    Looking forward:
    • February: I need to focus on getting back to where I was pre-Christmas
    • 2020: Goal is to stabilise weight around 145
    • Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
    • Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
    • Cut down on eating between meals

    Never give up! Never give in!
    2018:
    My goal was to get down below 160, to allow me to enjoy the indulgences of holidays and celebrations.
    2019
    I exceeded that and have been below 150 for most of the last 2 months.
    In 2018, I put on 10 lbs over the last 2 months of the year.
    In 2019, I consistently lost weight since the end of July. I put on about 4lbs over the Christmas break, but was still below my original 2019 goal.
    That's a WIN in my book!
    2020
    I need this more than ever now that I am in maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    37yo, 173cm/5'8" female in Amsterdam
    Start weight: 74kg
    Goal weight: 70kg

    My body is my ally

    R102 EW: 73.1kg

    Day/Weight/Comment
    01/28 73.2kg - no exercise, 16.5hrs hrs fast
    My eating window was a bit longer yesterday as dinner took long was quite small and I then had a bunch of snacks, silly me. Today, I stayed home sick, sore throat turned into feeling overall unwell. So hardly any steps and no exercise.
    01/29 73.1kg - no exercise, 16hrs
    Still off sick. I have to accept that I won't meet my step, running or yoga goals this week. It would be nice if Fitbit had an option to add this and put goals on pause.
    01/30 72.8kg - no exercise, 15hrs fast
    Back to work for the day as it is my bosses last day. But I'm not 100% well and will stay home again tomorrow.
    01/31 72.6kg - no exercise, 17.5hrs fast
    Stayed home, sick again feel better. No exercise, just went for a walk which was good. Hopefully I can sneak in a short run on Sunday.
    January stats:
    - 13 runs, 72km
    - 20 days of YWA Home done
    - each week I walked+ran more than 50km
    - average fasting time: 15.7hrs
    02/01 72.4kg - YWA Home Day 21+22, walk, 17hrs fast
    Started the day with yoga.
    I'm very happy with this loss rate, but fasting is easier when home and sleeping longer. So I need to consider my meeting schedule for my eating schedule. I already know stress eating will be a problem, so will aim to take chopped veg for that. Anyway, it's Saturday, why am I already worrying about work?
    02/02 71.8kg - YWA day 23, 16.5hrs fast
    Wow that was unexpected. I didn't eat much yesterday, but still. I'm sure this won't last, but a bump down is still nice to see. Having a very emotionally draining weekend, but on the plus side I didn't stress eat.
    Average fasting time this week: 16.5, up from last week! Back to work tomorrow, see how this week will go.
    Average weight this week: 72.7kg, down 0.6
    02/03 71.9kg - YWA day 24, 16hrs fast
    I ended up doing a yoga session before bed last night, which was really good. Today, i'm back to work as normal and it may be a long work day, but I ordered lunch so I can have the second half later in the day and won't need dinner when I get home late.
    02/04 71.7kg - YWA day 25 (before bed), 13hrs fast
    Got home late yesterday, stayed up late, snacked late and had wine. Bad news at work plus difficult situation at home. But the loss is positive. Today wasn't much better, at least I skipped the wine.

    02/05 72.4kg - 13.5hrs fast

    02/06 72.4kg - YWA day 26,hr fast
    TOM arrived early, weight shows stress, snacking, wine and short fasting. Good loss for the round nonetheless.

    R103: 73.1-72.4 = -0.7kg!!

    @holli1ch Is your scale digital? Have someone else (lighter or heavier) step on your scale or get on holding a heavy item. It may “wake” your scale. If it’s not digital, I would say you just aren’t seeing the daily fluctuations. Hang in there!
