    thanks for the new thread @ManifestingToday ! And welcome to any new comers. This group has been key in keeping me on the accountability path.

    @Emkaygirl1 - you are not the only one dealing with meno issues . Its a real struggle but your on the right path with the higher protein and moving more.

    March- Beginning weight 212
    End of June weight -200.8
    July 1- 200.5
    July 31- 192.6 (my goal was 197 so I made it and beat it, )

    August goals- 187 lbs and focusing on strength training , continued fitness level improvement.

    August 1-5 we were on vacation

    Aug 5th- 194.7-
    I am a little surprised at this gain because we did have a couple days of hard hiking but I did consume alchohol and there were a few sweet treats so I probably shouldn't be surprised. We spent a fair bit of time driving as well...... So back to the hard work and focus on healthy food and exercise

    Not completely shocked, but this will of course go down again as I stick to plan and work out. Crazy how one day can throw everything off though.

    Welcome to the group, @JanesGame. I hope you find the weight logging useful.

    It sounds like we all had some fun over the weekend -- which is good. Like @Emkaygirl1 said, we have to have some days where we treat ourselves and enjoy the moment. I totally agree.

    Have a great Monday and start to the week everyone.

    Yes I too agree that we do need to have some “FunDays”
    I had 2 in a row sat. And Sun. Yikes
    The scale let me know this morning.
    I need to be good this week.

    Discipline is the key : Learning a new language, keeping the house clean, maintaining a routine for my babies, being prolific at work.

    I'll be keeping the 10:14 intermitent fasting, and I'm going to commit to doing daily yoga. I'll need to find a time during the day or the evening, but it is required. I'll take it one day at a time, tracking everything in the bullet journal.

    Ultimate goal: 73 kg
    Medium term goal: Stop looking like I'm pregnant
    Short term goal: Reach my pre-pregnancy weight 93.0

    Initial June 13th weight: 103 kg
    July 1st: 97.1 kg
    August 1st: 93.9 kg
    August 2nd: 93.3 kg
    August 3rd: 93.8
    August 4th: 91.8
    August 5th: 93.3

    Monday, here we go again! It's so nice to see new people in the thread. Welcome 😊

    Weights yesterday went better than I thought it would. PB on my bench press albeit with low weights but it means there’s progress. Tried the 45 min stretch with cardio session today, idea is that it complements the weights sessions. Hated every minute of it - these old knees do not enjoy jumping!

    Well it was bound to happen. And boy did I notice the change in my body over those days! Hahha. My stomach was NOT happy with me!

    But it was a lovely weekend. And we are back on track today. Last day of the free trial of Premium here. I just can’t get behind the price. But now that I know I can still hang out here I’m not too sad about it.

    @axlrozman Welcome to the group! Frankly, the month in Spain was worth it, to try all the foods and experience everything a country has to offer. Now you can just work off the gains and still remember all those good times. :) Wishing you continued success as you work toward your goal!

    @SofaKween I used to love stomping around doing step aerobics, jumping rope, all sorts of stuff. My knees now are like: NO. It sucks how our bodies change, but at least you know what is and isn't working. <3

    @AuroraUwU0 I like your persistence! Routines, tracking, keeping with the vision. You've got this. I hope you enjoy the yoga, regardless of how you work it into your schedule. I really enjoyed that when I was doing it regularly.

    @Emkaygirl1 @dannytrees1 If you had a good time, then it was worth it. You know the numbers will come down again. I'm in that boat with you, but we know how this works.

    Have a good Tuesday, everyone!

    6: 187

    I somehow managed to not indulge even though it was a long weekend. It helps that my partner now wants to cut back too. He’s always been supportive of my efforts but now I need to support him in return so it amplifies the effort a bit.

    Birthday party this evening so there will be wine, just as well I don’t eat cake.

    @ManifestingToday - wasn't just the forward jumping we had to jump backwards too. Reminded me of watching one of the grand children learning how to jump - the arms and body lift but the legs barely leave the floor :)

    Had a good evening yesterday – should have managed my meals better throughout the day as had an early lunch and then dinner in the evening wasn’t until 8 ish, so snacked on salty nachos around 6. Wraps later had cheese in them which I am not a fan of, so that at least cut the carbs down later on as I just had meat and salad.

    Climbing today.

    At least till this Saturday, then I have another bbq to attend. I will be half good.

    Have a great day all
    We’re all doing excellent 🌴🛺

    3 days to put on three pounds. 3 days and I lose 1.3😂. The game is fixed folks!

    Ah well. To be fair it really does make sense. But it’s been nice to get back to my healthier eating. It was hard this week because I didn’t get to go shopping and it’s less tempting to eat right when the foods I have to eat right with aren’t yummy. But o treated myself to my favourite ‘little gems’ tomatoes. Some Salmon. An amazing salad dressing that I look forward too. My flavoured bubble water. I fill up on all these delicious but healthy choices and In not left craving a rice crispy square at 2pm. (Well I am. But I can say no with almost convincing conviction.)



    I’ve started to find healthy choices that I ENJOY (as Ive always wanted to enjoy my meals) and when my food isn’t doing it for me I’m more apt to turn to foods that do. I’ve never been able to relate to the food is fuel mindset. Of course it is. But food is also ‘good’. And life is too short not to embrace sone enjoyment out of fuel.

    I discovered Starbucks eggbites over the weekend and boy those were good! At 7$ a pop I’m sure o can make them at home for a quarter of the price. I found a recipe I’m going to try for next week. It has cottage cheese for extra protein. I think it will be good!

    Hope you are all hanging a good week!

    its been a few days , things have been really busy since we got back from vacation and I have been stretched really thin. I know i have not done well with eating healthy meals and with the meds my appetite has been in the tank. I just tried to focus on getting enough protein in but not sure how I did since I didn't track. Last night was the first time I felt like I had an appetite. Overall, Feeling way off track right now with meals/workouts/consistency even though the scale is being nice to me, I know its because I am not eating much at all which isn't the best. I have another busy weekend but my plan is to get back on my schedule next week.


    March- Beginning weight 212
    End of June weight -200.8
    July 31- 192.6 (my goal was 197 so I made it and beat it, )

    August goals- 187 lbs- focusing on strength training , continued fitness level improvement.

    August 1-5 we were on vacation
    8/5- 194.7
    8/6- 195- this might take longer than I expected
    8/9-191.4
    * If I can stay at this weight I have finally hit the 20 lbs loss mark .. so that feels pretty good
