Hi all

Had a Whole day of helping my parents move house. Tiring.
But 163.4 this week 🙂

Up 0.4 this week. Rough weekend, too many temptations. I obviously caved but it’s ok. I’m back on track this week.

Hi everyone. Been travelling a lot this week and back and forth helping out with unpacking boxes decorating and all the things you have to do with moving. Haven't found my scales yet. Hopefully be a bit more organised with food prep and logging this coming week and have located my scales by next Wednesday weigh in. I did manage to get a Fitbit though and wear it most days.

Well done for getting back on track, it's hard to do.

And well done on weight loss.

Targets: find scales
Gym strength exercises/toning
Healthy food choices this week. And spend some time meal prepping/planning.

Hi all, sorry to have been a bit awol. I have had to reevaluate some goals over the past few weeks, not all of them related to this weight loss health and fitness one. I have taken some time out to make a start on some other personal goals, which has meant my focus has been split as I begin to form new habits in relation to my other goals.

It has given me the time to also evaluate where I am with my health goal, what I want and what I need to do to get there. I’ve also been focusing on what comes after and planning ahead to after I have achieved my weight loss goal. I’ve made changes to my calories allowance based on my current weight. (Up until now I hadn’t factored in that as you loose weight your calorie needs change also, which probably explains why I hit such a long plateau). So, I know I need to up my exercise, and toning up is quite important to me so I will be looking at changing gyms this week and doing some group gym exercise classes, (which apart from aqua fit I haven’t really done up until now).

My focus for the next week is to do some group exercise and find a few I’d like to stick to. Never done yoga so that’s on my list to try. So I have a 3 day trial at a new gym which offers classes starting from Tuesday.
I am adding more strength training to my exercise routine and HIIT workouts.
I am working with a nutritionist now so I can have a healthy diet that is more of a lifestyle, rather than just for weight loss, so I can sustain healthy eating and have a good relationship with food, long after I have reached my goal.
I am in the process of considering whether to get a personal trainer at the new gym so I have someone there to help keep me accountable with exercise part of my goal, set some targets and an exercise/workout program that I can accomplish.
I’m concentrating on toning up and not just the number on the scales but my body measurements too. I’ve booked my trip to Dubai to celebrate my weight loss so far. So looking forward to that in a few weeks too 🙂

Hello everyone, I haven't posted an update in a while. Hope you all are doing well. It's still been challenging for me, but although my diet isn't the healthiest, I'm almost always within my calorie range, and exercise every day with only a day here and there missed. I'll just pick up with posting the weights where I left off:

October 25th: 150.5
November 1st: 151
November 8th: 149
November 14th: 147.5

Halloween did set me back a little with the candy, hopefully Thanksgiving and Christmas doesn't set me back too much. Really hoping to make me end of yr goal of 140!

You have time to make your goal!! I haven't been here in forever!! The candy set me back as well. We just keep trying. A couple of years ago when I had broken some ribs, the Dr. asked how it happened. I told him that I didn't warm up and was doing a home tv exercise class in a cold room first thing, lol. I said here I am trying to lose weight and now look what has happened. He said that he knows it is hard, but we have to keep on trying. He was on a weight loss journey as well. We laughed when he said that he has seen people come into the urgent care being punched in the ribs after a fight and they haven't broken any ribs. What can I say?? Leave it to me, lol!! Keep going and I will, too!!
