I'm in! Got sick in December, never got to finish the 2022, but I should be back on my feet next week.

I am also a woman and my only goal with strength training is not to lose too much muscle while I lose weight. I deadlift aforementioned 145 pounds from the ground and about 52 pounds overhead. I've been at it for 5 months and believe me when I say I see 0 results appearance wise, if you're worried you might accidentally…

In the beginning probably! I've always found that I increase very rapidly for the first few weeks when I restart weight training. Here's my deadlift progression since August: I went from 10 kg to 45 kg in about 2 weeks, then I got to 66 kg by the beginning of November and now I've absolutely plateaued for the last month…

Ready!

Made a discovery: I have lost my bike's worth of weight since I bought my bike. This means now when I carry it up to third floor after each ride it's only as much effort as it used to be to just walk up the same stairs a few months ago. Another bicycle and a bit to go!

Hi Mitch! Happy to be a check in buddy. I've got a 150 day login streak going and at my most optimistic estimate, I've got until end of June to go before I hit maintenance, so I plan to stick around. If you feel like December is not the "best time to do this" it might just be good to keep a login streak going and log your…

@wendsg thanks for the detailed post! They do look like SPD pedals, I guess I can ask the gym staff - anyway looks like the cleats are not the expensive part and they're replaceable. The shoes are so expensive though! I currently cycle in £10 running shoes because my good running shoes are too wide for pedals. In other…

I'm 4 pounds down since I posted that 5 days ago - did not change anything about my routine. And yes, I can confirm it feels great.

This week went well! YTD: 1912 KM / 1188 miles 2022 KM challenge: 95% done 2022 mile challenge: 59% done

Mine's a bit different: log 10 no-spend-days in November. If I'm running late in the morning, or I didn't pre-plan my meals, I tend to just buy lunch. Or maybe I get a coffee mid day even though there's a perfectly good AeroPress in my office. Or maybe I buy a ready dinner because I'm oh-so-tired. Or maybe I pop into a…

I am sort of excited about my plateau actually. I KNOW I'm eating at a deficit (albeit a smaller one than in the first 3 months of weight loss), but the scale hasn't budged in 4 weeks now. But I am also so sore from lifting, I can just barely take a shirt off. I'm anticipating that water shed moment. It'll be great.

My favourite gym is my university gym because it's 1/3 of the price of any other options + it's 4 minute walk from my office and they have very decent equipment, so considering it's all I can afford, I'm very lucky.

October Start Weight: 90.8 October Goal Weight: 88.8 Ultimate Goal Weight: 65 October 1: 90.8 October 8: 90.2 October 15: 89.2 October 23: 89.4 October 31: 89.7 - I don't love this, but a loss is a loss. Happy with myself anyway.

Lost 17 pounds in the last round, but the scale hasn't budged for 4 weeks now. I'm eating at a deficit and I'm still sore from lifting last week, so it's gotta move soon, right?
