    03/09
    50 minutes strength training moderate
    35 minutes stationary bike 3.6 miles

    Happy that there was no drop in strength and that form was improving on squats and deadlifts. Forgot to bring music to listen to while riding exercise bike so was not feeling it. Will remember music tomorrow.

    @rwood56. The website, RealSelf, has been helpful to me in researching procedures, getting an idea of what to expect and viewing before and after photos. Hope you find it helpful in answering plastic surgery questions.

    Weigh in Sunday
    gharvey2753
    SW: 184.2ibs
    Previous: 184.2ibs
    Current: 180.8ibs

    Initial target = 165ibs, then look to target 150's

    Fantastic loss! What changes have you made that is helping you with your weight loss?

    Thank you! The main thing I have changed is introducing discipline. I now record my meals on the tracker which I limit to 1500 calories most of which I try to eat as much protein and I can cut down on cards where possible so instead of a decent portion of rice I will have a small bit of rice but load up on the vegetables and chicken. The other thing I'm doing is weights every day. I wake up at 6am and the first thing I am now doing every day is 100 push ups to get the day going. Later in the evening I will do weights. I also intend to do some cardio this week and look to target 400 cals in that session. I'm gaining muscle whilst losing fat which slows the weight reduction but I'm motivated and will keep going to get to my targets.

    @Beautyofdreams thanks for the website. I will be looking at it. I also will be talking with a guy who is in the middle of 7 skin removal surgeries. Him and I have lost the same amount of weight but he had bariatric surgery.

    @lindamtuck2018 Thanks for the Canal suggestion! I added it to my ongoing list of attractions I'd like to visit when I find myself oot and aboot :)
    Also, I too am listening to my body and finding out that if I work out too late in the morning and don't break my fast, I feel bad too. Cheers to learning!

    Yup, I won’t make that mistake again. I am up earlier this morning and I am not getting distracted so I am late going to the pool.

    Happy Wednesday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:

    Weigh-in:
    PW: 155.1
    CW: 154.2 (-.9)
    SW: 250

    3/9:
    Calories: 1,193
    Exercise: 70 minutes elliptical and 15 minutes stretching class
    Steps: 13,147

    I exercised A LOT over the past week and stayed within my calorie limits every day - and managed a loss of .9 - not what I had hoped for but I will take it - any loss is a victory! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

    Wow! You are getting so close to the 100 pound lost mark. You must be close to being finished our weekly challenge. What city are you in now?

    @lindamtuck2018 Washington DC - I'm all done!

    Awesome job! I am 5 destinations behind you.

    Discipline is important. I wouldn’t call almost 4 pounds lost small though. Do you think having Covid last week contributed to the loss? I gained weight when I had Covid. I always do when I get sick. 🤷‍♀️

    Don’t be sorry about the gain. The important part is your back and on track.

    I will go first. I know I should say Scotland because my daughter is there but I have always wanted to go to Ireland. I would visit them all if I could.

    I do not like that our wonderful group is on the quiet side... Does anyone have any suggestions on how we can be more talkative?
