Weigh in: Username: Fyreside Weigh in week: Week 5 Weigh in day: Saturday Previous Week's Weight: 242.5lbs Current Weight: 244.4lbs Well, that's dissapointing to finish up at the end of the month. Honestly, I think this has been my most frustrating month since I began. After long and careful thought, I've decided to take a…

Laptop battery finally went flat on me so here is Wed and Thurs Daily Post: (Wednesday) Goals: Get cabin locked up and back to civilization. Track: Yes. Calories:Yes Exercise:Yes. Water Intake: Still needs work Daily Post: (Thursday) Goals: just eat less. Track: Sorta. Calories:Really hope so Exercise:Yes. Water Intake:…

Daily Post: (Tuesday) Goals: Install more solar equipment and gather fallen limbs and sticks into piles around the house paddock. Track: Yes. Finding this quite a bit harder on the go without a computer or other device running all the time. Solution: Eat less and then have less to remember. Calories:Yes. Eating back more…

Daily Post: (Monday) Goals: Get back into daily tracking and posting. Track: Yes. Calories:Yes. Eating back some of my burned, but still running a large deficit. Exercise:Yes. Water Intake: Need to bring this up a tad.. Hard as it's cold enough to not want a cold drink.

Ok so, I actually disappeared to a place with no internet access. I was down at my property, got chatting with some other locals and lamented the fact that I was struggling with living so far from where I'm building. They exchanged a glance and offered me a cabin just a few minutes drive from my place. Don't get me wrong..…

Hi team, I've been neglecting the group badly. I have reasons for being absent, but not excuses really. I promise I've been thinking about you all. I have a huge amount of catchup to do, and very little internet access to do it with. So I will just get my weigh in done first. Weigh in: Username: Fyreside Weigh in week:…

Not sure about that specifically, but if your body is doing repairs of any type it will generally retain more water in case it needs it. Hi team, well I dropped the ball. For the first time in 9 months I just stopped logging. I know I'm not alone with this, but my lifestyle is just not conducive to weight loss right now.…

Another thumbs up for Outlander here. Good story, and production quality is pretty awesome too. @colinmcp Nice week there Colin, keep up the good work. @River_Goddess Yeah, see, you'd never find a redback spider on the kitchen table. Under it maybe... @KatieWW You're doing great Katie. Just got to give your body a little…

I mean sure, there are many potentially dangerous critters.. But none of them actually want to mess with people. So it's really only accidental encounters to be wary of. To limit that I simply stomp when I'm walking in the bush and look out for spiders under things and in wood piles. Ironically, you have more apex…

Daily Post: (Friday) Goals:My goal for the weekend other than rest up is not eat too much, not ruin my sleep pattern and try to find a really warm jacket that fits well. Track: Yes. Calories:Only just Exercise:No Water Intake: Yes There is a lot of travel I'd like to do. I need to do a bit more sailing first to know if…

Argh,... hahah wow, I've done it again. I sit down to make a post and there is my last post from the day before sitting there unsent. {facepalm} So umm.. here is yesterdays post lol. @AB0215 Have a great trip. @mexiconona car seat? Was your ipad trying to be clever? lol. @gemwolf110 happy birthday for yesterday.…

Hi all, quick check in from the bush if my phone signal holds out. Hope everyone is going well. I'm logging and burning calories. And about to do my impression of running because it just started sleeting and I'm wearing a hoodie lol.

@BMovieQueen Hey congrats on a great loss last week. @ssssanaaaa I totally get the disconnect thing.. The healthier and fitter I get, the better I feel. I walk with a spring in my step and feel good about myself.. Then occasional reflective surfaces just slap me with a brutal reality check. Awww.. I still look like that…

Well, I finally made it back to town, and it seems like not too late so I weighed in and it was much better than I thought. Daily Post: (Saturday) Goals:Having a struggle but hoping to see light at the end of the tunnel soon. Track: Yes. Calories:Yes. Exercise:Yes. Water Intake: Kinda sorta... Weigh in: Username: Fyreside…

Srry for the late post. I'm just hoping this actually works. I've been unable to weigh, so I'm going off my last weigh on friday which was 243.8 and sadly a bigish gain.. Huge congrats @River_Goddess what a fantastic achievement, something to be really proud of.

