    Daily Report:
    *5/1 – 134.6 - I am ready to start this month off and get it rocking and rolling! Worked out AND tracked all calories. Let’s go!
    5/2 - Nothing
    5/3 – Nada - Weekends are rough. I need to figure out a method to stay focused through my varying schedule.
    *5/4 -137.6 – Crazy how two bad days can make me feel horrible. Ready to get back on it today! Finished my work-out this morning, and already tracking calories!
    *5/5 – Another good day, calories and workout complete!
    *5/6 – Off to a slow start this morning, but doing well on calories and hoping to complete my work-out this afternoon. – Work out completed and all calories tracked.
    *5/7 – 135.6 – a very depressing weigh-in. Other than last weekend, I am doing really well. Hoping to see that number go down tomorrow since I officially track the number on Fridays. SO sore from working out. I really, really don’t want to do it today, but here we go! Success.
    *5/8 – 134.6 – I didn’t gain but I didn’t lose either. Today is a much needed scheduled rest-day in my workout program, so excited to have a break. 
    *5/9 One of my first Saturdays ever where I actually stayed on track.
    *5/10 - 133.6 - The workout killed but I finished it.SO happy with this weight!

    May GW: get back to 70

    1. Get my snacking under control. I'm good with my three meals, but it is the inbetween and evening snacks that undo everything
    2. My May goal is exactly the same as the April goal, I'll keep on reporting here on a daily basis until I get to 70 again.
    3. Hopefully, we will get back to diving again somewhere this month, which burns calories like crazy

    May - wow! I've been snowed under the last 2 wks. Finished a major project this morning that's been sucking up every minute of my time and energy when I'm not in the office. I had an old friend (we've been social distancing and so has she) stay with us for a week - she's not in good health and required the rest of my energy to try to help her. Big lesson in WHY we need to keep our bodies strong. We've had my hubby's kids with us pretty much non-stop the whole quarantine - this isn't easy on a 42 that's never had children in the house. I'm not very domesticated so figuring out quick meals took some doing. Bought new batteries for my scale today and ready to get back to daily weigh ins. I'm focusing on doing a few things for me this month - can't pour from an empty cup. I will have my goals for the month lined out by Monday. This wknd is the first time we've had alone in since this mess started March 15th - I'm not going to worry too much about it and simply enjoy the quiet time with my husband. Steaks on the grill & cocktails is on the menu tonight.

    5/6 - 145.2 - Put new batteries in the scale this morning and weighed for the first time in a WHILE! Nothing like weighing in after celebrating Cinco de Mayo all day yesterday....but gotta start somewhere! Rode for a few hours and did well on calories but not nutritionally.
    5/7 - 143.0 - took the evening off for an 'at-home' date night.
    5/8 - 144.5 - chocolate cake & wine last night and it's showing this morning.... weekend is almost here and I'll get in 23432342343 steps and sunshine.
    5/12 - 144.6 - Too many carbs last night...My mother-in-law is going to be in charge of dinner for a couple of weeks and she's a phenomenal cook, but it's going to be lots of mexican food. I'm just going to concentrate on portion control. On the upside - no workout, but I hauled 50lbs grain sacks and moved hay bales. My hubby is laid up for a bit so I'm riding his horses as well as mine. Rode for 3-1/2 hours. I have no idea what that burns, I don't feel like the burn on here is right - I don't think I use that much actually riding so I'm not logging it.
    5/14 - I swear I feel so fluffy right now, eating way more carbs in the evening than I'm used to isn't the greatest - but I'm not in charge of meals and that's fabulous. Worked at the barn for 3 hours last night riding... I've got to get 4 worked this evening and I'm just so tired. At least tomorrow is Friday and my husband is getting around a little bit better daily. I'm betting by next weekend he'll be more back to normal...hopefully.

    Logged everyday and worked out twice, but only walked twice this week. I’ll try to go walking and do my stretch session this weekend. I’m going back to a small deficit this week: diet break is over.

