I've been naturally over eating by one to two hundred calories a day for a week or so and I'm happy with my results. I'm basically bouncing between 141-143 but there is actually little to no change in my body. My stomach over my abs feels puffy but I've not being having good enough sleep to get rid of my water retention so I'm not overly worried about it. Aim of the game is strength. I'm happy to go up to 153 if it means I feel strong again. Definitely taking on board what people are saying and I'm dropping a training day (2 hours) for a couple of weeks to take the stress off my body. When stuff happens in life I like to train but really what I need is probably some [more] bread and a nap.

@RMC1995 A loss of any kind is a good loss. Plus you're really close to goal now so it's going to be rougher so adjusting to 3lbs seems like a good plan. Set yourself up for success, not failure!

@rianneonamission Woo! 2.2lbs is mega. Well done. And bless your partner. Sucks when your job takes over your night like that. What kind of scale do you have then if it can't switch? I don't think mine is particularly advanced as it was £20 so I wonder if it's just a difference in brands. I won't buy an expensive scale as there is no true flat surface in my house and it would be a waste.

@glassofroses thank you! Im happy to hear you're going to take it easy for a while, it feels like you've been sick and injured a decent amount lately and i worry for you<3 !

Not quite happy as I've been weighing at 145 pounds for the past 3 weeks, however I'm glad that I haven't gained instead

Hi there, I'm keen to loose around 4lbs and gain some more muscle following an injury. I'm not getting anywhere though! It's a bit too much sugar, and sitting down, but I think a weigh in might help me. Good luck all x

Struggles: had to reign it in this week after a trip east. Was good on planning and calories but due to another small medical procedure, I couldn't run for 48 hours. My training schedule was messed up.
Successes: I ran 10 miles Monday, the most I've ever done. It wasn't pretty, but I did it.
Upcoming week plan: I will follow the training schedule as best as I can. I have to focus on fueling for the runs as the mileage gets longer. I have to fly east next week for a funeral but I think I can keep at least the running on point. I have to re-prioritize my gym time to make the most out of it.

Hey everyone! Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!

So I’ve been sick all week which means I haven’t been moving at all. I think I’ve averaged 3000 steps a day over the week. I also went a little bit of a “I’m sick and all alone and feeling sorry for myself” kind of binge on Wednesday, but then has such a horrible stomach bug yesterday that I couldn’t even smell food without thinking of throwing up. Today I’m still feeling woozy, but more like myself. I manage to eat a normal lunch today and my stomach seems much more settled now.

Tomorrow, my sister-in-laws, my mother-in-law, my mom and I are having a girls-only Thanksgiving dinner that will involve ordering a ton of Chinese Food and drinking wine and watching girly movies all night. The men are all on a birthday trip for my father-in-law so all us girls decided we weren’t interested in cooking. Then Sunday, the bar I work at is hosting a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for all the staff. So that’s 2 nights of big eating.

With all this going on, my main goal for the next couple days is not to gain. Once the long weekend is over, I’ll be well again and will be able to get back to my routine and eat more to plan again.

@riannaonamission – Great work on your losses this month! You’re on a roll!

@RMC1995 – all loss is progress. It can be hard to accept you’re not moving as quickly as you like, but at least you’re working on your goal in whatever way you can. You’ll get there in the end.

@glassofroses – glad to hear you’re looking at slowing down on training a bit. If you give your body space and time to rest and heal, you might see the results you want in the end. And thanks for the pep talk! It helped!

@curlygirlusn – Any progress is better than no progress or going backward. You’re still 0.5 lbs closer to goal than you were. As I said to RMC1995, it’s hard when you’re not moving as quickly as you like, but at least you’re still moving!

@sardelsa – Happy Thanksgiving fellow Canuk! I only have 2 days of hardcore meals but I’m not looking to gain, so we’ll see how everything goes! Enjoy your feasts!

@bringbackthejoy – Great run!! And you’re always on the go it seems! I’m amazed you can get all the running in with the amount of flying you do! Well done and keep it up!

@FreshBrew92 – Congratulations!! You’re flying through! Keep this up and you’ll be in your goal range before you know it!

