Gen: I went out as well. Felt pretty miserable, but it was a chance to hang out with a friend who's about to move away. Anyway, I'm already back down to the weight I was before I went out.
Intermittent fasting kind of sucks, but I'm staying strong.0 -
G01: that's great you went out and got your weight right back down!
Gen: sounds like a lot of going out, but you've been doing so well! Maybe some exercise can earn you some wine this weekend
I have been pretty much on target the past couple days with calories so I'm hoping to be happy with my weigh in this weekend! However I am visiting my mom this tomorrow and will have to resist some junk food there...0 -
Gen: good luck this weekend - there's always room for one or two glasses of wine, I think
So I killed it today at lifting - more than made up for my laziness during my workout yesterday. I was completely certain that I was over by a fair amount because I was snacking before work (5-9 with no dinner break, so it's pretty necessary, sigh) but when I synced my Fitbit after I came home and had dinner I found I was under goal by about 30. I feel like a genius getting that close just by chance.
Exercise: Stronglifts
Logged everything: yes
Met goal: yes0 -
Yeah, so friday was bad, very very bad. Today wasn't fantastic either as I didn't exercise as my 20month old is sick and I went over again. But friday? %$Q#^%^$
Probably screwed the whole week tbh! Bring on monday....

Sorry to hear that, Kiwi. I hope your little one is doing all right. It sucks going over but everything isn't ruined - next week will be better, I'm sure :flowerforyou:0
-
Fingers crossed Kiwi you have a better week next week :flowerforyou:
I am a not happy Jan. Friday went over with calories- went out- but exercised so not too bad- up 200grams. Yesterday within calories, exercised and drank more water. I did go out but calories still in check. This morning up 500grams! My legs feel like concrete and my body is sore- I was hoping the scales would be good today but wasn't to be!
Bring on tomorrow! :grumble:0 -
Don't worry, Betty! It'll be swollen muscles/water retention from the exercising! Give it a couple of days, and you'll see if all vanish
Hiding from the scales for a few days :P0 -
Thanks Kiwi I sure hope so!!!0
-
@Betty, I agree with Kiwi - I think fluctuations of a few hundred grams are pretty normal
Decent day for me yesterday - morning run was difficult as it was really humid but I made it most of the way through. I very nearly had a cheat day when my dad made margaritas and my sister made ice cream, but at the last minute I pulled back - I had 3 margaritas and a scoop of ice cream (er, logged for today instead :bigsmile: ) but I actually managed to stay at goal.
Oh, and I happened to be trawling Kijiji and found a pair of 25 lb barbell weights for $5, so I'm pretty happy about that!0 -
NIce find, Cody!
I spent last evening being lazy and eating too much peanut butter.
Back on track now, though! 0 -
Coady--glad you enjoyed margaritas and still stayed in your calories!
Kiwi--a sick toddler will definitely screw up a diet--I understand, my youngest is two. We have to give ourselves a break and accept maybe weight loss will be slower while we are dealing with young kids. As long as we keep trudging forward and don't give up!
I went WAY over yesterday, so was relieved that my weekly weigh in this morning at least showed a .5 pound loss and no gain. I have to do better now though, vacation is over!0 -
Ahhh, I decided to be honest and just log the ice cream as part of yesterday after all - so I was about 100 up. Today did pretty well considering we were having pizza for dinner (homemade, but still) and it was a rest day.
Exercise: Worked 8 hours, otherwise no.
Logged everything: yes
Met goal: over by about 500 -
@Dana, My little girl is 20months still sick, but we're getting there!
@Coady My husband loves making pizza!! It's so easy to stack up cals!!!
@G01den I love peanut butter...
Going alright today, need to burn 78cals some how.. wondering if my little one is well enough to walk to the park... Or might just stick her in the carrier and go buy some apples... lol
Ok, just did t25 might still walk but save those cals!
Need to stay on track this week!!0 -
Remembered a couple of things I ate, 64 over. Grrr, want to get back to the gym! Damn sickness!0
-
Over by 72 cals today. I have a nasty cold so no workout today. I agree Kiwi damn cold:huh:0
-
I'm not nearly as hungry as I used to be. I bought two eggs and a granola bar for breakfast. Ate one egg, sipped some coffee, and I feel quite full.0

