Bad news is I gained 1.4 pounds this week. Good news is I got rid of the sling my arm was in for shoulder surgery recovery and I can go back to exercising as long as I don’t use my right arm. Hopefully, adding exercise to my clean dieting will get me back in the loss column next week.

One of the challenges that comes with exercise for me is increased appetite. However, I think eating clean will keep me fueled enough to overcome a desire to eat more calories than I burn with exercise.

20 pound total loss deserves more than a quick post of your stats. You are only 10 pounds away from this group's goal of 30 by June 15. You still have 15 weeks to get there. Great job!!!

Thank you. I've been a bit checked out of late posting wise but I'm trying to plod along in the background.

CGW 6/15/17: 186.0
GW: approx. 158.0 (based on initial goal body fat of 23%)
UGW: 18-19.5% body fat

Weight loss method: Weighing, measuring and logging all food. Ensuring I have enough protein and good fats for satiety. Kettlebell and lifting workouts. My goal is 122g of protein each day and 25g of fiber. Workouts consisting of kettlebells and lifting. I also try to incorporate HIIT and Tabata as well.

I have been super exhausted. Not sure if it's life or something else. I did just realize I have slid greatly on taking my vitamins. I started up again yesterday and am hoping it makes a difference in the next week or two.

Challenge Loss: -20.8, 69% of the way there and 9.2 to go!).

This past week's challenge: My husband has been traveling and just general fatigue. I took over a week off from working out and I think that actually made me feel worse.

This past week's successes: Solid logging even when I didn't want to on certain days.

My upcoming week: Currently out-of-town starting today and through the weekend for my son's basketball tournament. It's a National tournament, so it's very exciting and a very big deal. Despite that, I am worried about the food choices. I may use IF to keep things in control. There is also a gym about 2 miles away from the hotel, so I'm thinking I'll have time to hit the gym at least once. I'm also willing to to BW routines in the hotel room, and the hotel has a with cardio equipment and dumbells. My husband is traveling. Again. This week it's 4 out 5 days, which means I'll have to be sure I keep my sleep in order, because that's the first thing to go, usually.

Sorry for such inconsistent weigh-ins! I've still been keeping up with everyone's progress, and everyone is doing great!! I can't wait to see where we are all at in June!

For the past three-ish weeks, I was having a hard time losing. My progress had slowed down a lot, and I felt like I was just maintaining, even though I was still eating at a deficit and exercising nearly every day. After some research and listening to some podcasts, I realized there was a chance I wasn't eating enough calories (I was eating about 200 less calories than what MFP set as my goal), and I definitely wasn't drinking as much water as I should have been. I increased my calories and water intake, and the weight started dropping again! Now I just have to figure out a way to add in some more strength training throughout the week to help create more muscle to replace the fat!

Hi there, I've not been doing well lately. Ready to get back on track. This challenge will bring me almost exactly to my goal weight. So count me in.

TOTAL LOSS SO FAR: 13.6

New to this thread, but I have my stats from the beginning of the year! Excited to make some June goals and cheer on each other to meeting them!

My strategy focuses on insulin. Insulin acts like a road block on your fat cells and determines whether you store vs burn the food you eat. So my entire focus is on manipulating my insulin levels to keep them low. I follow a pseudo-keto diet (zero sugar, grains, pasta, rice, potatoes... but unlike keto, I don't restrict my veggies if they push me over the cab limit). I also occasionally fast and use intermittent fasting to deplete my glycogen stores and boost metabolism/growth hormone, especially if I know I'm about to attend a social event, etc., where my carb intake might be a little higher or out of my control. I also keep my fat intake relatively high to help promote satiety.

I've dieted my entire life and the calorie-in-calorie-out thing doesn't work for me (my body is very sensitive to calorie fluctuations and instead of losing weight, I just suddenly get super cold and my metabolism decreases, while my weight stays the same... probably due to years of metabolic derangement and extreme eating habit yo-yo's). So although I sometimes count them when I remember, they're con't carry much weight to me. More important is what my body does with them: store or burn. Which is determined by hormones. (And also why some people, especially guys, can eat massive amounts of food and not gain weight.)

I work out about 2-5 times per week (depends on how busy/overwhelmed I am), because I enjoy it and want to get stronger, but I don't stress over missing a workout if I can't. My workouts consist of a warm up cardio followed by weight training. I'm chronically sleep deprived, which is a problem, but every now and then I get a free weekend and sleep for hours and hours -- always results in a big WOOSH on the scale!!!

In addition to MFP, I also LOVE dietbet (dot com), and have won $82.87 in profit this year. Woohoo!!!
