Hello Ladies!!
Figured I'd kick off September's accountability discussion since it's one of the things that helps to keep me honest
. As always, anyone is welcome to join at any point in the month, just post your stats (if desired), weekly weigh-in #s, and any comments you want to share. I also like to use https://trendweight.com to get my weight trend, since it syncs nicely with my fitbit and scale.

Felt fatigued last week with low calorie restrictions, so took a week "off" and only put in about half my normal amount of effort with logging food and picking healthy options. Really was just looking to maintain my weight for the week. I'm was up several pounds, but it seems to just be water weight as I'm back to my normal weight. My wedding is this month, so I'm not planning on being too worried over exercise (due to lack of time). Planning to do what I can and eat well to stay on track. Trying to avoid stressing eating!! Hope you all have a great September and get to your goals!!

Well, over the weekend I ate too much, and didn't track squat. We went over to the in laws, and other then pre-packaged foods, they cook everything from scratch. Unless I hover over everything in the kitchen, I'm not going to be able to log accuratly. It's a holiday weekend, I'm not too concerned about it. If I'm mindful of what I eat every other time of the year, I think I'll be doing good, lol. Less then 10% of my year eating whatever and however much I want seems like a fair balance. Back to the straight and narrow this week though!
Thanks for opening up the accountablilty thread! I also feel like it helps me stay accountable. Checking in and having a monthly goal has been really helpful. & CONGRATS! I hope you have a wonderful wedding!

Typical for me to bump up a few pounds after a race weekend (which was this past weekend) - had a great trend going before that, but weight has been holding steady since then. Slight drop in some measurements from last week though, so that was good.
Frustrated on the eating front. My chosen eating plan is the easiest one for me to stick with, but I still feel like I am at war with my body. I'm frigging HUNGRY for hours every day, and just fighting to keep from eating, but the scale is barely dropping. Frustrated in a lot of other areas of my life as well, so the couple good things have been really hard to focus on.
Trying to lose the weight has really sapped my energy, too, which is NOT helping the weight loss. Grrrr, my body is being really restive to letting go....6 -
Hey ladies
I haven't been around for a while. I really didn't make eating well a priority over the summer but fall's here now and I'm ready to head back to it. I've been doing really good the last week or two. My recent goals have been to always pack a lunch that has been pre-logged, and to hit my calorie burn goal on my fitbit. I've been doing pretty good on those. I'm also doing fairly good at logging everything and keeping it within my calorie goal. I've weighed in everyday for almost 2 weeks, so I finally have enough data in HappyScale to really see what I weigh and start seeing a slight downward trend which I'm happy about. All-in-all, I think I'm pretty on track right now!

@HoneyBadger155 Have you tried delaying your first meal of the day as late as you can? This seemed to help me with feeling as ravenous in the evening. I was following a 16:8 IF schedule but now it's closer to 14:10. But it really seems to help me out to delay my first meal as much as I can. And it's also helpful to me to get a large amount of protein in the first meal.. I hope you find something that helps! It sucks to be hungry all the time! It does not make it easy at all!2

I'm on OMAD, so my "first" meal is well delayed LOL - I like a "real" dinner and not freaking out about every tiny bite. It's working, but this week the hungries have been more like when I started again - last couple weeks weren't bad at all.0 -

Wah. I've actually eaten pretty well this past week, buuut I only met my step goal 4 out of 7 days and made it to the gym only once, so maybe that's why the number didn't go down.
Also took a pregnancy test this morning, 2 weeks post-miscarriage, and it's still showing positive. Booooo. It's going to take a bit longer for these hormones to clear out, I guess (want them gone YESTERDAY so we can start trying again). I know I gain weight as soon as that second line appears, so that might be holding things up too.
Let's cross our fingers for a better week.5 -

Maintaining for September. Focus on recomp going forward. I appear to be continuing to trend downward, despite increasing my calories from 1650 to 2000. Considering how slow I was losing at 1650 I'm surprised. My activity level has gone up though as well, my husband started a job that has him out of the house from 8am to 9-10pm, so 100% of childcare related activities are on me now. All the baths, teeth brushing, story reading, diaper changing...it used to be shared in the evening. And since I'm by myself with them I have to wear the 1 year old on my back a lot (22lbs) more to get stuff done. I also now do 95% of the housework as well (used to be about 65%). Anyway, I'm not feeling deprived and usually not hungry at 2000, so if I lose a little because I'm more active that is fine with me. I switched to maintenance because I needed a break from being in a purposeful deficit, not because I didn't want to lose any more weight.
On the other hand, I spent money on clothes, I don't want to lose too much more.2 -

