Hey everyone!
I'm Casey. I'm 43 years old and 5'5" and weight 135. This is fine with me, but I still can shape and tone up and would love to build a little muscle an lose some fat.
Right now I'm on an 8-week program with Fitness Blender, so I'm working out daily. Just finished 9 weeks with Noom to get through a stubborn plateau and lose 10lbs.
June goals:
complete first half of 8-week FB program
eat clean
Alcohol only 2 days per week

6/2 - 143.6 - how is it June? My life has been a madhouse, but hubby is recovered and we're off to WY tomorrow for a few days with 4 horses (and kids) for a sale this wknd. Sunday I'm going to take a great big sigh and be ready for some normalcy. The good news is I've maintained, the bad news - I've been chowing down nightly on enchiladas & dos equis.
6/10 - 142.6 - I took a week off, we were traveling quite a bit. I was pleasantly surprised with the scale this morning. I did pack lots of oranges, apples, etc instead of having junk food in the car. I think it helped.4 -

June SW: 130.2
June GW: 126
Goals:
1. Hit my daily protein and fiber goals - Mostly successful!
2. Strength train thrice a week - I've been iffy on this one, need to get on a better schedule
3. Yoga/stretching on off days - Same as 2
4. Don't over calorie restrict/stay over 1200 kcals a day - Mostly successful here as well; if I over restrict, I make up for it the next day, so I'm averaging out to my goal calories
As a fellow spreadsheeter, taking a page from @jacau - hope she doesn't mind.
I actually cut out a lot of carbs the last few days of May, which was why my weight on the first of June was lower. It's not a great SW indicator, but it gives me a better goal, so I'm sticking with it.
Also not sure what happened on the fourth, but it's really messing up my numbers >.<
I'll be excited when I'm consistently recording 128 though!2 -
@xelsoo : I also have to drive around 150 km or 100 miles single trip to go diving, but I’m so addicted that I do that twice a week in average.3
-
@jacau : dinner was very enjoyable. Very strange that the first thing we did was cleaning our hands and the waiters were with facemasks which is really awkward.
But the food and drinks were excellent and there was a general sense of relief !3 -

June 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 June goal is exactly the same as the April and May goal, I'll keep on reporting here on a daily basis until I get to 70 again - sorry for the spamming ladies.
3. Hopefully, we will get back to diving again somewhere this month. I already said this last month, so fingers crossed. The good news is that today I'm not only at the office, but I used my bike to come here !

Well, that dinner date had to have some consequences, I’ll take it in my stride. Did some hard biking yesterday and I’ll bike again today.

Steady wins the race.
Goal #1: Start losing what I regained since February.
Goal #2: Log and post more regularly. Logging at least 5 out of 7 days, posting at least weekly.
Goal #3: Stay active.
extra goal this week: Keep breathing. Stay calm. Embrace the storm.
GW Jun: 72.0 kg
PMS bloating big time this month it seems
No enjoyable sight on the scales this morning. But food and activities were fine. Considering how my legs and hands are feeling, I assume that it's not "real" weight gain. We'll see.
Anyway, tomorrow I have a nice long weekend coming up, with cycling, running, gardening, and simply enjoying a bit of off-time. That should help with getting more comfortable in my skin again. And if not then, then at least in a few days when TOM returns. So for now, unlikely that I'll post again before Tuesday - I'm not planning on touching any computer in that time

No worries, lady
It's much easier to use a screenshot I find than trying to get the previous entries copy/pasted without messing up. At least that's me. My talents (read: patience) for using computers are limited. It actually makes me happy to see that I'm not the only one taking the route of screenshot-ing.
Whatever helps with staying connected with the group here, just go for it. It helps with hanging in there when motivation decides to go out the window for some me-time or holidays or what not and you are left without it for a while.1 -

Awesome news! In NL I haven't seen the waiters wearing facemasks yet. They seem to rely more on the questioning when you enter, hand-sanitizing, and gloves for themselves. Let's see. To be experienced at some point. We were talking about this new pancake place. At least it's not in the middle of town, and thus a bit more quiet, and we can just walk there.
But I'm glad that you had a good time there and got to enjoy a first sense of almost-normalcy!2 -

I’ve never used an accountability group before but I’m willing to try anything at this point!
I work out 5-6x a week but I know my diet isn’t as pristine as it should be 😬
I’ve been stuck at 129 for weeks and I’m so tired of seeing that number.5 -

Seems that I'm finally leveling down after last weekend -just in time for this weekend! With the quarantine relaxing, we're having a lot of people over every weekend for constant food and drinks and this weekend will be no different.
Plan for the next 3 days: Be very careful with alcohol as it makes me careless about food, serve everything I'm going to eat on my plate (bbq's are tricky) and MOVE to help burn it off!3 -

I’ve been here before but let myself get lazy and stopped logging/tracking my weight. Now I find myself up 6 lbs. and am motivated to find some accountability to FINALLY get to my target weight and stay there.
My main goal for the rest of the month is to log my food every day and stay within my calorie goals.

