Hi, first timer here!
Recommitting to myself as I've realised I've been 'trying' to lose weight for 2+ years and I'm the same as I was then.
45yo woman at the end of October so September is a kickstart.
Weigh in today 100.7kg
Goal I have no idea as clearly my goal making hasn't worked this far.... So concentrating on spending calories instead of weigh ins.
173cm
I've successfully lost weight several times in the past and managed weights regular but my work and family commitments have changed a lot since then. I've recovered from significant illness at Easter where I can now exercise and get out of breath healthily now so
1h Beat sabre or vr Les mills 2 x a week
Walking daily to hit min 8k steps, with 5 min increase in duration every 3 days
14h Intermittent fasting to assist calorie deficit
Aiming for 1600 cal net but struggling to get under that as I also have to avoid dairy.
*Any* metaphorical bumps to check calorie deficit are very welcome!!

You guys are amazing. I’m new here and sometimes struggle with getting back to conversations I’m into.. anyone want to friend me?…
I have been going through mass stress lately .. we sold our family home - in the 5th generation to live in it.. development coming in waves and though we did alright and have a great new property - it’s still be bitter sweet and loaded with tears and stress and conflict with family. Have lost a couple people close to me lately, and really struggling with complete change in routine and some changes at work ..
I haven’t managed to stay at all consistent with fitness for … gawd I don’t even know. Let’s go with 2 years - at least since my dad died.
I’m feeling like a disgusting lazy frump, I’ve been eating and drinking my feelings and my mental health and fitness are of course linked and in a down spin.
The pros: I walked my dog everyday so the month is off to a start of slightly better - and I’m writing this from the treadmill I need to get back to the weights but I’m a long drive from the gym now and feeling hard to get back on track…
Sugar and alcohol have been on the up the last couple mo the during the move ..
I want to connect and crave some contact with some like minded people. I’ve just also been so discouraged and defensive that it’s hard.
September goals…
Find the guts to get on the scale…
Without knowing where I’m even at- it would be nice to see the low 150s…
More so just a feeling other than heavy, weighed down, bloated and craving sugar.
How to get there …?
- track my meals and macros .
- Work out daily
- Drink water
- Meal prep and knock off the grab and go sugar and carb Stuff ..
- Make fitness pal friends and check in here.

Welcome to the group, @Roothevan and @csilverthorn22. @csilverthorn22 I'd say to get back on track, start with two small things, do them until you know you do them without resistance, and add one or two more things, and keep going. It's all in building a routine that you can sustain. Wishing you success as you get started here. @Roothevan, it sounds like you have a plan, and that's always a great start. Sending the best for your next steps in this journey.3 -

Had a big meal last night so the scales reflect it. After picking up the weights for the first time on Sunday I had noticeable muscle and joint soreness Tuesday and Wednesday. Don’t know if it’s DOMS or back pain from the old injury or unrelated to the weights themselves (could be joint pain from the gluten I had on Saturday). Going to eat really clean, drink water, stretch, and try with the weights again tomorrow.

Boy the scale really waffled between 185.9 and 186 for a hot second but apparently landed at the lower weight so I took it! I am pretty certain it was a water weight drop because I was feeling bloated for two days and I think I finally sweat hard enough and drank enough lemon juice with water that it must have helped. My nutrition coach friend is on my case about meeting my macro's but it is hard.. I have to eat a number of smaller meals through out the day to get there and its annoying.
I discovered inadvertently that cold plunges are AMAZING. I was having alot of malaise from the meds on Monday and decided to take a dip in our "seasonal" pool that we had thought we were going to drain and take down for the summer. (night time temps are keeping the water pretty frigid right now) It was rough getting in that cold water but wow, I felt SO MUCH better after a quick 5 minute plunge which was about all I could manage. Malaise gone. instantly. I have never been a fan before but now.. I might have changed my mind.
So we are going to leave up the pool a bit longer while the day times temps remain in the 80's for this week /weekend. and maybe figure out a way to get a real cold plunge for the winter???
Have a great week everyone..
1% better every day!

WELLLLLLLL
I bit the bullet and got on the scale this morning...
as expected, it wasn't great... like, middle number increased not great
butttt... I 'earned it' - indulging in desserts, 'moving fast food', alcohol, and office snacks and sitting on my duff...
I got back on the treadmill last night, and, I did a resistance band work out - I packed my clothes so I can hit the gym, the old house, and or see the horses after work and will always have extra clothes so I dont have to drive home, which 'should' help me get to the things i need after work, and start doing the gym thing again. I may have to consider switching gyms eventually but for now... !
Halloween is coming - so I will let go of my labour day hate and consider the upcoming exciting things i do like about fall. time keeps on turning...3 -

Sept-2-196.8
Sept-3-194.1
Sept-4-192.8
For sure this must be a water weight drop, but I’m pushing the plan hard this week… lowering the sodium a lot and pushing the protein and lots of natural exercise.
The bad part is I’m off to another bbq this Sunday, there with be sodium and those ice cold ones involved 😮
I’m expecting a couple pounds coming on back.
Working hard on the game plan again today and getting lots of greens and again keeping that sodium down 👍
Have a great day everyone

A handful of new joiners and I believe this is the key to making this group work. The more support we rally here and the more people we feel we are accountable to, the better this is going to work. I haven't made the best progress for the first couple of days of September but I did expect this as I was going to slow down my progress intentionally. Just that it feels a little scary that I might actually just plateau here. Lack of fast progress notwithstanding, I am still going to push through. I have an indulgence trip coming up next weekend for 5 days so I am pretty sure I will get some of the weight back but I will definitely work on getting my *kitten* back together when I am back.
For those in the same situation, where you have setbacks and minor bumps along the way, know that you are in control and you can get it back when you decide you want to take back control. YOU are in charge. No one else is.

Alot of folks find that weighing themselves daily makes them a little nuts. I actually find it helpful. It might be that my OCD tendencies are taking over..
Before I started this whole plan, I was that person that never weighed myself.. other than when I went to the doctor. Then I would self loathe for a few days, vying never to look at the scale again til the next year and go buy a food item to make me feel better, which was likely a high calorie item. Food rewards for my emotions and Denial got me to where I was. I don't want to go back to that person.

Random observation on when people start to notice your weight loss and actually open their mouth to say something.
For people who see you infrequently, like 2-3 times a year: 10% weight loss
For colleagues, people you work with and see weekly: 11-14% weight loss
For extended family who sees you every week: 15-19% weight loss
For immediate family who sees you every day: 20% or more weight loss
Of course, this is just based on weight. If we are talking about building muscles and changing your physique, then body fat % comes into play. Comments (compliments) are a shot in the arm in your journey. But don't despair when you have not hit the point when people are commenting. No one loses 10% weight in a day. Stick to it, step by step. Compliments will come in waves after the first.3
