Track: Yes
Calories: under
Exercise: no...although I did spend 6 hours tidying and cleaning so I imagine that counts if unintentional!
Goals/Day/Comments: a good day! I'm still in my first week of adjusting my calorie intake so I'm definitely hungry. This historically has panicked me but I'm working through it. I'm making a concerted effort to drink the water I need (Ive never really done this before) and I'm really proud of myself for sticking with it! I have to use the loo alllllllll the time (😂) but I'm definitely feeling better for it!
It'll get easier Laura, yes increasing your water intake is very important on this new journey. For me the main thing is having a low carb drink on hand for when you stop eating for the day it calm those cravings at the end of the day. So I make a herbal ice tea with ¼ cup lemon juice and ½ cup of honey per 1 gallon.1 -

@aadubb I fast every single day 18-24 hours and sometimes longer, as long as 48 hours, and I lift weights fasted with no issues, actually I prefer to do it that way, my mental clarity is better! I'd be interested in seeing how you like it overall..
@AB0215 The fast went well I think. Not sure if I was too lose weight but the scale didn't budge too much. I suppose the internal benefits of fasting will have to be enough. I struggle with weekend snacking so fasting on weekends might have to be the new thing because when I don't start to eat I'm just fine. I was burning ketones so that was good and I don't feel like gorging now so that's good. I really wasn't hungry at all. My belly was making noise but other than that nothing major happened. I ran 7k yesterday and went to the gym this morning, so my activity wasn't hindered at all. So overall good experience!2 -

Hey team 👋🏻
Just wondering if anyone has any tips on breaking through a plateau? For the past 10 days or so, my weight has been bouncing between 149.4 and 149.5...I feel like I’m in that film Groundhog Day 😆 If anyone has any tips or advice on how to get things moving again it would be much appreciated!
Thanks 🥰
Avril, sometimes you have to shake things up to break your plateau. That means eating more or less and changing up your exercise routine may do the trick. Hope this helps.
When I did Jenny Craig many years ago they used to put us on what they called the "break point" plan if we reached a plateau. It is basically a week of eating low calories one day and high calories the next day. If you typically eat 1200 calories a day you would eat 800 calories one day and 1600 calories the next on the break point menu. It was miserable but it usually worked.1 -

Looking forward to the week and what the scale brings. Hoping to end the week with a 2 to 3 pound loss. Need to stop the over-snacking, it's slowing me down. I need to stop the habitual replacement of healthier snacks like my fruits, with the starchy carbs on my allowed list. it's not good practice for lifestyle changes going forward.

It was a busy week last week work wise. I'm glad I was able to squeeze off another pound. I hope I never go above 200 again.
About 12 years ago (2017) I did a stupid thing and had gastric lap band surgery. I liked the idea of it because it was totally reversible, unlike the gastric bypass (the only other option at the time). What they didn't know at the time was that the thing doesn't work...it worked for about a month for me. Most clinics won't even perform that surgery now. The BIG problem is that the thing can slip or erode in your body causing major infections...resulting in the need for emergency surgery. I have a fear that this thing is starting to slip. I can barely eat heavy protein like chicken or steak now without throwing up. I barely ate about 3 oz of steak last night before I had to throw up. I couldn't even eat the vegetables I had prepared (very yummy sautéed squash, zucchini and onions). I also have really bad heartburn, which is another symptom. It's not really bad yet, but I so hate that I did this to myself so many years ago. I also have this fear that maybe that thing is maybe helping me in some way to lose weight....although my doctor assured me that it is not......that what I am doing now is all me. Just my normal fears and worries I guess.
Goals this month:
1. Lose 7 lbs
2. Continue to average walking 10,000 steps a day

@CindyJNC1963 Great day and awesome loss! You're still plugging along!
And I wouldn't call the lapband stupid, you made the best decision you could with the available data at the time. You truly believed it would help, however, you do posses the power to change your life, as you're proving now. I hope that you start feeling better, don't let your fears get to you, you are doing amazing!
@cydneebauman Nice day! Sometimes we do need rest! And awesome loss this week! Keep it up!
@Fitness327wk Glad you made it back to barre, it's amazing when we don't do something for a while how hard it can be!
@vicky2767 Awesome day!!
@lsjhudson Nice day, even if you went over your calories a little bit, it's still a step in the right direction!! And you'r still doing great, awesome loss this week!!
@2muchchocncrisps A loss is still a loss, great start to June!
@digger61 You're doing great, glad to see you getting back to your activity!
@SLIMn2016 Once again, stellar day!
@Gadgetgirl259 Rocking it, nice loss!
@o0kody0o Awesome day!! Hang in there, some weeks are like that, and sometimes TOM isn't nice to us.
@aadubb That's usually been my experience with extended fasts, and well food in general, if I don't touch it, I'm fine, if I touch it, I overeat...so intermittent fasting works best for me, and sometimes I do an extended fast every month of couple of months, makes me feel like I'm in control, even though, one little mishap and I am most certainly not in control. And I've never had an issue with energy, always lift weights and do my cardio as normal...
And awesome weigh in!! WTG!
@eamitch88 Nice day, glad you got in a walk, even though you weren't feeling well, sometimes it can help, hopefully you're back to normal soon.
@gjaholy33 While you may have only lost 7 lbs last month, that's 7 less lbs that you're carrying around, and what you gained outside of the scale is so much more important. You resisted the temptation to fall into old patterns when it got tough, which is truly inspirational, so keep hanging in there, you will get there.
@OkieGina Hang in there, you'll get it next week!
@skayy007 Aweosme loss! Great start to June!!!
@angiequinby Great loss this week!

And if anyone is interested, here's a snipet of today's workout! This is what my Clean+Hang Clean+Split Jerk set looks like.

Track yes
Calories No! Well over*
Exercise Yes 11500 steps including lots of stairs.
Comment *Special day out today with treats that definitely won’t happen again for a long while. Faithfully logged and although I wasn’t surprised it just illustrated how bad some foods are. Classic junk lunch meal that consisted of burger, sweet potato fries and milkshake (and later a caramel Frappuccino) exceeded my daily limit by a lot (without adding breakfast). Just loads of calories from fat and sugar. Too full to eat any dinner otherwise it would have been even worse!
Tuesday plan = drink lots of water, keep moving and keep well under my calorie goal.

Daily post for Monday 6/3
Track: yes
Calories: yes under
Exercise: stairs at work and 265 squats
Water: about 240 oz
Back on track, and I feel much better.... gonna have to undo the weekend damage... but I will say it was very tasty damage!!! haha And I still stayed in the 140s, so I didn't do TOO bad. I am done with the 150s and need to continue moving on from there, so since I just got in the 140s, at this point, I don't mind any "damage" I do, as long as I stay in the 140s...
I am not trying to race to my goal of 135, but at the same time, I don't want to take a year. Slow and steady with fluctuations is fine cuz life happens.
And when life gives me cake.... I eat it. I just make sure it's a small portion, cuz life will also give me chips and cookies when it gives me cake....
But then the day (or weekend...lol) is done, and I make adjustments the rest of the week. Learning how to manage (and enjoy) these festive food events is part of how I will learn to maintain my weight and not gain 30 lbs in 4-6 months.....(again)....

I agree with you. Life happens. Sometimes it’s ok to eat the cake. Lol. I too am learning to just eat small portions of these goodies. I too do not want to go through life without being able to have them. Just need to control how much of it I eat. So well done.
And holy Batman 265 squats? Dang gurl. Way to go.
