    I'm going to add in one thing to force myself to measure at the end of the month......
    Bust: 38 - Aug (-1")
    Band: 33 - Aug (-1")
    Waist: 28.5 - Aug (-.5")
    Hips 38.5- No change in Aug

    Goal #1: Workout 4 days a week - Yoga Burn/Bike/Walk
    Goal #2: Be consistent with push up challenge - Restarting 1/6/20
    Goal #3: Stay under on intake min of 5 days a week
    Goal #4: Replace nightly glass of wine with herbal tea 3x a week

    1/2 - Oh joy - I've been putting off forcing myself to get back the groove...but seeing 150 on the scale this morning was a wake up call. Kicked the day off with Fast till lunch and brought a decent one with me to work. Been fighting a cold and just not giving a damn. So - I'm grateful for this group and it's baby steps today. No sugar and get intake under control. Off at 3 to go video horses - been fighting lots of deadlines & stress - it's been tough to get much exercise.
    1/3 - 148.8 - no workout yesterday, but did well on cals & stuck to no sugar. Working on the same things today.
    1/6 - 149.2 - Sat was great, super busy and did well on food.... Sunday - was stuck watching a volleyball tournament for most of the day and they over did it at dinner. Back at it today.
    /17 - 149.0 - Did well on eating - IF in the A.M. and under my 1420 for the day. Working to get back in the habit of logging every.single.bite. Pretty stationary day :-1: Worked thru lunch and appointment afterward... I'm shooting to get to workout Wed-Sun. Life is insane at the moment....but I can concentrate on intake- that's always doable.
    1/8 - Running late this morning and forgot to weigh.. Yesterday I took my 96yo Gram to dinner, fortunately she chose a French place so I did stay under on my cals - but no workout. On another note - we bought her one of the digital skylight frames and I HIGHLY recommend it. Super easy to set up last night and our entire family has been emailing pictures to it. She doesn't have to do a thing and LOVES it. She can't see the pictures very well on her phone when we send them and refuses to touch a computer - this frame is fabulous. IF this morning, I'm starving but there's no junk food at work so I'll make it. :D

    Hi, so I have posted my goals on here... I was wondering if this was just a thread to post to show how we are doing or if we will be pairing off?

    Goal #1: keep eating nutritious smoothies
    Goal #2: keep exercising
    Goal #3: focus on the big picture and not small set backs

    I have been sick for basically all of December. Various viral infections and strep. I’m just starting to come to the other side and back to wellness. Due to the illnesses, I have really had to focus on tracking my food and staying within my calorie budget. Because of that I have still been consistently losing weight, but I truly miss working out. I know the gym is packed right now, but I want to be in the thick of it moving my body. I plan to get back into it on Monday, should I have the energy and feel well enough.

    Started a 8 week weight training program on Monday, so my scale has definitely jumped up due to the water weight, but I am excited for the progress I am going to make with it.

    1/2/20: 142.6
    1/8/20: 144.4 Didn't jump on the scale, and busy trying to get my schedule all aligned - work has been insane, and I'm extraordinarily unhappy in this area, so am also starting to seriously plan a move out of here....

    It's tough living in a area that just doesn't suit you.... If it wasn't for my fiance, I'd be getting the hell out of here. I try really hard to focus on the positive, but everyday I remember why I left NM the first time when I was 18. It's the most backwards place I've ever been. There's so few opportunities, the poverty levels, the crime & drug use... I miss my little Texas town.

    I have been making a lot of progress towards my goals, sticking to IF, keto and running 5 days a week. We have been getting a lot of snow so I've been putting in a lot of treadmill miles, which is making me feel a little stir crazy.

    SW:112 ... yes found few pounds!
    GW:110... for the month of January
    CBF: 20.6%
    Goal BF%: 19%

    Goal #1:Stick to light dinner diet
    Goal #2:Drinks on weekends only
    Goal #3: OTF 4x week

    9/30 109.6, 19.6%
    10/30 108, 19.1%
    11/27 108.4, 19.4%
    12/31 112, 20.6%
    1/4 110.6, 20.2%
    1/8 111.2, 20.3% measurements: 33.5, 27, 33
    1/9 112, 20.4%

    I'm going to stop weighing in so often. It's too depressing! Cutting it down to once a week.
    I don't look any different or measure different. Just getting dense? But why the BF% increase? Don't get it.
    On the bright side, when I got home yesterday from work, my daughter was cooking dinner and played piano afterwards! Unbelievable... Made my day✨✨

    Oh and I don't like the winter months either- just hate the ever gray sky and having to bundle up. But home is where you make it and for a morning like today makes me appreciate life.

    Wednesday Complete disaster! Way over calories and zero exercise.
    Thursday: Complied with calorie target, weights session and negative chin up session.

    Feeling kind of defeated. I thought I would've lost more than 2 lbs in this past week, but hopefully next week goes better. I started lifting weights again so maybe the soreness is why I'm not getting back to my normal weight as fast. Sugar intake should be decreasing since Xmas treats are mostly gone now.

    little late to the party here but I would love to join. I have been working out for the last 5-6 years and lost a good amount of weight until 2.5 years ago when I had a few medical problems. Fast forward to December 2019, I finally hired an online coach and I am a month down and I have lost 15 pounds so far. I would love to get down another 15 pounds.


    Goal 1: Stick to my training/diet plan
    Goal 2: Body acceptance
    Goal 3: Buy a new swimsuit

    No bloating, I just ate too much and moved too little :neutral:
    Luckily, this week is finally (!!) a normal workweek, so it should be easier to keep the routine schedule.
    As for my goals:

    1. Didn't get it, only 55K, so 15K short
    2. Didn't get it either, I barely ate at a deficit this week
    3. This one I did do, luckily !! :smiley:

    So all in all, not doing well, but this is a new and better week! Let's crush this !

    BMI: 22

    MEASUREMENTS
    Stomach: 82cm (32,82") -> 83cm (32,68) ^up 1cm (.5") last month
    Waist: 75cm (29,53") - no movement last month
    Belly/Upperhip: 90cm (35,43") - no movement last month
    Hips: 99cm (38,98") - no movement last month
    Thighs: 58cm (22,83") -> ^up 1cm (.5") last month (up 2cm (1") since November)

    GOALS
    #1 Still working on that actual pull-up/chin-up. I definitely feel I've become stronger yet the full range movement is still (way) out of reach.
    #2 Get back down to my "stable" weight of 66.x kg
    #3 Do IF more conscientiously; I've often ended too soon at 13 or 14 hours instead of the minimum 16.

    2 Jan - 68,7kg (151,46lbs)...
    6 Jan - 68kg (149,91lbs), 7day average
    13 Jan - 67,8kg (149,47lbs), 7 day average
    Well, barely any result last week but I didn't do well with food either so not a surprise. At least IF has been back on track and I'm starting a 48h fast today. It's high time for a firm sugar-craving-reset!

    14 do you do "slow cadence" negative chin/pull ups? They are the one move I found useful in achieving positives chin/ pull ups. I also recommend watching Athlean X tutorial videos on Youtube. Good luck!
