    Wrong direction 🙁 I'm tracking food pretty accurately (with a scale) and excercising regularly so I'm just going to be patient and trust the process

    What kind of exercises are you performing?
    The gain might be muscle weight

    I felt a little frustrated that it was only a pound but then quickly let that go. It’s still a loss and other factors are playing a part in that (time of the month this week 😩 sorry tmi lol). For next week, my goal is to track everything every day and increase my exercise!🙌

    I'd like to get in on this too. I'm 54. I'll be 55 in January. Married mom who homeschools two teenagers who eat all the time. Long history of overweight, heart disease, diabetes in the women of my family. Life is busy and fitting in time for myself is hard, as I know it is for all of us. Time to put my own health first.

    I'm doing some weightlifting but have been doing that consistently all year. Just recently started tracking what I'm eating. I would say I've mostly been maintaining muscle as I haven't been lifting any heavier just the same sets/weights a couple times a week.

    I'd love to be in...First time caller, long time listener here :smiley: Tip - Little to no alcohol, high protein low carb low sugar...intermitten fasting...4-5 days of exercise (stationary bike for 20-30 mins light + weights moderate). This is my start..If anyone has suggestions, I'd love to hear.

    November 07- 186.0 I just realized the goal is 15 pounds in 10 weeks. I don’t know that I can do that, especially during all the holidays & shopping (restaurant) season, but I will do my very best! However, at 1.5 lbs per weekly weigh-in, I should have already lost 4.5 lbs and I’m already behind! I suppose lofty expectations require lofty goals and well-planned measures. I must work harder.
