Hello! I’m sorry I’ve kinda ghosted you guys, it’s be a meh couple months. I’m definitely solar powered and the grey blahs have been getting to me. I didn’t post my weigh in last week so am probably out anyway, but Gloria could you remove me from the competition? I have been horrible about posting my weigh in reliably and…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 3 PW: 193.8 CW: 194.2 I do not want to get up to 200lbs again, need to stop this in it’s track. Have been lax in quantity and quality of my food and schedule more time for exercise. It’s been so hard to get motivation to do anything with the winter weather, User: KakoHikes Weigh in…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 2 PW: 190.8 CW: 193.8 I’d love for my body to be a bit more consistent in weight but I am sure I can blame part of the gain on yesterday. I had fast food for lunch and my muscles got a work out. Yesterday was a walk-a-thon for the loseit challenge through Reddit/discord. I was just…

Hello! Since I missed last weeks weigh, I’m am not sure if am in the challenge for the new month since no starting weight. I weighed last Sunday and promptly forgot what it was and just had a blah week in general The only weight I have for the week was probably my highest for the week, and has now gone back to what it was…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 3 PW: 190.4 CW: 190.8 Have been doing pretty well this week, was actually at my deficit a few days, others was at maintenance. I did my strength training twice, got in a few walks and a hike. Doesn’t show it on the scale, but that will change eventually.

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 2 PW: 191.2 CW: 190.4 Posting this on my actual weigh in day, how novel :p Had a busy but relatively good week. Got to go for a hike today to start my week off right :)

Hello all! So this is super late, but am happy to be joining you all in October. I’m 35/F, living in Oregon and am now a year into creating a healthier lifestyle. I’ve lost 50lbs and feel stronger, have better mental health and have improved my lab results. My maintenance month has now turned into 5 months when I wasn’t…

User: Kakohikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 5 PW: 192.0 CW: 189.8 Alright! Going in the right direction, guessing a lb at least was waterweight. Was only in a deficit a couple days, did go on 4 walks this week. Had a fun and spend day yesterday, at farmers market and then a fall festival. I now have even more tea, lots of…

User: Kakohikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 4 PW: 189.4 CW: 192.0 Camping was pretty fun, save for not sleeping much. I somehow agreed to go two nights next time. Had fastfood 4 times in those two days and snacks galore. My stomach was not happy with me when I got home… I had healthy foods for me to eat too but each time my…

Weigh in day: Sunday Week 3 PW: 189.2 CW: 189.4 While not that bad of a gain, I weighed myself again today and was 192…. I knew I shouldn’t have checked after having a salty lunch and then making rice crispy bars and zucchini banana bread last night but did anyway. Hopefully will be close to normal next sunday I am going…

Weigh in day: Sunday Week 2 PW: 189.2 CW: 189.4 I did weigh on Sunday but posting was another story. Busy week but now I have a week off from work. Summer is having one last hurrah and will be hot temps this week. Next week will be cooler and may actually try and get walking again depending on how other things go. I'm…

Thanks @DebJB30 for that link! It’s a pretty good comparison article. I am trying out loseit for now. I’m still getting used to it, but over all am liking it so far. Initial thoughts, It doesn’t track your micronutrients(iron, vitamins ect ect) like MFP and you do have to pay for the premium version to sync your Fitbit. I…

While I want to keep MFP for this group if anything else, I’m really thinking about moving to another tracker. I hate the new layout but since I haven’t been logging much I haven’t had to see it. Putting a once free thing, the barcode scanner, behind a paywall really irks me. I get it takes money the keep the app going, so…

Hello all! I’m 34/F, living in Oregon and am now a year into creating a healthier lifestyle. I’ve lost 50lbs and feel stronger, have better mental health and have improved my lab results. My maintenance month has now turned into 4 months when I wasn’t looking, and I stopped tracking for the most part during the last two. I…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 4 PW: 187.8 CW: 188.2 Going the wrong way still. On the plus side, I actually did my strength training twice this week. Before that I hadn't touched my weights in two months. Also did my first “walk” in a while by mowing the lawn yesterday. It still been to hot out for the most…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 3 PW: 187.0 CW: 187.8

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 2 PW: 185.2 CW: 187 My plan for this month has gotten so derailed. Tracking went out the window fast along with any exercise attempt. Thankfully I got my cyst drained at the end of last week and it is now just a minor ouch now and then. Have to deal with wound care a bit more, and…

Sunday 07/31 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: No, 200 over Exercise: No

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 1 PW: 187.8 CW: 185.2 Yay, I’m happy that big gain from last week went away… Am thinking it was mostly water weight from the sodium heavy fast food.

Hello all! I’m 34/F, living in Oregon and am now a year into creating a healthier lifestyle. I’ve lost 55lbs and feel stronger, have better mental health and have improved my lab results. My maintenance month turned into three months when I wasn’t looking, with last month being a free for all. I am ready to start getting…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 3 PW: 185.8 CW: 187.8 Was away from home a lot this week and Had several days of takeout and also have more food stuck in transit than normal. Like most places this coming week it is going to be really hot, Only have two shorter social things planned and should have a lot less take…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 3 PW: 184.6 CW: 185.8 Sorry Gloria, I’m a day late. Was out of the house most of the day and spaced on posting Went to a new to me location for a Hike on Saturday. It was gorgeous! Am going on week 2 with no oven or stovetop and have at least 1 more week before our new one is…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 2 PW: 184.6 CW: 184.6 Yay for maintaining and not gaining

Hello all! I’m 34/F, living in Oregon and am now a whole year into creating a healthier lifestyle. I’ve lost 55lbs and feel stronger, have better mental health and have improved my lab results. I have my yearly dr appointment at the end of the month so you’d think I’d really be on point about logging and exercising but…

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 4 PW: 183.0 CW: 185.0 *sigh* I guess last week was a bit of a fluke after all. While I had a couple nice hikes and a few walks, also ate higher calories most days.

Monday 06/20 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: Yes (with exercise calories) Exercise: Yes, 161 minute hike After the hike I went to a pie shop relatively close by that I have been hearing about for years. The pie was quite nummy and eaten guilt free… that piece I have for tomorrow may not be so guilt free but still hopefully…

Sunday 06/19 Tracked: Yes Under Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes, 75 minute walk outside Going to try and get back into the habit of doing the daily posts

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 3 PW: 185.8 CW: 183.0 Weighed myself a few times this morning and moved the scale around a bit with same result. Kinda shocked honestly. I ate close to maintenance most days, and got 4 walks in. While I did have less salty food this week I think I mostly have the Woosh fairy to…

On the loseit discord group I'm in, someone had a great idea of making a menu for the weeks food instead of an exact meal plan. Though it might be a good way to keep on track, so made my own for the week. While not the prettiest by any means, it nice to have something in writing vs a mental plan.

User: KakoHikes Weigh in day: Sunday Week 2 PW: 184.8 CW: 185.8 I really enjoyed my time off work last week but man most of this week was hard mentally. It was probably a combo of previously being around people and having to be social more than I normally am, the hormone storm that is shark week and the rainy blah weather.…
