I'm going to buy a new scale that measures body Fat %age, muscle mass etc. I'm looking at the Garmin index smart scale if anyone has one?0

I have this. Bought it from Costco and this what you usually use at the gyms. Not 100% accurate, the reading will be different depending on how much water in your body and if you ate anything before using it.
I use it as a guideline, body measurements are better.

so I'm going to crush this week....who is coming with me?
I'm finally through my super long stall and lost 2.2 pounds of new weight loss this week. yay so close to 60 pounds I can taste it!!
goals this week:
drink 3 containers of water
work out 6 times 3 farmers walks
no wheat...I repeat no wheat if you see it in my diary call me on it...just be nice:)
this last one is hard we have a mini gym at work and I am going to go down and check it out and make a plan to start using it. I'm so intimidated due to it being Co workers! no one would be mean to me. I still have 80 to 90 pounds to go and am self conciousness about that. I'm just going to do it.
I've been so focused on Christmas as a fitness goal I haven't done any shopping g or prepping lol...good and bad...Kids would say bad! better balance that.
this thread helped me get through my stall so thank you ladies!!!!

Today I had my weigh out for the challenge i entered at my gym. I wasn't even close to my goal weight but I lost almost 13lb and I am happy with that (note me saying almost 13lb rather than 12lb and change). I think I finally figured out MY formula and what works for me. Late into the challenge but I found it. I am a lot stronger, especially in my legs. My hasband says I have legs like Camille Leblanc-basinet (he is a keeper). I am going to continue eating low carb but I am getting off of keto starting tomorrow. Bit scary but I have a plan so keep your fingers crossed.1

gorilita so glad you found what is working for you! almost 13 pounds is awesome. I'd take it
I made a goal to go down to my work gym and I did yesterday and nobody was in there... it was 30 minutes before quiting tine but still. they had lots of free weigjts, a treadmill,bike,eliltical,rower and what I was really interested in was 3 weight machines one was a legpress dont know what the other two are called. so part b is too come up with a plan. I hike at lunch so unless it's raining not too interested in cardio.
any tips on starting with the weight machines?
ps I skipped hubby's bday cake yesterday...well a had a bite instead of a piece.0 -

Congrats on weight loss and most important finding the right formula that works for you.
If you count net carb you'll be in keto. If you just count low carb as is you won't be in keto.

Sweet. What type of bike? Is it the race type? I recommend bike it will help you lose weight in the lower body.
Leg press is good just don't over load it and don't lock the knees. Watch videos on YouTube first.
Find out the names of the other 2 machines.0 -
Ah Epsom salt. Feels good

so I'll check it out next week..and take the bike for a spin! 0 -
Yesterday was a good day all in all. I was under my calorie goal. Macros as follows:
94g fat
32g carbs
99g protein
Had a killer workout with my trainer. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep. My muscles felt on fire from the workout. I am going to pay for it today.2 -

It's been a long time since the first time I did leg press. I would advice to use the machine without adding weights as you might find it heavy as a first time. 0 -
working lunch today...I took the inner off the sandwich and tossed the bun I didn't even look at tje desserts....good day. I will try leg press without weight.
gortilitA great day!0 -

Good morning beasts. Check out this song with video. If this song and video didn't get your tushy to the gym I don't know what will

For those who still doing the challenge. By tomorrow 11 pm I want you to pick 2 clothes (like shirt and pants) or one dress. Put it in front of you. This what you will be able to fit in by dec 24th. And I want you by tomorrow night to tell us what is it.
I'll start. I have new gym pants that still tight and must lose some body fat to be able to wear it. And I have gym tank that is a little tight too. I want to wear them in the gym this Christmas.

I created a facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1285311204847222/
If the link didn't work, search for
Fitness Challenges - 80% Diet, 20% Exercise
For those who can't be on facebook for any reason, the challenge will continue here as well and if you think you can have a fake facebook account (not in your real name and without pic) let me know. I'll keep it open for a while if no one joined or not much activity I might delete it.0 -

Sweet. That is really nice that you picked it 2 weeks.
It's funny how I found this beast video. I was looking for new song suggestions for my new class at work and I found it. I saw it many times and still love it.0 -
Great idea. I have a pair of goal pants I have been shrinking into. Hopefully by dec 24th I will not only be able to zip them up but also comfortably sit down in them. I had a good weekend workout wise but got sloppy with food logging. Back to it.1

Also, my short term goal is to be under 190 by next Monday.2

nice goals... I find the goals so very important. I read in another thread no excuse November and when I went to eat something yesterday I put it back but had a bad food day!
it's Tom and I try not to use that as an excuse but I am lol. I get the low great headache and crave carbs awful one day of the month and I gave in. my calories were under but I ate 3 days worth of carbs and they were the refined variety to boot.....so lots of water today amd extra walking for me!!
hope the rest if you had a better yesterday!0 -
113g fats
132g protein
62g carbs
Had my first apple (.5) in 6 months.
Did legs and shoulders with cardio.
