Hi,
I'm Amanda in Massachusetts.
50yrs old,
could use an active weight loss buddy.
I'm a shortie 4’11”, looking to lose 4-6# for my 1st goal by 6/12.
5/1: 122.6
5/8: 121.2 ⬇️
5/15: 119.4 ⬇️
Didn’t overeat at the Mother’s Day lunch yesterday.
Great WO: 3 separate pull-ups this morning! Felt great/less bloated.
5/22: 118.6 ⬇️
Staying focused!
I’m much better when I have a hard deadline with a set goal to achieve by then.
5/29: 117.8 ⬇️
I’m staying on track, but all the yummy fruit (mango, watermelon, bananas, etc) are calling my name, and I just want to eat a HUGE bowl of them!!!
6/5: 115.4 ⬇️
Actually had fun yesterday, planning what to pack, trying on different outfits BECAUSE I’m fitting back into my skinnier clothes again! I have a lot of great clothes that I never wear because I couldn’t fit into them!
Last week before my vacation: let's stay focused!!!
6/12: 115.8 ⬆️
Done with 1st goal: in time for my LA/Vegas vacation.
6/19: skipped – was on vacation LA/Vegas: had the BEST time!
6/26: 115.4 ⬇️
Now working on my 2nd goal to achieve before my birthday late August
Focusing on weight training:
Clothes are fitting better from the weight loss, but now need to address the flab.

The good news is that my trend weight (while moving a little throughout the week here & there) is still the same as last week even though my weight has went up. It is having faith in me that I haven’t had in myself. Time to show it that it was right!
06/27-198.0-(Trend Weight: 197.1)- Clearly this has been an out-of-control week for me. A week which should have been much better on paper. 3 days left in the month to try to make nice before going into July. Ugh!

We are still on our two week vacation. I am really relaxed and carefree. We eat fruit every morning for breakfast. And then we eat a lighter lunch. Our dinner is usually a protein and lots of veggies.
We have been swimming and walking on the beach. My broken leg has healed well enough and I can walk very comfortably.

Nice to have a decent loss this week. I felt better than last week so I was able to get back to my normal workouts but I'm still tiring easily. The smoky air is back so I haven't been able to do too much outdoors. Calorie burns per my fitness tracker were weird for a few days this week and said my heart rate was up. As a result I burned more than twice as many calories as usual for those days. Not sure if that was wacky or not but I resisted eating those calories just in case.
Have a great week!4 -

I am back from a fabulous vacation- we ate tons of fruit every morning, sometimes skipped lunch or split a wrap, and ate sensible dinners. We swam every day in the pool and we walked about 7 miles each day overall.
Now, I am back to reality. Have a positive mindset. I can lose a few pounds by July 31st. It's my birthday month and our anniversary... and a few more fun events. But emotionally, I am feeling so much calmer. I will meditate and go on walks every day.

I believe my weight gain from last week was from my creatine "Loading phase" water weight gain. I hated to see the scale increase that much but my recovery after working out is significantly improved with the addition of creatine to my regimen. I will continue to stay the course and hopefully reach goal before Fall.

Looking to join and be accountable on reaching my goal ideal weight. Will start my logs on food, water intake again as I am sodium sensitive and part of reason for weight increase. I noticed the weight increase begin to elevate my pain daily due to edema in legs. If I can keep that sodium to less the daily recommended amount, the pain decreases and my legs are not swollen.
Hope to learn more and have a buddy. Thank you and wish luck for everyone on their journey.6 -

After 4 days of out of town guests, eating at or a bit above TDEE every day and missing my structured exercise routines, I feared seeing a gain when I stepped on the scale this week. I was shocked to have lost any amount at all. It felt pretty good to get back on track after our guests went home. I thought that it might be difficult to get back to eating at a deficit but it really wasn't. I find that to be pretty encouraging.
Have a great week!5 -

Thanks for sharing your journeys
My update, is I'm adding extra protein, first to my morning coffee it's collagen then to my smoothies Hemp Hearts and powdered pumpkin seed. It is a noticeable difference with higher energy and less hunger. I’ve also pre-measured chia, bran, flax, protein powder, & dry peanut butter. This will make mixing my smoothies easier.
Best wishes

07/11-197.8-(Trend Weight: 196.6)- I traveled yesterday so this is not likely a true weight. It reflects quite an overnight jump. My trendweight shows that I have been doing pretty good this week. Now it’s back to basics and get this number back down. Much of it is likely water retention weight.

Good news to share! In mid June, due to stress at work and poor eating, my weight went up to 207. That was shocking. After school let off, and we went on our beautiful trip out of the country, and were active, relaxed and ate rather healthy (splitting entrees sometimes), my weight is currently 200 lbs. My goals is by the end of the month, I will be below 200 lbs. and hopefully 197 lbs. We have been exercising and eating fruit and yogurt for 3.5 weeks for breakfast and with that simple change, I think I am saving calories. Also, all of the the walks, bike rides and swimming we've been doing helps, too.