And welcome to @Go_Deskercise, @tiinytorii, and @Nic123fitness. Good luck on meeting your goals this week!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Well this is not the results i wanted to see today but stress happened thanks to work and school, and I've been eating a lot of things i shouldn't the last few days. My husband and i went out for our anniversary on Thursday and i gave myself a pass on worrying about calories, but one day turned into three and it shows. Still, there's quite a bit of October left so if i get a handle on things now I'll still be able to meet my goals for the month i hope.

Welcome to new members, and hello to all former members who sat out September and whom i haven't had the chance to become acquainted with yet. I'll have time to go through posts probably tomorrow and give more personal support and feedback since i haven't been on the thread for a few days. ❤❤

I had a good start to the week but then went to a 4 day beer festival so I'm suprised I didn't gain more to be honest.

Thank you thank you @rianneonamission ! It's a good time of year to have a birthday

@brianneangell08 you've got this. I can't wait to start strong curves, I've heard amazing things

Yes, I am enjoying Strong Curves so far. I’ve only been at it 2 weeks, so I can’t say I’ve seen any results yet, but I sure do feel it! I’ve just been doing it at my house and I have to adapt some of the exercises due to limited equipment. I am planning on moving it to the gym once I feel more confident about my form and/or need heavier weights than what I have at home.

Getting in under the wire. Happy Birthday @2tall4thisworld! I hope it's lovely for you.

Hey ladies. I had a bit of an increase recently, but with feeling sick and everything I’m not too surprised, not all that happy, but not surprised. I’m back on track this week with eating and trying to get back into being more active, so things should sort themselves out.

I’ve been in a bit of funk lately, not related to weight or weight loss, just in life in general. My husband just got home from a week away, so hopefully having him back will help with getting back to normal. I was looking forward to having a couple quiet evenings with him to just relax and hang-out, but I’ve suddenly picked up a shift tonight and tomorrow night at the bar I work at. Not really looking forward to that but it is what it is. I still feel really drained and tired even though I was lazy and slept a lot all weekend. I’m just getting impatient to start feeling like myself again.

@andicarvalho – Those sedentary jobs are the worst. I gained probably 20 lbs when I changed from an active job to a desk job. I’m trying to get back down to where I was but it’s a lot harder without moving all day. I’m getting there though. Good luck on your first couple weeks in the new position!

@maggiesimmons3515 – Yes, HW stands for highest weight. As for exercising, I try to fit it in because it makes me feel good and I find the shape I get when I exercise as I lose weight is more what I want than if I just lose through diet alone, but to be honest, this time around I’ve barely exercised. You can do all the weight loss strictly through diet if exercise isn’t something that works for you right now. I keep telling myself I’m going to manage to exercise more, but at the moment it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen. I still lose though. I think you should focus on your eating and just try to take any opportunity to be active. Don’t stress about working out all the time. Just do what you can and log your food.

@Ree13x – I feel ya girl! I think we’re in kind of the same boat at the moment. Here’s hoping that things come together soon and we get back in the groove.

@2tall4thisworld – HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope you had a fabulous time!! It sounds like you’re working on getting settled into this new chapter of your life. Transitions like that are so exciting but also challenging. Give yourself time and be patient in getting your routine set up. And be sure to enjoy everything along the way!

@jesspen91 – So jealous of your 4 day beer festival! That sounds like it was totally worth it!

@brianneangell08 – I have Strong Curves and have tried to get into it a couple times. It looks really great, I’ve just never been good at working out on my own, I like classes. I do want to give it a go one day, I’ll just have to find a way to make it work for me.

@RMC1995 – Nice loss! And your Viking costume sounds awesome! Halloween is the best. You can be whatever you want and look however you want for a night and no one thinks anything of it! I should get my act together and figure out what I’m being this year. It’s coming up fast!

@curlygirlusn – Take care of yourself. For me, sleep is number 1. I can deal with most things if I’ve had enough sleep. I think you made the right call in sleeping instead of hitting the gym. Your next workout will be that much better with you being rested.

Well ladies, good luck this week! Hopefully I snap out of this funk soon and I hope you all have an awesome week!
