Ok-This is it. The last big push till the summer starts (at least where I am). I plan on refocusing on the running to be able to up my milage and really burn some calories. I plan on eating no calories back, and making sure that I have protein 2 meals of every day. I can do anything for 1 month. Like grandma used to say-Its back to baked beans and porridge. Good luck ladies!

All right. I had to readjust my goals but I think this is more doable for me right now. I gained weight on vacation and lost a bit of it but that's ok. I'm going to aim for 0,5 lb loss a week this month and see what happens. I am 4 lbs away from my ultimate weight goal. Hopefully I can reach it in June.
Best of luck to all!

Hey!

Weight loss is slowing down a bit now I'm getting closer to goal so not sure whether the goal weight for this month is realistic or not, in fact haven't lost any the last couple of weeks although I've upped my exercise so I'm putting it down to that.
Here's to a successful May for all.0 -
I have started the C25K this morning and feel very energised! Had porridge and a banana for breakfast, and so far I've gotten through about 1.3lt of liquids.

Hello,
I'm stuck on 126lb I've been this weight for the whole of April really. I'm exercising a lot though so maybe some of it is extra muscle. Fingers crossed.
Age:36
Weight:126lb
Height:5ft4
Ultimate Goal: 120lb
May Goal: Tone up for summer
1st-26th April: 126lb
3rd May :1 -
I guess I kind of need this in a different kind of way because I'm trying to reverse diet (slowly get back up to maintenance calories) and it's not going as well as I'd hoped; I'm still losing more weight than I'd like. All steady, no fluctuations, so hopefully it's just fat loss but I don't want to take the chance I'm losing muscle (hitting about 95% of my protein goal most days).
Age: 28
Height: 5'10
Current weight: 147.4lbs
Ultimate goal: 145lbs
May goal: No lower than 145lbs and eating at maintenance so fat loss plan can come into full action.
2nd/3rd May: 147.4 -- I'm going out for drinks with the girls this week so I'm sure that will add in a few (un)necessary calories.

Hi all! I am trying to get ready for my wedding, which is in two months (yikes!!)... somehow the diet planning from throughout this past year didn't go as planned, and now it's all condensed to these two months
. I am really hoping for a ~pound a week, but we'll see how it goes; it's been discouraging.
Height: 5'3
Current weight: 121 lbs
May goal weight: 116 lbs
I usually weigh in on Fridays.2 -
5' 3" - 56 years old. I've gotten my hourglass back, now I just need to keep going to low end of BMI and figure out what my daily calories need to be for lifetime maintenance. Currently keeping -1k daily gunning for 127 on June 1st. Right now it looks like the final number will be around 1200 cal, so getting all the recommended nutrients will be part of the hat trick.

Last month I only lost 1.5lbs, really going to try and stick to my calorie goal this month and see if I can actually lose a pound a week. I'm going back to work in 3 months and all of my clothes are a size 6 and I'm currently wearing a size 10...how's that for motivation!

I have been shamelessly indulging in sweets so the last week the weight went up and then went down a bit...Now that I have eaten the rest of the chocolate eggs out of the house, I can start eating clean again, LOL!
Best of luck to all! 5 -

Only a pound, but I really can't seem to get on focus with losing the weight. So if it only a pounds I will be happy.

Success/struggles of the week: I am pretty happy with how my body looks and feels at this weight. But my blood pressure is still high enough that it needs medication, and I'd like to see if some additional loss improves that. About a pound of my loss this last week was diet and exercise; the other pound is all water weight from starting meds.0 -

It's been a rough couple of weeks. But the next few will be even harder. Power forward. Sometimes it's will alone to get you though. Trust the process. Hoping to see some glimpses of the teens in the next week.3 -

Well, that escalated rather quickly. I'm attributing this water whoosh to eating probiotic yoghurts (in an effort to help my IBS) and drinking even more water than before. I have 3 litres (12 glasses) of strictly H2O, two large (450ml-ish) mugs of herbal tea, and two protein shakes with water every day (500ml each) so it's coming in hot. 3 -
For some reason this weekend my weight went up by about 2lbs, for no obvious reasons, and felt rather down about that. However, back down to normal now and have already dropped below my end of May body fat goal! PT tonight and weigh in & measurements tomorrow morning. Just got to keep focussing on the numbers that tell a more comprehensive story.3

That's great! What's your new goal then?
I feel like people who have issues with the scale give it a bad rap -- this isn't aimed at anyone, it's just something I've noticed. Of course, yes, it isn't the whole picture: I've lost an inch off my waist and an inch off my hips (my problem area) since starting to mess around with macros a couple of weeks ago which is very exciting. But your information is not complete without it. For example, my scale weight is only a reflection of where my IBS is at to me. The fluctuations are great indicators of what's been happening and what's coming. I couldn't tell that by only measurements as my bloat can take me up as much as 4 inches. However, looking at the scale, I was 148 for awhile and my bowel hurt so bad, yesterday I was 146.8 and I felt so much better in my tummy. Today at 145.6 I feel the best I've felt in a long time. Seeing those numbers change let me know that I was going to feel better that day.
The only time I worry about my weight as...weight is if I was choosing to compete and I wanted to be in a lower weight class (kickboxing) but I'm not. Ultimately, it's however you feel about the situation but don't discount one or the other completely because you're only doing a disservice to yourself.1 -
Oh, I'm certainly not discounting one or the other. For me weight is not the best indicator as I once was around 150lbs but terribly unfit and unhealthy. So although I was physically much thinner and lighter, I had no concept of body fat vs muscle mass, and it skewed my view. I now know I need a combination of weight, measurements and body fat/muscle mass in order to get a full picture for me.
Body fat % goal to be revised based on tomorrow's weigh in.1
