Scale is finally pointing in the right direction again. Happy to see that its not still going up.
I have adjusted my end of month goal to be 178lbs
I don't know if it's technically acceptable to adjust your goals, but I am trying to be realistic with myself based on my progress thus far. I still think I can lose a little weight from where I started at the beginning of the month.
In the last two days, I have really paid attention to my eating. Cutting myself off after about 7pm. I've been thinking all the time about my portions. I've climbed twice this week and went to my fitness center at work once! I plan to go again today. Definitely a step up from last week. I notice SUCH a difference when I can get my food under control. It's all mental for me. Spacing out my meals/snacks. Not going too overboard in the morning, so that I can still eat more throughout the day and feel full.
I am meeting a friend for dinner tonight and it's this really great mexican restaurant. I was wondering if any of you have tips for eating out at mexican restaurants? This place has an incredible cheese/queso dip that is free and comes with chips and salsa. I'm wondering should i steer clear of the queso all together? Sometimes it gives me stomach aches (normally because I overindulge). Should i just have chips and salsa? Also for dinner, I was thinking of just ordering one fish taco or a tostada a la carte. If I am going to be eating chips, I don't need rice and beans with my meal. Anyways this may seem a bit over analytical, but I am really hoping to move into the 170s in my weight next week, and i don't want to blow it over the weekend! Any eating out tips and tricks are greatly appreciated.
Happy Friday everyone!

No advice really on Mexican food, maybe fajitas? You could have maybe only 1 wrap?1

I'm a bit late but I've been extremely busy with work. I've stayed at exactly the same weight as last week. I have to say I think this time it's probably a small muscle gain, as I have 1cm less around the waist and thighs
plus zero bloat.
On the other hand, I have been completely slacking on cardio (only 10-15 mins a couple of days) and just weight lifting so I have to stop pretending I can get away with that. Yesterday I did 30 minutes of elliptical and it wasn't bad at all! So hopefully will get that going this week and see the scale move again.

I have been a bad girl around sweets lately. I guess I need a stronger incentive for staying away from eating sweets. My clothes fit very well (size 2) and I think I need to buy a pair of shorts in size 0 to get my motivation back!!!
Good luck to all! 1 -
@2tall4thisworld Try to stay away from creamier sauces? Salsa is always good. I'm a terrible bet when it comes to Mexican because I love refried beans, usually in quesadillas, and sipping tequila. Actually the whole style of food is amazing to me. But I always like to get a plain salad because a) I like my salad without dressing/you can ask for it on the side and add to your liking and b) you can fill up more on that and then enjoy whatever you order until you're full.
At the end of the day, you can and should enjoy your food and your date with your friend. Just be aware of your choices and when you're actually full and it should be fine.2 -

I lost a bit because most of the weight I gained from 150 to 154.2 was due to me eating a lot of sodium.1 -

I can completely relate to this, I love fruit. The season is so short though it seems like such a waste not to gorge on it
Winter currently here in NZ so I'm hoping to be at maintenance before I hit this issue again.1 -

I survived mexican food night! @glassofroses you are 100% right. Salad always helps me feel full, and salsa is definitely a better alternative to queso/creamy sauces. Next mexican food date night I will be mostly sticking to the salsa. I didn't get too out of control this time which is good! No binging at all this weekend. I had a long full day in the sun on Saturday hiking and climbing. Then Sunday, I walked to my gym (1.7 miles one way) and then did some weight training and walked home. Needless to say, my whole body is sun burnt and sore. I'm ready to kick off the week in the best way! I'm going to try to hit my work fitness center once a day this week. I'm really feeling a lot better about being able to control my portions. I think I can do so even more if I really put my mind to it.
Happy Monday!1 -

My progress has been frustratingly slow, but very steady, so I suppose I shouldn't complain! I wanted to join a group for some more support since I don't get a great deal of it at home. I've been lurking for a while just reading posts, but decided to chime in finally! You are all inspirational with your goals, and with being accountable with posting your goals and journey. Hope to join accountability and weigh in conversation more actively in July.

It looks like everyone is steadily reaching their goal weight. I am a little behind. Especially last week; was travelling whole week and working long days. I need to watch more closely what I eat before and after dinner.

Feeling pretty discouraged this week. Can't seem to make any progress. I REALLY need to be more conscious about my snacking. Hoping to get on track by next weigh-in, so I can at least get close to my June goal
I'm the same as you, I get to the point where I'm so hungry and tired I just eat whatever is quick.
I have the same problem with snacking. I found mine was mostly stress related. Last week when I was away for work, I didn't feel like snacking at all because I only needed to focus on one thing. Now back to reality, I realize how many stressor there are in our day to day life. I am still mindful - try not to get kids to do homework or chores while trying to coordinate, , etc. But it's been a conscious effort not to snack.0 -

