๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ:
Have had this app for years, with a couple big successes. Have โfallen off the wagonโ for a year now, and ready to get back on. Have learned that this app is definitely a useful tool for my success. I also believe surrounding yourself with likeminded individuals helps you accomplish your goals. That, and good leaders/mentors. Iโm fortunate to have had some in my lifetime! Time to put all Iโve learned back to work! ๐ค๐ช๐ฝ
๐ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค: Made the decision to re-upload the app, decided to explore the Communities section and for the first time ever, joined a couple of these accountability forums to help keep myself
accountable!

I also didnโt have cheat meal or day, I was struggling yesterday (caught myself wanting to eat a bunch of baked goods my sister made) but I didnโt cave and Iโm so proud of myself! I wonโt be eating too much under my calorie goal though because I noticed Iโm not getting enough energy in the gym and I feel weak. So Iโll be going up to 1700 like before. I want to take it slow, and keep my muscles!!2 -

๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ: Been trying to lose weight after my last baby. Im quite short so 140 was considered obese. I used Noom for my last pregnancy and it worked like a charm. I lost all the baby weight and even went back down to my high school weight. With this second baby its really been a struggle I did Noom at first and lost 11 lbs but now Ive been stuck ar this weight since December because life is too crazy and have not been putting it as priority. I cant continue Noom because its too expensive and I just could not keep up with all the to dos. I noticed that what worked best was the accountability so here I am!!

I just found this string, and at a very opportune moment in my journey. Like some of you, I started back after getting some distressing news on my triglycerides, cholesterol, and A1C. I have for many years been pre-diabetic, and I historically consume a lot of alcohol. But whenever I've gotten poor blood results, I start back working out and dieting. This time, I hadn't been to a DR. since before Covid. My blood workup was so bad, I literally was in danger of stroking out. My triglycerides were over 580! Needless to say, I started back working out and dieting. I had been dining out every day, and drinking. I had a nasty gout flareup and wasn't able to wear a shoe, or work out, so I just enjoyed my life eating and drinking
Since August 23, I have religiously worked out, and dieted. I have cut out red meat (for now) and eat a vegetarian diet 3 days/week. The other 4, I have chicken or fish, and lots of veggies, salad, etc. Remarkably, I dropped 30 lbs in less than 2 months. And that is the problem. I continue to expect huge losses, and it's just not possible. I was losing at least a pound/week because I gave up alcohol. The balance was a calorie deficit from working out and diet.
But I've hit my second plateau. I continue to use the treadmill daily, and I push. I get my heart rate up by raising the incline, and I work. I also began weight lifting again. Now, I know part of my plateau is that I am building muscle mass at the same time I am dieting. I have increased my protein intake, and I do adjust my target caloric intake for the amount of working out I do
I do hope the plateau breaks soon, it's been 5 days that I have actually put on a lb or two over my low. It is frustrating, so I am glad to be able to share with you all. I know I need to keep working--in fact, I did a second treadmill workout just a few mins ago.
To all, I hope you keep on working. I do hope we do all benefit from sharing. And thank you for listening--and happy to get any feedback on how to break this plateau.3 -

Like I said to my sister, the changes happening on the inside of your body are more important than the visual changes your eyes see on the outside. When you DO go back to the dr. and get labs done- compare those results to the previous ones and let those good or better numbers be your inspiration to keep the faith. I too, hope this forum of sharing helps this time around. Iโve succeeded a few times in the past but Iโm tired of falling off the health/nutrition/fitness wagon and want this to be my last time starting over from a big gain. Iโm 65, and want to go into the last quarter of my life in the best physical condition, and STAY there! This needs to be a lifetime commitment to my SELF, FOR my SELF! Letโs all do this!! ๐ช๐ฝ
Good luck to us all on our journey! ๐3 -
@ggerics - Thank you for sharing. It gives me some insight on some of the challenges I will be up against. It sounds like you're on the right track. Like you mentioned, it could be muscle gain or you could be retaining water. The scale can't
recognize between muscle weight and fat weight. Therefore, the exact number on the scale isn't important. Its just a way to measure your progress. Do you use other forms of measuring your progress? I find it encouraging to take measurements and pictures too. You should be proud. 30 lbs. is great progress. Keep strong. ๐ชYou are capable!3 -
