9/5-185.7- no workout day
9/6-184.3
97-186.4
9/8-187- well this is super annoying. Could one ice cream cone and 300 calories over my daily goal for the first time in weeks really do this??
Going to be a major sweat fest workout today to see if that will help get back down.. Grrrr.

I put on a workout top that I haven’t worn in a couple of years and it was so loose! And long! It’s funny how things get longer because they have less ground to cover haha. I felt great, but then I went to a Pilates class and saw myself in a mirror and compared myself to the other people in the class and felt fat all over again. Boooo. But I’m over it now.
@HappyDonkey75 ok so you experience the same thing with alcohol? Scale goes up even when it’s within calorie budget? Nice to know I’m not the only one. I might look into low calorie non alcoholic wines. I just love a glass of wine with the radio on when I’m cooking.

Hi Everyone,
I’m new. Not even sure how to post. Hope this goes ok.
I had a knee replacement less than two weeks ago. My goal is to:
Maintain my weight
Do physical therapy religiously
Log everything I eat every day.
My starting weight is 179.2 however, there is a lot going on with my body right now. Swelling and taking medications until EOM that I usually don’t take. So I’m not sure how accurate that weight is. I won’t focus to much on it.
I’m looking forward to getting know all of you😊2 -

This is likely cycle-related. So over this. This will be fluctuating for a bit.
@hryan4666 Welcome to the group. I hope you're on the mend! However you decide to record things is fine, but you can look back at previous posts to get an idea of what formats people are using. This is your journey, so you do you.
Happy Monday, everyone. Have a great week ahead.

Well after reading a bunch of reviews I bought some non alcoholic red wine. It wasn’t great. But it definitely satisfied the craving for the little ritual of a glass of wine with the radio on while cooking. And at 45 calories for an 8 ounce glass I’m overall pretty happy with it.

@hryan4666 - welcome !
@dannytrees1 - BBQ.. well worth the uptick..
@canadamarie - nope your not the only one on the wine thing causing an increase even when its within the calorie allotment. I haven't bothered with the nonalchoholic wine. So far my desire for wine hasn't really been an issue but I am also on GLP meds so that has killed alot of cravings for me. Unfortunately I am still not a fast "loser" like so many on the meds.

I haven't been actively trying hard. Just keeping up with a slightly lighter routine but feeling tired anyway. The thing is, my weight has stagnated for about 10 days now. Since the beginning of the month till now, I have not moved the needle. I did want to slow down but didn't think it was going to stop. Well, I just realised that the next mini goal is 85.8KG and I am like 2 days away! I guess I will try harder the next 48 hours so as not to slip this goal!

Thoughts on nutrition...
Curious if anyone else here is working with a nutrition coach? I have questions! Mine is saying that I won't get consistency in my loss until I stay within 5-10 grams of my macro goals and I should be logging my meals ahead of time. I struggle with this concept . Is the accuracy really that influential?
I do meal plan and meal prep for dinners but otherwise I just try to eat with protein in mind first, then fiber, then carbs and then fat.. Sometimes I only get to within 200 grams of protein. How are others doing with their macros/calories/etc. Are you finding that your accurate most days and is that reflected in the scale?
Overall, I am not in the best frame of mind right now. We just lost a friend on Sunday who left this world much to early. Her kids are all grown but she was the glue for sure. It just hit hard how short our time on earth can be. She will be missed by many. My Parents here until end of month then they head home around that time so my dad can have his surgery. Time is a thief so I am trying to remember I won't have them forever. However, its been rough . I work remotely from my home and not used to all the added activity.
I am trying to set boundaries when needed but it doesn't seem to be well received. I can just say this. The old saying that says "once an adult, twice a child" in reference to the elderly is 100% true. They both act like children when you tell them no.

@HappyDonkey75, I am sorry for your loss. With regards to parents, accord them the understanding that they accorded you when you were a child to them.
I don't have a paid nutrition coach, but I know a nutritionist who I sponge free advice from. After every discussion we have on nutrition, the parting shot is always down to one word, Moderation. For the macros, I won't sweat it too much. Get it roughly right. You are on the right track and priority you have accorded is spot on, with protein taking first priority.
If you are 6 feet tall and 170 pounds and trying to recompose from 15% to 10% bodyfat, yes, track all macros down to a T. Because putting on 8.5 pounds of muscle and losing 8.5 pounds of fats requires science and accuracy. But you are at 184 and just want to dirty cut without caring about BF, then screw the brain tax having to track macros to within 5 grams. I'd fire your nutritionist for this advice. Life is more than 10 fries, which you won't remember ever having (or not having) at your deathbed.
I am personally trying to dirty cut. I don't want to care too much about macros except that I want to ensure a calorie deficit. I am have rough guidelines for myself and as long as my day meets all the below criteria, I am good:
1. Eat as much protein rich foods as I can.
2. Eat only incidental carbs that comes with foods that I eat, never intentionally eating bread or rice
3. Try to minimise fats by removing skin and avoiding fried foods
4. Below 1,800 calories4 -

Started a modular online course this week which lasts three terms. Spent most of yesterday on week 1 – definitely going to keep me busy and cut down on the snacking possibilities.
@HappyDonkey75 - condolences on the loss of your friend and the tough time you're facing with your parents. Next time they complain about their stay, I hope you'll let them know you won't be offended if they decide to go back home earlier than planned.
Take care of yourself.

