You can add me too. I lost close to 50lb in 2020, and put 25 back on in 2021, dropping them again has been much slower this time. My diary is locked, but I'll see if I can figure out how unlock it. I'm 33.

Approximately the same situation. I lost 50 pounds in 2020, and gained 25 back in 2021. It's been very difficult to stop that slide.

Competitive athletes are definitely among the outliers for BMI guidelines. You look very fit in your profile pic, I looked much heavier at 147, and I'm 5'4. Do you have a target body fat percentage?

I've been avoiding recording my weight on the progress tracker, because its less fun when its gone up, especially when it's been a while since I've made a record, but I think I'll be happier if I just get over that, and go back to regular or daily check-ins

I've gained a few pounds back since I stopped tracking in ~September. Back to it! Ready to track calories and eat lots of tilapia this month. Starting weight May 2019: 165 March 2020: 155 October 2020: 127 Feb goal weight: 125 Feb 2: 129.6

Re sleep aids-- I have had better luck with the ones where the active ingredient is doxylamine (unisom, or the walgreens knockoff 'wal-som'), vs zzquil which is diphenhydramine. Both are common in nighttime cold medicines. With zzquil I find myself waking up after 4 hours, and pretty quickly develop a tolerance and need…

I've been buying clothes on the thrift app 'depop' periodically as a little reward when I've had a good few weeks, or when I've clearly dropped a couple sizes and things stop fitting. One of my petty goals has become 'look good in a crop top', though im definitely too old for that look :''-D

I waste a lot of time procrastinating on working out. Totally relate. Even before coronavirus, I always seemed to lose an hour 'getting ready' to go to the gym, before actually going. I don't have any suggestions, but I'm excited to see if anyone else does. I mostly try to look on the bright side of 'at least the workout…

32 and 5'4, starting 170, currently 133, aiming for 125. There's a website called mybodygallery, that will show you women at different heights and weights-- it varies a lot from person to person, but there's trends. I might try to reach 120 if I can make it to 125 and still feel good, but wouldn't want to go lower than…

Start weight ~170 in summer 2019 Goal weight 125 Sept 1 134.2 Sept 2 132.8 (expected water drop) Sept 5 133.8 I should stop blaming water, and accept that i gained three pounds in the last 1.5 pounds weeks of August. I never expected to get this close to my goal weight, but its frustrating being so close and then making…

I'm not at all an expert, but my unqualified advice would be to increase calories, especially from protein, on the kickboxing days, to promote recovery, and increase total step count on the non-kickboxing days to bring the deficit back. Walking is great for burning calories with minimum physical stress. And to double check…

There's a good article that gets linked here sometimes, about fat loss, water retention and absolute weight loss. Cant find it though -- it had a really illustrative graph showing basically your situation. Legion athletics has a good article on water retention too, just not the one I was thinking of

6 inches is a lot to lose from your waist in three months, that should indicate significant loss, hard to understand how that's not reflected on the scale-- even assuming significant muscle gain. I assume clothing is fitting differently to reflect the measurement changes? I know its never that the scale is broken...but…

Threw out my back in the last week of August, and gained three pounds in a week. Think it's mostly water, and will drop, but I'm ready for a great September :-) Start weight ~170 in summer 2019 September 1 start weight 134.2 Goal weight 125 September GW-- ready to be optimistic! 125 August-oct 2019 ~ -5 Oct-Feb ~ -15…

I binged a bit yesterday too, I like to think optimistically that it can...almost be a metabolism reset? So at least there's some upside. Back to being good today. Hopefully you will feel better, and full of energy tomorrow, after giving your body a break today. You've lost almost 40lb in just under 4 months, that's…

I eat a lot of frozen meatballs- higher protein, only a couple hundred calories, and will make me not-hungry for a few hours. Also looong walks-- burns time and calories, relaxing and doesnt make me super hungry the way running would. Also im probably closer to BMR calories a couple days a week-- around 1500-- those aren't…
