    Checking in:

    11/1 (5'6") 139.9
    11/8. 137.7
    11/9. 139.5.

    Worked hard last week, logged every bite, added more sprinting and longer jogs than I needed to.

    The scale moved down but back up after a refeed. I am not going to run for a few days, the recovery makes me so hangry... but I still want my running skills and endurance back (after baby/injuries) and so I’m torn.

    Goals:
    1. Logging every day - yes
    2. Keep strength training on alternate days but add 10 minutes of aerobic warmup (got a step for this!) - yes (but still waiting for my step).
    3. Get out on the trails 5 days a week - short outings count! - yes, streak is 9/10 days.

    Checking in for the day :)

    This morning I was in the 55.something kg range for the first time in a long time! Hope it sticks around, especially since I had a friend for coffee and some treats this morning. I have my husband's year end party tomorrow night and looking to wear a dress I haven't worn in ages. I'm a bit scared to try it on... We'll see!

    Height: 166cm
    Age: 31
    Pre-pregnancy: 57 kg
    SW: 59 kg (just after my son was born)
    GW: 52 kg

    10 Nov: 56.3 kg
    11 Nov: 56 kg
    12 Nov: 55.8 kg

    And the dress fit! :smiley: glad about it, but I might not actually wear it. I'm eyeing a pencil skirt if I can find a pretty top. Anyway, managed to stay within the 55.sometings even after the morning snacks and evening pasta from yesterday. Hopefully I don't throw it all out the window over the weekend.

    My goals for this month:

    1. Get to 72.5 kg
    2. Get 70k steps a week even if the days are short and wet
    3. Stay active despite lockdown and frozen shoulder

    02/11: 73.8
    03/11: 73.8
    ---
    09/11: 74.0 Which I know is pretty high, I saw some lower numbers the last days. I feel I have to work harder than usual to drop the weight, I guess it might be hormonal and that a pre-menopausal change is happening.
    10/11: 74.4 - Yesterday was a crazy working day and hubbie ended up preparing spaghetti bolognese late at night while I was still working. I gobbled down a double portion because I was starving, frustrated and tired. Of course, this shows today.
    11/11: 74.4
    12/11: 74.8
    13/11: 74.8 - I've hit a plateau and it is frustrating. I'm eating well within my limits, I've amped up the exercise and then ... this. Ow well, nothing to do but stay patient. It will move eventually.

    Hi all!

    47 for another 10 days :D
    5'2"

    CW 114
    GW 112 for this month
    CBF 21%
    GBF 19% ultimate goal

    So today I am going to the Red cross to donate blood. (red cells)!
    I've used to donate but after a rejection when I weighed less than 110, I hadn't.
    But since I am over the limit, and being the universal donor (rh negative O), I figured, WHY NOT!
    Going to OTF as usual in the morning then shower up, hydrate and rest before heading out.

    Have a good weekend!!!

    I am new to this discussion thread but have been a myfitnesspal member for quite a while and I know that when I use it, I lose weight. However, in the spring I began to gain weight, especially when the gym closed. I am hoping to get back on track now that I am tracking and exercising again.

    I currently weigh 140lbs and would like to get down to 138 by 11/30. I had wanted to get down to 132lbs by 12/31 but I think I won’t quite make it, but that is ok. I need to increase my activity, even though I hate cold weather.

    15/11: 74.4
    16/11: 74.1 - it is sooooo slow and I am wondering if it is hormonal or maybe my pain meds are interfering with my weight loss. I know my body full well by now and I know exactly what I need to eat and how much exercise I need to do. But this is caterpillar slow ... but at least it is downwards !

    😊 🙏🏼 thx

    So slow weight loss is def frustrating.
    And when you’re not that overweight, it’s a given.
    Looking at your daily food log, maybe you’re not eating enough?? 🤔
    Have you tried playing around with macros? I’m not familiar with the foods listed but maybe upping protein or fats and lower carbs? When I feel stuck, I change it up.

    Keto to drop fat or load up with protein to beef up muscles etc.
    Just my thoughts. Don’t give up and keep going!! And remember to enjoy life too💗
    We’re all so hard on ourselves and forget to be kind to ourselves sometimes. We gotta treat us like we treat others😘😘😘

    Hi everyone, I'm brand new here and would love some accountability. My goal is to lose 10 pounds over 20 weeks and to get back into a good exercise habit. I walk the dog for an hour a day but want to introduce weight training and maybe even a little running into my routine.
    -lose 10 pounds by April 5, 2021
    -get to under 30% body fat
    -cardio 7 days a week, weight training 3x a week (for about 30 minutes)

    Thanks for your kind words, I'm already trying to amp up the protein and fat, but I find that difficult.

    Hi! I am new to MyFitnessPal. I would like to lose a few pounds but more importantly I want to get more toned.
    This month, I want to walk 50,000 steps per week and improve my calorie intake to 1200-1300 calories per day. I also plan on adding dumbbell exercises to my workout regime to 3 times per week. Brenda

    I'm late - but going to jump back on here to hold myself accountable to get back in the habit of daily weigh ins and being mindful. Winter is so freakin hard on me. I rely on being outdoors for exercise and it's much more difficult when its' cold.

    2 goals -
    Other than the 19th and Turkey day - I'm bailing off the sugar wagon.
    Log my food intake daily

    11/16 - 150.4
    11/17 - 149.8
