Spring in to Summer: June weight-loss and accountability
Replies
-
Shark week got delayed by 5 days, leaving me bloated for longer and now suffering the early days high weigh in. Have been good all this weekend, yet weighed in high again this morning. It’s frustrating but I keep telling myself it is no reflection on me and my diet, and to just let nature get on with it. It’ll blow over. I think my hormones simply are a little out of sorts at the moment given that a) 5 days is very late for me and, b) so far AF is different to usual.
@peppermintcaroline Munchies are slowing down at least!
@FitSeachely Glad I’m not the only one with PMM. I’ve kind of given up on the goals and focusing on getting my hormones back under control (assuming that is the issue). You’re doing well by the way, a 0.6lb increase is minor, and overseeable, especially so close to goal!
@RobinAlex666 Sounds like your decision to maintain is sensible. Hope summer classes won’t be too stressful.
@DomesticKat Hope you had a fabulous birthday yesterday!
@HoneyBadger155 Nice drop in trend weight!
@gutsnglory6 Hope you had a fabulous birthday last week. I do hope you did have that cake!
@loe_loe23 That’s the thing with UGW, they change as you continue the journey. Xx weight with muscle tone & less fat looks so very different to the same weight but more body fat.
@Letitiamcd Ha! Those step challenges have their uses for situations like that! Well done for not going overboard!
@rainingribbons I see what you mean. That’s got to be confusing. Is it possibly to do with the surface your scales sit on?
@nikkit321 How about getting a simple tote bag you can put round your neck, so that you can carry things like food in a box & bottles of water from a to b?
@Treehugger_88 Indeed a step in the right direction, keep up the good work!
@mclduck It’s only a lb (of gummy fruit snacks???). Plenty of time and turn it around. Well done on the consistent logging!
@itseclair Ah I see. Yes, being able to do things properly is important, so it’s good you’re not blindly going for it without considering technique.
@Cora0477 Well done meeting your goal so quickly! Don’t be disappointed though. Gradually start updating your wardrobe with cute but smaller sizes. That could be a treat to yourself for doing well. And maybe sell some of your old stuff on eBay or donate to charity.
@glassofroses
X-ray: No. I only got referred in March, and you know what the waiting lists in the NHS can be like…Thursday will be only my second appointment. Been doing the exercises but it is not increasing mobility from what I can tell. He’s not given me any potential guesses of diagnoses yet. I did have about 10 days of respite from the pain, but is back, and bilaterally now. I am getting to that point where I think an X-ray and a scan would be helpful, in order to see what is going on with the bones, cartilage and tendons/ligaments.
So to answer your question about joint spaces: No clue. According to my PT I do have a level of hypermobility (e.g.: if I lock my knee or elbow, the full limb is effectively bent the wrong way ever so slightly) so I do have to be careful not to lock those joints during exercises. Mind you, I have never dislocated anything (the benefit of having short/tight muscles and ligaments, keeping everything together?). Specific to my wrists when they are flared only, I do notice that I have pain when pressing (on the right hand side) and swelling (on the left hand side) of what appears to be the Dorsal ulnocarpal ligament or the dorsal radiocarpal ligament, or where the articular disc lives. Or if it’s bone, possibly the bottom part of the capitate bone?
Your poor mum, arthritis of the spine sounds awful. But yes, thank you parents for potentially handing us some rubbish genes. My dad is now 72 and has had 3 or 4 replacements on the left side (the one he first had done at 36) and the right only got replaced about 2 years ago, so at a relatively normal age.

This photo shows the bit that is more pronounced than it normally is. It's not noticeable when my wrist is straight. It's the same raised bit on the other wrist that hurts when I press it.

Holy falling off the wagon batman. My regimen must have been too strict. I not only fell off the wagon, but I spiraled out of control in a way that I've not been susceptible to before. I'm now focused on trying to build myself back up more moderately. Pizza for dinner? No problem- 2 slices veggie with a side salad is fine! If being less strict is going to keep me moving in the right direction, that's clearly a better option than losing my mind and eating 3 pints of ice-cream in 3 days.7 -
Finally, I’m seeing movement again! Whoohoo!

