I actually flicked over to maintenance mode a few weeks back @brittdee88 . I also flicked the exercise routine over to what I would sustain for the rest of my life a couple of months back...... Now to see how I go!

Thank you @brittdee88 .... Certainly feeling awesome!!!

Woo Hoo!!!!!!

It could be over analysed to the nth degree..... What were the foods? Heavily laden with fibre. or heavily processed and sugar-laden? Was it just a cheat day/meal and there's a heap of extra that needs to be moved through? Lots of animal product which supposedly both turns rancid and causes inflamation before the remnants…

I tend to think there's a little bit more "science" to the actual weight that the scales show. So far today, I have eaten 1450 kcals, but those same kcals actually WEIGH 1870 grams on the scales before I put them into my body. What happens to the extra 420 grams of actual weight? Added to that, I have had 2.1 litres of…

I don't do protein powder, so this may not be of much use, but my smoothies are water and frozen banana based. Depending on the water to frozen banana ratio in your blender, you can end up with anything from an icecream consistency to almost milky. I peel and cut up my bananas and put individual serves into freezer bags…

Woo Hoo...... As of this morning, exactly ONE kilogram to go to "Normal"..... I never would have thought I'd be here less than a year ago when there were 35+ to lose!

At least is was a maintain @kdavid1987 !!!! Those nasty empty calories in alcohol can mess you up in more ways than one..... Wishing you all power ahead and a flask full of mojo for your coming week!!!

Welcome to your new address @brittdee88 ! Great plan for the month too regardless of the scales being hidden away or even if they were available. May your move go really smoothly @nevadavis1 ! I was wondering if we could include challenges which are across our group too? Like perhaps some core stuff like a one minute plank…

@kdavid1987 Thank you and woo hoo in advance for you reaching your goal too! @nevadavis1 I'm sure you aren't that far away! Yep, changing things around a tad may be required to stimulate your system out of "hold onto every last reserve" and into cut mode again.... I had to review my eating habits as I found I was leaning…

85 kg this morning on the last day of July, so there's 2.2kgs to go to get to my normal body mass index...... That makes it the 22nd August if I can do the 0.1kg a day...... Fingers are crossed, and the snacks are all absent from the house!

Well, not quite the result I typed about above, BUT 85kgs even this morning! I'll consider my weigh in tomorrow morning as the actual measure for July (as there's the whole day ahead of me still). So my official sign off weight for July will be tomorrow morning.... I'm now feeling much more confident in getting to my…

So awesome @kdavid1987 !!!! Congrats!!! Great mindset there @brittdee88!!!!! The habits, confidence and acceptance are all much better focusses!!!! Be mindful of the food (and drink) choices and portion sizes, and be wary of any "mindless" or "comfort" eating habits and success is bound to come your way!!!!

Great plan with that adjustment @brittdee88 !!! Like you, I'm adjusting my plan too as I have spent way too much time beating myself up. My weight finally shuffled quite a bit further south this morning! Not sure if it is from the fresh batteries I put in the scales yesterday afternoon, or the fact that I started tracking…

It truly sounds like there are enough "challenges" is our lives every day BEFORE we even think about weight loss or coming here to check in! Go ladies! You're so awesome!!!!

Good thought! I often forget to check the other measures, so I broke out the tape measure just before.... My neck was 47cm at the start of last year, and 42cm at the start of May. Now down to 41cm (12.8% shrink) My waist was 114.5cm at the start of last year, 107cm at the start of October last year (when I started really…

You ladies are doing awesome!!!! Proud of you both (even if it was a little due to planning that fell through @nevadavis1 !!) :open_mouth: Bit concerned for the hubby - might need to send him off with a cut lunch? My CW is virtually the same as my starting weight, so this plateau is not making me an overly happy…

You're rocking it @brittdee88 !!!!! Fabulous work!!!!

Awesome work ladies! The rubberband in my scales might need replacing as the display is bouncing around a bit with numbers are up and down every day. Seems I've having a bit of a plateau at the moment!

Awesome @brittdee88. Welcome, and awesome progress so far! Just make sure you keep it realistic and don't set yourself up for failure. Check in after your first week and see how you're tracking so you can gauge if the next 2 and a bit weeks will also be achievable.....

Go us!!!! For me: Starting today, July 7 going through July 31 SW: 86.3 kgs (189.9 lbs) TW: 83.9 kgs (184.6 lbs)

Congrats on meeting the last challenge you set yourself!!!! I'm sure you will do fine with the further shrinkage you have set yourself!!!! B)

Well, I failed this one! :( Starting Date: 13-June SW: 87.1kgs (191.6lbs) TW: 85.2kgs (187.4lbs) CW: 86.4kgs (190lbs)

Woo Hoo! Some more activity! If folk are actually going to use the group for its intended purpose, it makes sense to keep it.... Welcome all!

Hope your move goes smoothly and there are no stressful hiccoughs! Should I leave this group in existence, or you'll do your own thing when you get back into the swing of things later?

I have a problem with the idea of supplements as a food. As a vegan, I'm also getting a steady stream of advice from my omnivorous colleagues to get some meat and dairy into me and up my protein numbers. I believe I'm doing fine on my nuts, seeds, peas and beans. Interesting to note that apart from the supplements which…

Hiya Neva. Love the adoptive mummy story. I wish you well with food choices during the disruptive move cycle (but I'm sure the exercise will be fabulous as you shuffle all of your worldly goods and furkids to another address). G'day Kassey, I'm with you on the *respect*. Mine is for all of Mother Nature's creations. Great…

Starting Date: 13-June SW: 87.1kgs (191.6lbs) TW: 85.2kgs (187.4lbs)

G'day all, I'm Mike. Transitioned to full vegan (plus home grown free range eggs from time to time) at the start of the year from mainly vegetarian and whole foods. (I had been having a bit of chicken or fish once every week or so because that was 'expected' and I never questioned it!) My diet is now cruelty-free vegan and…

Yep. For sure. What's a good timeframe and some reasonable thing(s) to shoot for?
