    Height 5'5.5 (I like to claim 5'6")
    April goal: 155 lbs
    Ultimate goal: 140 lbs.

    March 22 - 162.5

    April 6 - 159.6
    April 13 - 160.2

    April 27 -

    Am disappointed to report that I am back in the 60's - really wanted to post a lower 50's number. Although I know it's a gluten issue, thought I made a gluten-free pasta dish Tuesday night, only to realize as I was cleaning up after dinner that the pasta was not gf. Hence water retention for several days. So I'll be happy that it's only a half pound gain to report and be more diligent about gluten. I am back on track with running consistently...so am confident. We've got this!

    While the weight lost might not seem significant, I'm thrilled by the dip in BFP, and watching the moving average come down. In fact, I would consider this week a total success. StrongLifts going well, I really like the format of the programme, so I'll keep you updated on how that goes, but I love having a set programme so I can literally track like for like progress. I'm a routine fiend I guess.

    What isn't so great this week is I've done something bad to something in my neck - just feels like the muscles that turn it side to side are supertight, or I've pinched something, but basically unless I'm sitting ramrod straight or am doing exercises with good form, I get no relief - sleeping is a nightmare!

    Hoping to book myself into a chiropractor this week, but its always a bit of a downer on your journey when your body isn't at it's best. Will keep you updated! But April's goals are looking well & truly smashable!

    H: 5’ 6”
    SW 161 (5/17)
    SBF% 25.28
    CW — fluctuating between 144-147

    April goal: 142

    BF% Goal 20%

    April 6: 145 BF% 22.24
    April 13: 146 BF% 21.70

    Started the week at 144, but had some sodium heavy snacks and a heavy meal last night. I’m excited to see some number proof that recomp is working by the decrease in BF percentage. Also went down half an inch in waist measurement. Hooray!

    GW: 135
    April GW: 139

    March 1: 147 (24.4 BF)
    April 1: 142 (21.8 BF)
    April 7: 142.4
    April 14: 142.4

    TOM hit this morning, so I’m not putting too much stock in that number. My weight was down in the low 141s earlier this week, so I feel like I’ve made some progress.

    Staying within my calories has felt like more of a challenge lately. I’m going to have to sit down and meal plan a bit better.

    I’m travelling for work Monday, so that will be another challenge to staying on track.

    Also, an NSV: I have started Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred SO many times, and have never gotten past Level 1. Today will be day 5 of Level 2, meaning I’m halfway through.

    Apr 10: 127.2 - Today I gave myself the slap in the face that I needed to wake up - I've been lying to myself about my food intake and exercise calories burned and hoping that the scale will just magically go lower instead of higher. It's time for me to let go of the excuses I've been making and finally get to my goal weight. I WILL do this!

    This week was harder motivation wise than the last two. Took so much more effort. But I managed to stay at or under my calories every day, and at or over my exercise goals every day. And success! I can’t believe it. I beat my April goal half way through!

    April 2 64kg (FFS)
    April 9 63.4kg
    April 16 63.9kg

    My target for this month seems so far away, I was 62.7 last week at one point, but then had days out with the kids and stopped tracking, was my husbands birthday yesterday too.

    Good points for last week were I went running 3 times!! And did my second longest run ever of 8km :)

    I really must try harder, I’ve got a mini break with my friends the end of May and I’d love to feel happier.


    My target this month is going to be 62kg

    Just a quick update - went to the chiropractor last night which COMPLETELY sorted me out - and reassured me that my gym/StrongLifts routine wasn't causing any harm... if anything it's my desk set up (sedentary jobs will kill you, man). Woop! Back on it! Let's smash this week!

    Chugging along here! I've been busy and haven't been checking in as much but I'm reading along and seeing how you're all doing. I set myself a second goal of 130 and getting into a healthy BMI (I think that's 131 or 132) and then seeing how things look there. I have a hard time envisioning myself any lower than that because I haven't been that low since junior high school!

    Hey all, thought I'd check in after weeks of silence. :)

    I stopped logging and counting for a while, and it seems I'm maintaining ok for the moment. I weighed myself this morning and trending weight went a bit up (58.5 vs 58.2 9 days ago), but it's TOM and I've been developing a strong evening M&M's addiction. Scale puts my BF% at 31%, but I really find it hard to believe when looking in the mirror...

    Feeling pretty awesome otherwise, size 27" jeans still fit, I'm wearing tight tops and there's no muffin top to be seen (still a bit of a tummy though, but as long is it doesn't get bigger, I can live with it).

    Plan is to start toning up a bit for the summer with short bodyweight exercises at home, bike to work and maybe start running again. Weather is awesome, it's 25°C/77°F right now!

    Well 139lbs made a guest appearance on my scale earlier last week! I'm hoping to see it stick around by month end. I'm still dealing with an on & off ravenous appetite. I'm not sure if it's the workouts, or what's going on. So, I'm upping my calories to maintenance for a week or two to see if that gets those hunger hormones under control. Since I'll be eating at or above maintenance I'm not planning on eating back my exercise calories on workout days. Unless I do something crazy intense. (I wouldn't call flopping around in my living room for 30 minutes to Jillian too intense. :lol: ) Hopefully that will get me to goal by month end.

    ETA: Those "maintenance" weeks a couple weeks ago, wasn't exactly planned or controlled. That was me being tired and wanting to eat all the things! I'm hoping by having a controlled refeed break I'll get more out of it and be ready to go back to a deficit with my appetite a little more under control. For a while anyways. Until the fat cells demand another sacrifice for replenishment. :tongue:

    Didn't lose but I also didn't gain so I guess that's not so bad. School has been really rough the past 4 weeks so tomorrow I'm planning on doing a ton of work just so that I'll be ahead and less stressed during the week and can focus more on me. I started lifting again which will hopefully bring a whoosh next week but I'm also due for my period, so my hopes aren't high.

    Bit of a weird one, weight's ticking down, but BFP went up? To be completely fair, my diet's been a bit inconsistent, but then my workouts have been up... I dunno. It's going the right way! I suppose I should be pleased! This week's goal is to tighten up logging, and really kick the last week of April's butt for some serious results... and so I can really get a handle on my May goals.

    Yeah, it's going alright! I've got a stupid tailbone injury and I had a hip strain which has set me back in my training, but in general, my weight is up (142ish), yay, but it's more my BF which is less yay. I don't mind [my BF] being up, I just feel not good from so much Easter chocolate, too many nights out and pizza. Doing a week of logging to see how I can tweak my diet back into optimimum health and I just miss the comradarie of everyone being into being healthy and fit.

    I hope you and everyone else have been well. :kissing_heart:

    April goal: 140, then will re-evaluate from there. Probably maintenance after!

    April 2: 141.4
    April 6: 141.4
    April 13: 141
    April 20: 140.2
    April 27:

    .2 pounds from goal weight!! I should hopefully hit that in the next few days as long as I keep my diet on track. Originally I was planning on switching to maintenance right after getting to goal, but I'm going to be doing some traveling in about 2 weeks, so now I plan on eating at a deficit until then just to give myself a buffer. After all of the traveling it'll be a switch to maintenance and recomp!!
