I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......

Waist: 29
Hips 38.5
Beach vacation from the 7th-12th - won't weigh in or check in much during that time, but I do plan to be very active with exercise and keep food within reason.
Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk
Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 7 real push ups
Goal #3: Limit alcohol to 3 days a week
Goal #4:(I had to add 1 more). Stay consistent on Push Up Challenge group. First Day will be August 5th.
8/1 - 145.8 - rode my colt before work. Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch. Stayed under cal allowance & NO alcohol (or chips & salsa)
8/2 - 146.4 - Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch - NO alcohol - staring down a 6.5 hour drive so the reality is that I'll likely go over a bit on calories. Next 2 days I'll be on my feet working. Everyone have a fabulous wknd & I'll be back on Monday!
8/3-4 - DNW - Spent the wknd on my feet helping at a barrel race. So sore by Sunday finish and drove 6.5 hours home. Ate more junk/concession food than I should've, events are tough. Exhausted on the drive home - weakened and had big fat Whataburger bacon cheeseburger with onion rings - it was ridiculously good. On the upside - other than a breakfast burrito - that's about all I had. No alcohol Sat - 1 White Claw on Sunday.
8/5 - 149.2 - Ouch! I think the junk food, lack of water over the wknd hit me pretty hard. Trying to hit it pretty hard this morning - drug my butt out of bed early and rode my colt. Yoga Burn Week 4 & 5 at lunch - Week 1, Day 1 Push Up challenge. Did really well on food - helped that I wasn't hungry - finished at 630 cals.
8/6 - 147 - Whew!! Had a FABULOUS ride on my good horse that's been on vacation to kick off the morning. Yoga Burn week 4 & 5 at lunch.
8/7 - 8/12 - VAAACAAATIOOONNN - BEACHES & ALL THE FOODS
8/13 - 149.4 not really surprised, but getting back at it this morning. We had an absolutely fabulous time in FL and I think I ate my weight in seafood (not a bit sorry). Rode one colt before work this morning & brought my workout clothes. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - day 1 of pushup challenge. Today was a struggle working out. UGH!
8/14 - 146.6 Step in the right direction. Kept my cals under goal yesterday. No riding this morning, but cleaned 3 stalls and started working on some basic leash training with my puppy... I need the mosquitos to die so I can start walking the little heathen. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - Day 2 of pushup challenge at lunch. Hit goal on cals for the day.
8/15 - 146.0 - At least I'm about back to where I started the month and I can now do a rep of 6 pushups. Slept in a bit - my colt is sore - REALLY missed my morning ride.2 -

Also, can I just say I love fasting? 24h is no problem whatsoever, and even 48h I can manage with little difficulty. Pretty proud of myself. My lunch will taste amazing however!
Srsly?! I don't like fasting!! I only do when I have to!! How do you not get hungry?? I get HANGRY 😫so easily- my kids starts to bring me food🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha I can understand, I used to get soooo hangry too but I don't know...it just changed? I thought it had to do with the low carb eating (since carbs fuel insuline which in turns impact ghrelin aka the hunger hormone) but you're doing that too (and way more consistent than I).
And it's really peculiar: I am peckish for most of the time as in "I could eat", but I honestly don't get truly hungry anymore, not for the first 32-ish hours at least. And I love the feeling of being in control and having self discipline that it brings!
I'm impressed!! I think I'm going to try some of the IF - I can go from dinner to lunch without too much trouble. Only times I've ever done 48 hours is with a nasty case of the flu. LOL! I would be so hangry I'd feel sorry for those around me.2 -

1/8 - 50.9kg/112lb
2/8 - 50.8kg/112lb I saw my physio today and she vetoed running and gym for another week (I’ve hurt my lower back) 😕 So for the next week my goal #3 is Run/Walk x 4 and Steady stationary cycle 1hr x 5 🙃
3/8 - 50.8kg/112lbs An hour on the bike, ate within calories but over on carbs 😣
4/8 - 50.6kg/111.5lbs An hour on the bike but over on calories and carbs 😕

8/16 - 146.2 - Much better morning - started with riding a colt I've had turned out for a couple weeks.3 -

