137.6. Happyscale says I’m losing 1/5th of a pound a week on average. If I can increase that to a quarter of a pound a week I will be happy. Slow but sustainable. I’ll be at goal weight by June 2025. Totally fine.

138.

137. Happyscale is showing a tiny deficit. It hasn’t been too taxing so far.

138.4. Good to see people making progress. I suspect I am in maintenance. Likely will need to adjust next month, but let’s see.

141.4. Had very salty Rahman yesterday evening so predictable jump up.

138.2. I had some lipid tests and my cholesterol is high. I’m pissed off about that as there will be pressure to go on statins from my GP practice nurse. But we will see. The NHS tends to give blanket advice. I think my overall risk of cardiovascular disease would be low. As I’ve never smoked, I exceed the exercise…

138 today. @Emkaygirl1 the training programmes I use are paid ones at barbellmedicine.com. They do have a free programme for folks new to Resistance training. Called the beginners prescription. If you type that into their website it’ll come up. I’m assuming you would be new to lifting. Otherwise, you could try Mike…

@Emkaygirl1 i lift weights in the gym. I’m doing a 4 day an week upper/lower programme. I can give you links to the website I use if you are interested. Then I do a couple of aerobics classes. Outside gym I’m pretty sedentary. I do like the gym; it’s a big part of my social life. I work from home and am pretty introvert…

@ManifestingToday I’ll post a bit more at the end of the month. I need to give it a few weeks because I’m perimenopausal and my cycle is every 2 weeks at the moment so I have a lot of hormonal water weight changes which will mask fat loss. If I am in a deficit it’s probably gonna result in a half pound a week overall.…

139. Still too early to say if I’m in a deficit. Will give it till the end of the month. (I’m not counting calories, relying on hunger cues instead . A different approach for me.)

140 today for me. Still bloated from TOM. Not expecting much of a drop for a week or so.

139.4 today. Some period water weight is coming off.

140.6 today. Salty meal last night and period started.

I’ve been in maintenance for 10 years or so. I have periods of tracking but only loosely and I don’t weigh food. I do keep an eye on protein. It doesn’t seem to make much difference if I track or not. My weight stays within a five pound range.

Didn’t weigh today as I am away for the weekend. Happy with my food choices so far. Lots of walking. I’ll weigh tomorrow.

Hi I would like to join this thread. I’m trying a new approach of not tracking my food and just eating whole food to 70 per cent fullness. Trying to limit ultra processed food. Im reluctant to set a number goal as I only want to lose 10 pounds and as I am not tracking calories and only have a bit to lose, it might take a…

There’s a podcast called mindful shape which I’ve found helpful. An episode called “natural v concentrated pleasures” was good.

I use pen and paper. I’ve used stacked app before. I’m just an old skool gal though.

I’m guessing your dislike may be because of pain or discomfort maybe because of the extra weight. All I can say is it will get easier and hopefully less horrible. Just do some walking. Whatever you can tolerate is better than nothing. Even a short walk after meals. Say 5 or 10 minutes, will help your blood sugar control.

I just go to bed. Simple. I don’t have a problem getting to sleep hungry though.

Go to bed. Stop stressing over minor details. Unless you are a professional body builder the day of your show. But I’m guessing you likely aren’t.

I’m UK based and use my protein natural vanilla whey. It’s cheap. A bit artificial tasting on its own but ok mixed into yoghurt or into a smoothie with lots of frozen fruit