Broke #3 yesterday, by the time I came down for dinner the bf had opened a bottle of red wine. I couldn't complain as he'd grilled a fine cut of meat and French wine was required, but I kept it to one glass so it was okay.
First social dinner of the weekend is tonight so I'm preparing a clean lunch to compensate 3 -
Daily Log:
6/1 134.5
6/4 131.6 I have been barely eating okay, not logging anything, and I have been not working out. I am having a really hard time getting focused again. Going to try to start today!
6/5 131.6 Back on track, except for working out.
*6/8 I slipped back this weekend, but this morning I feel more motivated than I have in a week!
6/9 Ate well, didn’t do Chloe Ting, but played tennis for an hour in 90 degree heat – which should count as a workout with how much I sweat.
6/12 I have epically fallen off the wagon. I am going to get back on starting today!

I find it completely discouraging being a petite and not that heavy gal sometimes. I mean I can be "on the wagon" for weeks and weeks and slowly drop maybe a pound or two and in happy scale avg is slower. But then I have just one bad day or two and BOOM the scale pops right back up those pounds and maybe even more?!!! I mean WTF?!!!! And it's not like everyone says that it slides back off again in 2 days of being back on track. Well not for me. It takes weeks and weeks to recover again. And it's not like I ate 7000 extra cals or a lot of salt either.
*****WAH****** can I have a pity party please???

Hi there! I just found the forum & joined. I've gained weight steadily for the past few years due to stress: grieving, brutal boss, pneumonia, infections. Now that I'm healthy, and so over this pandemic, I've been focusing on me & eating healthy, working out, and getting my steps in, while throwing in some WFH.

So, Monday again. I'm back to an almost normal work routine and the social and physical activities are also gaining momentum. I've clocked more than 100.000 steps and 160km biking last week, and I will be adding some diving as from Thursday. If I can keep my cals in check, the only way is down (the scale of course). The only factor that might interfere with all the plans is the weather as we are facing some heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Fingers crossed ! xxx
As for the weight: I realise I probably stayed "on track" for a long time but meanwhile just losing muscle mass. Now that I'm superactive again, I'm probably gaining a bit back, hence the spike up.5 -

I’m back to working, so I have less time to workout and go on long walks.

I want 30-60 min everyday for myself 💪🏼

This is last friday weight: I didn’t log for 3 days, I had snacks in the evening while watching TV... I did not meet any of my goals 😳 Had been logging since February and avoiding evening snacks for weeks. I did 4 workouts but only went walking once.
I’m back to logging and walking and being motivated! 💪🏼 One bad week cannot define my journey!

Yesterday the week was off to a good start with a surfing session during lunch break, but I did have 2 glasses of wine in the evening, oops.4 -

6/2 - 143.6 - how is it June? My life has been a madhouse, but hubby is recovered and we're off to WY tomorrow for a few days with 4 horses (and kids) for a sale this wknd. Sunday I'm going to take a great big sigh and be ready for some normalcy. The good news is I've maintained, the bad news - I've been chowing down nightly on enchiladas & dos equis.
6/10 - 142.6 - I took a week off, we were traveling quite a bit. I was pleasantly surprised with the scale this morning. I did pack lots of oranges, apples, etc instead of having junk food in the car. I think it helped.
6/11-142.2- Ave 142.6 - Did well with food and exercise yesterday.
6/12 - 143.0/142.6 - epic failure on sweets yesterday..inhaled an entire bag of crispy brownie bites - the whole thing. Starting fresh today.
6/16 - 145.6/144.4 - I did pretty well over the wknd, kept things in bounds and worked outdoors all day Sat. Actually took Sunday to rest up a bit - church and then a lunch date with my hubby at a fabulous restaurant followed by riding out in the country for an hour. So nice to have a day to 'reset'. Yesterday - ugh - I let him and my stepdaughter talk me into meeting them for a big greasy hamburger & fries for lunch - after I'd stopped for a breakfast burrito and then my MIL cooked dinner for us or I would've at least skipped dinner.... I still feel like my hands are swollen today and it was an immediate 2lbs jump. Skipped breakfast this morning and have a protein bar for lunch.
I think many of us struggle with making choices to eat healthy when our SO eats whatever... Hubby and I had a long talk last night, his allergies have been out of control and he's decided he does feel better when there's no junk around - mind-blowing discovery - right? He wants to try to make an effort to eat better so I'm pretty excited about it.5 -
Hey ladies,
I've just discovered this group!
My June goal is to lose a minimum of 3lbs. I've lost 10.5lbs over the past 2 months and this week was my first gain in this time (+2.5lbs). Last week I lost 3lbs but I think I was pretty much starving for 3 days and dehydrated so I knew this week I'd be a bit heavier but I've definitely over-indulged.
03/06: -3lbs
10/06: +2.5lbs
17/06: - 1.5lbs
I'm:
25
5"5
CW: 142lbs
GW: 133lbs
I run twice a week, do two bootcamp/circuit sessions and two 'other' (either long walks or tennis) a week and I want to make the most of this lockdown/WFH time to make a big change before life opens back up and it's harder to have this much control over my life.
Hopefully this group helps keep me accountable!
Not got my gain from last week fully off yet but I'm pleased with this week, I was under my net calories every day bar 1 and I had enough of a deficit from the other 6 days to counter-balance that 1 day.
Do you guys eat back the calories you burn from exercise?2
