Feb. 3rd was successful all day. I prelogged my food, checked into the boards and did meditation things, as well as a few audios from youtube -- helped get my mind right.
STRENGTH workout this morning. I need to make sure I don't snack and pick at things today.
Maybe clean house instead.

01/02: 73.5 - I'll expect a very slow loss this month. February is usually very wet and cold and I don't expect to be able to do a lot of cycling. I still have the shoulder injury and in combination with the lock-down, that means a pretty sedentary lifestyle at the moment.
02/02: 73.8
05/02: 74.1 - Yesterday we had a 24 hour break from winter with spring in the air. High temps and a little sunshine even. So I took my bike and went for a long ride. Hubby and I also had a walk to check on the fields behind our house, as we expected floodings. And indeed, even the pathway was completely flooded. As from today, we expect more rain and even snow. We hope that the water doesn't rise much higher...

Just felt like this week I was fighting my nutrition all week! Went super over calories 2x (Monday and Thursday).....as in eating a LOT of peanut butter.
SO I made a realistic food plan to implement for this week ahead. I am planning on preparing it and 'bagging it up' and freezing it so that I have everything from Breakfast to Snack to Dinner all "Grab and Go". I was listening to an IFFB pro Greg Dolcett and he was mentioning how protein shakes made at home are SO filling. He used 1cup frozen strawberries and 1 scoop protein powder and a little almond milk. It was as thick as Ice Cream. I have this implemented in my meal plan.
Cardio this morning. Kickboxing. I did that yesterday too and...I LOVED every second of it. I am totally going to add this as my go-to thing when I want to "MOOOOVE".
Goal for the next week is to have a Saturday weight of 105.82/6 - 106.8 <- really fought for that number this week.

Total GW - 125 - 130
I'm slow to post in the February thread, but I've been logging and reading every day. I'm surprised I lost any weight this week with the bad food I've eaten. Fries, poutine, chips - why does my husband even bring them home!?!? I guess it shows moderation is key and if your metabolism is revving and you stick to your fitness, a body can even handle junk like that!6 -

Cw 135 ish
Feb goal weight....not sure!!! Idk if I want to drop 5lbs or if I want to maintain but I’ll say 130. As long as I tone up, I’ll be okay with that too!
I’ll be weighing on Saturdays again:
2.06: 135.4, started some weight training again, I feel lean so I am guessing it’s water weight plus I also see some definition happening in my inner quads which is definite goals so gonna keep going with the current work out routine.

Awesome job ladies. Everyone seems to be so in tune with what’s going in their bodies and giving themselves grace as we are only human but still keeping ourselves accountable. Sounds good! It’s going to be another excellent month! Much love to all. Have a great weekend ❤️ Stay warm and well6

@SherryRueter I can definitely vouch for the “fillingness” of the protein shakes. I try to have them daily. My recipe is 8oz almond milk, scoop of vanilla plant protein powder, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, cup of spinach, and ice in a blender. Then I top with cinnamon.
That’s my base - but depending on what I feel like, I’ll add chia seeds for fiber, hemp seeds for protein, or PB 2 for peanut butter flavor when I want to jazz it up. I’m full for hours after! And it’s delicious!3 -

05/02 - 117 - worked a night shift last night, I usually feel very bloated after a night so happy with the loss !!
06/02 - 120 - bit disheartening but I’m putting it down to water weight as I’ve stuck to my calories all week! Learned recently that I have gluten and dairy sensitivities so today was day 1 of cutting them out for a month to see how I feel! I’m excited for this as whilst I have been looking for meal ideas, it looks like I’ll be eating more nutritional whole foods, also means I have to start thinking about ingredients in foods. Also began intermittent fasting today, hoping this makes it easier for me to stay within my calorie goals.3 -