    15/05: 69.7kg
    I’ve been stuck at the same weight for 2 weeks: last week I was eating at maintenance but this week was back to a small deficit. I hoped to lose something 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve worked out, logged cal, but I just went for a walk twice this week, instead of everyday like I used to. I know what I have to do...

    I'm not too worried about today's spike. I hit 154.5 multiple times this week and my trending weight is about a pound lower. My guess this is because of a heavier good day yesterday.

    I didn’t count calories on Mother’s Day or our anniversary, but I don’t think it was that bad. I’ve kept up running with my boys, but I have not been able to get myself going on strength training. I’m determined to get it going this week so I’ll be checking in more often to help myself be accountable with that.

    @weatherking2019 Your determination with these programs is impressive! As is your progress.

    This is such a weird time, but the fact that all of you are still here and still trying is inspiring. ❤️

    @weatherking2019 I’m sure you’ll succeed!

    When I was younger, any excess weight was evenly distributed. Even after babies. Once I hit 40, any extra pound goes straight to my middle. I hate it! Before the lockdown I was doing 100 sit-ups at a time. Even though that is absolutely something you don’t need a gym for, I quit as soon as the gym closed. I’m so annoyed at myself! You are motivating me to get back on the horse though.

    Hi everyone,

    Love this thread :smiley:

    I came back to MFP after years of 'winging it' and last week I tracked my calories for a day and it was a massive reality check - and finally, it revealed a secret to why I haven't been able to lose weight all this time :smiley:

    Feel free to add me - I need more friends and support.

    My biggest goal is that 25 inch waist, my belly is definitely something I want to work on.

    At my worst my inch was 30 inches, now I'm slowly getting to 28.

    Have a great weekend and week ahead guys :smiley:

    I’m allergic to alcohol y wines since birth (like a peanut allergy if it’s ingested or on an open cut yikes 😬 reaction severe. I have been a server with a TABC license wire gloves was careful not to spill got my bosses to carry nonalcoholic choices as well. They actually were popular the minute we got them in 21yr olds who wanted to fit in with their college buddies but not drink switched .Ladies dieting to even men wanting to kick the habit ordered it separately from a bucket of real alcohol from their friends. Theirs low cal nonalcoholic choices that are in the same container as everyone with the real stuff, same to similar tastes got to find what fits your taste buds,y no possibility of getting drunk. Might find your friends to family prefer it too. Just google to store app type in lots read info until you find one that has zero to little amount (depending on if kicking the habit for good or just want a lower alcohol count) their is lots of them within budget ranges.

    Theirs also Gatorade zero,crystal light teas/lemonades,y teas with different choice of sweeteners. Lots out there even unsweetened Apple juices to unsweetened almond milk. If anyone knows any good drinks that are low cal please share I’m always adding new ones to my cabinet

    Hoooow, something fishy is going on here. Yes, of course I've been eating more than I should have, but I also have had way more exercise as I had a week of staycation filled with lots of biking and hiking (105.000 steps last week !). So I know for a fact that I cannot have gained 1.5kg overnight and that it is probably hormonal bloating.
    Even so, it is way too high and I really need to get back on track. Last week I had some leeway as I was moving much more. But as from today, it's back to work so I really need to keep my food intake in check. Luckily, I've run out of icecream and bananas; that will help for sure.

    It is also week 10 of our confinement. Crazy when I think about it. It won't end soon, although there are some little changes we still cannot cross borders, hence still no diving in sight. Work is also still at home and hence no biking to work neither.

    Oh damn I feel you!! You've always been super good at the losing weight part, I'm sure you can do it! Now I'm back, so I need you to be back with me ;-)

    All of you girls are QUEENS, and you should all be proud for even wanting to be back on track, lose weight, do what it takes, be happy, be blossoming, rediscover yourself, be at peace, what ever your goal is. 💪🤩

    As for myself, I recently discovered/heard an horrible, HORRIBLE, news that concerns me directly, and that could have destroyed me completely. I decided to not let myself affected by this news, and take over my life ONCE AND FOR ALL.

