My Name is Donna, Age 63. I am 5’5” tall & I live in Northern Michigan USA
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Thoughts:
1. I am still down 17.3 pounds from my highest ending weight during these challenges (#5)
2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

Day 03-06/17-196.0-(Trend weight 195.8)
Day 04-06/18-196.6-(Trend weight 195.9) I was doing great yesterday until that huge bowl of cereal at 1:00 a.m. while I was binge watching Netflix. It was more craving (sugar) than hunger. I’ve pre-logged today. I don’t think I’ll have any trouble sticking with the plan today as I travel tomorrow for the truck repairs……. The repair itself they said would take 7 hours (plus 3 extra hours of total travel time) so there will be lunch out. I’ll try to bank some extra carbs & calories for tomorrow.
Day 05-06/19-196.6-(Trend weight 196.0) A great day yesterday but I gave in to a little late night hunger and cravings. Luckily I burned extra calories doing some yard work yesterday. I don’t know why my dinners are not holding me over better. On paper, the menus sound perfect for satiety and so do the snacks. I’ve got to figure this out.

@dawnbgethealthy - Thanks for the kind words. I love living in upstate NY. I'm outside of Albany and I really like the change of seasons.5 -
About me:Hi all, I'm Rowan, I live in Northamptonshire, UK.
I have been off and on MFP since 2013 and have been 128lbs at my lowest, 180.8lbs at my highest.
In the summer of 2021, I was at my highest weight and feeling utterly sick, tired, and depressed. I restarted tracking my calories, with no exercise other than walking 5 miles a day most days, and managed to lose 43lbs in about 5 months. But then I took a break in March last year and didn't come back until January this year, by which time I'd regained 26lbs. So I got back in the game and am now down 23lbs since then. It's taking me twice as long to lose weight this time, possibly because I was eating an unhealthily low amount of calories last time and lost a lot of muscle mass rapidly.
For exercise I walk 4.5 miles in the morning most days and do strength training at the gym for 1hr+ 4 days a week.
I have a health tracker watch which tells me that I have a BMR of 1258 calories a day and on days that I work out and walk I burn around 2,200 calories in 24hrs, 1500 calories on days that I don't, so exercising is very important in helping me get a calorie deficit, as well as being great for my overall health. I aim to eat around 1200 calories a day with a focus on fibre and protein and am doing my best to cut out alcohol but am still having the occasional drink at the moment, so something to work on.
The maths suggests I should be able to eat more than 1200, but in practice I have found I don't lose on anything higher but I might try to play around with increasing my intake on my more active days and see what happens.
I have a BMI of 24.8 and I have a high body fat percentage of 36.5%, so I need to lower my body fat by about 18lbs whilst maintaining my muscle mass as much as possible, to get it down to 28% and be within a healthy range.
So that's 63,000 calories to burn to equal 18lbs of fat, yikes! I'm just going to focus on 7lbs for this challenge, or 24,500, or 1,750 for half a pound a week, lol.
Sorry for the essay! Good luck to everyone, we can do this!

Ultimate goal 70 kg
Day 1 Thursday June 15 Already the 15th on my side of the world. 79 kg. I am at 25 BMI but my ethnicity calls for a lower BMI to get in a healthy weight range. Went for a 3 hour walk. went 1 cal over my net limit.

Day 3 Saturday June 17 78.8 kg
Day 4 Sunday June 18 78.4 kg. still coughing quite badly and food doesn't taste great, so keeping the calories down.
Day 5 Monday June 19 78 kg. 1 kilo in 5 days? Holy cow! I feel I'm eating enough. remind self that weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Prob this rate won't continue

🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)