Goal weight 115
Feb GW 122
I had gained weight and was up to 134 lbs and then because of the pandemic, without even trying lost 10 lbs because of no social life, no eating out, and no alcohol because I live alone and don’t drink alone. I occasionally drink on Zoom social calls and social VR but maybe only one glass of wine which is a lot less than what I usually have socially. I often used to go to several events a night, starting at 6pm and going till 2am with open bars or sponsored alcohol and catered food so a lot can be consumed during that time!
I’m a very healthy eater though, mostly organic, no junk food, no processed food with chemicals, no red meat, mostly vegetarian but occasionally chicken. I realize now that I really don’t eat much at all naturally and only gain weight when I’m very socially active. I just started keeping track of calories again a few days ago because I think I wasn’t eating enough and now I’m wondering if I’ve always eaten this little at home and it’s all the alcohol and less healthy food at events, parties, and on dates that made me gain weight. Before I started counting, I was probably often only eating about 800-900 calories a day, sometimes less. I have to keep adding calories at the end of the night to get to 1,000 so MFP won’t chastise me lol. But I’ve been very sedentary since Covid. I would have liked to walk around my once nice & safe neighborhood but since Covid there’s been a lot of crime and I have the Citizens app and am shocked about how much crime involving guns, knives, machetes and even a sword is moving into my area! So I’ve been afraid to even walk except a few times when I went on hikes with friends or went for walks on the beach with a friend,
Anyway, my goal is to work out more and get more toned and get to around 115-118 and hopefully not gain too much back when things open up and I’m social again. My normal weight tends to stabilize between 120-125 but I’ve gone up as high as 136 (when I was dating a guy and we were decadent often eating ice cream with Kahlua & Bailys & Malibu) and as low as 109 (when another guy I was dating told me his ex-girlfriend was “skinny as a rail” so I though I had to be too.) I probably shouldn’t let guys I date influence me lol.
I have a few workout apps in VR that I started doing which at least make workouts fun because I really hate working out. I know I’ve lost muscle tone and need to get it back! So my goal is to lose a few more pounds while toning everything up. I made my goal weight extra low in preparation for when social life opens up again so I have a little cushion and don’t gain too much back.3 -

February goal: 140
Enjoyed reading everyone's post! I joined to keep myself accountable and be part of a community of supportive women. My goals are to get more toned, leaner, and live a more positive health/holistic focused life. I strength train 2 days a week and do a mix of cardio, hiit, and walking during the week as well. Looking forward to watching everyone succeed on their journey to good health.5 -

Trying to keep it slow and steady rather than crashing out after going too hard, which tends to be my style! I want to leave the house every day, ideally for a 30 minute walk but even for the headspace for 10 minutes to break up the working from home boredom. I'm so ready for the gyms to re-open but need to hold my nerve and not sabotage my progress before then.4 -
ME:
31y * 5'9" * BMI:22,6 * Weight goal: 63kg (138,89lbs)
Jan loss: - 2,3kg
FEB GOALS- Minimal intake of sugar (<30grams/day)
- Keep up 16h fasting and 1x36h every week
- Have 2-3 adjacent keto days every week
- No alcohol this month ("Tour Mineral") in Belgium
- Get permanently below 70kg
WEIGHT
2 Feb: 70.3kg
8 Feb: 69.1kg //Aha the "woosh" finally happened. Been hovering at the lower end of 69 for a few days now so thinking it may stick. I love that my abs are far more defined already. Working on them is so much more satisfying when they are not covered in a layer of fat.
My sister spend a week here, in an attempt to kickstart a change in her eating pattern too (she gained 8kg over the past few months). It was very fun and the added social control really helped.

08/02: 73.1 - Saturday was the last day that I could go biking and I did my longest bike ever: 70km (43,5miles), that gave me some leeway to eat chocolate this weekend. In the evening it started to snow and now the whole country is covered in a white blanket. So no more biking for at least 10 days. On the positive: I've stopped taking my pain meds for my shoulder on Friday evening, and so far so good. Fingers crossed I can keep it this way !4 -

Thanks CeeBee! In the past I have added some of the Sugar Free coffee syrups....like the cinnamon or the Peanut butter.... YUM. I made a couple shakes over the weekend using 6oz almond milk, 100g Frozen strawberries, 6 ice cubes and protein powder and...its thicker than a DQ shake. JUST wish I had a fire place to enjoy it by because I get SOOO cold! hmm.... maybe I need to make it and then hit the hot tub! LOL.

I am SO Super happy about this number! OMG....its been SO long since I've seen it. Feeling super happy about my meal plan for this week....even excited to just have to execute it and not worry about:
"What am I going to eat?"
"When am I going to eat next"
"How does this impact my calories?"
"What Should I eat?"
"What could I eat?"
I don't have to think of ANY of that because I have all of the food measured, logged and bagged up into meals. I just have to grab...eat... Seriously thinking this will quiet those voices in my head. I have quite a crew up there!
