calories by 200 day each week until I start losing again, except for Sunday, a slight cheat day of 1900 calories3

When I weigh in I tell myself at least it's not a gain. If I continue with this type of thinking, weight loss simply won't happen. I need to rethink and regroup before my logic turns into - well at least it's only a small gain.

You could always be plateauing because your body is recomposing itself! If you lose fat and gain muscle at the same rate, it isn't noticeable on the scale. Are you tracking your progress through any other metrics?2 -
@gigglemachine thank you I needed to hear that. At my highest weight I was with my hubby, daughter and her fiancé on a ride at Disney World, and the guy told me I have to get off the ride since I couldn’t buckle my seatbelt. I don’t think I’ve ever sucked my gut in so much, I begged him for another chance to try, and somehow I made it. Good gravy, don’t want to be there again, either. So I’ll keep chugging along even though it’s a slow process for someone my weight. Maybe next year at this time I’ll be trying on nice dresses for my daughters wedding. There’s not a single heavy person in his family and I’ve been to shy to meet them bc of my weight. Thank you😊3

@pizzafruit OMG you're so right, I need to do the same thing: change my mindset! I'm not happy to see the scale stay the same/increase slightly, so why do I tell myself it's ok?!
My biggest issue seems to be portion sizes. They're just too big. I serve myself the same size as my hubby, forgetting always that he's a whole foot taller, in a normal weight range, and therefore able to eat as much as he wants. Sometimes I struggle to finish what's on my plate but I soldier through it - never did manage to cancel my membership to the Clean Plate Club!
I'm going to set myself a challenge to reduce a portion size/leave something on the plate at least once a day. And no eating from the package, that's just a recipe for disaster!3 -

Thanks guys, sorry for the slow update! Hope I can make it into this week's tally.
Hoping to weigh in in Friday, although I know again its unlikely to be good as I've had a killer period this month. Since our miscarriage a few weeks ago my body has been trying to get back to normal, so I was laid up a few days this week with headache stomach cramps and the rest of that joy! So not expecting a great result this week, but hey, trying to stay positive.
Catch up again next week ☺️

When I was more successful with my weight loss, I was still part of the clean plate club - I should really get back to my old tricks! Most of my strategy involved filling half the plate with vegetables, with the other half of the plate split almost evenly between a protein and some kind of carb. It was a good motivation to find better ways to cook vegetables, so I didn't hate half of my plate!

I'm late in posting for this week . Partly because I'm on vacation this week and the other part I'm not pleased with the numbers.
Weigh In Day: Monday

I haven't been consistent with August. A lot has been going on and I haven't been focusing on my health and eating well. I think tracking my habits would be a good change to start in Sept

There's been a lot smaller (and bigger) things that contributed to this gain.
1. I'm still a bit bloated from last weekend's camping (very poor food choices) and to be frank I ate more the previous week than usual.
2. Stress eating.
3. Less moving - due to temperature outside but also because of my foot-leg issue.
I think 2 and 3 are worse especially combined, and they are. I mentioned a while ago that in July my left foot went numb. It's been like that ever since and even getting worse at times. I am in the process of trying to find out what's going on, but with this I am at the mercy of the healthcare system. So far I found out that I am vit B12 deficient. I realized that even though my mobility is not limited, walking with a numb foot and tingling in the whole leg brings discomfort big enough that subconsciously I move around less. The step count is a proof of that. That leg is weaker and gets sore significantly more easily than the other one.
In addition to that, earlier this week I found out that I have an infection at the side of the tooth implant. I got that implant 13 years ago and it is quite a mystery why the bone did not attach to the implant at one side. Instead, bacteria found it to be a perfect gathering spot and apparently having a great time there resulting in bone loss. (Surgery to fix that problem in September.) I am wondering whether on going infection in my body is the reason for lack of energy, being lethargic. Any kind of effort, even simplest yoga routine, has seemed so challenging and demanding recently. Or maybe I am looking for excuses. After all, summers are usually a gaining territory for me in terms of weight.
I want to get below 140 by the end of next week though, at the beginning of Labor Weekend. This marks the end of summer, school starts on Tuesday after Labor Day and I have that oral surgery the next day (Wednesday). I know that I will be bloated right after I come back home from that last camping trip but I do not want to give in totally, so if I can get to 139.9 by Friday, I'll take it.4 -
