Notes : ok that spike looks bad but I know exactly why that has happened. I woke up this morning sore all over from my strength sessions. I’ve started up again this week and yesterday was particularly hardcore. I know I am retaining water from muscle repair and I suspect this will come back down over the next couple of days. Not stopping. Today is rest day and tomorrow back on the strength training. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@Mari_moulin I also like to find my trending weight by checking trendweight.com each day after my weigh-in. I have it linked to my fitbit but I am sure you can manually enter your weight in also. It helps me not to freak out when I see my temporary fluctuations on the scale. Give it a try! I think you will like it. It's straightforward and it can trend your fat loss too! I hope this helps.2 -

I am 34 years old and 5’2”.
For the month of August, I plan to work out at least 5 hours a week and maintain a 7000 calorie deficit per week. Really hoping all my efforts result in a big change this month.
**My scale measures in 1/8 pound increments**
8/1 153.5
8/2 152.5
8/3 151.5
8/4 151.5
8/5 150.75
8/6 151.0
8/7 150.125
8/8 150.5 (3 pounds down this week!!)
8/9 151.5 (Not sure why the scale is going up. I am eating less than 1300 calories and exercising. I didn’t eat more salt than usual. I am sore from lifting so that could be it.)
8/10 151.25 (I have been crushing my workouts and my diet has been on point… I have been weighing every smidge of food).
8/11 149.5 (4 pounds down!!! 🌷)4 -

I don’t follow any particular diet plan at the moment. Mostly CICO. I’ve done so many different diet plans but I have found CICO is what has worked best for me. I don’t like to restrict myself from any one food as I tend to then binge after a few days. I eat whatever I want but try to limit it and stay within my calorie range. I also workout ALOT. I workout almost everyday now mostly strength training. I am starting a beginners weight lifting program as well.1 -

Notes : I am over the moon today. I finally had a whoosh. I’ve been waiting for it to happen and was beginning to worry with all the gains I’ve been having over the past 2 weeks. I went from 212.4 yesterday to 208.8 this morning. Fingers crossed it’s all downhill from here 🤞🏻3 -

I completely get not being too restrictive. If I am too strict with my diet, I fall off of it. Eating enough protein seems to help with my appetite so I do try get in a decent amount of protein.

Yes I am working on the protein intake. You are absolutely right! this would help curb my hunger. Thanks for this reminder!1 -
@mari_moulin I am averaging about 90 grams a day. I am trying to gain muscle mass and lose fat. I am scared if I don’t eat enough protein, I won’t see gains the way I want to.
A guy at the gym said he is doing something like 210 grams a day. 😳1 -

Wowza! How does he get it all in!? When I spoke to my trainer about weight lifting/ bodybuilding he said the diet is very hard. He gave me a brief description and it does in fact sounds like a lot to eat and not very tasty.

I am eating a 1/2 of a large chicken breast and a few odds and ends like cottage cheese, peanut butter, etc. 90grams of protein adds up easily. I definitely have a modified body building diet; I still want some enjoyment!
A big steak and a couple chicken breasts is probably close to 210
