Hi all! Hope you are doing well! First of all, I would like to thank @lindamtuck2018 @mari_moulin and @azkunk for the kind words and motivation from last week. It really meant something to me, thank you! I was a really bad week, went overboard and felt awful because of that. Shifting focus away from bad things onto…

Hi all, First of all I want to apologize for not updating sooner. Terrible week in terms of nutrition and dieting. Completely went overboard with my weekend cheat meals and completely blew all the work done. Managed to gain 800grs Friday-on-Friday due to being irresponsible and eat like an idiot like there was no tomorrow.…

Hi all! Very happy to end up in 2nd last month, was not expecting! Thank you all for the support! Let's go to this week progress: Finally managed to go below 80! Felt good, it is indeed one of the hardest checkpoints to cross mentally. Did not meet the week objective of losing 1.1Kg but it is still a great victory to drop…

I weight myself everyday with a Omron BF511. Then I put the values on the excel and work with that data. MyFitnessPal is mainly for food logging and to plan my meals. I changed my cheat meals from Sunday to Saturday. Cheat meals add a lot of weight and you can see from the graphic, all the spikes happen in Saturdays and I…

Good morning from Portugal everyone! Hope you are all safe and well during these rough times and strong on your weight journeys! Here is my weekly checkup: Objective from last week completed! Wanted to lose at least 1Kg and managed to lose 1.1 Kg. Still, feeling the psychological pressure of the 80's! Got to keep up, got…

Ahah, I love the 80's as well, but when that thing is in the scale, it just don't go back to the 70's no matter what :smiley: Thanks Linda for all your support, this group has indeed helped me a lot in keeping myself accountable! It's been great hanging in here you're doing a great job! :smile:

Hi all! Hope you are all safe and well as always! :smiley: Here goes my weekly update: Not a good week for weight loss for me. I definitely over abused my cheat day over the weekend and blew all the work done. This and the fact that 80's are my nemesis, I need to be more strict during this week to finish October with a…

Hi all! Hope you are all safe and well! Weekly update: So basically I have not yet reached my weekly goal but tomorrow if everything goes well, I might still do it. Yesterday I ate cake so I believe it had its influence on the weigh I lost between yesterday and today. No worries since I am still on track since I am still…

How's my favorite team doing? Weekly weight in! Keeping a steady rhythm with a controlled cheat day on Saturday or Sunday. On track for this year objective, which is to reach 75Kg / 165 lbs by the end of the year. Username: TASCascalho Weigh In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight): 184.7 lbs (83.8 Kg) CW (Current Weight):…

Greetings team! Here's my weekly update: So far on target, no major concerns in terms of dieting. I stopped going to the gym, it seems that somehow I get better results by focusing first on dieting and then when I shift plan to body recompositing, most likely will return to it, Username: TASCascalho Weigh In Day: Friday PW…

Thanks @lindamtuck2018 ! Shall I update my weekly status here? Or wait until the October thread? Thanks!

Hi team, Is there already an October thread? Thanks!

Hi all! Guess who's back! Hope everyone is doing great! So vacations are over, two good weeks of eating junk everyday. Felt great emotionally but, physically, felt awful. Was bloated all day, the gigantic carb load made me sleepy and very lazy. In some days I had to take a nap after lunch to get through the day. I think…

Hi all! Weekly weight in! Tough week. I have my cheat meals on Fridays so Saturdays I always add a lot of food weight lol. Username: TASCascalho Weigh In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight): 185.6 lbs (84.2 Kg) CW (Current Weight): 184.9 lbs (83.9 Kg) LTD (Loss to Date): 11.2 lbs (5.1 Kg) @lindamtuck2018 will need your help…

Thanks! It is not consistent since calories shown by watches and machines are not 100% accurate but, if you get consistent inconsistently, you will benefit from it. You can run 30 minutes and burn 100 calories or you can run 30 minutes and burn 400 calories, depending of so many factors and stuff, but if you aim at…

Apologies for the late reply! @lindamtuck2018 , answering to your question form the previous chat: "Well you finished August with a bang. Well done on another stellar week. I am just curious as to what you do for exercise. Do you do both cardio and weights? I am still liking all your data." With the Covid stuff I only get…

Hi all! Another round, last one for August. Good week. Reducing daily calories intake really helped in boosting the weight drop. Water retention sometimes reflects in the weight ins but no longer recurrent. Username: TASCascalho Weigh In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight): 188.9 lbs (85.7 Kg) CW (Current Weight): 185.6 lbs…

Do not give up! Leave the negative thoughts behind and start looking for positive things. If you cannot think about them, do them. Stick to your diet and whenever you feel like you want to eat rubbish, go out and go for a walk. Bring a bottle of water and just walk around the neighborhood and drink water. Emotionally will…

Yap, I am a little bit of data OCD so I have created a spreadsheet and over the years been updating it. I am now shifting the mentally to start using averages, I believe it is more accurate due to daily weight fluctuations. For example: I think it brings clarity on your progress and it does not kill your motivation when…

Weekly weight check! ###### Last Week ######## So, last week this was the status: Did not considered a good week given the amount of weight loss but I tried to shift my focus to the BF% lost.

Weekly weight check! ###### Last Week ######## So, last week this was the status: Been overeating and neglected exercise for 2 months, revamped my diet and exercise and I was expecting an huge drop on weight. Username: TASCascalho Weigh In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight): 196.4 lbs (89.1 Kg) CW (Current Weight): 191.1 lbs…

Thanks! The only tip is consistency. 80% diet, 20% exercise. Define calorie intake threshold, go for an high protein diet and cardio in the gym. Keep that up and results will appear. :)

Hey hey gang! Username: TASCascalho Weigh In Day: Friday PW (Previous Weight): 196.4 (89.1Kg) CW (Current Weight): 191.1 (86.7Kg) LTD (Loss to Date): 5.3 (2.4Kg) Down is forward! :blush:

Sunday check-in. Every Sunday is meal prep day for lunch and breakfast. A lot of people believe that they don't need meal prep or it is too time consuming to invest in. But, did you know, 80% of the success in weight loss is in the kitchen? I meal prep every Sunday (for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) and Wednesday (for…

Hi team and thank you for having me! My name is Tiago, I am 33 years old and I live in Portugal. Been a member of MyFitnessPal since September 2013. Currently on my longest streak, 350 days. I was always chubby and had a lot of issues with my weight, especially being fat and having man boobs. In reality, I never wanted a…

Forget about those diets. Keep it simple. Calculate your calories according with TDEE and stuff like that. I'll add you as a friend if you need any help :)