Info from last day of round #15.
Day 100: 6/14 - 230.8 / 231.4 - 12452 steps 4.9 miles (3.1 mile walk)
Day 1: 6/15 - 229.7 / 231.2 - 11781 steps 4.58 miles (3 mile walk) - I use free version of Happy Scale app to track trend weight and next 5 lb goal. Spent time today catching up my weight entries to monitor trends. Cannot believe I’ve not entered the updates since Oct 20, 2022! I probably could have just skipped since my Trend Weight doesn’t really reflect since I was on vacation and not tracking daily weigh ins but I did it anyway. Feels like I’m back and focused.
I have it set to track trend weights based on the previous 14 days using Happy Scale smoothing method
Day 2: 6/16 - 229.6 / 230.8 - 6328 steps 2.4 miles Lots of water, 2 days of walking the dog 3 miles and journaling every bite with remaining calories in the green is paying off. No walk Friday to rest my knees.
1st week goal weight: < 230
1st week actual weight: 229.6
1st Week Weight Loss: 1.2
Challenge weight lost: 1.2
Challenge weight to go: 10.6
Working my way back down from the 4.5 lb gain on a 15 day vacation. The initial weigh in for this challenge was a day after 24+ hours of travel on 3 flights with layovers. So lots of bloat which I expected to peal off easily. Now for the hard work. I’m happy to be back under 230!
Day 3: 6/17 - 229.7 / 230.5 - 4533 steps 1.77 miles Gardened instead of walking to continue resting my knees. Yesterday snacked a little too much while also skipping exercise to baby my knees! Started off well with blueberries but then ended up eating rainbow sherbet, cheese & crackers, and Pepperidge Farm cookies. Journaled everything which is my positive note. -957 remaining calories.
Day 4: 6/18 - 229.1 / 230 - 5738 steps 2.27 miles Plans to weed more today as the garden got out of hand while we were on vacation. Better snacking day yesterday and pre-journaled my day with the exception of the veggies since I wasn’t sure what DIL had in mind as we celebrated Father’s Day with them last night. -836 remaining calories but my net carbs 84 for the day was great since they do Keto LOL
Day 5: 6/19 - 230.7 / 230.1 - 7852 steps 3.06 miles Let myself slip back into the 230s ARGH! Too much pie this weekend and no formal exercise since I’m resting my knees. Can’t seem to get enough sleep. 10 hrs of sleep during the night and still took an hour nap in the afternoon Sunday. Really good not snacking but did polish off the Father’s Day lemon meringue pie after lunch & dinner. Journaled everything again -151 remaining calories but feels worse than yesterday.
Day 6: 6/20 - 230.4 / 230.2 - Avoided journaling yesterday but finally came to terms with it. Lunch out with a friend at a Mexican restaurant which never helps the scale and of course is hard to journal. I didn’t eat the whole basket of chips! Counted out 12
-548 remaining calories. Not excited that my weight is in the 230s and that my trend line is going up! Need to quit resting my aching knees.

