I’m 5’7, 29 years old, female. I follow a lifting
program and would like to decrease my body fat while maintaining muscle mass.

My starting weight in Oct 2021 was 156.6

Goals: stay in a mild calorie deficit, hit 110-140 grams of protein per day, 20-30 minutes of cardio on lifting days (4xweek, non-work days), complete all 6 programmed strength training sessions during my 4 days off per week

• In Maintenance since July 2019

• Muscle/Fat %ages in normal range

Just because Covid restrictions aren’t compulsory doesn’t mean they’re not necessarily.
People are still dying out there……… and the numbers are on the rise again.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

I also bought a couple bell peppers to cook up to add in somewhere for some color sometime this week. Not sure dinner tonight yet. Did end up getting my workout in after dinner last night. Today should be the yoga challenge. Water still good! Getting back on track slowly but surely. My continuous glucose monitor should be here Friday and I can start watching trends and understanding what I can do to help avoid diabetes and I'm pretty excited to get some answers.

Previous Day's Comments

2/06 - DNP
2/07 - This is likely a slightly false high since I finally got some TMI in my life after weighing in (and drinking coffee and a ton of water so weighing again will just be false weight in that regard). Apologies for absences. Spent the weekend helping sellers clear out the house for trash and donations and then yesterday my laptop was dead! By the time it charged, I completely forgot. Guess I didn't quite plug it in all the way like I thought. Oops. Closing date is officially set for the 18th, just haven't gotten the time. Working to schedule electricity and internet switchover, deep clean, and getting plans ready for painting party as well as moving party. BigBro has his first day of school today. Postponed since he was supposed to get his schedule coordinated Thursday but school was closed Thursday/Friday for the ice storm we had, so that happened yesterday instead. Whew. One thing down, now a whole house to go haha! I have a group challenge for yoga for the next month through NF which is every other day. I'll do bodyweight workout today since it's "off" day for yoga. Water has been good through all this, but food is hit or miss. At least I have one solid habit going for me!

Day/Weight/Comment

02/06 - 199.5
02/07 - 198.6 - Not the best weekend for eating. Really had a craving for soft pretzels so I got them. Worked out a lot but wanted to do more. Just have so much to do around the house that I didn't have as much time to work out as I wanted to. Still got a 10 minute PR on peloton and this morning woke up at 5 to do legs and another ride. Now to control diet this week!
02/08 - 198.0 - Weight and exercise going great, mental health... eh. Always get into a tax season depression but it's hitting early and hard this year. In the past I turned to alcohol and food. Looking for an outlet now. Exercise is great but it's also just part of my day routine so not really a "reward" for getting through each day. I don't know... just writing to write.
02/09 - 198.2 - Woke up and did a core workout, then full body, then a 20 minute cycle. Had more planned but the tablet froze because I sweat so much on the ride... Ugh. Hopefully getting home early enough tonight to be able to walk my pups. I miss them so much this time of year and I miss even a 20 minute walk at night...

Goals: HIT.MY.STEP.GOAL!!! 10,000/day; <100 carbs/day; Pelo ride 2-3x/week; end the round lower than what I started it at.

2/6- 187.4 96 net carbs and Pelo ride done. Happy with the loss!

2/7- 188.4 I did well with food yesterday-58 net carbs. I fell short on steps though. I think the gain is from spending time on my feet in the kitchen yet again. I wish I could find a way to prevent or minimize that. I find that it also happens if I spend too much time sitting at my sewing machine. It gets so frustrating! The only help I’ve found for it is getting on the Pelo after a day of baking.

2/8- 187.8 Had a great day yesterday- 46 net carbs, step goal hit, and strength training done. I am starting to think I’ve hit a bit of a plateau. Sure, I’m down a bit this morning, but I’ve just been staying within the same 3lb range for the past three weeks or so. I’ll just keep plugging along.

2/9- 187.8 I think maybe I need a bit of a maintenance break. I’ve been going hard pretty much since August. And now I seem to be a bit stuck. So as of today, I’m increasing my calorie goal for the next week or two. Finished yesterday with 43 net carbs, step goal hit, and Pelo ride done.

Good day yesterday, and my weekly calorie average is below maintenance, so I feel back in control. Sunday is soup day (my goal is to make a different soup every Sunday for a year—we’ll see), so I’m trying to decide…. In January, it was minestrone, mulligatawny, Morrocan harira, and creamy chicken tortilla. Come to think of it, I might have to repeat a few! 😁

2/07 - 179.2, 179.5
I settled on Vegged-out Pumpkin and Back Bean Soup last night. I subbed out one can of black beans for a can of cannellinis, and added half a cup each of green beans and corn. Delish, very low calorie, and very satisfying. I’m enjoying my “soup of the week” routine!

2/08 - 178.8, 179.3
Creeping back down. Now to keep it up. I did snarf some Triscuits last night when I got home from doggy school—skipped dinner and I was hungry. Today all planned. Reading your posts keeps me inspired—thank you!

