Thinking about people I love who totally stress me out

Woke up, exercised outside, I’m at the beach solo for a few days!

@glassofroses Good point, current styles don’t really do much for me, I’d do well to check the consigned places for different cuts. These dresses are so pretty. The waistline on the pink dress is super flattering. @canadjineh You look so great in that narrow classic look. I’m waiting for a few things to arrive along those…

July 1: 133 - 23.7% BF July 8: 131.7 July Goal: 129 / 22.7% Main goal: body recomp Ate a lot less processed food this week. My energy’s better and I’m less bloated. Also gave it a good final push at the gym. Next week I’m deloading while on vacation :)

@mom23mangos these are awesome. And you look fantastic in all, style goals! Looked up Ross and no online store unfortunately. That trumpet shape and showing some collarbone would be perfect. Now I can look for shapes, narrow things down.

@DomesticKat I think Rent the Runway is my next stop. I browse their stuff for inspiration but haven’t tried them yet. I think I’m still adjusting to my shape and size and it’s making me neurotic. Tried on a bunch of things again today, no success. One event I have is “formal” for a 2pm August wedding and I’m reading in…

Sounds familiar. All I can say is, it’s hard and you almost have to expect to be disheartened, but keep trying different things - great suggestions here. I’d add that it’s only going to last a few years. The kids will get older, start teaching them to make their own meals and at least fruit and veggie snacks now. My…

Following. I do ok at Ann Taylor, H&M, some Nordstrom and Norstrom Rack. I need a new brand of jeans, I was wearing the Target Levi’s for a while but they don’t make my new size which ticks me off. We have some good college town thrift stores too.

@xelsoo ASOS is a good thought. I would love a true hourglass shape. I can fake it with the right waist. I’m flat from the side but from the front my waist is kind of square. This is post-baby, I wonder if my waist will cut in again someday. So I found a Nordstrom maxi dress (on clearance!) with a deep V necklace, slim…

I have plantar fasciitis stuff right now too. I’m limited with the cardio. Been able to strength train though, are you doing that?

Ready to go today! Height 5'6” July 1: 133 / 23.7% BF July 8: July 15: July 22: July 29: July Goal: 129 / 22.7% Ultimate GW: 125 but focus on BF Weight & body fat went up in June and I’m looking forward to reversing it. I’ve had to rest an injury but no excuses, mostly I’ve been too flexible with junk food and crashing out…

Congrats on the big loss. And cheers doing this with recovery and all the challenges.
-
It’s the only thing that’s ever worked for me. That said, I do get a stressed-out feeling when I’m not doing well, like counting is a lot of pressure in an already pressured life. This can trigger stress eating, so I kind of relate.
-
This was me... loved lifting in cardio classes, but cardio was my focus, sometimes 2-3 hours a day (in fairness I was training for a sport but I went about it all wrong). Anyway I had never even heard of progressive programs til MFP. Total game changer. Do you have a program to follow yet?

I like this photo shoot idea.

Joining in if you all don’t mind! I had another check-in group, but my goal is lowering BF with body recomp. It goes so slowly, it felt kind of weird to be in a pure weight-loss group. Anyway, I’m 5’6 133lbs, I like to hang out around 130. I saw a weight gain this month and I want to reverse that back to 130 or just under,…

@mom23mangos thank you; I am just a few BF points from what bikini ready feels like. Realistically I’m happy to cover up a little this year - I’ve got some super cute beach dresses- and yup, keep working for next summer and on.

I’m dropping about a pound a month too. Nice to have the athletic goals to motivate you. What’s your sport?

I’ve been working through clinical depression since I was in middle school. Eating right and moving more are the number one things that help, but the first things to go when I feel like crap. So logging in and tracking everything keeps me consistent and I get my mindset shift here too. Tracking keeps things objective.…

Wanting to look better at my scrappiest than my dressed up friends.

I have a tight posterior joint capsule on one side and my shoulder wants to become frozen. Wall angel exercises have really helped it stay happy over time. I also get bodywork from people who know how to free up the whole shoulder girdle including the subscapularis and serratus anterior muscles.

Yikes. I have no idea how I’m doing. I’m still here though. TLDR: I’m confused and need to clarify my goals. I want a better definition of what a binge means to me. I let myself eat up to maintenance cals a lot rather than keep a calorie deficit knowing I’m just going to binge. I start my day meaning to hit a calorie goal…
-
I made some healthy changes this past year but let go of a lot of restrictions, meaning I probably eat more junk food daily than I ever have. The thing is I used to binge on it, but now I work to fit it in. I agree with the above, ^ I have trigger foods and I’m careful with those, but I’m trying to make nothing off-limits.…
-
New here too. I’ve been strength training consistently since September but idk if I can call it lifting yet. I am slowly working my way through a beginner program for the third time, managing a bunch of injuries, just staying the course and hoping to load up those barbells... some day!

No problem! Real life beats social media sometimes. Maybe I can think up some ideas while I’m zoning out at work today :)