I am sure that your sleep is out of whack after traveling.
Also I remember how you were getting NO sleep basically when you were on those meds.
Totally relate to the garden getting out of control - in my case because I had no days off for 12. I just had 2 days off and got a bunch done, but not enough. We are extremely windy right now, and dropped down in temperature severely. This day last year was 42c here, this morning it was 7c. Really not good at all for my garden.
I am ready to reseed my lettuce bed amongst other things, but the gusty winds are preventing me from being able to do that.
Due for a photo of your garden : - )
@dawnbgethealthy - I have the opposite problem with weather! With temps over 100 my garden is fried except for the weeds! I'm just basically cleaning things out in hopes that the weather will cool down and I can plant more herbs to help with the Mediterranean dishes I want to cook this summer.
I'm so glad to have gotten off those meds right as my cruise started. At least the sleepless nights paid off ... I've not coughed since!
Today mammogram then later this week a follow up visit with the pulmonologist. I know there is still something wrong there but not sure I'm with the right doc yet ... though he did knock out the dry cough with the steroids and heavy dose antibiotics.3 -
Disappointed in this morning's wt. Biked Friday and something really irritated my hip. Super sore hip yesterday plus digestive tract is retaining, Will have to rethink the meds I'm taking for the arthritis. Retired in 2019. A year later I felt there was still "more" to my life so applied for a parttime job as, what I thought was a chef's helper ( dietary aide) at an assisted seniors' centre. Midway thru the interview I realized the 'job' was as a server ... paused, thought about stopping the interview, then thought "what the heck, let's see where this takes me". Now 2 1/2 years later I love my job. Work 3 days a week and it's hard work, but working with 80 and 90 year olds is so rewarding. But I struggle on work days because I'm right in the midst of amazing food and it's so hard to resist a taste here of cake here, a sausage there etc. But today I regroup (Thank God for Mondays!), and back to getting the next 3 lbs off.
Dawn, I'm just ?5hrs north of you at 108/100 Mile area. Must run, start work at soon.
@Lynn__W - I retired in January 2019 as well! By September I was volunteering teaching English (ESL) to adults free through my church program Learn English Ministry 2 days per week. The students which are usually 40-80 years old are from all over the world. I love it. Definitely gives me something that feels like I'm not just being self indulgent
Congrats on taking the job and finding joy in it!!!
Oh and the aches and pains these days ... when will they sort themselves out? Got to keep moving! Senior mobility and all. Use it or lose it!4 -
June 20th: 168.8, down .8 from yesterday. Our temps have tanked with north wind all day. And ohhh, but my aching hip by the end of work. It affected the rest of my day. Once again food journal is blank by mid afternoon. Today will write it as I eat it rather than 'keeping track in my head'. My weight does this loop, where it's lowest by Friday, then creeps back up thru the weekend, and usually is highest Monday. The next two weeks will be challenging as I have extra shifts, then it's road trip and possibly a few days camping. Praying these hip issues settle as they've already taken me out of my biking plans on the long weekend.
Was hoping to do a few personal posts but it's not to be this morning.
Have a great day All.7 -
Hi everyone.
I am Dawn. 5'2", 62 years old.
My BMI and stuff like that shows my optimum healthy weight should be between 110 and 118.
I am not cutting out any food groups, or anything at all really because I want weight loss to be sustainable for life. I have learned to have less of certain things, and have moved some other stuff to once per week or once per 3 months (Ribs, very fattening). If I thought that I couldn't have them at all I believe that it would be worse. For the most part I eat very healthy foods.
I have had quite a bit of success since I started MFP October 28.18, but this past year has been an almost 15 pound gain after being in the 130s for 2 years.
I love this long length of 100 days, and seeing how each week is going,
I have made a decision to limit restaurant food to 6 times per year since I seem to gain a few pounds each time which could take 3-6 months to get back off from one visit.
Rolling total so far: 2 out of the 6
Best of luck to everyone.
1st week goal weight: 143.4 (ambitious?)
1st week actual weight: 144.4
Day 3 Saturday June 17 - 142.2 - I was so busy with 2 jobs yesterday that I had a hard time getting food in. That was day 12 of 12 workdays in a row. I went grocery shopping at 8pm and Ribs were on sale. Yup, I ate a rack of Ribs last night. I was feeling very lean all day, leaner and leaner as the day went on. I wonder what my weight would be today had I not eaten Ribs. Soooo, that it is for Ribs for me for 3 more months. I used to eat them once per week, that was part of me ending up at 207 pounds, not ideal for 5'2". I really love Ribs, I might have even enjoyed them more since I no longer have them every week. The extra pounds might come over the next few days, or not since I have been mostly burning more calories than I ate over the past week. We'll see.
Day 4 Sunday June 18 - 142.6 - Not too bad. I worked for hours digging in the yard yesterday, so burned a bunch of calories. Planning more yardwork for today, but at least the grass is all cut now : - )
Day 5 Monday June 19 - 144.0 - Not happy to see that number, hopefully tomorrow will be different. This could be fallout from Ribs on Friday.
Day 6 Tuesday June 20 - 143.2 - Glad to see a little drop. Can I get back to the beginning of the week weight in 3 days?
Day 7 Wednesday June 21
Day 8 Thursday June 22
Day 9 Friday June 23
2nd week goal weight: Less than the beginning of the week 142.2
2nd week actual weight:
Start weight of this 100: 144.4 - Up one pound from the start of the last 100 of 143.4, and the previous was 142.26 -
I know that weight loss means changing our lifestyles: sleep habits, eating choices, activity.
I just heard an interesting piece on the radio about how minutes in nature greatly reduce stress (cortisol). 20-30 minutes daily, not necessarily even walking, but sitting by a river, waterfall, forest.
Finding time for that can be challenging for me, maybe time weeding my garden counts?6 -

2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

Day 05-06/19-196.6-(Trend weight 196.0) A great day yesterday but I gave in to a little late night hunger and cravings. Luckily I burned extra calories doing some yard work yesterday. I don’t know why my dinners are not holding me over better. On paper, the menus sound perfect for satiety and so do the snacks. I’ve got to figure this out.
Day 06-06/20-196.8-(Trend weight 196.0) I’ve really been wasting June. The opportunity to eat right is there every day and the weather has been good for extra outside activity. Lots of excuses but, in the end, really no excuse whatsoever and nothing that should stand in the way.

