  • Exercise - Yes. More walking than I planned (around 4 miles) but didn’t make it to the gym, so I’ll have to do my weight lifting workout tomorrow. Calories - yes way under (had a bad day and no appetite) Tracked - yes.

  • The last few lbs are so hard! It seems to come off much more slowly because you have less too lose. Maintenance is also hard because you don't have a fixed goal anymore and there isn't that gratification of seeing the number on the scale go down. I was the same when losing the last few pounds, in my head I couldn't wait to…
  • Wow, that's such a difference with a 20lb loss! You look amazing.
  • Exercise - Yes. Did an hour of weight training at the gym, walked to and from the gym (about 20 minutes each way) and spent a few hours on my feet at my little brothers birthday party. Pretty good day. Calories - Yes! Close call because I’m a sucker for party food, but fortunately I’m trying to gain a bit at the moment, so…

  • June 2nd Exercised? Yes, but not as much as I would have liked. Calories? Yes, ended up under Tracked? Yes!
  • I will try to video myself tomorrow. I meant to today, but forgot. I managed five minutes of wall drills, slowly getting used to being upside-down. @TiisTitanium thank you for the wrist warm ups! For some reason I'm finding handstands harder on my wrists than crow/crane pose. I'm definitely going to try kicking up…

  • I aspire to be able to eat intuitively. As of right now, it doesn't work for me because I don't recognise hunger very well and never have done because that's one of the quirks of my autism. So I tend to either not eat enough and be really grumpy without realising why or assume from cues like being really grumpy that I must…
  • Agreed that you should try setting your activity level to lightly active if you're getting 10000 steps in even on rest days. I would also say try going for 1/2lbs a week loss. I'm 5'5" and had 12lbs to lose, also have a history of eating disorders and over exercise, so went for 1/2lbs a week to avoid the risk of seriously…
  • 24 and currently working on fitness and recomp, happy to be added!
  • I second the suggestion about pre-logging food. Planning what I'm going to eat in the morning really helps me stay on track. That way if there is something I really fancy - my current weakness is stone-baked Mediterranean vegetable pizza, a few weeks ago it was salted caramel ice cream - I can just plan the rest of my…
  • June 1 Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes! 10000 steps, plus 100 squats and 4 minutes of planks Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes! Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes! Trying to maintain but increase strength and workout more.

  • Thanks so much for the links. I have done two minutes of wall drills today (going to try for five tomorrow). I'm definitely going to try taking photos and videos.

  • It has been sunny for the last couple of weeks and for the first time in years I've felt comfortable in short sleeves.
  • Count me in. I used to be good at handstands, but got out of practice and now have to get over the fear.
  • I'm not too bad around ovulation, but I'm awful for a few days before and the first couple of days of Aunt Flo. I tend to let myself eat a little more around those days and cut back a little more towards the beginning of my cycle when I'm less hungry. The other thing that has really helped is increasing protein. I started…