SW:123.6
AGW:121
UGW:115
Goal #1: Pass my Body Flow instructor test- thus practice everyday- very nervous about this!
Goal #2: Track and record my food intake, focusing on calories and protein.
Goal #3: Prepare and plan better meals for me and my family.
1/8 -1/7 Visiting parents, definitely not a vacation
7/8 - 123.6- shocked I did not gain weight while away...nice to get home to normalcy.
8/8 -
9/8 -Filmed my video for submission to pass Body Flow instructor test- What a relief that is done, now I have to wait and see. Seem to have caught cold on flight back from visiting parents. Feel awful today
10/8 - Feel worse...Must miss my girlfriend weekend, staying home in bed.
11/8 -123.4 Feel Better but can not breathe thru nose. My son visiting, made his favorite, homemade Spicy tuna rolls sushi and Spicy Ponzu sauce.
12/8 -123.6 Still not feeling great but going to body pump. Did make a wonderful dinner last night. January, Bon Appetit cover recipe - Spicy Pork and Kale soup ( recipe actually Spicy Pork and Mustard Greens but we like Kale better), even my daughter who hate all healthy food said it was delicious. I used leftover roasted veggies instead of rice noodles.
13/8 -123 Finally cold is subsiding but TOM and whopper migraine...took my medication hope to be better shortly - taking my daughter and friends to spin class today. Both girls are anti-exercise so can not pass up opportunity. Seem to have reached a plateau at 123 and can not get below.
14/8 -123.6
15/8 -
16/8 -123.2 Made Ratatouille last night, delicious, I love high volume low calorie foods...Having for breakfast with 2 fried eggs, 1/2 a chicken sausage...great meal before body pump.
17/8 -122.4 Wow thought I would never see below 123...So much wonderful advice in these forums but patience has never been a virtue for me. Been really suffering with migraines the past week, hard to believe it could bewares then normal as normal is now everyday with a headache. Hoping for menopause soon. At the rate I am going I doubt I meet my goal of anywhere 121...but 122 is pretty exciting for me. I guess I am losing less than .5 a week now.