Thanks for the new thread @leah_not_leia!
Hello lovelies! Well, I am back again. Summer is over and I've gained, after hitting 157lbs early July. I have had so much on so logging just wasn't top of my list. In fact, I very soon allowed myself to just enjoy the summer months. Last week was my birthday so a lot of food and alcohol was consumed. Now I am back on track, and today is my first weigh in to get going again. I have kept track of daily weights on Happy Scale at least, so I know where I am (and I don't like it
).
The gym has taken a hit too and the lack of that, teamed with cake decorating (fiddly work whilst concentrating so much my posture suffers) and cleaning and food prep for my birthday BBQ, left me with a significant lower back spasm stopping me from getting back in to the gym early this week. Today I'm all booked up but tomorrow I will be going. If only to get my muscle tone back (and belly reduction) before a black tie event on Weds 7th of November. I did go for a 3k run on the first Sat of Sept and had severe DOMS in my calves for 3 days afterwards.
Mind you, only 6.6lbs gained (taking in to account shark week this week) since the beginning of July, which is certainly not as bad as it could have been.
Onwards and downwards!

On track a lot better this week. I downloaded this app called "7 minute workout" and they have this 30 day challenge that sounds fun. I think I will do this. I hit a new low on the scale today. My wieght likes to hit new lows, and then the next day go "lol, nope". Then it jumps up 3 lbs. and teases me all month, lol. So I hope it sticks around long enough to get my average down to my goal for the month!2 -

Ultimate Goal Weight: Not quite sure. I'd be so happy to maintain at 127, but pre-baby I sat around 123-126. I'll re-evaluate when I get to 127.
Have eaten really well this week, controlling my cravings and practicing portion control. I have a bachelorette party Saturday to Sunday and I kind of feel doomed. Trying to think through my game plan. I want to enjoy myself, but also don't want to feel bloated and hungover on Sunday. I think I'll bring a vegetable tray to share with everyone so I have healthy snacks as well and try to drink moderately. The party location is on a lake and I'd love to get up and run on Sunday morning. That just won't be possible if I'm hungover.2 -

I'm going to join in late this month! I'm not overweight but I want to loose weight so that I'm a better athlete. My biggest problem is that I eat well 75% of the time but then I get lazy and eat something really terrible. Nutrition goal for the month is to eat fewer processed foods, maybe twice a week.

So far so good! This month has been going my way and I'm finally starting to see a steady downward trend. The last week of September I'm going to a conference for a week and I'll be eating/drinking out a lot, so we'll see what that does. But even if I just maintain that week I'll be happy.
Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

Hi everyone, this is my first update!
I normally do a lot of sports but gained weight this spring during a depression I looked in the mirror in early July and thought -not ok! time to do something. I have logged my food, used a fit bit, upped my walking and logged food, aiming for 2000-2200 cal per day.
Height: 5'6
SW: 152
Ultimate GW: 132-138
July:148
August: 146
Today: 143!!!
I had a really long plateu and decided to up my intake with 200-300 kcal for 2 days. I think I was holding some water because of stressing my body a bit.
Now the question is, do I go back to my 2100 calories, or do I drop to 2000? According to my fitbit I burn 2500 most days.
My aim is to lose a couple pounds a month, I have no hurries. I just want to lean up for vanity and my running times. I want to be able to lose and stay there so I want to take good care of my metabolism ^^
Thanks in advance xx2 -
Hi everyone! I'm taking a diet break for a bit and working on recomp. I have another 6-7 pounds I'd like to lose eventually but I would like to work on putting on some more muscle and I'm enjoying better workouts with more food. I'm currently maintaining in the 126-127 pound range which has been pretty easy so far. I'm down another pant size so recomp appears to be working. Still doing Strong by Bret strength workouts and seeing great results.

I'm on a sodium high today so it'll be interesting to see what I can do today and tomorrow ahead of Wednesday's weigh in. Am back in the gym, but my back continues to spasm (4 hours on a picnic blanket on Saturday eve really exacerbated it) meaning I can only do so much. As in: I can do dead lifts at my normal rep weight (20kg), but at half the speed. Russian twists are a no no. All fun and games!2

I took some time off from logging to get married and go on an epic road trip. And now, it’s back to it. I could not believe the scale this morning - I really enjoyed myself on both food and beer fronts on this trip, and thought I’d be way heavier getting back.
I do feel squishier, and am looking forward to getting back into a regular workout routine and regaining some muscle.5 -

Well I'm back. I've had a steady 2.5 months away but when my birthday came a couple weeks ago, my husband gave me a TON of candy. Now I'm up 5 lbs and need to get my cravings and splurges under control. Working out 5 days a week hasn't waivered- I do it as soon as I wake up and realize what's happening haha so i think that means it's just food that's the problem. Happy to be back and seeing how well everyone is progressing!0
