Good luck, Sarah! Looking forward to seeing your progress.

I'm 5'4"
I am planning to do M W F stronglifts at the gym at school, but lately I have arrived too late and the power cages are occupied. I need to make some sort of alternate lifting program to use on machines if that happens, instead of just skipping for the day. It doesn't work well to switch out with the men at the racks because I lift so drastically lower amounts than they do, most of the time I could spend lifting would be swapping plates out between us.
Tu-Th I like to run on the indoor track during lunch. I do the couch 2 5 k program on my phone, but it is already become an intense struggle and I am only on week 2. I am a bad runner, but even if I don't stick to the c25k I really want to keep trying to run anyhow.
This week my schedule got filled up with unexpected lab sessions, instructor meetings, and other important school bits. I'm trying to think of just planning an empty time to fill up with unexpecteds, or keep pushing workouts to the side?
tuesday I ate poorly but did my planned workout
wednesday I also ate poorly but I worked out as planned
thursday I ate ok but skipped workout
today I ate ok and not sure if will workout0 -
I ended up working out yesterday, so 50% on target so far (4 days in)0

Noticing that even on my 'worst' days I still break even at maintenance.
I prepped some meats today for the next couple days of lunches. I keep messing up, but I keep trying, too.0 -
Today marks 7 days. 1 week into the 8 weeks!
I weighed myself this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see a loss of about 2lbs. Guessing the majority of that is from junky food and water retention but still, the number goes down
I was 157.2
now 154.80 -
Yay Sarah!0

wonderful progress, Sarah!0 -
Beginning; 157.2
Week 1: 154.8
Week 2: 150.2
An astounding loss of 4.6 pounds this week. Confiding I ate about 2000 cals a day this surprises me to no end. I also tried to incorporate more vegetables. I walked everywhere I could on campus, which really adds up. I hope to continue to see losses but at the rate it is going now ... I just don't know what the heck is happening!0 -
Amazing progress! Congrats!0

Kicking *kitten* Sarah!0

adding extra walking around can really make a big difference. Great progress!0

I was confused about the massive weight drop in a short time, and now it explains itself. I think it was partially a fluke, and partially me being lame and eating a little over maintenance every day for the past week. That is no way to lose weight!0 -
Keep at it!!0
-
Do you just take one weekly measurement, or do you keep a eye on things more regularly?0
-
During the week I kind of look at the scale, sometimes midday, sometimes fully clothed, so I have an idea. I didn't the second week (the 4.6lb loss) and it was probably just a fluke day that I can't compare to any others. I don't often weigh in daily anymore because it is a pain to get dressed, go to scale, get undressed, get dressed again now that we have a roommate. When it was just me and my guy I didn't have that issue.
I'm really focused on making this week better.0 -
Personally, i go to the bathroom first thing just in a towel and take my measurements, i dont log them, but it helps me keep perspective. If yesterday was my weigh in, i weighed 77.7kg in the morning (ate a lot the night before) This morning, for doing cardio and eating less, im 76.3kg, my leanest weigh in to date. Spot point weigh ins arent representetive, and you should really be using the mirror as your primary measurement device IMO.0

Feel good about this week. Told myself no more candy bars and much less sugar in general. I still eat items with added sugar, but I am trying very hard to severely limit them.0 -
well done!0

A gain, but still better than 157 so I'm not too worried.0 -
Another gain this week. I had no self control.
I'm going to continue to update this for the remaining 8 weeks, then start anew. But the rest of these 8 weeks, from tomorrow's weigh in on, will be awesome.
That is all I am allowing.
(tomorrow's weigh in will be rather nasty, though, as the scale this afternoon showed 161) :indifferent:0
