Bump

I've still got about 20lbs left to lose, but here I am at 213 lbs, 198 lbs, and 183 lbs. I am about 5'11 1/2"

CrossFit is designed to be hyper aware of correct form and nearly every coach I've come across prioritizes form over all else. It's just like weight lifting, the workout itself is designed to be done with good form, but if the trainer doesn't coach correct form, or the athlete doesn't prioritize it, there will be…

Well combination of both definitely sounds like the best option for me. I did a lot of strength training in high school, then stopped for about a year. I lost enough strength in that year and would like to avoid losing much more. For most of my weight loss I was set at 1lb/week. Since finding this thread a few months ago…

The swim suit I bought when I was at my heaviest is now way too big. I'm worried if I dived the bottoms would fall off! Guess I need to go shopping.

Thanks @anubis609 ! I'm trying to do a better job at tracking my workouts and paying more attention to the numbers. My workouts are just pretty random atm because I'm mostly focusing on running/flexibility with strength training 2x/week. I think the most helpful thing has been eating a small snack before workouts. I'll…

This thread has been quiet lately... maybe in need of more cat pics? All I have to add that's relevant is my diet break in January went well. I maintained throughout the 2 weeks (even while not tracking on vacation :o ) And then whooshed a couple of pounds this past week. Although I probably ate them back on my b-day (AKA…

Starting weight (May 2017) - 213 lbs Current weight - 182.6 lbs * Mini Goal 1: 185 lbs for Hawaii trip! (2nd week of Jan) Achieved * Mini Goal 2: 183 lbs by my 20th birthday (Feb 6th) Achieved * Mini Goal 3: 178 lbs (weight I was when I met my BF) by Spring break (March 27th) * Mini Goal 4: 175 lbs for my little sister's…

About 3.75 miles from my goal this month. I think February will be better :)

I ran 3.4 miles on Monday! Including a steep-ish hill that was half a mile long! I have tendonitis in my ankle and I stopped running for quite a while. After a year of just ignoring the pain I finally went to physical therapy and started running again. This past summer I started with 10 minutes of 2 rounds: walking 4…

Current weight ~ 185 lbs* Mini Goal 1: 185 lbs for Hawaii trip!

I maintained my weight while in Hawaii (didn't log) so I decided to make it part of a diet break and have been eating at maintenance since I've been back. I, too, am already struggling with staying below my maintenance calories so going back to a deficit on Monday is going to be a challenge. I agree with @HDBKLM , about…

Only drank once while in Hawaii, despite my brother constantly offering me rum! Feels like a success to me :)

1/1 - 2 minutes 1/3 - 4 minutes 1/5 - 2 minutes Total: 8/60 min Have some catching up to do

I've made it so far with no alcohol! Next week might be tricky, as I am going on vacation, but I think I'd rather be able to hike and explore comfortably and full of energy rather than feeling sick and tired from drinking.

haha that's okay, I need some honesty.

Thank you! I'll send them tonight!

I'm in! I already started my own "dry January" on the 1st, but it'd be nice to join a group!

This is so true. I have to actively work on not talking about it to my S.O. all of the time, he hasn't complained, but it must get annoying.

I finally got around to taking new progress pics today... is anyone still willing to take a look and give me a body fat % estimate? Caliper test put me at 21% this morning but that just can't be right.

1/1 - 2 minutes 1/3 - 4 minutes Total: 6/60 min

I don't know why the ticker isn't showing the two miles... it is on the website.

01/02: 2.1 miles

1/1 - 2 minutes Total: 2/60 min