With me it's stress too and also tiredness

28th June:
My period is kind of clouding judgment on the fat, water, and muscle aspects of my weigh in (could be what it is, could be higher) but I've lost fat and gained water mass so I'm happy about that. I've drunk alcohol (I drink maybe 5 times a year) and eaten takeout (whoo, Father's Day) and generally just eaten more this week, hey Mother Nature, and am still a stable Mabel. Can't argue with that. Oh and I've upped my water intake to 4 - 5 litres before dinner, not including other drinks and if I drink more water after dinner, depending on training or rest days. UK + heat + white people = melting. Be grateful for aircon is all I'm saying.
@rianneonamission Oooh! Happy dance! How was your holiday, hon? I bet that 3lbs was just water weight. Especially if your BF still came down. Awesome. I think you'll get to 27% no problems. 2 -

Thanks @glassofroses and @aeshippers! Holiday was good thanks, cut it short slightly, but it was a nice break! Still, not all water weight, I ate what I fancied and had a fair bit of wine too!
Forgive me for asking, but how on earth do you drink 4-5 litres a day, alongside other drinks? Granted, the heat meant I got to 3.8lt yesterday (sweltering), but that included the water I drank during my PT (almost 1.5lt) - and my totals include herbal and green teas. Be careful you don't end up with water intoxication!

Aww, I hope it wasn't anything too serious to cut it short. Do you feel rested? Some people I know go on holiday and need a holiday to recover from the holiday they just had.
You'd assume this is the case right? re: water intoxication. But I don't sweat properly, as in none at all unless it's under my boobs, so I have to drink to make up for the fact I can't regulate my own body temperature. Basically if it's the wrong colour coming out, I slow down but generally I drink a litre when I get up, one with lunch and one with dinner. Maybe another on the train going to training if I'm still thirsty, and one while I'm training. I've learned the hard way that I have to have a lot more water than normal people. I've thrown up and almost passed out on various occasions when I've underestimated how much water I have needed to consume. I wish it wasn't this way because I feel like a bloated bowling ball, sloshing water around a lot of the time, but we are who we are right?
ETA: I generally only have a cup of coffee in the morning and upto two cans of soda in a day for 'other drinks'. So my main source of fluid is always water.1 -
Well there you go, I've learnt something! I'm a sweaty Betty from the other end of the scale of struggling to regulate my body temperature and also suffer from both stress and dehydration migraines, but 2-4 litres (usually 2-3 unless as hot as it is now) depending on weather and exercise is enough for me. And the colour of what comes out is absolutely an important guide as to how hydrated you really are.

Girls, you're doing amazing this week, well done!!
I've had a sneaky weigh in this morning and have lost a little, I might have to use that as this weeks weigh in as my totm bloating has started and it'll pee me off if I have a massive gain on Friday.
Just wondering if any of you are on the pill? I'm starting this month as my period is due when I'm on holiday in July and August, but I'm worried about weight gain, it progesterone only because of my age!!0 -
I was on vacation for two weeks so without a scale. Gained two pounds, which isn't bad considering I was eating out and at other peoples houses the whole time. Hoping I can get to 145 by the beginning of July.

@rianneonamission Forever learning. I learned today that my lower back pain is actually caused by my hip flexors. And also partly by a horrendous warm up.
But as far as hydration goes, I've always found that the symptoms for dehydration and water intoxication are too similar and too hard to correct by that point. Colour, however, is pretty on point and fast as, if you're over drinking, you'll need to pee like 20 times a day anyway. TBH, I've always wondered what it was like to sweat. Does it actually cool you down or what? Are you just moist instead? I feel you on stress migraines though. All I can do is hide under a cool flannel and sleep it off. I bought special dark curtains that just turns my bedroom into night time for when stuff like this happens. I feel like I should add a caveat that my room is monochrome. I don't just weirdly have black curtains. It's late and the heat is getting to me -- still too hot for me to sleep. 0 -

I was a few years ago (have tried the combined, the mini and the implant). As much as I wasn't eating as well or tracking, I found myself putting on more weight when on the pill than off, and also found it much harder to regulate cravings. I have the copper coil instead now, and just crave bad food around the time I'm on.glassofroses wrote: »@rianneonamission Forever learning.

Yes, a lot of back pain is actually down to other issues (lack of muscle tone, gait, hips, etc)
Sweat does cool you down, yes. And I'll be drenched if it's exercise sweat. I get the same when I have a fever and take a paracetamol: 20 mins after taking it my body just dumps a load of excess heat, even if just temporarily, and I really do feel significantly cooler after.
I haven't had a stress migraine now since October, which feels amazing. But when I do get one the only cure is to go to sleep in a dark and quiet room after popping a migraine tablet. Without sleep the tablet doesn't work properly.0 -

@rianneonamission I'm allergic to most painkillers so a dark room is what I've got. How do you like to manage your stress? Congrats on no migraines since October, that's amazing.
My hyperflexibility is the issue with regards to my back. As it's warming up we're doing more rotational kicks and kicks intended for the head which I have no problems doing, but because I have little to no support from the hip flexor muscles, it pulls on my back. My physio and I are working on some new exercises at the minute to try and strengthen both my back and my flexors. I feel like I'm forever working on them. And my ankles. Torn ligaments in the right as a kid that were never rehabbed that cause all kind of mayhem now.