weatherking2019 wrote: »@amn0619 Have you changed anything in your diet? Too much salt? Allergy? I see you mentioned you're lactose intolerant. Lactose and fructose are a part of a larger group of indigestible carbs or fiber known as FODMAPs. FODMAP intolerance is one of the most common causes of bloating and abdominal pain.
I haven't had anything lately that I don't always eat. I did have a soft cheese on Saturday which sometimes give me stomach troubles but usually for a few hours only. I'm wondering if something has changed - I hear intolerances and allergies can come on in adulthood. Or if that cheese is still bothering me somehow? I need to pay closer attention to what I'm eating and see if I can figure it out. I'm so frustrated that I can't get the scale to budge.
I have developed a variety of new allergies, especially to cow cheeses over the last 10 years...according to my allergist this is not uncommon. It started with blue cheese then all moldy cheeses as of late monterrey jack, now gouda cheese...I try to limit my cheese consumption, The theory is the more exposure the more likely to develop an allergy- there is also another theory is we all have our cup of what we can handle some items like walnuts for me immediately fill my cup, but I can have a few almonds and no reaction and then several other food I may be sensitive to and all of a sudden I react to cantaloupe or strawberries today. But I am able to have several days later since my cup is not filled with other allergens. My husband explains better. I just try to avoid cow cheese as much as possible and so I can enjoy on occasion in the future.1 -
SW: 66,6 kg (146,83lbs)
GW: 65,x kg (for this month, I'll be happy to break my current plateau and see that 65 pop up).
I'm adding in measuring as well because the scale hasn't really moved in 2-3 weeks (just the same couple 100 grams up and down) but I did notice change when measuring.
So:
Chest: Don't want to depress myself so refusing to track this
Band: 82cm (32,28in)
Waist: 75cm (29,53in) - good progress, came from 80
Belly: 91cm (35,83in)
Hip: 99cm (38,98in) - hard to judge because I'm also trying to grow the glutes...
Thigh: 56cm (22,05in) - specifically happy with these, was 58 last month and 60 the month before
Goal #1: Shave of some centimeters of the measurements
Goal #2: Work up to regular pushups (instead of on the knee, pathetic I know)
Goal #3: Do my fav core routine in 1 go. I can do it pretty well because my core is well trained but there is usual these tiny extra few pauses I take.
Goodluck everyone! Work hard & feel good!
1 August: Bad day kcal wise, but fun day otherwise!
Went to dinner and a club which lead to a 3000kcal day (mainly because of all the alcohol)
2 August: Super hungover but at least under my kcal goal (but over carbs)
3 August: Good gym workouts and reasonable good eating
4 August: Scandalous day... again nearing 3000kcal and just ate everything that was offered to me (crackers & cheese, way too much wine, ribs,...)
5 August: Partly to compensate and partly because I feel like it, I've started a 36h fast. 16h in now and getting a bit hungry but know that it will pass.
6 August: The fast went really great, had little to no problems whatsoever. Yoghurt the next day tasted awesome tho!
7 August: 65.5kg - 144,4lbs // Had a very good day yesterday, under my calories and also way under carbs! (Which I find more important but more difficult to achieve). Yesterday evening I *really* wanted some cookies, but was at kcal budget for the day. Took them out of the cupboard, stood smelling them, but after a minute I put them back... Insane willpower moment but very happy I did. Might finally be breaking my plateau
12 August: 67.1kg - 147,93lbs //Waw. I really screwed up guys. To gain 1.5kg in a week time.. that's almost impressive. Not surprised though, I really let it slide this weekend. In 3 days time I ate the kcal equivalent surplus of an extra day. Lots of wine every day, had a dinner party on Saturday, ate the leftovers from the dinnerparty on Sunday, even had freaking Ben&Jerry's,... And this week is not looking any better so thinking of extending my regular 16:8 rhythm into 20:4 for today and tomorrow + Wednesday is going to be another 36h fast. And then back on track! (I hope). It's insane how quickly and gladly the body adds weight again, and a bit depressive; can't ever stop being vigilant and strict apparently. =(
15 August: 65.5kg - 144,4lbs // I'm not really logging this weight in the app because, since I have been on a fast for 47h now (I decided to do 48 instead of 36, 1 more hour to go!) the weight loss isn't "real". Will log the weight tomorrow.I did just go for my first supershort run again, after weeks of letting an injury heal up. Fingers crossed I can manage to run injury free this go around!
19 August: 66.1kg - 145,73lbs
Definitely been here before weight wise, let's hope it will continue down and stop yoyo-ing up to 67kg again! I'm carefully hopeful: the weekend wasn't very healthy so having this result Monday morning does seems like a promising prospect. There are 3 fancy dinners planned this week though, so will need to keep myself in check!
Also received the best compliment ever this weekend! A (gay) friend of mine came over and saw me switching shirts. He stopped mid-sentence to stare and said: "Wow, you look ripped!" (honestly it requires the right lighting + stretching for my abs to be visible but what the hell, I take it!)
On the downside: my measurements have not moved an inch

SW: 74.6 kg
GW: 72 kg
Goal #1: Bike to work 2 times a week - a total of 66 km a day with an electric bike
Goal #2: Stay around my goal calories, regardless of extra exercise
Goal #3: Prep for homework days
Week 1: got all three goals, but I gained some weight back, thus still 74.6 this morning
Ok, so I met all three goals last week, and I've added the 100 push-up challenge. This morning I was at 75.9 !
I know I shouldn't focus on the number on the scale, but it is starting to get a bit discouraging. I just had a weekend with a family bbq, where my daily total was around 2.000 kcal, and yesterday I was around 1.800 kcal dealing with leftovers, but that should be no reason to have gained more than a full kilo when all the other days I had a big deficit.
My body isn't reacting as it should (and I know it well by know) and that is frustrating.
Ow well ... I'll stop the rant and just get on with it I guess.
72.4
I got my goals last week, except only one bike to work, as my bike needed repair so I had to skip my last ride. I'm also still doing the pushup challenge, still on the knees but it's a start.
Weightwise, I've lost a whopping 3.5 kilo's in one week, which isn't possible so I'm now pretty sure that last week was just a wonky number on the scale.
I also got 3 dives in, and I made up with a very dear friend, so life is good at this moment

Hips 38.5
Beach vacation from the 7th-12th - won't weigh in or check in much during that time, but I do plan to be very active with exercise and keep food within reason.