About me:Hi all, I'm Rowan, I live in Northamptonshire, UK.
I have been off and on MFP since 2013 and have been 128lbs at my lowest, 180.8lbs at my highest.
In the summer of 2021, I was at my highest weight and feeling utterly sick, tired, and depressed. I restarted tracking my calories, with no exercise other than walking 5 miles a day most days, and managed to lose 43lbs in about 5 months. But then I took a break in March last year and didn't come back until January this year, by which time I'd regained 26lbs. So I got back in the game and am now down 23lbs since then. It's taking me twice as long to lose weight this time, possibly because I was eating an unhealthily low amount of calories last time and lost a lot of muscle mass rapidly.
For exercise I walk 4.5 miles in the morning most days and do strength training at the gym for 1hr+ 4 days a week.
I have a health tracker watch which tells me that I have a BMR of 1258 calories a day and on days that I work out and walk I burn around 2,200 calories in 24hrs, 1500 calories on days that I don't, so exercising is very important in helping me get a calorie deficit, as well as being great for my overall health. I aim to eat around 1200 calories a day with a focus on fibre and protein and am doing my best to cut out alcohol but am still having the occasional drink at the moment, so something to work on.
The maths suggests I should be able to eat more than 1200, but in practice I have found I don't lose on anything higher but I might try to play around with increasing my intake on my more active days and see what happens.
I have a BMI of 24.8 and I have a high body fat percentage of 36.5%, so I need to lower my body fat by about 18lbs whilst maintaining my muscle mass as much as possible, to get it down to 28% and be within a healthy range.
So that's 63,000 calories to burn to equal 18lbs of fat, yikes! I'm just going to focus on 7lbs for this challenge, or 24,500, or 1,750 for half a pound a week, lol.
Sorry for the essay! Good luck to everyone, we can do this!

Ultimate goal 70 kg
Day 1 Thursday June 15 Already the 15th on my side of the world. 79 kg. I am at 25 BMI but my ethnicity calls for a lower BMI to get in a healthy weight range. Went for a 3 hour walk. went 1 cal over my net limit.
Day 2 Friday June 16 79 kg. No loss but maintaining is better than gaining. Didn't do much today as I'm coming down with a cold.
1st week goal weight: 78.8
1st week actual weight:79 kg
Day 3 Saturday June 17 78.8 kg
Day 4 Sunday June 18 78.4 kg. still coughing quite badly and food doesn't taste great, so keeping the calories down.
Day 5 Monday June 19 78 kg. 1 kilo in 5 days? Holy cow! I feel I'm eating enough. remind self that weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Prob this rate won't continue
Day 6 Tuesday June 20 78 kg
Day 7 Wednesday June 21 78.1 kg. Every day it isn't raining I go for at least a 60 min walk. While walking I look out for dropped coins. So far I have found 90 cents (US 54 cents) I plan to save it all and buy myself a non food treat at the end of the Challenge.

@tinathescreamer - I like to walk as well! Great idea looking for coins. I got in the habit of looking for bolts, screws, nails, metal objects when at our fishing camp because the walk was toward the boat ramp and the road was bumpy. The boat trailers would lose all kinds of things that could give someone a flat tire.
Now at my home I still look for them ... Found one on my walk just last week in an unusual area of a street crossing. Picked up the bolt so someone doesn't have a miserable day

My goal for 2023 is to get into ONEderland and make it stick. Changing my life.
Plans:
🔹Find workout routine that works (walk, bike, planks, yoga, swim, strength training, take advantage of retirement to be more active); target walking 100 miles each month
🔹Drink more water (target min 64-80 oz daily; start with 1 glass before coffee)
🔹Journal Food Daily (tracking with MFP since 12/28/2018; basically skipped June-Dec 2019; recommit 1/1/2020; skipped out April-July 2020; recommit 8/6/2020; derailed in 2022; recommit 1/3/2023)
🔹Daily Vitamins (Dr’s orders; need to not ignore)
🔹Drink less alcohol (3 AF days per week; ~12-16 AF days per month; limit 1-2 glasses per day)

