    I'm going to the beach in a month so it's crunch time. All this lack of motivation needs to step aside. I'm planning on cutting down on eating out this month to look my sexiest in a bikini :)

    It's slow, but I'm very happy to see a downward trend. Still working on being consistent with workouts and food choices (and weigh-ins) but feel like I'm making progress.

    Thank you for starting a new thread! Leaving for Costa Rica on Monday and feeling great. I had about a week where I was holding onto water at the end of April and then a whoosh to start May off right. Five pounds to go until I hit my next goal weight!

    Height: 5'1"
    SW: 195lbs.
    CW: 135lbs.
    May Goal: Not expecting much if any loss since I won't be logging properly or weighing myself until the 19th when I'm home. Hoping to at least maintain this month.

    May 4th: 135lbs.

    I’ve managed to stay on track this week despite my family dragging me to a buffet, a mandatory potluck, Friday night pizza delivery, and a literal bucket of alcohol my husband surprised me with at the beach yesterday.

    Does anyone else feel like their family is unintentionally trying to sabotage them? I tell you, I did not realize just how much food my teenage son offers me on a daily basis until I started this diet. ‘Would you like me to make something for you? Would you like a bite of this? I’m getting a bowl of ice cream, would you like one too? Would you like a cookie/casserole/cinnamon roll we made in culinary class? I brought some home just for you!’ He’s sweetly unhelpful.

    April 30th: 142lbs. 22.3% body fat.
    May 8th: 140lbs. 21.6% body fat.

    I'm not currently in training (iliopsoas strain, luckily) so I'm not carrying any water weight, hence the 140 and the probably higher than true BF reading. I'm looking tighter, but it's the lack of water.

    Still taking it easy, I'm allowed to straight box this week but no kicking. Sunday is teacher training so I'm trying to preserve myself. :lol:

    I wasn’t going to join in this month, I’ve really not been into anything recently, I’ve been suffering with really low mood, the winter in the uk lasted forever this year, but I feel like it’s finally over and my mood has improved dramatically :)

    Starting weight
    64.4kg 30/4/18

    4/5/18 63.7kg
    11/5/18
    18/5/18
    25/5/18

    I’m not going to set a weight loss goal, I just need to get my *kitten* together and keep my exercise up and try and eat better.

    I'm doing much better so far this month with staying within my weekly average goal for calories. I have a little extra motivation with a trip to Florida planned in July. I want to get as much off as I can by then. We shall see. I did take my measurements the other day. I lost a cm on my thighs, everything else stayed the same. But last couple months have been slow going. I did find a bodyfat calculator online that seems to be as accurate as it can be. The one I was using was trying to tell me my BF% was 22% which I knew was BS. To my knowledge women with 22% BF don't have much for love handles and belly chub, lol. This new one I found gave me a much more realistic estimate.

    Post and run as work has been mad and I am now in a rush to get somewhere. Will catch up later.

    Hello TOM. Nice of you to hit. Have consistently weighed in higher than normal in the last week, which is a combination of the build up to TOM and a little water retention (I’ve been very bloated for the last week). Never mind. Now that it’s hit the weight should slowly start coming down. So yes, my May goal is staying at 157.

    Had a lovely & active long weekend, which involved a lot of cleaning and tidying (spring cleaning the house including under the sofa etc, clearing out both sheds and tidying them, a fair amount of walking on Sunday). The weather has been absolutely amazing, but it did result in dinner out on Sunday (al fresco!) and a BBQ on Monday (mmm, ribs!).

    @Crafty_camper123, that's a very good BF calculator. It's good that it takes into account age as well since, no matter how fit we are our body fat percentage goes up slightly as we age.

    This morning my trend sits at a whopping - oh, ya, right where it was. I know my body, it's just having a mini rebellion right now at the reduced calories, eventually it will quite being a turd and I'll "whoosh."

    Still a little frustrating to sit there dealing with the hungries pretty much daily only to see nothing on the scale :neutral: I will trust the process and stick with it though, I don't want to turn 40 feeling fat....

    I've been hovering around 155 for a month and a half now. I feel like I could still lose more so I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe it's just body dysmorphia.

    I've change my way of eating and started going full force on weight training. I will keep track of my measurements for the next 3 weeks to see if I'm getting smaller. I'm fine with gaining weight if I'm still getting smaller and my % body fat is dropping although I still have my heart set on making it to 135 lbs.

    Goal this week, 4 days of weight training and 3 days of cardio.