THANK YOU.. that is sort of where my brain wants to go. I want to reduce body fat and increase muscle but I am not bodybuilder , nor do I have goals of such. It feels like she is being way too nit picky and adding more stress than I need at this point. I am sticking to 1500 calories . Some days I only make it to 1200 and like you, intentionally not consuming carbs . Unfortunately, she is a friend , of sorts, more of an acquaintance. I agreed to do her 3 month pilot guinea pig nutrition program)
I am personally trying to dirty cut. I don't want to care too much about macros except that I want to ensure a calorie deficit. I am have rough guidelines for myself and as long as my day meets all the below criteria, I am good:
I am not familiar with the term Dirty Cut? but now I am going to google that.
1. Eat as much protein rich foods as I can.
2. Eat only incidental carbs that comes with foods that I eat, never intentionally eating bread or rice
3. Try to minimise fats by removing skin and avoiding fried foods
4. Below 1,800 calories
Thanks again.. logical insight.. I appreciate that..3 -
All,
Finally got the motivation to join this amazing thread after spending the last week reading the August one.
GOAL FOR END OF SEPTEMBER: 182 lbs
NEW GOAL FOR END OF SEPT: 175 lbs
GOAL FOR END OF DECEMBER:160 lbs
1st Sept: 187 lbs
2nd Sept: 185.5 (water weight I’m sure)
3rd Sept 184.5 lbs
4th Sept: 184 lbs (I think this is the last of the water weight now)
5th Sept 182.8 lbs
6th Sept: 182!!! 5 lbs down and have met my initial goal for the month! I have been eating clean and drinking 2 litres of water every day and I have noticed that I’m also not bloated anymore. I am excited to continue the month and see if I can beat 175 lbs 🤞🏼
7th Sept: 181.2 am sooo close to breaking into the 170’s!!!
8th Sept: 181 I had a really late lunch/dinner yesterday and I think that has impacted the scales this morning. On the positive side I hit 10,000 steps yesterday so I’m really happy about that. I have lunch out today meeting friends at a restaurant so am expecting that to show on the scales tomorrow.
9th Sept: 182 lbs - as expected post resturant weight gain. I’m not worried as I now it will even out throughout the week.
10th Sept: 181.3 lbs - slowly heading on the right direction. My weight does seem to be hovering at this point for a few days now. I hit about 5,500 steps yesterday and ate clean so am happy with that. I really want to break into the 170’s!!!!
11th Sept: 181.4 lbs 😭😭😭
12th Sept: 180.6 lbs - finally seeing some downward movement on the scales. Actually got 10,000 steps and ate my full 1600 calorie allowance yesterday so maybe a combination of both helped 🤩

Hey everyone
I’m new here. I was looking for motivation and came across this thread. It’s great to read everyone’s shares and goals.
My current weight is 182.4lbs
I’d like to be 170lbs before the end of September and I wanted somewhere to write it down to make me feel more accountable.
My plan is 5 day’s resistance training, and 5 days 1hr cardio. I seem to be managing the food control ok, but as I loose weight, I really don’t want to look like my skin is hanging off the bones if you get my drift- eventually I’d like to have exercise as a consistent part of my life and routine, it makes me feel better- but I do struggle with the motivation and consistency 🙃
I have never been the ideal BMI for someone of my height (5.3), not even as a teenager- it would be nice to at least get to 140lbs 😬 - I’m hoping that doesn’t sound so crazy…
Look forward to checking in and reading more about your journeys.2 -
Heaviest Weight: 221 | First Goal Weight: 165 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 140
September Goal: Get as close to 200 as possible | Exercising 6 days a week
Previous Info:Hi, I'm a 50+ yo married female, 5'6", and I’m making changes to get out of the Obese category, to look good in my clothing, and to have confidence in public again. I'm not making this a race - I'm doing this at my pace. This year has given me a few challenges - but I'm still working toward weight loss goals. ✨

@Yemelia3 Welcome! I hope you find this thread works for both the motivation and accountability. Wishing you the best!
@SofaKween I have a couple of online courses that keep me busy through lunch and at least one evening, plus follow up Zoom calls, and yes, it does keep me at my desk and helps cut down on snacking. I also take extra water with me (I mix flavored seltzer with filtered water), so I have all the drinks in my office and don't wander down to the kitchen. I hope you enjoy your course!
@HappyDonkey75 I am so sorry for your loss. When we lost a friend that was our age several years ago, it knocked us sideways for a bit. It seems especially cruel when someone leaves at a younger age.
I wish I knew some secret to handling difficult aging parents. Can you threaten to ground them, or take away their TV/phone privileges?
Have a great Thursday, everyone!
