Actually packed my ish for a move this upcoming weekend. But i also got dinner with a friend that i'm going to miss dearly. There were a lot of feels

Friend took me to a vegan restaurant for lunch yesterday... behaved myself with my entree order but succumbed to a decadent dessert (cashew pudding, who knew?) No idea what I was eating but weight is flat since yesterday, so no long term damage LOL.

I've never had cashew pudding but cashew ice cream is crazy good. I don't think it's possible to make cashews bad, everything should be cashews.

I much prefer sunflower seed butter or coconut butter, and coconut milk, to cashew anything.

I am still going here. Have been entering my eating into this place since March 31 - quite a stretch. Almost done with Stage 1 of NROL4W; rather pleased with myself for keeping with it. The scale hasn't shifted much which is annoying, and it would likely be better if I could not weigh myself so often, but it's a hard habit for me. I have lost about 3 pounds this month, which is good, I suppose, especially after it not moving much at all in April.

It seems reasonable that my body is changing given the weight training and that it might show in ways other than the scale. I have a long history of disordered thinking about weight/body stuff, sort of an eating disorder NOS type thing, so it's hard not to focus on the scale.

Just have to remember that this is a journey and it's more than just numbers on the scale or on my clothes.

I was introduced to cashew ice cream yesterday, which is very very bad. The good news is that it is marginally healthier than Ben and Jerry's...

I've been slacking the last couple of weeks as far as logging goes and I'm kind of afraid to weigh myself. I've kept up my exercise routine surprisingly well, though.

I pulled a muscle in my chest a couple of weeks ago (add that to the list of reasons why binding sucks) and it is taking its sweet time to recover completely. It has been interestingn to see which exercises are the ones that actually aggravate it. For instance, I can do a chest press and it won't bother me, but I tried to do tricep dips and it felt like someone was trying to cleave my chest open.

Hi everyone! Today was pretty good, I actually enjoy resistance training these days. It's starting to get really cold where I live so I'm making warm meals like lentils and oats, which is nice. I've had some bad days this month and I'm worried I won't meet my goal for this month, but I can only move forward and be patient I guess. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow

Everyone eats more when it gets colder; don't beat yourself up about it, it happens! Good luck to ya.

I had a good day, running and weight lifting and spending quality time outside in the sun. Weight-wise I've gone up, but I think much of it is muscle (yay!) plus hormonal fluctuations (boo!). I haven't been very consistent with exercise but I've definitely bulked up (as much as estrogen-producing bodies can), so that's exciting

Hi all .. New to this (so bear with me!) .. I have lost 9.1kg (that's about 20lbs) of my 18kg goal and an hoping this group and new friends will re-motivate me for the next 1/2 of my journey.. My partner of 15+ yrs is MTF Trans and while she is very supportive she is also 20kg (like 45lbs) lighter so on a very different journey .. Am looking forward to checking in with you to help encourage and share our journeys!!

Good morning. I'm new to this group, but can always use a tip or a hand, or some support. I'm doing my best to do this on my own, I have words of support from my daughter and partner, but I haven't even told anyone else really that I am doing anything. I do the gym and monitor calories, though recently discovered that I was doing that wrong so I am changing things starting yesterday to make sure that I don't eat back the deficit of calories burned.... Hope all are well!

Today was a good day so far...down some weight...feel good after and run and a swim yesterday just a little sore....Hoping the wind will die down for my bike ride later

Good news today: Down 6.2 lbs! So very excited to see this progress

I am down .1

Amazing, isn't it? Stop stop the applause.

Gotta start somewhere

Ugh now begins 2+ days of much sitting (18 hours of training plus two 4-hour stints driving) and little control over what I get to eat.

I had a great eating day yesterday...but as far as exercise goes it was not happening...I got home from work and was so tired I took a nap and my body did not want to get up from it...Then i went to the gym around 8pm and it was not happening at all was on the bike for 8 mintues then on the treadmill for a walk for 20 and that was about it...Today is a new day, going to run and have a strength training session all ready to go...
