Current small goals: -The next kilo! By the end of the month, hopefully. - Run 30km this week (currently at 17.5km) - Lift weights tomorrow (keep my average frequency above twice a week) - Don't snack between meals today

I've been working on my diet/fitness since April/May. I have a few... - I ran 46km last week (I've been gradually increasing the milage for a few months now). - I rejoined the local running group and I'm running in the middle of the pack - For weightlifting I've surpassed my 5 rep maxes from 2 years ago on everything…

Hi, Please add me :smile: I'm looking for some friends on here. I'd love to see what other people are doing I'm looking to lose about 5kg/10lb. I'm not tracking my food - I'm just checking in daily to be accountable for some habits: Running - currently 20km/week, aiming for 35-40km/week by early next year so I can go back…

Add me please! I'm working on being consistent with running, lifting weights, eating lots of veggies and sleeping enough.

Maybe a veggie target: Eg. At least 8 serves (half cup per serve, or one full cup for leafy greens) per day - potatoes don't count. Or maybe mindfulness: Eg. No multitasking while eating. At least 15 chews per mouthful

Hi, Good luck with it. I'm not sure what your workout classes involve, but have you considered some kind of resistance training to help change your body composition?

My goal weight is to be within 57-60 kg (125.5-132lb). To have a BMI in the healthy range I'd have to be under 61.6kg. I'm fairly muscular, but I really want to be in that statistical band, just because it's there. We'll see when I get there, but I want to look really good for once, so I thought little under the top end of…

Hi @veggieerin98 ! I'll add you... I'm 26 and living in Australia. I'm trying to lose a similar amount: ~22lb (10kg) Good luck with your weight loss :smile:

We get a vegetable CSA now, our veggie man buys things from other farmers as well so we get cool things like avocados and tomatoes out of (our) season. I've recently left 'poor-uni-student' status and I love being able to spend more money on nice food. I'm kind of amazed at how much I CAN spend on food if I'm not careful…

I try to stay low-ish carb. Too many carbs make me want to eat everything. I try to stay roughly near the macro goals of 25% carbs, 60% fat and 15% protein - carbs and protein usually end up being a couple of percentage points higher than that. I like to get at least 80-90g of protein and 25g of fibre and usually exceed…

It sounds like you've got a great attitude. Hopefully the emotional work you've done will help you handle any tough patches on the way to your goal. I understand the feeling that my goal might not be 'significant' if it's not a lot to lose. I think stories of people reaching a rock bottom in their lives and then making a…

Thanks l4a_p! I remember that I used to think I had a slow metabolism, but once I started tracking I realised I actually have a super fast metabolism, I just eat heaps! It's good, but even at 2100cals I get hungry. With running I could already run 5km in one go when I started running, but most days I only did 1.5-2km so I…

Welcome!

Hi Everyone, Sorry I'm late to the party. I had a crazy week and forgot about joining this thread. Lots of work and then baby goats getting born!

I really like how you track and average; that sounds like a great idea! What app do you use for it? And good work on meeting your goal too :smiley:

Thanks guys!! :smiley: My motivation is high right now, hopefully that'll get me past the first few challenges until I've got momentum as well

Hi, I'm new here as well and looking to lose a similar amount (20-25lb, I think, 8-10kg)

Thanks @l4a_p ! I took 2 weeks to just track my eating without trying to change it (averaged 2350cals net), and since my weight stayed the same I made my goal 250cals less than that for last week. I averaged 30 calories over that, so I'm pretty happy with myself :) Especially since my weight is down a kilo since Friday,…

Hi, I'd like some friends so I can see the progress other people are making. Please add me :) I'm 5'3 and 68kg(about149 lb) with a goal to be under 60kg (132lb) by May next year. I'm going to track calories(with an open diary), eat a lower carb diet(not keto) and lift weights 3x/week.

Hi, I thought I'd put a comment here because I think this is a great idea; I will join in October's thread! Good effort guys!

I don't have a graph, but after 3 months of running I noticed that I did the same 5km track, at the same pace, but my heart rate was 10 beats per minute slower.

Exercise helped me, a little bit, on good days - not so much on bad days. Sticking to a running or weight lifting program was hard - I trained intermittently. But hiking was usually good. I had a feeling of going SOMEWHERE and walking over rough ground kept me from ruminating quite so badly. And exercise was a check box on…

5km easy, flat run -34mins Still to do: Kettlebell circuit - takes about 12 or 13 mins

Hi, I think I fit in here... I'm 25 and 65kg (143lb) at the moment, I want to get down to 58kg (127lb). I've had a good running routine for the last 3 months, but I'd like to add in strength training and I'm struggling with that. And of course my eating habits are my biggest challenge to losing weight. Feel free to add me…

I walk for up to a kilometre before I start running, but I don't start tracking with my Garmin until I start running, and I stop it when I stop running, then walk home. I do it that way so my average speed for running activities will be accurate. Usually I don't record the walking at the start and the end but sometimes I…

Don't worry about it. I prefer working out (running or strength training) on an empty stomach, or at least a couple of hours after eating a meal(small snacks are usually OK) - I feel over full and like my stomach is sloshing around otherwise.
