Return to normality? July weigh in and accountability thread

I’m baaaaack! Some of you may remember me, most of you won’t looking at the June thread (unless there are a number of name changes). I dropped out early this year just because all the logging etc became a bit much for me. So, I am currently at my Jan the 1st weight. I got there pre-lockdown, managed to keep it fairly steady throughout.
The start of lockdown (I’m in the UK so that was the 23rd of March I think) saw me active: Daily walks, C25K, online PT every other week. It’s helped that the weather (here, at least) has been incredibly kind for pretty much all of lockdown. But then the weather turned about 2-3 weeks ago which basically saw me stop moving. Although I am lucky to have a steady and safe job and able to WFH all of lockdown, I think I am just so very fed up with it all. I want to be able to go places again without having to plan so carefully. I want to socialise again. I’m quite happy by myself, but this is pushing it, even for me.
Monday this week saw my first F2F training session on the local field with my PT which has given me a real boost. To see a real person in the flesh again was great! And if all goes well I can go back to the office, be it part time to allow for a phased return so WFH some days, from the 13th of July. I cannot wait!
I started logging again on Monday. Like I say, I kept things pretty even during lockdown but certainly in the latter weeks have my food choices not been the best, necessarily. So here’s to improving that. I have plenty of lettuce in the garden, beetroot, carrots, broccoli, chard… this has got to be doable!
Height: 5'10"
HW: 183lbs (Fri 24th March 2017)
SW Jul 2020: 172lbs (1st Jan weigh in)
Ultimate goal: Not sure. Starting with 160lbs
Jul goal: Below 170lbs
1st Jul: 172lbs

Goal #4: Burst mini workouts as long as I work from home (word is going back 7/13
)

I'm working out more and my eating habits hasn't changed much (except for extra drinks on weekends) so either I'm bloated or inflammation? Either way, I decided to do a 5 Day Keto Soup Diet Plan after this weekend. Hope it kick starts the burn!
Good luck to all!!1 -
Agree with WK...@rianneonamission welcome back!!!
I have been in maintenance since late 2017 so my goals are a little different than most. But for July I have decided there are 2 things I would like to do.
#1 GET OFF THE ROLLERCOASTER
what this means is that I need to quit always worrying about did I gain a pound or two and lately I have found that I am tending instead of eating at a nice steady pace I am either binging or restricting more and more. It's a no win zero sum game so my plan is to just eat to my TDEE and log consistantly
#2 800 active minutes per day (Apple watch) goal.
This should NOT be difficult and I hope for it to energize me. My avg since I got my watch in late Dec last year is 817 per day and my average in June was 791 but May was 866 so I have felt like my activity trend is going the wrong direction.
So just 2 goals for the month. Piece of cake right?
Good Luck to us all whatever we have chosen and may be all stay well and healthy of course.
Summer aka bON (I think the longer I am WFH 16 weeks now and counting the more I resemble my cat)

So, apparently I've learned to maintain fairly well. Had to do pics with one of my horses and I'm not thrilled, time to tighten things back up.
Right now, I've been struggling to find the motivation to log consistently. I'm grateful for this group keeping me accountable because my giveadarn is not really working. I even quit weighing in every morning - which for me, makes a difference.
Goals - keeping it super simple right now
1. Be consistent - weigh in and food
2. Get to the 130s - this is past the point of ridiculous

@cayenne_007 , I have to say I've never seen a horse sit! EVER! Great pic-Luv it!!2

@cayenne_007 How the shmurk did you manage that?!? I spent a lot of time with horses back in the day but never ever did I get see a horse sit down. Dog or cat on horse, yes, someone upside down on horse, yes. But not a horse on it's butt. I admire the level of trust that you developed there in them.

@rianneonamission Welcome back Nice to see you around again. You'll notice that some of us recently also had some challenges with consistency but we're hanging in there, consistently picking back up the pieces and findingg a rhythm again. You're not alone in this 1

Hey all,
so here goes again. New month, new (old) goals. June had me on a good start and then came a little dip where it took me 2 weeks to catch up again. It does help me to stay on track if I'm more engaged and active here. It's like a nice gentle reminder to not stray too far off the good path. So let's see to keep this up this month.
What else is waiting?
Sports schools are allowed to open again, so pole classes will start again! I have been training more or less regularly but with someone there to push and to correct the form, it'll just be SO much more efficient! Looking forward to it. As for running, those trainings re-started some time ago already, but my partner and I also started going for a second run per week again. More burn! And for the rest, there's consistently walking for at least 60-90 minutes per day if not more. Unless it's raining cats and dogs but those days seem to be mostly gone for a while.
The only issue I see coming this month is the in-laws as well as my parents announced that they wanted to come for a visit. This will be almost a full week with parents around. First the in-laws, then mine. Looking forward to some degree (because it's been Xmas when we last met), on the other hand, eating, drinking, days off, and finding things to do with the health measures in place... It'll be challenging. Not impossible but a bit of a challenge. Curious though.
169 cm / 5’5”, 37 y
HW: 76.1 kg (26/Aug/19)
Overall GW: 57.5 kg

A little progress each day (will add up in the end).
Goal #1: Continue 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.
GW Jul: 72.0 kg (Let's try this one again.

