    Congratulations @MuttiNM - Just incredible how steady and consistent your progress has been. You are less than 6 pounds to your goal weight!! (And just 1 pound till you catch up to my current weight! - I'm kind of at the top of my maintenance weight today). So what do you think? Will you maintain at 160?

    @speyerj Thanks! Week to week, progress hasn't been consistent but looking more long term, it's been really good. I don't think I'll stop at 160, assuming I make it that far. :) I think I'm a bit shorter than you and would still be at an "overweight" BMI at 160. I just didn't know a number to try for because it's been so long since I was at a "normal" weight and even getting into the 200s seemed almost impossible. My doctor would be happy with 150. (She's actually happy now. I don't think she thought I would make it this far but then neither did I!) I still have a lot of fat in my "problem" areas: hips, thighs, and upper arms so I don't really know a final goal weight but hopefully I'll know it when I see it! :)

    @BeastlyMaple Can't help you with your sour candy addiction 😁, but the Silk chocolate soy milk is delicious. Not sure if you can have that either but wanted to mention it. Also, you're funny about weigh in day. That is always the case with me. Maybe it's nerves?

    Hello ladies.

    Just a little bit of vent/warning....

    I have denied a lot of friend requests lately and if you are one of the casualties, sorry not sorry.

    It may not be the best way to decide to accept or deny requests, but, if your profile pic is trying to slap me in the face with your booty or c***, then you will be denied and or removed from my friend's list.

    I just do not have the patience to move beyond the pic and know the real person and do not want to be slapped with those types of images when I open my app.

    I am going to take a hiatus from even accepting any new requests for the next little while.

    Ok. Thanks for listening.

    @_Joistick We have an HTC Vive, my husband has been playing a lot of Beat Saber lately. I'm not good at rhythm games so I'm sure he'll have a good time watching me flail around when I finally get a turn.

    @uyister I think those people with borderline-porn PFPs are spam bots, not real people. I've gotten a couple of them as well, and there are a few threads about it. Decline and block them without guilt.

    Weigh in day today.

    This last week I’ve completely changed my exercise routine. I’ve now incorporated a strength training workout 3 times a week, a one hour HITT workout 3 times a week, 20 minute run daily and a 20 minute light walk on Thursdays which is my rest day. So I’ve done this as my ankle is now recovered from the light injury I had caused it almost two weeks ago now.
    This week I’ve been watching what I eat and taking particular note of my water intake. I downloaded an app to keep me on track with drinking water as I’m quite hopeless in that department.
    With all of this I’ve managed to gain weight lol. Not a lot and to be honest I was expecting it with the big change in my exercise routine as I’ve upped it quite a lot. So I’m not disappointed, just hoping to see a decrease in my weight in the weeks to come. I’m trusting the process. If in a few weeks I continue to go up in weight I will need to reevaluate.

    Onto stats:

    Age 33
    Height 167cm (5’5”)
    SW 107.5kg (236.9lbs)
    CW 101.4kg (223.5lbs)
    GW for Feb 99.9kg (220.2lbs)
    UGW 75kg (165lbs)
    Loss for the week +.4kg (+0.8lbs)

    Goals for the week:
    - continue with my new exercise routine
    - Keep tracking my water intake

    @mumof6sv that 0.8lb is almost assuredly water, especially as you've suddenly ramped up your exercise in the last few days. You'll see a whoosh soon enough.

    @sarah12277 Welcome! Looks like you're well on track to hit that February goal, you're doing great!

    I wasn't good at it either but there are coaching settings. I've had this thing for a year and only just discovered that thanks to a random YouTube video my phone recommended. 🙈. It's great especially in bad weather and/ when I struggle with motivation to get out in freezing high winds here. ( I live in Ireland in the mountains)
