I have my own thread, but I haven't done a public challenge before. After the dust settled it turns out I gained back more than I'd thought - about half of what I'd lost (dealing in very small numbers since I started at a healthy weight) - while I was sick for 2 months and not paying attention to my diet 😑 So what the…

We've already eaten a bunch and there's a fair bit more on the plants. Thinking about trying my hand at making salsa....

I haven't updated in a while because I've paused trying to lose weight while I deal with a pretty major health challenge. As long as I'm not gaining I'm ok with it. Time will tell if/when I restart, or if I end up deciding that low-mid 140s is good. I'd been aiming for mid-high 130s so I'm not far off. I'm sitting a bit…

I have no idea of the quality of the Daily Mail as a source, it was the first link in the list. I don't generally read newspapers or whatever, and am not really familiar with any outside of the 2 local to my city. None of which changes a single thing about my actual point; it was just one example. Like I said, the one I…

I realized after posting that the link isn't clickable and the edit function seems to be broken on mobile. Hopefully this works.... Man, 60, poisoned himself after taking medical advice from ChatGPT

Please, do not rely on supplement (or other health) advice from chatgpt or other ai's!!! This is far from the only time it's given dangerous advice, just the one I saw recently enough to remember what to search to find the actual information (rather than my browser just taking me to chatgpt). [insert anti-ai rant here,…

After my last post I got super sick with pneumonia. I stopped exercising, obviously, and also stopped paying attention to what I was eating. I commented to hubby yesterday that I've basically been eating like a toddler - my meals have been super inconsistent in timing, size, nutrition, everything. Whatever appealed in the…

My weight's been sitting pretty steady at about 145 lbs for the past couple of weeks, which means I'm half way to my (loosely defined) goal. I haven't been able to ride for the past month or so, but I've done some Pilates every morning for 14 of the past 16 days. Even if it's 5 minutes some days, I'm still moving my body.…

June 29 146 lbs Loaned my tape measure out again, so that's all I've got for this week.

June 15 Weight 146.6 lbs Chest 30" Waist 33" Hips 40.5" Waist measurement has jumped but I was expecting it. Last night I had a "treat" meal that I knew would leave me bloated this morning, plus I'm ovulating. My strength and stamina are slowly improving, so that's the real story right now.

June 7 No measurements, but back down to 145.4 lbs. Onward....

Late because of the long weekend. May 19 Weight 148.4 lbs Chest 30" Waist 31.5" Hips 40.25" The temptation is to get discouraged. Zoomed in on my Libra graph to how I usually look at it day to day, I can clearly see the plateau: Zoomed out though, it changes the perspective: I've had periods like this before - look at…

This thread (and my efforts more generally) have NOT been abandoned. Last week I was unexpectedly out of town for a family funeral, with no access to a scale. Also didn't bring the tape measure since we hadn't planned to be gone that long. Some life stuff (that's going to be a regular thing going forward) has popped up…

April 27 Weight 148.6 lbs Chest 30.25" Waist 33" Hips 40.25" Weight-wise, over the past couple of weeks I'm stalled. In terms of today's raw numbers, we had Chinese takeout for dinner so I'm holding a lot of fluid from the salt content. Trend-wise, Libra still says I'm losing 0.2 lbs/week. I'm already at a healthy weight…

April 20 Weight 147.2 lbs No measurements this week because I loaned my tape measure to my sister & haven't got it back yet. Weight-wise I'm in a bit of a stall, I expect for two reasons. One is that I was off work last week, and my eating's been less planned/organized without the structure of the workday. I also have a…

Apr 13 Weight 146.4 lbs Chest 30" Waist 32" Hips 39.5" I got on a sweet geriatric gelding yesterday for a walk/trot lesson. My coach and I were thinking about it, trying to figure out how long it's been, and we're both pretty sure the last time I rode was in 2014. As expected I have some significant DOMS setting in. Also…

Excuse my hair in the second one... I did it first thing so I wouldn't forget.

Aaannnd I'm back! April 6 Weight 147.0 lbs Same as 2 weeks ago, but I had a large, late dinner. Yesterday I was 144.6, so take that how you will 🤷♀️ Chest 30" Waist 32.75" Hips 40.5" Still managing to lift, at least lightly, most weeks. There was one week I tried and my body said "absolutely not!" half way through my…

@yirara and @frankwbrown in case it matters to either of you, you can manually change your hrmax on Garmin. I adjusted mine with my cardiologist's help, since I'm on meds that lower my heart rate & reduce how much it will increase with exertion, and we also need me to stay (at least mostly) in specific zones when I…

Also just an aside, not all of the default nutrient goals in the app will be appropriate for every person, especially if there's health issues at play. With IBS, make sure your fibre goal is appropriate for your body and not a case of "the app says I should get this much so it must be better for me."

I've discovered this after my previous favourite became really hard to find suddenly. Very happy with it!

March 23 Weight 149.2 lbs Chest 30.25" Waist 32.5" Hips 40" Obviously I know I didn't gain 2 lbs of fat in a week! I'm retaining a lot of fluid right now, and also had a larger, later dinner than usual. The measurements are telling the real story here, which is continued progress in the right direction. My neurologist has…

I can't see Recipes, Maintaining Weight, or Motivation and Support. Also whenever I load the main categories page it opens at the bottom of the page instead of the top. I have a thread in a private group where I seem to be the only active member left, that I was going to request be moved to Motivation and Support instead…

No post last week but I was 145.8 lbs. Dehydrated. Also wasn't able to get measurements. So, this week.... (I can't figure out how to format text, or stop it from automatically double-spacing line breaks on mobile... among other issues... this update seems extremely buggy!) March 16th: Weight 147.0 lbs, which makes a lot…

When faced with things like the office candy bowl: one choice at a time. What I mean by that is, do I want to have some right now? That's one choice. Perhaps in a couple of hours I'll be asking the same question again. One choice. Then maybe lunch time... salad or burger? One choice. So say I choose not to have the candy…

March 2 Weight 147.6 lbs Chest 30.25" Waist 33.5" Hips 40.25" My weight has kept going down, but this is a pretty big drop from where it's been. I expect at least partly because I had a very small lunch yesterday so less waste in transit. I have some bloating around my waist (and my inflammation & pain are way up) because…

No numbers this week. I had oral surgery on Thursday and haven't been able to eat much of anything. Nothing I weigh or measure right now will reflect reality.