Hey all
I missed lots on the weekend!!!
I hope everyone's doing well!
We had a nice weekend at the cottage. I was semi-good but it paid off as I lost 1lb from Friday to this morning? Oh well! Maybe its also because I didn't drink as much water as I usually do at work. We'll see tomorrow if I go up a little I pack my breakfasts at least for the cottage because I know the grand parents like to treat the boys to pancakes on Saturday mornings!!! I also feel better if I stay away from them.
So today, food and logging! My back is still not good for working out I'll try a run tonight and see how that goes. Very light though! 0 -
Good luck with your run Gen! This week is normal routine so I want to get some good weight loss in. My only calorie burn today is a 45 minute walk with a stroller, so that doesn't earn me much-- and I am going to a playgroup this afternoon where I will be tempted by snacks. I plan to be good!0
-
I'm terrible when surrounded by food! Toddlers are bad, grandparents are worse!
9 over, no exercise, sick.
Apparently a fever burns 7% of bmr for every degree!0 -
Hi all
Gen the cottage sounds lovely!
Dana- how did you get on at play group? Did you avoid temptation?
Kiwi I too are sick- not fun at all! I hope you feel better soon :flowerforyou:
Calories in check
No beer
No alcohol- I really am sick :laugh:
No exercise though... Still can't drop to the lowest so far 58.2 stuck on 58.8 hope it changes soon!0 -
kiwi: OMG grandparents!!!!!!!!!! I totally agree, they're the worst!
bettyboag: good job on the no beer!
Well I am taking another effing week off lifting (DAMN!!!) so I am really miserable. And I didnt go for a run last night it was raining and I had a massage scheduled for my back. Which felt like heaven. I wish I had booked her for 3 hours, not just 1. hahaha!
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Kiwi & Betty, I hope you are both feeling better soon!
Gen, sorry to hear your back is still acting up - jealous of your massage though :P
Yesterday:
Exercise: Stronglifts and 8 hours working
Logged everything: yes
Met goal: yes
Today is looking good so far. Didn't have a great run this morning - I waited for a break in the rain but it didn't cool the air down at all, so I felt like I was running in a sauna while somebody threw sand at me - blech. I'm definitely going to have to repeat week 4, I'm barely able to get through the 5 minute intervals even taking 30 second breaks. Hopefully it will be less humid next week so I can power through.
Spent some time this morning planning out my meals for the week - I'm taking over cooking duties 5 days a week so there will be fewer surprises, which should help me stay on track.0 -
CoadyMarie: don't give up!!!!!! I found that after the 5 mins barrier, I could go on without stopping and it felt better than to stop and go all the time. The first 5 to 10 minutes are always the worst (even now that I can run 45-60 mins non stop) and after that everything seems to "settle".. my breathing pattern is stable, and i venture off in my thoughts. Keep going you are doing great, although running in a sauna while getting sand thrown at sounds very horrible :noway:0
-
So, I did eat one small blonde brownie at playgroup, and because I had very little exercise was 100 calories over for yesterday. However I can go a couple hundred over and still get decent predicted weight loss when I click on "complete" for the day, Also, when I calculate my TDEE online I get an estimate if 300 calories more then the number I am using from MFP settings. So anyway 100 extra calories shouldn't ruin me!
Going for a run or a swim today I think so that will help!
Coady, I guess you are new to running? I started with a slow 15 minute run and went by the rule if adding 10% to either time or distance each week. No I can run 50 min without stopping. Keep at it!
Feel better Kiwi and Betty!0 -
@Betty, we're almost the same weight! I just got to 59 this morning :happydance:
How tall are you?
Hating being sick!!! Missed 3 gym days in a row and missed my physio
@gen, is your back still bad? Grr. Have you thought of getting it looked at?
@Coady, Is there a treadmill you could use for the really hot days?
I definitely agree that once you're properly warmed up and in the zone it gets so much easier!!! But the heat... blegh!!!
I keep getting stitch lately though
@Dana What cals are you eating atm?
As for me, I reached my top end final goal (want to be between 57-59kg and I got to 59), so at the end of this week I get to add 100cals and go from there! Plan is, each kg from here on out I add another 100cals till I plateau and boost my metabolism

Hi Kiwi, I'm 157cms and you? I'm a duck :laugh:0
-
163! I'm not tall either
Perfect day today. But then my fever came up and I had chocolate cake and ice cream....0 -
Taller than me- but that's not hard :laugh:
I am going to try a weight watchers ice cream 125 calories- sounds yummy. I also had a bulla sherbert fruit pop 27 calories which was went down very well for so little calories! I exercised today and calories in check. Night air has arrived so feeling a bit heavy in the head. Have a great night everyone :happy:0 -
Thanks for the motivation, everyone yes, I am new to running, only started at the beginning of July. Unfortunately there isn't a gym close to me, I just need to get up earlier to beat the heat
Yesterday:
Exercise: C25K week 4 day 2
Logged everything: yes
Met goal: yes
@Kiwi and Betty, so funny, we are all so similar - I am 58.5 kg and 158 cms (yay shorties)0 -
I converted my numbers to kg and cm, and I am 160cm and 60.3 kg. So another shorty here!
Kiwi--I will be curious to see how it goes with your plan of increasing your metabolism! I am always afraid to increase my calories. For my calories I use MFP's rec of 1280, and I earn about 250-300 per day exercising and I eat all those, so I am eating about 1550 per day(when I don't go over!). What about you? I started a thread in this group of deciding your calorie goal. Congrats on losing weight, with the tough week you have had!
Coady--running in the heat is hard, It might also help to wear water packs on your waist.
I did not go over my calories yesterday 0
