    Plus teen drama in my house- led to over eating ( and drinking).

    Thanks for the update @emilymaya16!

    Sounds like you're doing great! And I think it's very noble of you to not step on the scale! Keep up the good work!

    @Jenmarcuson the struggles are real! Tomorrow's a new day! Hope you can get back to it and be strong! ;)

    Okay ladies... I've reached that point on the scale! The number that I've never been able to get past! In all my years of dieting and weight loss attempts, I've never been able to get past 139lbs! Well, today I stepped on the scale at 139.6 - My goal: 135lbs by Christmas! I have a great feeling that I will finally do away with that number that has plagued me all these years! I have a whole new lifestyle approach to health and fitness, and this time looks and feels different. I'm so excited!

    I've been a good food logger this week which makes me happy - I've stayed close to my goals each day. Although I don't remember when I set the calories so I should go see what the weight loss goal is set at. Lol!

    Also tomorrow will be day 4 of lifting for me this week which is on plan.

    Cheers!

    ... consistency with lifting and HIIT workouts!

    Hi @ktfranke Do you do lifting weight every day? And how long is it usually for your weight training session?
    I'm currently cutting down my calories intake so I'm in. Today's my weight lifting day.

    Welcome @Ensu2017! I do weight lifting workouts four days a week, High Intensity Interval Training twice a week, and I give myself one rest day! All my workouts are usually around 30-45 minutes long, but sometimes they go longer becomes I'm trying to reach a certain level of burn. I aim for a good 200-300 calorie burn each day.

    The calorie deficit fatigue is starting to set in... for the past few days I've felt a little sluggish during my workouts. And I've even been taking naps during the day! I'm raising my calories back to from 1,500 to 1,600. And I'm hoping the extra 100 calories will give me a little more pep in my step!

    I haven't been this consistent logging and working out for ages! Feels wonderful :smiley: Staying around my calorie target and it is showing in my abs already ;) I too, am getting close to my "plateau weight". I stepped on the scale and was down 5 lbs, water weight. 5 more lbs to my goal! I truly think I can get there by Xmas!

    I'll join ☺️ i'm pretty much doing the same. I'm only 4'11 so to lose weight i have to drop to 12-1300 cals a day.i cut sugar and sweets conpletely (even started black coffee which is surprisingly not that bad). I dropped almost 4lbs just in the past 4 days. I'm still having some carbs- around 80. I would like to be down to 120 for christmas.. only about 7 to go

    You got this!! I tried the black coffee and couldn't do it. Have to have a half teaspoon sugar.