Info from last day of round #15.
Day 100: 6/14 - 230.8 / 231.4 - 12452 steps 4.9 miles (3.1 mile walk)
Day 1: 6/15 - 229.7 / 231.2 - 11781 steps 4.58 miles (3 mile walk) - I use free version of Happy Scale app to track trend weight and next 5 lb goal. Spent time today catching up my weight entries to monitor trends. Cannot believe I’ve not entered the updates since Oct 20, 2022! I probably could have just skipped since my Trend Weight doesn’t really reflect since I was on vacation and not tracking daily weigh ins but I did it anyway. Feels like I’m back and focused.
I have it set to track trend weights based on the previous 14 days using Happy Scale smoothing method
Day 2: 6/16 - 229.6 / 230.8 - 6328 steps 2.4 miles Lots of water, 2 days of walking the dog 3 miles and journaling every bite with remaining calories in the green is paying off. No walk Friday to rest my knees.
1st week goal weight: < 230
1st week actual weight: 229.6
1st Week Weight Loss: 1.2
Challenge weight lost: 1.2
Challenge weight to go: 10.6
Working my way back down from the 4.5 lb gain on a 15 day vacation. The initial weigh in for this challenge was a day after 24+ hours of travel on 3 flights with layovers. So lots of bloat which I expected to peal off easily. Now for the hard work. I’m happy to be back under 230!
Day 3: 6/17 - 229.7 / 230.5 - 4533 steps 1.77 miles Gardened instead of walking to continue resting my knees. Yesterday snacked a little too much while also skipping exercise to baby my knees! Started off well with blueberries but then ended up eating rainbow sherbet, cheese & crackers, and Pepperidge Farm cookies. Journaled everything which is my positive note. -957 remaining calories.
Day 4: 6/18 - 229.1 / 230 - 5738 steps 2.27 miles Plans to weed more today as the garden got out of hand while we were on vacation. Better snacking day yesterday and pre-journaled my day with the exception of the veggies since I wasn’t sure what DIL had in mind as we celebrated Father’s Day with them last night. -836 remaining calories but my net carbs 84 for the day was great since they do Keto LOL
Day 5: 6/19 - 230.7 / 230.1 - 7852 steps 3.06 miles Let myself slip back into the 230s ARGH! Too much pie this weekend and no formal exercise since I’m resting my knees. Can’t seem to get enough sleep. 10 hrs of sleep during the night and still took an hour nap in the afternoon Sunday. Really good not snacking but did polish off the Father’s Day lemon meringue pie after lunch & dinner. Journaled everything again -151 remaining calories but feels worse than yesterday.
Day 6: 6/20 - 230.4 / 230.2 - 4209 steps 1.63 miles. No gardening or exercise. Avoided journaling yesterday but finally came to terms with it. Lunch out with a friend at a Mexican restaurant which never helps the scale and of course is hard to journal. I didn’t eat the whole basket of chips! Counted out 12 -548 remaining calories. Not excited that my weight is in the 230s and that my trend line is going up! Need to quit resting my aching knees.
Day 7: 6/21 - 229.9 / 230.2 - Today I plan to walk!! I'm also going to help DD prep for my granddaughter's first birthday party on Saturday before heading to book club tonight at a Mexican restaurant. I did my mammogram and went to watercolor class yesterday. Great day on snacking but fast food for lunch and too much wine watching LSU baseball. -457 remaining calories.

My weight come and go, depending on how dedicated I am to the journey. I lost almost 30 kg when I started my fitness journey and gained 15 kgs back during pandemic and no workout regime. Have been working out since the start of year but my food habits have been all over the place. Starting eating clean and nice since Monday. I wont be checking my weight every day but would do it as frequently as possible.
Day 5 Monday June 19 80.2 kg: This is my most stagnant weight. Its so hard to break the jinx.
Day 7 Wednesday June 21 78.2 kg: I am not sure if this is actual weight loss or mere water weight deflection. I would only believe this if i can sustain this till next week.

2. I am up 8.8 pounds from my lowest ending weight (#9)
3. I am still down 5.8 pounds from the first challenge (#1)
4. I am still ahead of the game and these challenges are working for me. It is up & down and slower than I would like but it’s generally working. I’ve got to try harder and put in the work. When I do, clearly the results are much better.

Day 07-06/21-196.6-(Trend weight 196.2) I Stayed the course yesterday. Ankles feel so tight without the waterpills. I can feel fluid retention that I can’t do much about. I’ll try pushing water today again. I had my truck repair appointment out-of-town at the dealership wrong. It wasn’t Monday, it is tomorrow. Luckily my daughter has her head on straight and we didn’t go. LOL. Today I take my two teen grandsons for their haircuts at my salon. Lunch afterwards. Since I’ll be out of town tomorrow for that 7 hour repair and 3 hour total drive, I’ll skip lunch today and just watch them eat.

