Hope you have got there! Having your waist less than half your height is a great thing to aim for.
Interesting - I’m 176cm tall so 88cm is literally half my height. I have also read that women have increased health risks above 80cm so that’s on my list but as a blanket statement I guess it might have some wiggle room for those of us who are on the taller side. I feel slightly better about my goal now that it’s half my height 😊
Yes, i am also taller (180 cm) so the 80cm waist ideal (as proclaimed by e.g. the UK's NHS) is pretty much fantasy land for me! Mine is 88 cm at present, and I am not expecting to shed mich there now (in normal bmi). You might find this interesting: https://www.xperthealth.org.uk/x-pert-blogs/keep-your-waist-to-less-than-half-your-height-why-the-waist-to-height-ratio-deserves-more-credit/. This seems to be a WHO recommendation also.2 -
Get under 180 by my birthday next month. 3.5 lb in 4.5 weeks. Seems very doable!

Would you mind sharing with me how you do this? I have this problem and all the ED joys along with it, there are no ED therapists/counselors where I live.
I started doing intuitive eating. There are a ton of books/articles on it, but the basic gist is no longer restricting certain foods, and listening to you body. If you're not stomach-rumbling hungry, don't eat. If you want a bowl of ice cream, have it. Once things aren't off-limits anymore, they're less appealing to binge. In addition, by listening to my body tell me its hungry instead of telling it (i.e., scheduling meals at certain times because it's "normal") I can put my mind at ease that I'm eating to nourish myself, that my body needs it, and that there's no guilt because I'm only taking care of a basic natural need.8 -
Clean eating all of November. No sweets, no coffee, no pork, no junk food, etc. Just veggies, beans, nuts, and clean meats such as turkey/chicken/fish/lean red meat. We are calling it #Moslimber.8

Not get bummed out that the gyms are becoming off limits again. Not to a 180 and completely skip strength training again. This is not the end of the world and it should not cause me anxiety. (which then causes bulimic episodes)
It is just another bump on the road and persistence is key.12 -

☆I signed up for a bunch of fitness classes on zoom, and my goal is to make the classes and do them as best I can.
Have a great goal accomplishing day.☆10 -
I am aiming for a 10 lbs loss to start with. I feel it would make a huge difference in how I feel.15

What is motivating me right now? I'm working on strength. I want to be fast enough to catch my next bf.
That & fitting into my usual size 5s by Easter.
Lastly, after Covid, getting back into lap swimming. I miss it a lot. But, I'll be patient.8 -
log all foods today, get under 228 (I've gained a few pounds in the last couple of weeks) again

Going to work hard on going to bed on time all this week. If I don't I tend to stay up and piece, and while I'm not eating that much over, it's a very bad thing to make a habit of, so I'm going to try to stop it. It's not directly a diet thing, but we have to look at habits like that that support disordered eating and deal with them too.10

For some reason I had a flashing vision of you catching the next BF and dragging him back to the cave. Go, you!5 -
Today I reached my weight dropping goal for the month of October.
My November mini goal:
Continue to workout consistently and add "lifestyle" workouts once a week as weather permits. (Raking leaves. Pulling weeds. Transplanting blueberry bushes. Etc)10 -
My current mini goal is to hit 340. I am at 342 right now. So close!11
-
Mini goal is to hit 240 by Thanksgiving. I'm getting a bike for home use so I don't have to go to the gym, and that will undoubtedly help.8

Simultaneously I want to get into the healthy BMI which is less than 5 kg away.
We are almost size twins! I am 176/177 cm tall and this morning my waist was 89.5 cm. It varies a lot from one day to another but it is the fist time in years that it was below 90. Hoping to reach 88 cm (half my height) within a couple of weeks and hopefully 85 within a couple of months. Then I'll buy a scale and depending on my BMI (and how I feel), I'll aim for 80cm or opt for maintenance.4 -
Each day has a mini goal. All going toward that ultimate weight and fitness goal. It could be a new personal best mile time, a heavier weight lift or reps, etc. Current 'mini focus' is learning new ways to use exercise bands while traveling. My business travel has shifted to road trips so resistance training on the road is a challenge. Bands have become a regular in my luggage.6

After a routine blood test at the start of August 20, I was found to be healthy but pre-diabetes and scoring 66 when a diabetes diagnosis is 67. This has kicked me into action and 3 months later I am about to book another blood test but will be going into it 29lb’s lighter.
I’m 6ft 2 and my height helped mask that I had ballooned to 19st by skipping meals, snacking, eating at the wrong times, eating junk food. My fitness pal has put some structure back and made me think about how I eat. Gone are the four bags of crisps a day and eating two meals from snack vending machines. I feel and look so much better.
It does concern me though that the NHS website says my target weight i13.5stone - I can’t imagine being that thin.7 -
For me, it is to get under 200 lbs. Another is to do 150 minutes of exercise a week. I am pre-diabetic, so I need to get in gear.7

Good for you! 29lbs is already more than 2 stone down and that's really impressive, and very nearly into overweight category on bmi for your height. You might want to set yourself some mini-goals along the way to 13 stone 7 lbs and normal bmi?

tried to encourage the wife to eat healthy (she's on bed rest due to foot surgery) and she told me: YOU DO YOU11

My current mini-goal is 184. It's 4.6 pounds away and would be 50 pounds down. Once I get there, I'll likely take a maintenance break until after the holidays.6

I’m going the rest of November keeping my calories right and not missing a workout (barring Thanksgiving, of course). If I can do that I’m going to have a special one-time treat from a local edible cookie dough place I wanted to try

I made tofu stir fry last night and I was amazed by how good it tasted. I looked in the freezer and it's all frozen fruit and veggies. My scale rewarded me this morning! I have taken off all the weight I put on since Covid19 retired me from the workforce, probably permanently, I'm a senior citizen. Only 34 more pounds to go, that really feels doable. Climate change heat waves seem to have finally gone away, so walking for miles in a safer outdoors area will be possible again. So, for the calorie-laden Thanksgiving week I've made plans to camp solo in the desert.
Inertia has loosened its grip!11 -
With two more pounds of loss, this will be my most successful weight loss at 27 pounds.
My previous record was 26 pounds lost on Slimfast, which was unsustainable so I gained it all back and then some.
I also did Whole 30, lost 11 pounds, but was unsustainable so I gained it all back and then some.
Did keto, lost 15 pounds, rinse and repeat.
Did Atkins, lost 10 pounds, rinse and repeat.
This time I'm skipping the fad diets and going with what is sustainable for me, just regular old calorie counting. This time I'm getting to 27 pounds and beyond - and taking off what years of yo-yo diets packed on. This time I'm getting healthy for life, not just a month or three!18 -

Finally, finally the number on the scale starts with a 95! (95.6 this morning). Next up is a number starting 92
I say finally cause it feels like an age but it’s only 8 weeks or so which is just over a lb a week or .7 of a kg

Break into the next decade. I’ve been 1-0.4 for 2 weeks .3

Actually two things...
1) Getting back into control of my weight, after being in the hospital this last May
2) Target weight of 210, so I can not weigh so much when piloting a small plane.8
