I have two dresses (one size US 14 and the other size EU48) that have back zippers. I get in the dresses, I can even wear them with jackets, but I'd like to zip them up completely. I tried them on this past week-end; I'll make another attempt mid-November.14

There are 10 weeks till the end of the year, just ten weeks left of 2023. I would like to lose 5kgs by then to clock in at 85kgs I would be close then to tipping over from obese to just overweight then and would be on a good footing to start 202410

Go to the gym two days in a row!8

Guys, I need help. I've been in the gym for almost a year. But my diet is not great. I just am starting up with tracking calories again because I need accountability. My goal now is to lose the 5 lbs I gained in the last two months since my gym activity went from 5 days a week down to 1-2 days a week due to work scheduling.7

Mini goal - not yet changing sizes but having current clothes fit and look better.6

I have 2 right now:
1st - Going to a wedding on Nov. 11th and want to be down 10 lb.
2nd - My focus is a trip we are taking next March. I want to feel good, energetic and be able to do activities.9 -
Mine is being under 200 by the end of the year. That'll be big for me since I haven't been under 200 for about 7 years now.13

@evileyefirefly I hope to be under 200 around the same time. It's looking like I'll get there around mid-January. 27-ish lbs to go. Let's do this!9

I have just the thing for you, Suzanne (and anyone else who's interested). The Ultimate Accountability Challenge is a group that focuses on building three sustainable daily habits: tracking all food, staying within our calorie allowance, and getting 20 minutes of exercise a day. The group is now private for the rest of the month, but you can still join -- it's all explained in the intro. Come check it out and join us, you won't regret it. (And don't be intimidated... we're all there to work on our health together.)2 -

This happened to me today! Unfortunately I have gained one pound....but I am STILL in the Overweight category. Definitely out of the Obese category forever as it would take quite a large increase in calories and sharp decrease in activity to go back up. In other words, I have reached a new level of lifestyle. I have tweaked my calories and daily exercise as I adjust to continually improving.
On July 19th I posted this. I've been quite busy but maintaining my lifestyle I hadn't properly exercised in at least two weeks, but my eating has changed completely I don't own a scale so I am not a slave to it and use a very accurate Community Centre one instead. Today, I realized it's been about a month and I should weigh myself Clothes fit amazingly good So I have NO idea what the result is and expect a gain.
I've lost three ounces! 😉 Definitely have permanently changed the way I eat. Still maintaining at Overweight and if anything....this little break has me MORE motivated than ever to resume my daily exercise. I'd love to get to and maintain a "Normal" weight this Fall. My eating habits were such a gradual change I can never go back I didn't use Noom, just listening to my own body cues.
An update on my progress.
I've lost a total of TEN pounds and can SAFELY SAY Obesity is now a sign post several miles behind me!! I am now FIRMLY Overweight in the 53rd Percentile for my age and height. After losing 8 pounds...I will be in the 50th percentile. This means HALF the women my age and height in North America will weigh less...half will weigh more.
In my daily life I eat what I want. The difference is I eat differently. Smaller portions. No junk. More vegetables. My current weakness is one baked good a day. A scone, a cinnamon bun, a cookie. I don't feel deprived and currently walk for exercise. My advice is to gradually change your habits thru meaningful eating, drink water and move daily. Just move....walking, yoga. Get that blood flowing thru your limbs!! It will happen. My next Mini Goal is to get to that 50th percentile. Probably January. Watch this space!!! One day....Overweight will be safely behind me. Obesity will be a very distant memory. And Normal Weight will be my new.....Normal! 😉18 -
Current mini goal... Onederland by Christmas! I've got 12 pounds to get there and I'm a TURTLE at losing so it will be close!12

I am 182cm (6 foot) and 74kg (163 pounds). The BMI recommendation is to maintain my weight. But my goal has always been 62kg (137 pounds). It is possible that I want to be slim but healthy weight because of my culture and ethnicity.
I reached 63kg, although technically not identical, but I consider I had reached the milestone. But we all know what happened.
Now I try to have the motivation to go again and aim for maintain the weight when I reach the goal this time.
I find that if I am goal-driven, after I reach my goal, the progress will get reversed. The trouble with backwards direction is that, it is very demotivating.
Instead I now have dieting in mind, and try to live my days normally. My mini goal would be a reduction in my weight when I stand on the scale next time (I weigh myself daily), however small the reduction is. But I try not to think about dieting and try to forget I have a (mini) goal.
I am just wondering, a) go small and slow but steady instead of b) drastic but progress reversal is a better option.
This time I certainly are less motivated.
