    Hey everyone....Feeling great about fitness lately (love lifting and running and have made it a habit). But I can't seem to get the food correct.

    I start out great. I record everything and make good choice but then the dinner comes and it all goes to crap. Wanting to lose 20-30 lbs but not lose some of the muscle/fitness gains I have made in the past year.

    Started Keto yesterday.

    Goal of <30g of carbs and about 150-175g of protein; ~80g fat. Just bought caliper to see body fat. Still going to drink a beer or two on the weekends.

    Goal is to lose fat without losing some fitness gains (strength and cardio) that I am proud of making in the past year.

    This is basically my routine as well! I started the whole keto diet on Monday. Tried to run 4 miles today (non-lifting day). I felt like total crap. Will try to take some salts (K and Mg mainly - I think I get enough Na). Tomorrow is another day.

    Let me tell you, when you do an 8 1/2 shift of pure cleaning. THEN you hit the gym it is hard work. I know I am going to feel the soreness tomorrow. 15 pounds left to lose for my first mini goal! A half sleeve.

    A lot's happened since my last "daily check-in". Oops.

    Well and truly hit my goal, the 35kg (appx 77 lbs) I wanted to lose has been lost, so I am BMI normal. I'll find out in a couple of weeks exactly what fat percent I am when I get my next DEXA scan. I've stopped actively losing weight, and I'm now training at the gym to start building some muscle to fill in the loose skin.

    And at the weekend I did my first ever triathlon; 400m swim, 18km bike, 4km run. I finished, and finished under the 1 hour 30 mins that I set as a target. I am seriously happy to have achieved that!

    Today was a pretty good day. Work sucked but the actual work part wasn't as bad as normal. I'm hoping to hit the gym later to make up for not working as much at work.

    Do u guys perhaps have any ideas about a sore back ?

    @Helga5200: Sorry I don't know much about back pain but I hope your's improves soon. Can you check with your doctor about it?

    @vollans: That is fantastic! Congrats! How long did you have to train for it?

    Happy workouts to all!

    Hello there! I haven't been on in quite a while and thought I'd check in. Feel free to add me! I'm here for whatever you need... friendship, support, motivation or if you need someone to talk to. I joined Weight Watchers and bought a fitbit, so I'm checking in there a lot now. I love that we have this group <3

    Hey guys. New here also. I am a student studying wildlife management, I am learning to run sled dogs, I'm an outdoor enthusiast, I'm happily engaged, aaand I have like 97lbs to lose til I'm at my goal but, like, 54 to drop for this year's goal. I've lost 23lbs so far from my heaviest and I'm really happy about that.

    Um so my day was okay. Fiancée got her car stuck in the drive way somehow so I was up at 4a to get her into work before class til 5. Got home and just devoured everything BUT because I had a calorie deficit yesterday I'm still good for the weekly totals. Macros are screwed but... Eh. I'm usually a saint about my macros. And it's cold as balls out with nasty wind so I have been out as little as possible. 2lbs down today though!

    @umpteenthtimesacharm gotta add someone who had a dog in their profile... Just just kinda how my world works haha.

    @helga5200 I've acutely had a spot on my spine that needs to be cracked so I suppose, yes, I've been having back issues. I've been trying for the past week to pop it cause I can feel it's not aligned right but no luck

    Today I did a half hour on the elliptical. I wanted to do a run/walk for another 30min but the indoor track was too crowded. I hate crowds. Excuses. Excuses. But I promised myself I'll do it first thing tomorrow when the track is far less crowded.

    Came home to find my partner has made homemade pizza dough for dinner. Must exert willpower. Must exert willpower :smile:

    Laughing Dog, that was my Lucy girl. She was an SPCA special -- I always guessed she was a shepherd/collie cross. I had her for 13 years and she was an awesome dog. We don't currently have any dogs but hope to in the future. I have an acquaintance who races sled dogs. It looks like hard work but fun. How many dogs do you have?

    Happy workouts to all.
