WEEK 2 GOALS
• +45k steps for the week
• <1300 cal/day after exercise
• No LNS
• No alcohol M-Th
• Drink more water
• Maintain the nerd sheet nerd 🤓
I am loving my nerd sheet... this is what I’m calling my spreadsheet where I track my intake and burn.
Ya know when you punch an address in your GPS and it says “estimated arrival time”.... and this automatically converts to “time to beat.”
This is how I feel about my nerd sheet. Last week it predicted a 3 lb loss (-2.96 to be exact) and I came in a a whopping -4.8!!! This excites me. Just like arriving before my GPS said I would 😊4 -
Me again....
So I killed my stove today while meal planning. Feel free to DM crock pot/air fryer/microwave recipes. It looks like I can redneck engineer the cook top to work, but no oven.
I also have a grill and a panini press to work with.
I completely believe this is a test of patience.5 -

Week 2, Monday
PW: 188.3 lbs
CW: 184.8 lbs
Been a good week, I think I've finally got on the underside of the "obsesity" BMI category for good. I was a little apprehensive what my weigh-in would be today because last night I had a couple glasses of wine on an empty stomach and a late dinner (first time I've had alcohol since around New Year's, am not really meant to have it with metformin medication). Doesn't look like it did any damage. Nice to know I can do this occasionally.3 -
Meal prep for the week. (Breakfast, snacks and lunch. I'm just missing the dip for the snacks) hopefully I do spoiler right and not flood food pictures

I'm gonna post my runs every Sunday for my 1/2 training

Well I am glad today starts a new week. I feel like I have a fresh canvas to start with. I have closed my diary and I am going to bed when I finish this so there will be no binging tonight. I am tired as Molly woke me up super early to take her out this morning and I had the grandkids Friday/Saturday.
Yesterday’s steps: 10,378
@Beka3695 great goals for the week. I would be lost without my oven.
@kilobykilo hope you are enjoying your travels!
@Luciicul awesome loss! That is great news about the bmi.
@boehle great job with the food prep and marathon training.3 -

Previous week: 241
Today: 239
I lost 2 pounds this week, for a total of 25.5 pounds, and now weigh 239 pounds. I am really happy with that number for many reasons: 1) I reached the magic '25' pounds lost number; 2) I am below 240; 3) I am back to my low on MFP from 2 years ago when I gave up; and 4) I am just 1 pound from my first mini-goal of reaching 238, which is a loss of 10% of my body weight. A great day!6 -

I was camping this weekend and ate uncontrollably. I also got some swimming suit pictures, that I just hate myself in. I am really trying to rally my ambition and use the pictures as inspiration to get after it, but honestly I just feel a little down on myself today. Hopefully tomorrow is better.4 -

@Beka3695 Thanks so much! I wanted to add, I saw your before and after photos on another thread and recognized your name from our group. You look amazing! Job well done. I think others in the group would really appreciate if you posted your before and afters here. It is so inspiring. I didn't have the nerve to take before photos in sports bra, etc. I did finally have a lady at church take my fully dressed photo. And I started taking head shots. I carry so much weight in my face and am starting to see a difference there. Have a great day!

@pjshawley if it was the 5’6-5’7 thread things are not quite the same. I started at 242, lost to 173 then gained back to 232. I am starting over. I cleared my streak counter at 1001 days and deleted all of my old weigh ins.
Here is a before/ during/ restart pic
It helps when your before pic is REALLY bad. My daughter had just graduated from basic training and was being flown to her first station in just a few hours. I had been crying all day!4 -
@Beka3695 I am such an idiot, and SO glad you posted your photos. I now realize that the lady I was looking at in the other thread was a woman who's photos you were commenting on, and not you. You are very pretty in all 3 photos, and I must say, except for the large numbers written over your head in the last photo, I would not have believed that was your weight.
I also know how hard it is to maintain that weight loss. It seems like every decade I gain a bunch and lose a bunch. Now that I am 60, I am really going 'for keeps'.2 -

I know what you mean! When I lost last time, my husband was working out of town and all I had to focus on we ME ME ME!!! I lost it very easily. Then he came home and was tired of dining out - so I cooked...and I ate! AND I ATE AND ATE!!! We have been having the "we are not spring chickens" discussions lately. We are both trying to get healthy. I felt like I was a slave to the counter. So I started over and it has been VERY refreshing. I feel like my head is in a better place than it has been in over a year.
I lost almost 70 lbs with this challenge before. I know I can do it again!!!! WE CAN ALL DO IT TOGETHER!
Oh, and I promise I'm not a hateful person. I just always have a RBF (resting b!+c# face) in all of my mirror selfies
Lastly... I think I will keep taking pics with my weight written on the mirror in dry erase. Great way to know what I am in the pic! Maybe i will smile or smirk next time

@Beka3695 I am another who has lost and gained a few times. The silver lining is that you know you can lose the weight, and how to, and every attempt you learn more about your body and weight loss and get a bit more skilled.
The biggest challenge is in learning how to maintain the loss, not regain, as that is the piece of the puzzle that I have not got right in the past. Not knowing that bit demoralised me, delayed me from getting started on losing the weight, as I was worried that it was doomed to go back on no matter what.
But this year was a wake up call, I figured it would take about a year to lose the weight, and that gave me a year to work out a maintenance plan, so I jumped in. And in learning about insulin’s effect and intermittent fasting, I am hopeful this new knowledge and technique will help me maintain once I get there.
Thanks for sharing your story Beka. It is easy for us to talk about our losses, much harder to face up to regain.2 -

I get what you are saying about every decade gaining and losing. I am like you, now that I am 55, I am not stopping until I am finished. Then it is for keeps.2 -
Hi all! Just me checking in. These check ins help me a lot. Today is my daughters 3rd wedding anniversary. All day I have been toying with the idea of trying on the dress I wore. I was about the same size at the wedding as when I started in February. Today has been good so far. I stuck to my calories yesterday but I didn’t get a swim in. I am logging my food for the next day before I go to bed the last few nights. Hoping that helps.
Yesterday’s steps: 8,399
@pjshawley congrats on your loss! I am so inspired by all your accomplishments.
@guitargirl55 tomorrow is a new day, you got this!
@Efsim way to go on the loss!
@Beka3695 you can do this again! Your attitude is amazing.0 -