@deepwoodslady - You've mentioned the water pill a couple of times this past week. I apologize since I didn't go back and read everything while I was out on vacation 15 days. You were taking the water pills due to high blood pressure I thought. Did the heart doctor take you off the water pill or the nutritionist? Were they concerned about ongoing usage damaging your kidneys?
Keep drinking that water!!! And if possible put your feet up higher than your heart to reduce the swelling at least once per day.

I remember a person who'd lost over 100 lbs being interviewed. When asked how she/he did it, they just replied, "Well, I know how to lose 1 lb, so I did that. Then focused on losing the next pound." I guess we yo-yoers do that, but our issue is we let go of our 1 or 2 lb loss and regain it. After an excellent day yesterday I blew off plan in the evening. Deep thinking on best strategies to Break this Trend.
DeepWoodsLady, you said " I’ve really been wasting June. The opportunity to eat right is there every day and the weather has been good for extra outside activity. Lots of excuses but, in the end, really no excuse whatsoever and nothing that should stand in the way." ..
Exactly how I feel, how I've wasted so many weeks and months just yo yoing, WTGo on staying on plan yesterday.
Dawn, also heard the same radio programme, then realized my "blahs" moody could be just that. In a 'normal' year we're out paddling a couple of times a week but this yr, it's cold and the weather is too moody to make for relaxing paddling. Isn't it crazy that we live relatively close to each other and you'll soon be doing the same job. I'd prefer afternoon shift but find that working just 3 days a week works better.
Bumbumo, you wrote about "how dedicated you were to the journey". I think that's the key to our progress. Need to re-dedicate myself at 7pm, 8pm, 9pm etc.

Day 1 Thursday June 15th: 166.8

1st week goal weight: <165 revised on Tuesday to <166
1st week actual weight: 166
Day 3 Saturday June 17: 167.4
Day 4 Sunday June 18: 167.8
Day 5 Monday June 19: 168.8
Day 6 Tuesday June 20: 168 June 20th: 168.8, down .8 from yesterday. Our temps have tanked with north wind all day. And ohhh, but my aching hip by the end of work. It affected the rest of my day. Once again food journal is blank by mid afternoon. Today will write it as I eat it rather than 'keeping track in my head'. My weight does this loop, where it's lowest by Friday, then creeps back up thru the weekend, and usually is highest Monday. The next two weeks will be challenging as I have extra shifts, then it's road trip and possibly a few days camping. Praying these hip issues settle as they've already taken me out of my biking plans on the long weekend.
Day 7 Wednesday June 21: 167.6 Today’s focus is maintaining this loss. 1 egg + 1 white instead of 2 eggs, 1 ½ slices WW toast instead of 2 etc.

I didnt mention my age and height earlier so doing it now. I am 29 years old female and a little over 165 cm. Have always been on a heavier side and have changed my mind over the years on why and how i want to lose weight. Its been a long journey and I have decided to log in my workout and other details for motivation
I am eating under my calorie requirement but not highly dedicatedly checking my fats, condiments and spreads. For that I have left a bit of room in my daily intake need. I am trying to workout 5 times a day after work. 3-4 days intense strength training and 2 days yoga for mobility and flexibility. I havent incorporated too much cardio as of now but I am planning to do that, just have to figure out how and when.
Day 5 Monday June 19: 80.2 kg: This is my most stagnant weight. Its so hard to break the jinx. It was a normal easy yoga day for me and I didnt try to overdo as I was super tired.
Day 6 Tuesday June 20: ***: I didnt check my weight today. For workout I did chest and triceps. 5 exercises with progressive overload (whenever possible) 3 reps of 12 each. Plus 3 exercises of triceps with progressive overload (whenever possible) 3 reps of 12 each.
Day 7 Wednesday June 21: 78.2 kg: I am not sure if this is actual weight loss or mere water weight deflection. I would only believe this if i can sustain this till next week. For workout I did intense back workout. With over 6 exercises plus deadlift where I hit my PR of 30kg deadlift. Long way to go as I couldnt do a lot of reps. I did good stretch post that because my back muscles are not as strong as I want them to be. They can pain a lot.
Day 8 Thursday June 22: 79.8 kg: We did a thorough calibrated weight check today at work. I am excited to see if I dropped any fat and built muscle. But i am not too disappointed with this weight. I can feel lighter already with little to no bloating. Its yoga day today and i really need that stretch. Plus i am going to try and fit in a bicep routine.