Daily Post: (Friday) Goals:Yes. Track: Yes. Calories:Yes. Exercise:Yes. Water Intake: Yes.

Daily Post: (Thursday) Goals:Another Antarctic front pushed through today. Boy the wind chill factor on those gusts went straight through my clothes. I'm so close to dropping the ball right now, not even sure why. After weigh in last week I bounced back about 2lb and haven't moved since. Amazing how close to the edge I am…

@JJKM02 Wow, that is some great news. Big congrats to your son. Daily Post: (Wednesday) Goals:Really wasn't feeling it today. But got on with things and achieved a little. My goal for tomorrow is finish the kitchen stuff so I can get this camper off my ute and move on to other things. Track: Yes Calories:Yes Exercise:Yes.…

Daily Post: (Tuesday) Goals:Good solid day in the workshop today. Finished the new tailgate/stepladder for my camper and just have one last thing on the camper to do list. Some basic cabinetry in the kitchen. So that's my goal for tomorrow, start, and maybe even finish the kitchen upgrades. Nothing super fancy, just some…

You know, I had that very same thought just yesterday. I too used to live with more than just occasional monster headaches and nowdays if I have one at all, I run my super simple checklist.. Hydration and electrolytes. No more heavy pain killers and darkened rooms. Makes me wonder what I used to be doing to my body before…

@mexiconona Sorry, I remember asking what MFP was once too lol. But yeah if you can open this site in your web browser, you will find it quite a bit more user friendly. @River_Goddess Definitely a good thing to change up the diet from time to time. If you haven't looked into it, I thought I would mention gluconeogenesis,…

Woke up this morning with a doozy of a headache.. Checked my diary and yep.. I've been so focused on eating less and hydrating well, I forgot to supplement my electrolytes. Sitting here now crunching on some rock salt lol. Never thought I'd cure a headache with salt. I even had other clues like crampy legs at bedtime.…

Daily Post: (Sunday) Goals: I think this is the third week in a row where I have failed to actually take my Sunday rest day. Fair enough I have a lot to get done, but I really do believe in the value of a day off for muscles to repair and to generally recouperate. Todays goal has become to pick a day this week to chill and…

Daily Post: (Saturday) Goals: Todays goal is just stay the course and get a good weigh in. Managed to keep busy with a run to the tip and chipping away at the camper list. I've finished the new sleeping arrangements and am working on new steps for the door at the back. Track: Yes Calories:Yes Exercise:Yes Water Intake: Yes…

Stay strong! You've got this. :)

I'm a bit excited about something, and it's inspired a bit of a fitness ramble. Todays ramble is about stretching. As many of you will know, I hit a plateau in April and decided to take the opportunity to do a maintainance month and focus my energy on developing some muscle bulk and tone, rather than the pure weight loss…

I used to estimate a lot, but when I got scales I found out I was pretty bad at it lol. I still do a little bit here and there, but I've actually come to really like weighing and knowing. Strangely enough doing things by the numbers seems to be easier than having to make good decisions all the time. Whatever you do, don't…

@JJKM02 Awesome loss, way to go! Daily Post: (Friday) Goals: Another big day, almost finished my camper renovations/upgrades. It hit -4c {bit under 25f} at my property the other night, so I'm really looking forward to getting the camper setup down there. I'm stepping things up from sleeping bag to duck down quilt. (Note: I…

@jennfalzon1979 Hey congrats!! Hard work really paying off for you there. @tinak33 Glad you were able to consolidate that. Being unwell is a tough way to lose, but at least you made it work. Daily Post: (Thursday) Goals: There was only one goal today.. Do it right. Burn lots, eat little and no #%^&! snacks. Ticked a few…

G'day folks, I'm Bryce from East coast Australia. I'm a returning Slimsons member and about half way on my journey from over 300lb to Onederland. (190-something) I disappear off to the bush to work on an off grid cabin project for days at a time and can't post, but when I'm in town I'm pretty chatty lol. My plan is low…