Goal #4:(I had to add 1 more). Stay consistent on Push Up Challenge group. First Day will be August 5th.
8/1 - 145.8 - rode my colt before work. Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch. Stayed under cal allowance & NO alcohol (or chips & salsa)
8/2 - 146.4 - Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch - NO alcohol - staring down a 6.5 hour drive so the reality is that I'll likely go over a bit on calories. Next 2 days I'll be on my feet working. Everyone have a fabulous wknd & I'll be back on Monday!
8/3-4 - DNW - Spent the wknd on my feet helping at a barrel race. So sore by Sunday finish and drove 6.5 hours home. Ate more junk/concession food than I should've, events are tough. Exhausted on the drive home - weakened and had big fat Whataburger bacon cheeseburger with onion rings - it was ridiculously good. On the upside - other than a breakfast burrito - that's about all I had. No alcohol Sat - 1 White Claw on Sunday.
8/5 - 149.2 - Ouch! I think the junk food, lack of water over the wknd hit me pretty hard. Trying to hit it pretty hard this morning - drug my butt out of bed early and rode my colt. Yoga Burn Week 4 & 5 at lunch - Week 1, Day 1 Push Up challenge. Did really well on food - helped that I wasn't hungry - finished at 630 cals.
8/6 - 147 - Whew!! Had a FABULOUS ride on my good horse that's been on vacation to kick off the morning. Yoga Burn week 4 & 5 at lunch.
8/7 - 8/12 - VAAACAAATIOOONNN - BEACHES & ALL THE FOODS
8/13 - 149.4 not really surprised, but getting back at it this morning. We had an absolutely fabulous time in FL and I think I ate my weight in seafood (not a bit sorry). Rode one colt before work this morning & brought my workout clothes. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - day 1 of pushup challenge. Today was a struggle working out. UGH!
8/14 - 146.6 Step in the right direction. Kept my cals under goal yesterday. No riding this morning, but cleaned 3 stalls and started working on some basic leash training with my puppy... I need the mosquitos to die so I can start walking the little heathen. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - Day 2 of pushup challenge at lunch. Hit goal on cals for the day.
8/15 - 146.0 - At least I'm about back to where I started the month and I can now do a rep of 6 pushups. Slept in a bit - my colt is sore - REALLY missed my morning ride. UGH of a day - went with my bosses to lunch and inhaled a massive enchilada plate, chips & salsa, and a big ol' sopapilla. Dinner was 2 White Claws so didn't go too far over cals.
8/16 - 146.2 - Much better morning - started with riding a colt I've had turned out for a couple weeks. Wound up being a long day - work/life got in the way of my workouts. We took the kids to the local fiesta all evening, no workout and carnival food.
8/19 - 145.8 - Rode this morning, ready to get back on track.1 -

Lots of wine every day, had a dinner party on Saturday, ate the leftovers from the dinnerparty on Sunday, even had freaking Ben&Jerry's,... And this week is not looking any better so thinking of extending my regular 16:8 rhythm into 20:4 for today and tomorrow + Wednesday is going to be another 36h fast. And then back on track! (I hope). It's insane how quickly and gladly the body adds weight again, and a bit depressive; can't ever stop being vigilant and strict apparently. =(
15 August: 65.5kg - 144,4lbs // I'm not really logging this weight in the app because, since I have been on a fast for 47h now (I decided to do 48 instead of 36, 1 more hour to go!) the weight loss isn't "real". Will log the weight tomorrow.I did just go for my first supershort run again, after weeks of letting an injury heal up. Fingers crossed I can manage to run injury free this go around!
19 August: 66.1kg - 145,73lbs
Definitely been here before weight wise, let's hope it will continue down and stop yoyo-ing up to 67kg again! I'm carefully hopeful: the weekend wasn't very healthy so having this result Monday morning does seems like a promising prospect. There are 3 fancy dinners planned this week though, so will need to keep myself in check!
Also received the best compliment ever this weekend! A (gay) friend of mine came over and saw me switching shirts. He stopped mid-sentence to stare and said: "Wow, you look ripped!" (honestly it requires the right lighting + stretching for my abs to be visible but what the hell, I take it!)
On the downside: my measurements have not moved an inch
AWESOME compliment!! Definitely counts as a huge NSV!2 -

SW: 74.6 kg
GW: 72 kg
Goal #1: Bike to work 2 times a week - a total of 66 km a day with an electric bike
Goal #2: Stay around my goal calories, regardless of extra exercise
Goal #3: Prep for homework days
Week 1: got all three goals, but I gained some weight back, thus still 74.6 this morning
Ok, so I met all three goals last week, and I've added the 100 push-up challenge. This morning I was at 75.9 !
I know I shouldn't focus on the number on the scale, but it is starting to get a bit discouraging. I just had a weekend with a family bbq, where my daily total was around 2.000 kcal, and yesterday I was around 1.800 kcal dealing with leftovers, but that should be no reason to have gained more than a full kilo when all the other days I had a big deficit.
My body isn't reacting as it should (and I know it well by know) and that is frustrating.
Ow well ... I'll stop the rant and just get on with it I guess.
72.4
I got my goals last week, except only one bike to work, as my bike needed repair so I had to skip my last ride. I'm also still doing the pushup challenge, still on the knees but it's a start.
Weightwise, I've lost a whopping 3.5 kilo's in one week, which isn't possible so I'm now pretty sure that last week was just a wonky number on the scale.
I also got 3 dives in, and I made up with a very dear friend, so life is good at this moment
The push-up challenge group is currently kicking my butt - but I do feel like I'm getting stronger.2 -

Goal #1: Pass my Body Flow instructor test- thus practice everyday- very nervous about this!
Goal #2: Track and record my food intake, focusing on calories and protein.
Goal #3: Prepare and plan better meals for me and my family.
1/8 -1/7 Visiting parents, definitely not a vacation
7/8 - 123.6- shocked I did not gain weight while away...nice to get home to normalcy.
8/8 -
9/8 -Filmed my video for submission to pass Body Flow instructor test- What a relief that is done, now I have to wait and see. Seem to have caught cold on flight back from visiting parents. Feel awful today
10/8 - Feel worse...Must miss my girlfriend weekend, staying home in bed.
11/8 -123.4 Feel Better but can not breathe thru nose. My son visiting, made his favorite, homemade Spicy tuna rolls sushi and Spicy Ponzu sauce.
12/8 -123.6 Still not feeling great but going to body pump. Did make a wonderful dinner last night. January, Bon Appetit cover recipe - Spicy Pork and Kale soup ( recipe actually Spicy Pork and Mustard Greens but we like Kale better), even my daughter who hate all healthy food said it was delicious. I used leftover roasted veggies instead of rice noodles.
13/8 -123 Finally cold is subsiding but TOM and whopper migraine...took my medication hope to be better shortly - taking my daughter and friends to spin class today. Both girls are anti-exercise so can not pass up opportunity. Seem to have reached a plateau at 123 and can not get below.
14/8 -123.6
15/8 -
16/8 -123.2 Made Ratatouille last night, delicious, I love high volume low calorie foods...Having for breakfast with 2 fried eggs, 1/2 a chicken sausage...great meal before body pump.
17/8 -122.4 Wow thought I would never see below 123...So much wonderful advice in these forums but patience has never been a virtue for me. Been really suffering with migraines the past week, hard to believe it could bewares then normal as normal is now everyday with a headache. Hoping for menopause soon. At the rate I am going I doubt I meet my goal of anywhere 121...but 122 is pretty exciting for me. I guess I am losing less than .5 a week now.
18/8 -123.4 Chineese take out lucky not higher number considering the sodium and how I love retaining water
19/8 -123.4 Seem to love 123 but good news for a Monday - is a great number. Still suffering this migraine, becoming exhausted fighting the pain. I am feeling a little better this evening, the first time I have had break, hope to have finally broke this cycle.

8/8 107.8 / 20.6%
8/13 108 / 20.8%
8/20 109 / 20.6%
ummm... not sure what to make of this. Up and down, up and down. 😕
The only thing I can think of is "stress". My work environment is not the best at the moment and with 2 ppl leaving last week, the "boss" is not happy. We have ppls from HQ coming in next week and I am going to be swamped dealing with them so a bit stressed with that. And with all the kids going back to school the household was upside down!
Running into my BF's exmil at Costco last night and him saying "I'm trying to dodge her" at the line and later in the parking lot approaching her "hi" asking how she is and whether they are going to be at the Greek fest this weekend etc. got me in a bad mood too.😤
I need to let my steam out at OTF tonight. 8 more hours...3 -

I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
Bust: 39
Band: 34
Waist: 29
Hips 38.5
Beach vacation from the 7th-12th - won't weigh in or check in much during that time, but I do plan to be very active with exercise and keep food within reason.
Goal #1: Workout 5 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk
Goal #2: Build Upper Body Strength - 90 Second Planks - Forearm & Extended Do 7 real push ups
Goal #3: Limit alcohol to 3 days a week
Goal #4:(I had to add 1 more). Stay consistent on Push Up Challenge group. First Day will be August 5th.
8/1 - 145.8 - rode my colt before work. Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch. Stayed under cal allowance & NO alcohol (or chips & salsa)
8/2 - 146.4 - Did Week 3 & 4 Yoga Burn at lunch - NO alcohol - staring down a 6.5 hour drive so the reality is that I'll likely go over a bit on calories. Next 2 days I'll be on my feet working. Everyone have a fabulous wknd & I'll be back on Monday!
8/3-4 - DNW - Spent the wknd on my feet helping at a barrel race. So sore by Sunday finish and drove 6.5 hours home. Ate more junk/concession food than I should've, events are tough. Exhausted on the drive home - weakened and had big fat Whataburger bacon cheeseburger with onion rings - it was ridiculously good. On the upside - other than a breakfast burrito - that's about all I had. No alcohol Sat - 1 White Claw on Sunday.
8/5 - 149.2 - Ouch! I think the junk food, lack of water over the wknd hit me pretty hard. Trying to hit it pretty hard this morning - drug my butt out of bed early and rode my colt. Yoga Burn Week 4 & 5 at lunch - Week 1, Day 1 Push Up challenge. Did really well on food - helped that I wasn't hungry - finished at 630 cals.
8/6 - 147 - Whew!! Had a FABULOUS ride on my good horse that's been on vacation to kick off the morning. Yoga Burn week 4 & 5 at lunch.
8/7 - 8/12 - VAAACAAATIOOONNN - BEACHES & ALL THE FOODS
8/13 - 149.4 not really surprised, but getting back at it this morning. We had an absolutely fabulous time in FL and I think I ate my weight in seafood (not a bit sorry). Rode one colt before work this morning & brought my workout clothes. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - day 1 of pushup challenge. Today was a struggle working out. UGH!
8/14 - 146.6 Step in the right direction. Kept my cals under goal yesterday. No riding this morning, but cleaned 3 stalls and started working on some basic leash training with my puppy... I need the mosquitos to die so I can start walking the little heathen. Yoga Burn week 5 and Week 2 - Day 2 of pushup challenge at lunch. Hit goal on cals for the day.
8/15 - 146.0 - At least I'm about back to where I started the month and I can now do a rep of 6 pushups. Slept in a bit - my colt is sore - REALLY missed my morning ride. UGH of a day - went with my bosses to lunch and inhaled a massive enchilada plate, chips & salsa, and a big ol' sopapilla. Dinner was 2 White Claws so didn't go too far over cals.
8/16 - 146.2 - Much better morning - started with riding a colt I've had turned out for a couple weeks. Wound up being a long day - work/life got in the way of my workouts. We took the kids to the local fiesta all evening, no workout and carnival food.
8/19 - 145.8 - Rode this morning, ready to get back on track. Yoga Burn Week 6 at lunch and Push Up Challenge Week 3 (I had to modify it a bit) Did decent with food, went a bit over
NSV for me - 7,5,6,5,7 - I met my goal of being able to do 7 pushups in a rep! Knocked out total of 30 today!
8/20 - 146.8 - I think it's water weight from last night's pasta. Exhausted so I took the morning off from riding.3
