Not exactly 3 lbs but half way there is better than a gain. Need to get my head back in the game this week.... Been having dinner way too late and not being able to work out after!


Goal for this week to lose will be 5 lbs.... Need to make up for that 1.6 this week and stay focused!

Week 5 - I finally bought a new scale for at home. I have been using the one at work and knew it was off but I wasn't sure how much. Adjusting numbers this week.

27th July: 133.4 (I would guess it is about a 1 lb change) I did lose more than this but the weekend kicked my butt and I gained some of it back. Weekends are very hard for me! I do really well during the week and then we plan too much on the weekends! Even this upcoming weekend I have an annual cousin get together. Which includes FOOD! Anyone else have weekend troubles?!

Slow and steady wins the race. Fit into a pair of pants this morning that I haven't worn in ages. Down 2 dress sizes since June 16th.

Need to drink more water. Biggest struggle for me. Ordered a new tumbler yesterday, maybe that will help. Trying to attach a picture of it.

I need to get back on track! I have not been logging consistently the last few weeks and have regained a few lbs and am really feeling it.

@Radory - your numbers look great to me! 10 lbs in 5 weeks!

@catereed13 - I'm really sorry, that's so sad! I agree this community is here if you need support.

Any tips on getting the body fat % to drop?

First off: Very COOL profile pic!

Okay, I'm no fitness expert, but I have heard more than one "expert" simplify things by saying, "If you want more muscle, look at your exercise. If you want less fat, look at your diet."

Everyone seems to have their own opinion on these things, but many believe that the best way to build muscle is to do weight-bearing exercises and movements that require explosive bursts of energy (jumping, sprints, burpees, HIIT, etc.) Long cardio sessions are no longer viewed as the best way to burn fat. (But personally, I say that if you enjoy long cardio, do it, because exercise should be fun.)

On the food side of the equation, again, everyone has their opinion, and the real trick is to find what works for YOU and you find sustainable. Many people find that reducing carbs, especially sugars and refined carbs helps them achieve their goals. Eat lots of whole foods, plenty of protein & healthy fats. Cut the junk and don't over-eat fruit, because of the natural sugars.

Lastly, do NOT trust My Fitness Pal's numbers for calorie burns if you are logging exercise. Their estimates are just that -- ESTIMATES. Personally, I can not eat as many calories as MFP says I can and still lose weight. Again, you will have to experiment and find what works for you and your body.

Good luck!

I am staying on task with my stopping eating early and staying lower on my calories. I am seeing changes in the mirror more than on the scale and I am AOK with that!!!