July 2 - 146.0 - I made stir fry chicken last night and I think it's maybe all the sodium in the soy? Weird, highest weight I've had in ages and I didn't eat badly yesterday. Lots of water today and shaking it off.
I've spent an insane amount of time with this particular horse, after I taught him to lay down on command - we've been working on easing up into 'sit'. He's got the personality of an oversized dog, he loves his people and wants to please. Lots of time petting him and letting him know I think he's a rockstar They have to have total confidence in you to start teaching them things like this, it can't be forced. 3 -
Cay, I love that picture! You look gorgeous (I don't care if you feel fluffy!) and all the colors are magnificent. I never taught my horse to sit but I bet if I tried I could!!

Hi all - I’m Rebecca, I’m new here this month and happy/excited for some accountability. I’ve really enjoyed the posts here so far. I live in San Diego, where we've been pretty much locked down since mid-March. I’ve always been work-from-home but also traveled alot, so I’m going stir crazy, along with everyone else! And having my husband at home all the time has been fun but I’m also just craving a change of scenery, some alone time, people, the gym, traveling, walking around target… just being out.
I’m a vegetarian and enjoy cooking, especially vegan recipes. My weight set point is about 130 - 134 - but I really like to be 120 or in the high teens, its been where I feel my best and where I land when I’m exercising regularly and watching what I eat and not drinking beer on the reg.
I love being outside and working out but I’ve been managing a back injury/sciatica since December 2019, which, together with being home more, taking care of ill parents, and sailing into my 50’s has really knocked me off balance. I’ve lost some of my bounce - and trying to get it back. So July is reset month!
July 2020 Goals
1. Do 2-3 rounds of PT exercises every day*
2. Hit my daily 10k steps goal
3. Do 2-3 additional easy workouts each week
4. Eliminate alcohol**
*I’m not sure when I’ll be able to go back to the gym but there is plenty I can do at home. Anyone else hate working out at home? I’m trying to go easy on myself but I may be going a little too easy.
**Alcohol makes me feel terrible, just a drink or two interrupts my sleep, makes me feel tired and anxious for the whole next day. With the shutdown, a drink or two has been something to look forward to, but I know it's not helping me feel my best or helping me get my bounce back. Maybe not forever but probably should be forever, as I’ve found myself here many times.

Hello Ladies!
I'm continuing into July after commencing on June once I'd realized my very strict quarantine since March had made me gain close to 3 kgs (6 lbs)..so now we're here!
28, 5'7 / 175cm
June starting weight: 139.33/63.2
CW: 136.47/61.9
GW: 133.4/60.5
1. Workout 3-4 times per week/move everyday
2. Stretch 4 times per week.
3. Keep alcohol to weekends only, and in moderation.
4. Stay hydrated
June 2: 136.92/62.1
June 3: 139.33/63.2
I have several events this weekend so my goal is to try and portion out everything on my plate BEFORE eating, which I never do and leads to miscalculations. Also being moderate with the wine! Today's workout was smashed this morning and I want to do another one tomorrow morning before people start arriving for our bbq.3 -

#1 GET OFF THE ROLLERCOASTER

It's a no win zero sum game so my plan is to just eat to my TDEE and log consistantly
Jul 1 done. Lesson of the day. Did not even end up eating all of the dinner items and didn't feel stressed over it
Jul 2 done. Lesson of the day. OK to have a good snack mid day, Still nicely at TDEE
Jul 3
#2 800 active minutes per day (Apple watch) goal.
This should NOT be difficult and I hope for it to energize me. My avg since I got my watch in late Dec last year is 817 per day and my average in June was 791 but May was 866 so I have felt like my activity trend is going the wrong direction.
Jul 1 hit 1019 with a 10K run included
Jul 2 hit 929 with a 5 mile run
Jul 3 starting well with a 7 mile run (I love the stronger feeling of not being in a deficit/binge type mode) now to just keep it up.2 -

New to the group. Looking for MFP friends to keep accountable with. To cheer on. And to be cheered on. Have tried several groups but they are all too demanding with what they want you to do to participate. I need a more laid back but active bunch. Lol.
Here are my basics.

CW 142.8 (7/1)
GW 130 and below
I am currently doing a 90 day challenge with my sister. Started on 7/1. The daily goal is to wake an hour early and dedicating it to me, drink at least 8 cups of water, be active for at least 30 minutes, journal, and for the first 30 days I’m giving up junk food.
I have tried many things, my last success was with Keto. Lived the life style for about 2 years but I did not do maintenance well. I lost 44lbs but gained half of it back. I have tried to go back to it but just can’t get my heart into it. Also, I just don’t want to be so restricted in my food choices.
Food wise, I am trying to eat healthier and get a handle on my portions. The key is not to be to crazy with it because when I am then I quickly go into *kitten* it mode and binge on all the bad things then I give up.4 -
Welcome @la_nanita I think we are all quietly supporting each other here but mostly it is a place to keep ourselves accountable. It helps me to reemphasize daily what my plan is.