@rianneonamission Could be a bone spur? Could be one of those lumps that turn up and go away, I had something similar and my GP told me that people used to drop heavy textbooks on them to make them go away. I don't recommend that as mine wasn't painful at all,

@glassofroses A ganglion. That's what my wrist problems all started with. However, I got rid of mine by accidentally whiplashing my wrist. Less painful than whacking it with a bible . My mum had one and in her sleep whacked it against the wall, which I suppose is similar to the book method. 0

6/6/18: Starting the month off pretty good. My weight is just ever so slowly creeping off. If I can get below 136 at month end that will be great. I haven't been counting strictly. Just going off of how I feel. We'll see how I do, so far I'm doing good. Happy June! Good luck everyone!
6/13/18: Well I'm not counting my calories and am apparently very good at maintenance. But I'm eating till "full" or "satisfied" where I need to be eating to just below full, or "slightly satisfied". I feel like the summer blahs are hitting me though and I have not been very motivated to work out. My last work out I couldn't complete. I got tired very quickly and was quite bloated for some reason. I'm not sure what happened there. The 3pm blahs are hitting hard too and it's hard to walk away from the work candy jar for a pick me up. My DH has been having to work extra early, so I've been going to bed a little earlier too instead of working out in the evenings. I'm thinking of trying to drag my *kitten* out of bed an hour earlier and trying to work out in the AM. I'm about as far away from a morning person as one can get though, so we'll see. I'm about 2 months past my "Eh screw it. I'll just be chubby" date. I think it's hitting late. Is it the heat? The slight change in my sleep schedule? I dunno, but I just need to work through it. I need to remember how far I could be in another 6 months if I don't quit now. 3 -

this is gonna be tmi so yeah...
last week I was on my period which would probably explain why my weight didn't change on the 9th but after it ended I've dropped 3 lbs in total....? I'm sure its water weight if anything so I wont celebrate as of yet haha
but I'm really close to my first gw of 135 lbs which is making me excited

I’ve been struggling with motivation to keep going lately, but dialing back the workouts and upping my calories (-.5 lbs/week from -1 lbs/week) seems to be helping me stay on track. I’m more or less at my goal, so I’m going to see what that higher intake equals in relation to maintenance. Also planning to dive back into working out regularly next month (work travel next week and the inlaws in town the week after make it a logical start again point).
And @rianneonamission - the birthday was great. I ate too much and drank too much, but had the best time.3 -

Ugh so slow. So much bloating... my weight chart looks like a heart rate monitor!3 -
Well damn. If this is what skipping Taco Bell and Steak 'n Shake gets me, I'm in. I've been feeling good this week and it's awesome the scale agrees. Now on to week 2 with no fast food- it shouldn't be this hard but it is. I even made a phone banner that says "NO TACO BELL". I shoved it in my husbands face yesterday night when he asked if I wanted to go. He was a little confused but said ok. It was a little easier to say no because the leftovers we have right now are sooo tasty.

I had a great birthday! My husband decorated and my kids made cards. We went to the farmer's market and then gardened the rest of the day. My husband bought me a bunch of smaller pajamas to replace the too big ones and a gift card to buy some new bras. I've been wearing sports bras since I don't have to worry too much about sizing, so it will be nice to have some regular bras that fit. I also received a gift card to a store I would never buy clothes from otherwise (Amour Vert) so I bought a nice skirt and top. I've been neglecting buying new, smaller clothes and trying to make whatever I have work.
My weight is still bouncing up and down. I know I can expect this now that I'm losing very little every week. I've also been doing a lot more high intensity stuff now that it's warmer out. It goes down when I have a rest day and back up again. I washed my husband's car yesterday and need to clean the inside today, and then we're going strawberry picking, so I'm not really expecting any miracles on the scale tomorrow either

Soooooo I guess the old scale WAS accurate? I ended up buying a new scale on Amazon last weekend and unless they're both off, I'm around 137. Which is great, means I've hit goal! But it's also a little depressing because last time I was this weight (2 years ago) I was much less pudgy. But oh well. At this point I'll probably continue to 135 just to try to lose a little more fat, and then switch to recomp.5 -

Alright back on track and trying to adjust my thinking. This is a long-term process and a long-term change. A reasonable serving of ice-cream is not the end of the world or an excuse to eat a gallon. Short-term goals: including body weight exercises (not just cardio) and fixing my APT (likely causing my hip pain while jogging). Not sleeping on my stomach has made for a rough few nights, but again LONG-TERM...6 -

I ran twice this week, but didn’t make it to the gym at all. I was expecting this to happen as we got close to our move. Packers come in the morning. I’ll be living out of a suitcase (and many, many hotel rooms) until August 1. To get my suitcase ready, I had to try on all my clothes to see which ones still fit. A lot didn’t, but some were close enough to tide me over. I feel a little bit of fear that I will have trouble staying on track during the extended vacation. I worked SO hard to get here, and I DON’T want to feel like I wasted the effort!3 -

I’ve been EXTREMELY stressed due to living situations, possible job change/going back to school. Stress has definitely affected my weight. I haven’t been eating terrible per-say but it could be a lot better like it used to be. Also could be weighing a tad more due to I got my period mid-cycle (I had my period two weeks ago). I don’t handle stress very well... but I’ve been trying hard to focus on God has control over my life and I shouldn’t worry because everything will work out in the end! Focusing on cleaning up my diet and continuing to workout.3 -