2/09 - 178.6, 179.1
Another good day yesterday, and I have today’s menu all planned. My “exercise” will be pulling everything out of the walk-in mess, er, closet in my office to set up a new 5-shelf unit I got and then organize everything. I know that sounds thrilling—but it is because I have not had enough shelves and the jumble scares me every time I open the door! Ha!

Hi, I’m Kathy.
57, F, 5’8”
3rd round! Rebooting my lifestyle after several false starts. I need accountability to make sure it gets done.

Return to MFP SW (Dec 2021): 267
HSW: 267
CW: 255.6
UGW for now: 200, then reevaluate

Goal for this round: less than I started with

Day/Weight/Comment
2/6 255.6 Out to dinner with friends last night, so expected to be up, and was. Tracked everything I ate and drank, though.
2/7 254.6 Cold, rainy Monday here. Food is all planned for today, along with a walking workout. I think I’m very late to the Leslie Sansone party, but her workouts don’t bother my knee too much.
2/8 254.4 Food planned and logged for today, and walk planned.
2/9 252.6 Whoosh! I know this will bounce around but it arrived at a good time for me emotionally. Lots going on today, so meals are planned and logged. Two hours of handbell rehearsal tonight will take the place of today’s workout.

2/6- 198.0 (+.6) Yesterday was my first day at maintenance. What does that mean? I changed my goal from losing two pounds a week to losing .5 pounds a week. That increased my daily calories from 1200 to 1590. My low weight was four days ago at 195.6 but overall my weight loss has slowed to a crawl. I had my indulgence meal on Thursday which I’ve been having once a week since I started and so a bump up was not unexpected. I started logging here on MFP the beginning of June 2021 and was following the State of Slim plan which is a program I went through almost seven years ago. There is a book that outlines all the details and research. I’ve modified and refocused that plan on calories through MFP. Game changer for me. SOS (State of Slim) suggests giving your body a diet break after 4-5 months. That doesn’t mean giving myself permission to go back to my old eating habits. Instead, increasing calories to maintenance allows me to test the waters and could provide a reset to my body so it gets back into the weight loss mode. I did this in October for a week, which was during challenge 169 (above) and lost .2 pounds. The following challenges, I lost 5.2 pounds and 4.0 pounds and then gained a pound in Challenge 172 which was over the holidays. My overall goal is to lose 104.1 (160) pounds and I’m currently down 66.1 pounds, so I have 38 to go. Several of our wise sages on MFP suggested I read this post and the comments when I was approaching the last maintenance break. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10604863/of-refeeds-and-diet-breaks/p12/7 I’m going to still be attentive on weighing and measuring my food and will keep up my exercise. It feels good to do this reset. I think I hit tired mode a few days ago so this is good timing.
2/7- 197.0 (-.4) I had an indulgence meal at the end of the last round, so my weight is coming down from that. It’s amazing how the extra maintenance calories take some of the pressure off. I always have such high expectations to lose almost every time I step on the scale. Now I can relax a little. Today is no planned exercise, but tomorrow I’ll be back in the pool. I do have a bit of the winter doldrums and can’t wait to get back to hiking in the spring.
2/8- 195.6 (-1.8) Wow! Back at my low weight from last Thursday. I’m guessing my body is just getting rid of salt from my indulgence meal at the end of the last round. I’m eating about 1590 calories a day, which is what MFP suggests for a half pound loss a week. That’s up 390 calories a day from what I was doing when I had it set at a 2 pound a week loss. Now that I’m here, it will be interesting to see what this maintenance break brings. I’m excited to swim today.
2/9- 195.2 (-2.2) I ate up to maintenance calories and about a third of my exercise calories. It felt like so much food. Swimming was wonderful. This is a new low weight for me. Today, I’m meeting two of my favorite artists to catch up and play. I can’t wait.

Day/Weight/Comment
2/6 / 178.6 / Nice drop after a big day of exercise yesterday. Going out to the mountains to snowshoe today. Weather is beautiful and we love being so close to such a beautiful spot. Makes outdoor exercising inspiring and helps combat the winter blues. These rounds sure do go fast, don't they? Can't believe another one is kicking off.
2/7 / 181.6 / Fun day yesterday in the mountains followed by pizza and hot chocolate afterwards. Did some light cardio exercise when I got home and used the hot tub. Stomach definitely feels bloated today which is not a feeling I deal with often.
2/8 / 181 / Did a strength test yesterday, rode the Peloton, did some boxing, and walked. Lots of movement! My husband also smoked beef ribs on his charcoal grill. Portion size was small to fit it in but it was very tasty. He is an excellent cook.
2/9 / 180.4 / Feeling pretty sluggish in the mornings this week which is a bummer, but what can you do. I let myself sleep in this morning and started the day with a hot shower. We have dinner out with friends tonight so I've pre-tracked and I'll be eating at maintenance.
