    Keeping on, keeping on. Travels start tomorrow, and go through the 25th, so I'm really going to have to stay on top of myself to keep my trend down! Slight bump up this week but that was to be expected, staying pretty consistently below 150 though and the trend is ever so slowly coming down.

    Are you using an app for the trend?
    Looks like we have similar starting points and goals

    I know I’m starting late, but I was on vacation for the first part of the month.
    I’m a member of Beachbody On Demand and do ok with my workouts, no problem being motivated there. BUT, what is holding me back on those 25ish pounds is that I make poor food choices. I tried to maintain accountability through my BOD coach, but once she realized that was what I needed she tried pushing her FB group geared towards BOD nutrition plans that I can’t afford ($150 for 1 month ONLY of Shakeology). I need a “real life” eating plan that’s sustainable.

    That’s why I’m here. To support and get motivation when it’s needed. I know I can eat right, sometimes I just need a push in the right direction.

    1st March 67.2kg

    15th March 66.1kg

    Forgot to post last week, it was my little girls birthday.

    I keep being good for a few days, see movement on the scale and then sabotage myself, I just don’t know why. Need to get in the right headspace I think.

    Eh. Better than nothing. I gave up work snacks (the doughnuts, cookies, pizza, etc. that people bring in), candy, and fast food for Lent. I went way over in calories yesterday but haven't been terrible otherwise.

    I've been doing the same thing, I need to be more consistent.

    Hi, I'm new here. Let me join in!
    In the last 5 years I gained 15 lbs. It just crept up and I see it all around my face and waist!
    I don't really care about the numbers but more how I feel. I feel heavy with the excess weight. Looking to tone up and feel good in swim suits.

    I am not terribly disappointed in myself after spending 10 days consuming a lot of guacamole and tostadas on the beach, eating out, drinking wine, and generally having a lovely vacation! I'm hoping some of the gain is short-term and I can still make it to my end-of-the-month goal.

    I was 156.2 yesterday, 158 today. No idea why, perhaps water retention from running 9 miles Saturday? I'm going to do measurements today so that I can post inches lost as well as the scale number - I know I'm smaller but the scale isn't reflecting it. I think I'm recomping rather than losing.

    All week the scale flashed a lower number before settling back at 158. Its nice that my weight is consistent but itd be cool if it settled on a lower number one of these days. I just switched forms of birth control a couple weeks ago and got my period yesterday, so maybe that has something to do with it too.

    Losing slowly...but at least it's still going down. I guess with only 5 pounds left to go, "slowly" is to be expected. I've made a diligent effort to tighten up my diet over the past two weeks. I only had two glasses of wine all weekend and although weekends are my rest days, I still managed to walk 14 miles.

    Does anyone check the net calories by the week view to determine if you are on target to lose weight? I’m always at net 3400-4200, but I’m not loosing weight!

    A good week for exercise and strength gains. Did my first 2 unassisted chin-ups this century 😃💪 My energy levels have been pretty good, so my running speed improved this week too. Been eating well too.
    On the downside, I had 3 visual migraines in 24 hours on Mon/Tues - it's been 6 weeks since the last time. I'm lucky that I don't get pain with them, but the 3rd one was more of a worry as it was a retinal/ocular migraine in 1 eye, brought on by a strength workout. Thought it was a T.I.A. at first, but luckily not.
    Anyway, I felt great on Wednesday, went for a cautious run, finished off the strength workout I abandoned on Tues, and squeezed in a Detox yoga workout too. No ill effects. Phew! So I'm easing back on intermittent fasting, focusing on keeping super hydrated, and aiming to burn off the last 3 or 4 lbs of fat and convert to muscle.
    Might be tricky for a few days as I'm travelling for work then a family reunion!
