July 6 197!!! been so busy with work and have had guests 2 weekends in a row and now for a week. Hoping that I will walk and be more active than I was with out other guests. Also fourth if July yummies and have been drinking soda which always makes me bloated.
July 15 198. Been tough with friends visiting and being off work for 10 days. I’m super bloated from pms so I’m going to be drinking tons of water to help. Goal is getting 10k every day for the rest of the month.
July 18 197 migraine today so took meds. They always make me retain water so hopefully it doesn’t last long
July 19 196.5. Yeah! My migraine went away at about 2ish so I was able to go to Zumba last night.
July 25 196 slow going but I’m proud of myself in making sure I’m getting my steps, not chowing on candy all day (basket of it on my desk for employees), and didn’t get popcorn or soda last night at the movies.
You all are doing so great!! Keep it up!3 -

Had a lovely walk in the forest yesterday and legs don’t feel too bad this morning. Two weeks of the trial gym month still left to go so trying to fit in as many classes as I can and trusting that I’ll see some progress and the tiredness will be worth it. Deadlift this evening.

Look at all of you kicking butt here! Super excited for everyone's progress. I've been really busy the past two days, and just looking forward to sleep more than anything for the weekend. But I've still be getting my 2 miles in every day on the treadmill.
For those of us that are fighting a few challenges here: You *could* say F it, and just go back to previous habits -- but we know those habits weren't working, right? So even if you're still waiting for the next weight drop on the scale, or some other indicator: If you're doing the work, it's going to happen; it's just going to take more time. Try not to get discouraged (and trust me, I get it -- I've lost and gained these current pounds a few times now). Try to see the benefits that are showing up -- maybe moving a little easier, or more energy during the day, or your clothes are just a little looser. If this was easy, none of us would be here.
Thank you for sharing your journey. I appreciate you all. Have an amazing Friday everyone.6 -

Up early again for gym, dragged out of sleep by my alarm. Two glasses of wine yesterday to three glasses of water so that ratio seems acceptable to my scales. I will put it to the test again tonight!
@kellyswimmer - good to hear your dog is doing better, so difficult when they can't tell you what's wrong with them.

The accountability on trampoline by tracking it here is really helping. And of course the trampoline itself is great.
@ManifestingToday thank you I really needed to hear that message to stick with it even when progress seems insanely slow.
I’m thinking of lowering the calorie limit a bit next month to see if I can up the progress. I’m 5’5 and somewhat active and thinking of doing 1200. So far I’m adhering to 1300 without issue. It’s all an experiment right? If anyone has feedback I’m open to it.

My weight will go up tomorrow because we are being bad today. But I think I've got a plan going forward. I have started having high protein (meat/egg) for breakfast, but a little later breakfast. The test drive of this plan has been successful. I don't need/want food until around 3pm ET, and if I do some kind of protein shake around then, I can easily do my afternoon workout and not go near snacks -- just my meals. I do still need to curb the want for dessert at night after dinner, but this is a huge shift for me.
Have a great Saturday, everyone.2 -

I am going to assume that you are eating a balanced diet of protein, fats and carbs in the calorie ratio of 30:30:40.
Summary of Macronutrient Breakdown for 1200 Calories
Protein: 30% of 1200 calories = 360 calories, which is 90 grams
Fat: 30% of 1200 calories = 360 calories, which is 40 grams
Carbohydrates: 40% of 1200 calories = 480 calories, which is 120 grams
Based off the above, it doesn't seem likely that you are not losing weight. Your daily maintenance should be about 1800 calories. So if you are accurately tracking and it turns out to 1200, you are in a deficit of 600 calories a day. Over a 30 days period, that should add up to 18,000 calories, That should lose you 5 pounds.
I am not suggesting that you're not sticking to it, but I personally find that I have the problem of underestimating how much I am exactly eating. I suspect you might have the same problem. The only accurate way of tracking calories is to use a food scale. It helps to make sure you are on point for calorie counting. I am not advocating calorie counting but since you are stating it, I assume you are and I am thinking I can help.
An example of how easy it is to miscalculate, let's say you think you are eating a 180g steak, which gives you about 480 calories. When in actual fact it's sliced thicker and is at 250g. It's hard to tell visually, and the 70g difference is like 2 more mouthful. But 250g is at 680 calories. Which is another 200 calories.
I also have a problem with cashews. I had always thought that a handful of cashews are like 20 grams and I have been consuming that, thinking that it's like 100 calories and recorded as such. Only when I used a food scale did I realise I was consuming like 45 grams (large hands, greedy me and cashews were big and roasted). And based off the label on the pack, I realised I was consuming 250 calories.
Then say you have 3 glasses of wine (5 fl oz) and that's about 120 calories per glass for a total of 360 calories. You might over pour and end up with a slightly fuller glass, say 7 fl oz. That difference over 3 glasses will work out to another 150 calories.
So 200 calories there, 150 calories here and then 150 more in the liquids, I was up 500 calories from what I thought I was consuming. I was recording everything I ate and drank. But each estimation can go very wrong. Food scale is important. It's the only way.
