How'd everyone go? Jey don't worry because you did lots of exercise which lays down all that helpful muscle for fat melting in the future.
My result this week was a bit disappointing given substantial effort. To be fair though I've lost 1.0kg in 3 weeks. It just felt really tough and you know how it is - no visible rewards yet. In fact my face has broken out in acne. Not fair!
Good luck everyone for next week.0 -
@jm216 and @71lmf , thank you so much for the encouragement!
@cjdalla , don't worry - weight loss goes in fits and starts, not steady decreases! I bet you'll see a big improvement next week and be really proud of yourself then. In the meantime, be proud of sticking to your goals and working hard!
For myself, it turns out I was right and my weight has gone up. Not by much (0.4 lbs), but combined with feeling like my body has changed, I don't want that trend to continue. I also don't want to go back to (possible) undereating, though, so my plan for this week is:
- Set my limit at 1200 calories (instead of the 1000 of before) and come in under every day
- Don't eat back exercise calories, because I'm already raising my limit instead
- Keep doing a lunchtime couch-to-5K run every weekday
- Keep doing at least half an hour of other exercise every day (except today)
- Keep a close eye on my physical feelings and my mood to see how things are working!

Ok friends,
I'm starting a 30 day exercise challenge today. Join me if you'd like!
My goal is to add at least 10 minutes of some form of exercise above and beyond walking my dog. Today it's yoga....

I'll join! I'll fit in ten extra minutes of exercise each day above and beyond what I already do (so my regular things won't count). Sounds fun - and manageable, which is key!
Today, my ten minutes was jogging in place (boring, but convenient) and I've just done it!1 -
My goal is to never get off the wagon. I've missed getting back on the wagon, and have been stuck for 15 years. 15 wasted unhealthy stagnant years.0

Welcome Judy! You've found your place now. We're all here for each other.
Yesterday I didn't fit in my 10 minutes of extra exercise, so I'll squeeze it in today....
Happy Monday, my friends....time to walk the dog in the fog.

Hi Jill!
I once lost 40lb - gained back 20lb. I'm back to lose that gain and more. I know what went wrong, and I'm not going to let it happen again. We can do this!1 -

So glad I'm not the only one! I felt bad having missed it on literally the second day of the challenge. Planning to do 20 extra minutes this afternoon to make up for it, though!ZombieLauren wrote: »I once lost 40lb - gained back 20lb. I'm back to lose that gain and more.

Hi Folks. Thanks for the words of encouragement Jeyradan.
Guess what? I joined a running group. Well out of my comfort zone. I'm naturally shy. Its something I thought only cool fit people did but it was great. Just a beginners group but we ran for 40 minutes. Lovely people and a good coach.
I am finished with the crying over the scales stage so now I want to help other people push through.
It is about consistency. Some days you don't feel motivated to you have to just do it. The hard work might take a couple of weeks to show up but it will show up. The other thing is if you blow out, forgive yourself and treat the next day like a new day.2 -

So proud of you! It's about enjoying yourself along the journey, and doing things that make you stronger both physically and mentally.2 -
The excuses have been winning - time to buckle down1

Yeh buckle down for sure. But don't beat yourself up. Think about the new you that's just around the corner.
Thanks jm216. I am so happy to have made a change in my life. It took 3 weeks to start feeling even slightly better but I am so glad that I made it to week 4 without caving.3 -
You all are awesome! Just remember that.