    Backtracking a little... I had the nasty habit of drinking a couple of times per week since a few years (well since 2016 when my partner got deep into depression and burnout, and I worked my *kitten* off double shifts to pay the bills.)

    I finally decided to kick this habit out of my life, and start considering alcohol as a poison that CAN kill me, and that I should consume very occasionally. Like in "once a month" occasional.

    Here's what I started to do since almost a month:
    -6 lbs in 21 days, doing:
    - an alcohol ban 🚫 drinks, wine or beer
    - walking MIN. 1h15 per day, but usually 1h30 to 2h/day
    - Clean eating and cooking all meals, without starving myself by any means
    - focusing on good sources of protein at each meal
    - supplementing with Omega-3 oil, CLA, Vit C and B-12 (I'm mostly vegetarian)
    - HIIT workouts 3-4/week, around 15-20 min each
    - some more intense sport once/week, like biking and running

    What's next?
    - I aim to increase my fitness level, in order to be able to do longer HIIT workouts
    - Running 2/week
    - Bicycle 2/week
    - Continuing the alcohol ban, because it's so good for the mind and soul!

    Girl, I gotta say: I finally understand why curvy is not the same as fat! I mean, I accept you might be slightly too heavy but I think you do look supergood (also in the before picture). I love how your stomach looks! You have a serious schedule planned out, best of luck!

    May - wow! I've been snowed under the last 2 wks. Finished a major project this morning that's been sucking up every minute of my time and energy when I'm not in the office. I had an old friend (we've been social distancing and so has she) stay with us for a week - she's not in good health and required the rest of my energy to try to help her. Big lesson in WHY we need to keep our bodies strong. We've had my hubby's kids with us pretty much non-stop the whole quarantine - this isn't easy on a 42 that's never had children in the house. I'm not very domesticated so figuring out quick meals took some doing. Bought new batteries for my scale today and ready to get back to daily weigh ins. I'm focusing on doing a few things for me this month - can't pour from an empty cup. I will have my goals for the month lined out by Monday. This wknd is the first time we've had alone in since this mess started March 15th - I'm not going to worry too much about it and simply enjoy the quiet time with my husband. Steaks on the grill & cocktails is on the menu tonight.

    5/6 - 145.2 - Put new batteries in the scale this morning and weighed for the first time in a WHILE! Nothing like weighing in after celebrating Cinco de Mayo all day yesterday....but gotta start somewhere! Rode for a few hours and did well on calories but not nutritionally.
    5/7 - 143.0 - took the evening off for an 'at-home' date night.
    5/8 - 144.5 - chocolate cake & wine last night and it's showing this morning.... weekend is almost here and I'll get in 23432342343 steps and sunshine.
    5/12 - 144.6 - Too many carbs last night...My mother-in-law is going to be in charge of dinner for a couple of weeks and she's a phenomenal cook, but it's going to be lots of mexican food. I'm just going to concentrate on portion control. On the upside - no workout, but I hauled 50lbs grain sacks and moved hay bales. My hubby is laid up for a bit so I'm riding his horses as well as mine. Rode for 3-1/2 hours. I have no idea what that burns, I don't feel like the burn on here is right - I don't think I use that much actually riding so I'm not logging it.
    5/14 - I swear I feel so fluffy right now, eating way more carbs in the evening than I'm used to isn't the greatest - but I'm not in charge of meals and that's fabulous. Worked at the barn for 3 hours last night riding... I've got to get 4 worked this evening and I'm just so tired. At least tomorrow is Friday and my husband is getting around a little bit better daily. I'm betting by next weekend he'll be more back to normal...hopefully.
    5/18 - 143.0 Really busy weekend, but at least my husband is getting around a bit better so I'm hoping he'll be able to help with the horses after this week. I'm not doing great nutritionally but I'll be back in charge of food pretty soon so I'm just going to roll with it for now. I need to get back to at least daily pushups, I don't think I've lost too much yet - but my summer goal is to tone my arms up.