Goals for July: [7/1-5]

- Devote time in stretch/yoga sessions ✅
🔆New end-of-the-month challenge 🔆 do 3 standard pull-ups! (tried it with resistance band. Form is much better 👀)
Summer is here for a while. So are bugs... I found one alive (not sure what it is) swimming in my protein powder the other day while making mocha, and now I’m not sure if I should keep drinking the other flavor from the same brand 😵 I know it probably went in there after I opened the bag (poorly designed re-sealable bag), and I like how this chocolate brownie flavor tastes... but still. Will need some time to let that weird feeling go away first and I’m going back to Greek yogurt for now 😓1 -
ME:
30y * 5'9" * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)
JULY GOALS- Keep up the good workout routine with focus on glutes
- Stick to IF and do some longer fasts again (even though at home it's super difficult)
- Push through instead of constantly going up-down with good and bad days
- Start logging again
WEIGHT - 7 day averages
06 July: 70kg
I gained 2 kg last month! I haven't seen 70 in over a year and I'm pretty devastated by it. How did I let this happen...? I got to 66, I held that weight for months,...
Last month my grandmother had a bad fall and I moved in for a while to take care of her. I also started a new project at work, which together led to the deadly combination of: being in a house with lots of candy + pressure & anxiety = stress eating
(((
I've also completely stopped logging anything! I blame that on my new roomie, who constantly cooks delicious stuff and serves it up! With someone else doing the foodprep, it's hard to keep track.
Pff, I do hope I drop some weight fast.
Only positives is that I've been working my butt off on glutes (pun intended) and it shows, and kept up running.
And sorry for missing out on making the new July thread ladies, @weatherking2019, @jacau 😆 I'll start thinking for August 4 -

Such fun! Decent start today, got up at 5:30 and worked one horse before work. Cool & crisp - sunrise is one of my favorite times to be outdoors. Using this Monday as a fresh start!
Thanks @rianneonamission it's insanely curly, but easy to fix!

Hey all,
one week in. So far, so good. Logged daily, moved daily, posted at least once a week Weight... well, work in progress.
In any case, I got my man on board now as well. He realized yesterday that he gained more than me over the past period and is now so upset that it'll be easier to clean up the weekly shopping list and go running more often! No more lonely trying to find the motivation. Two glasses half full with motivation should make for a full one, no? Curious how this is gonna work out, hahaha. Lighter dinners, less snacking and even less alcohol should get the weight starting to shift finally. And if one is finding it difficult to stick with the good choices, then the other can help out. Should work. At least as long as our families are not around, although I'm looking more and more forward to their series of visits. It's just been too long that we didn't see any of them in person.

06 July: 70kg
I gained 2 kg last month! I haven't seen 70 in over a year and I'm pretty devastated by it. How did I let this happen...? I got to 66, I held that weight for months,...
Last month my grandmother had a bad fall and I moved in for a while to take care of her. I also started a new project at work, which together led to the deadly combination of: being in a house with lots of candy + pressure & anxiety = stress eating(((
I've also completely stopped logging anything! I blame that on my new roomie, who constantly cooks delicious stuff and serves it up! With someone else doing the foodprep, it's hard to keep track.
Pff, I do hope I drop some weight fast.
Only positives is that I've been working my butt off on glutes (pun intended) and it shows, and kept up running.
And sorry for missing out on making the new July thread ladies, @weatherking2019, @jacau 😆 I'll start thinking for August
Hello back
Sounds like you had your hands full with other things. I hope your grandma is doing better by now. Don't worry about the July thread. It gave @rianneonamission a nice way to return again as well
Here's to keeping and sticking to the good parts. The rest's gonna fall back in place soon!3 -
Well ladies, I'm late to join but I must say that I'm relieved to see that I'm not the only one struggling during these crazy times. I find it somehow interesting how these threads often all go in one direction; very often we will either all be doing great, or all be struggling with our goals. Maybe we get influenced more than we realize
So anyways, I think I might steel your number one goal @SummerSkier : GET OFF THE ROLLERCOASTER, as this is exactly what I must do also.
@l4a_p : I'm so glad you are back, and reading that you have a roommate too! Is that the French guy?
@ooofitness : getting close to 50 made me also tolerate much less alcohol. Listen to your body girl, it's telling you something. What works for me: no alcohol the night before work.
@cayenne_007 : I love your horse pictures and I think you look great, no fluffiness to be seen anywhere !
@jacau : we are swimming in the same pond
@weatherking2019 : you keep on being an inspiration to us all.
@la_nanita: welcome to this crazy group, nothing mandatory here, just adapt your goals to what YOU want.
I will just add that I'm so glad you are all here this month, together we can certainly do this !
My goals this month:
1. Get off the rollercoaster - consistency in eating and moving around. Not going from restricting to much one day to overeating the next, being a Netflix binger on Saturday and walking 25K on Sunday.
2. Current weight: 73.0 - goal weight by the end of the month: 71.0
3. Get my yearly steps back to goal, which means around 80K to 100K a week
07/07: 73.03
