    Hey all,

    So I am weighing in at 138lbs (9stone 12lbs) with 22lbs to lose (1stone 8lbs).

    I'll post my measurements tomorrow morning. I pledge to lose 2lbs this week. :smile:

    Happy New Year everyone. Have a fantastic evening and let 2018 be the year we drop the weight. I know I'm ready for the change.

    Our NY started earlier than most in Australia! I posted this in the announcement this morning:

    Starting weight: 66.6kgs
    -200g over the Christmas/NY period

    Body scan/measurements will be posted on the 6.1 and will follow up with a scan on the first Saturday of every month.

    I always hate weighing in after a larger meal than normal the night before, but it was 180.8 lbs. Time to get serious again!
  • Weight this morning: 168.4lbs. I have already lost 57lbs., but have been slacking. As gilson093 said, " Time to get serious again!" Goal weight: 150-155lbs.

    Try not be to frustrated, you will do this. Do you have an exercise plan for the New Year?

    Try not be to frustrated, you will do this. Do you have an exercise plan for the New Year?

    My main form of exercise is lifting weights 5 to 6 days a week. I was doing a lot of cardio and no weights and then went to all weights and no or little cardio. Have to find a balance that works in 2018. I put on muscle but added some fat to my body also (mostly eating poorly). My goal is to add cardio 3 Days a week and continue to lift weights. At my age (47) I don’t recover as fast as I once did but fell in love with lifting weights. I have to eat cleaner and add some cardio to my weekly activity.

    I think that’s a good way to approach it. Having that balance is important. It’s easy to do one or the other, but both provide great benefits. For me, I sometimes find that doing 20 minutes of cardio and then my weights helps with the balance. To minimize my time and maximize results, I also try and do supersets when possible. I use an app called JEFIT to help find/track my workouts.

At my age (47) I don’t recover as fast as I once did but fell in love with lifting weights. I have to eat cleaner and add some cardio to my weekly activity.

    To help with recovery and be able to train more I’ve adopted push/pull/legs training methods, it’s a good way of isolating different muscle groups so even if certain muscles are aching bad from a push session the day before won’t affect training a different group the next day in a pull session for example. Will let you know how I get on with it!

    I hear you on the food, I can train more and more but if I don’t sort my food out then still gonna be keeping that fat on! Going ok so far with renewed determination - early days tho

    Weigh in: 180.2 lb, so 2.8 lb lost this week. That was more than I was aiming for so I imagine it will be less next time.

    Amazing! Well done. You've worked really hard this week and the number reflects that :smile:
