@booksnbrains: why not try an IF as @l4a_p has suggested before? It might be what you need to break the cycle.1

I've been tracking everything, and feeling good. My workouts have been going great. I'm sure some of it is just water with the adjustments to my diet, but my pants are also getting really loose, there's definite losses happening. Still hitting my target calories though, and not feeling particularly hungry, so maybe just the sweet spot for my body to finally let some of this go!8 -

Recap of the week: I am enormously pleased that the weight seems to stabilize now on a lower level after the bloating and meh-ness of the TMO the week before left me a bit desperate. And that with enjoying a few cookies and a lunch out during the weekend. I just kept it within reason.
As for the other goals, still some ways to go to go running a bit more often. The rain is not really helping in getting myself into gear aside from the group training. There’s still plenty of activity, cycling, walking, pole,… But it’s the running that I want to improve. Ah well, will get there.
Off to another week. May you all enjoy it!5 -

Goal #1: maintain between 68 and 70.
Goal #2: restart the pushup challenge, this time with real pushups
Goal #3: keep on logging everything
So, I'm back from my superlong holiday, which kept me away from the scales (which was scary in itself), but I weigh exactly the same as when I left. Lots of parties and diners, but also a lot of diving, so that was a good exercise in maintaining already
I've not been able to bike to work this week as the weather is horrible.
I didn't restart the pushup challenge - no excuse
I did log everything, but then again I ate like a vacuumcleaner, with no mindfulness whatsoever.
So I need to get a grip, I've been there before and this is exactly the point were I normally would slide again. But not this time ! I need to figure out some cardio during the winter months which seem to have started early this year. The logical thing to do is to go the gym, but I don't like it as I'm a real outdoors person. I'll give it a thought though and take a decision before next week. My resting HR is through the roof so something needs to be done.
No exercise + eating without limits = current weight of 71.4
1. No bike to work last week, and very long days staying in meetings without movement.
2. Still didn't restart the push-up challenge
3. I kept logging everything.
Ok, so Im still sliding on wrong side of things. Today is my birthday and my goal was to weigh 70 and I didn't make it. No biggie, I still can do it, but I'll need to change things. It's been two weeks now and I need to find a way to include more exercise. Wednesday evening I will check out a gym close to home to see what they can offer me for the winter months.
Current weight: 71.5
Just a quick post to say I’ve managed to see 70 today, which is my ultimate goal weight. Thank you to you all to keep me accountable and for all your support. I’ll stay here just to keep it on track this time.
Now up to maintenance!
1. I had two long walks and two dives for cardio this week - hubby and I are going to check out a local gym tomorrow evening
2. still didn't start the push-up challenge again, I hope to find the motivation if going to the gym !
3. still logging everything - this is a very good thing as I had the last big party Saturday and I ate everything I wanted to. After logging, I could see that the damage wasn't that important, and I leveled things out on Sunday. So going on strong again, I feel as if I can do this maintenance thing!

Had an amazing weekend. Very productive, fun and exciting. Weather was unbelievable, spent most outside... But come Monday, it's all over. Had a rough morning with my girl and I must've grew grays, my head itches... Drove her across town and to work. 2 hours of driving.
Anyway, OTF starting their Hell Week from the 24~31. Signed up for 5 days. I hope to come out alive! (Hell Week is an intense 8-day personal fitness challenge that will awaken the inner athlete!) My weight isn't moving much. But my body fat % has been under 20% lately. Focusing on increasing protein for good recovery and maintain muscle. I've noticed I am so much stronger on the Right, have to work on my left side.

Happy Monday! @weatherking2019 - you look great!
Little bit of a slump battling mind cold - but earaches & congestion really have me not wanting to work out. Somehow I've kinked up my left shoulder/neck so push up challenge is out for the week. :-/ Just trying to concentrate on maintenance and getting some fresh air daily. I DO NOT have time to be sick right now. It's not THAT bad, just super annoying! I'm just determined not to quit. It will get better.4 -
I was a little more indulgent with my diet this weekend then I was during the week but still stayed under my daily calorie goal. Nevertheless, I gained 2 lbs between Friday and Monday. Disheartening

@l4a_p : where are you? Long time no see...
I knooooow I've been slacking like crazy the past few days! Def need to check in right now for some accountability! Thanks for thinking of me tho! So here goes:
Height: 176cm (5'9")
Weight: 66kg (145,51lbs)
BMI: 21,3
Goals:
1) Again maintain this weight for another month. I don't feel comfortable yet to start trying to lose more weight
2) Be more consistent with the workouts (especially core)
3) Be more consistent with kcal budget: right now I do a lot of days heavily over and then compensate the next day(s) - I want this to be more level headed
4) Continue running on HR and hope to see improvement...
1 October: 65,9kg
8 October: 66,4kg (146,39)
14 October: 65,8kg (145,06)
17 October: 66,1kg (145,73lbs)
22 October: 66,7kg (147,05lbs)
Okay definitely going the wrong way but can't blame anyone but myself and feel lucky it isn't worse. A reading of the past few days:
Wednesday: What's that? Bossman is treating us for lunch? I'd love to join. And of course when I get home I stuff my face with cheese, bread and add some cookies afterwards, why the hell not? Tomorrow will be better right? (+650 kcal over budget)
Thursday: No, it will not... Because yet another coworkers buys icecream (thanks for that mini almond magnum and yes, I will take two) and even though I skip the pasta, my dinner is still overly heavy with mascarpone, pesto, and red wine. Two for two. (+500kcal)
Friday: At least I was smart enough to skip lunch because I was having a girls night at my niece. Wasted effort since the evening consisted of pizza, pumpkin pie, and a whole bottle of wine. (+934)
Saturday: At this point I had given up I think. Breakfast (still at my niece's) was bagels and leftover pumpkin pie... I do love pumpkin pie and def want to try and make it without crust (since that's really the worst part and not even that tasty). And that evening my lover came over so wasn't holding back there either...(I mean, I had plans that just wouldn't do without whipped cream y'know). Add in appetizers, wine, everything for a cosy evening... (+770)
Sunday: Again, restraints are completely out of the window and I'm snacking on everything within reach. Friend came over at night and brought me even more food 🙁 Wine again. (+717)
Monday: Then on monday I really thought I was going to get a grip; I was wrong. I did okay during the day but at supper fell into the trap of eating crackers with condiments and that adds UP. Realising I was *kitten*, I did the logical thing and added in some more cookies. (+691)
Started at 36h fast because I clearly need a reset, fast! (pun intended)

Starting Weight: 215

Goal #1: Completely sober October. Currently 22 out of 22 days with zero alcohol!
Goal #2: Break out of 160s
1st - 168.8
7th - 163.3
14th - 163.2
21st - 160.4
23rd - 160.0 - almost at my goal for the month!
I started this month fresh off a vacation at Universal/Disney in Florida, eating and drinking non stop for days. Aiming to get down to 150 by New Year's Eve for my honeymoon in Jamaica.

This month has been all about the return of the routine! My gym visits are increasing, I’m walking a fair bit, and my eating is controlled. With the exception of this weekend because we were away (and had the most amazing burgers ever!). I am up slightly, but both my moving average and body fat haven’t changed which must mean I am doing something right. I won’t meet my goal this month (certainly not on the weight front), but I am ok with that because I feel like the control is finally back.
What I have noticed is that my wrists and my toe are suffering a bit more now that the weather is colder, which is worrying me a little. I can’t go too heavy on deadlifts (feels like I am stretching out my wrist joints when I do that), and being on all fours is fine as long as I limit the amount of weight I put through my wrists.

Goal#1: Log consistently and accurately! Even on the weekends when I typically overeat and don't track.
Goal#2: Do 20 min of cardio at least daily, take 2-3 long dog walks a week.
I have been logging as accurately as I can using my food scale and weighing myself first thing each morning. I have been staying within my calorie budget daily + exercising and I'm still gaining. I know its only been a week but its pretty discouraging.

It certainly can be discouraging, but we really need to "trust the process" as well! I know I'm really prone to "wooshes" and have lots of data to back that up. If I give in to the discouraging seeming-plateaus, however, I DO stop my forward progress. So hang in there and keep at it!!

it's the 40lbs power lifts at Orange Theory! I was so used to using 12 or 15 on each side. (dumbbells) but the coach keeps pushing to go heavier. I started using 20! I can do on my right for 10x. I struggle on my left around 5x. https://images.app.goo.gl/pDuMX3rK87h4kCkq95 -

@YoureAWalnut Where in your cycle are you? I gain a few days before I am due on, and then also find I’m a little heavier around ovulation.
Umm, I don't really know. I never kept good track and I've had an IUD for 4 years now so haven't had my period for like 3 years. I don't get cramps anymore since the IUD (I had horrible ones for years) so not really sure what symptoms to monitor0
