leanneosullivan4432 CW 161 PW 159 Booking in with a nutritionist for some extra support. I think I fall down in the evenings and could cut out an extra 200cals. After I get my son and husband to bed I make myself tea and toast or a smoothie and watch some TV. It is an extra, after my meals and it's usually around 10pm. If…

@frankwbrown 😂 maybe! Am thinking of going to a dietician to get some help

Anyone in perimenopause feel like they are losing and gaining the same four or five pounds??? Am so upset and frustrated tonight, I eat so clean, I workout. I eat a lot of veg to help with cravings. Feel like .... Ugh, like giving up.

leanneosullivan4432 PW 159 CW 159 A bit disappointed, but motivated to work consistently at my calories for the next week

Steps goal 12000 17th April 5761 Unusual day for me not to be moving more. Was so tired from the hospital yesterday and snuggled up with my hubby for a few hours while my son played. A lot of people on here seem to be sick - I hope you all feel better soon. My husband is still very unwell. I am on the fourth day in a row…

@sunshinezombiegirl1 well done!

Steps goal 12000 16th April 13220 Day at hospital with husband, 20 mins yoga was all I could do

Im finding this group so motivating! Today I think I finally hit on a 'formula' to manage my calories and came in about 200cals under (don't worry, my programme is set to 2020 calories!). I'm going to try to replicate that tomorrow and follow a similar meal plan. Ate loads of veg, protein and also had some comforting tea…

Steps goal 12000 15th April 21,818 Got my walk in. My husband is recovering from a serious infection in his brain and I care for him. Normally if I go out I need to hire a care assistant, but today was the first day I didn't have to get someone to sit with him. Was so happy! Got my hill walking back and peace of mind…

@PatriceFitnessPal a trainer sounds like a great idea! I was thinking about joining the gym. But i think the problem for me is that...I need movement to be about more than physical fitness, I need it to feed me spiritually and connect me to the world in a more substantial way, the way my walking and yoga do. But maybe…

Steps goal 12000 14 April 10114 Slow day and I have no idea why, but got a short workout in and some yoga. I took up weight lifting three years ago as a perimenopausal woman and I'm so bored of it lately. I have decided to change it up and do bodyweight workouts, by beloved vinyasa yoga and my walking/hillwalking. I…

Steps goal 12,000 7th April 15589 8th April 13097 11th April 19502 Sorry missed those earlier in the week! Sick all week and not working out at all but at least my steps are ok

leanneosulliva4432 PW 161.5 CW 159 still sick but going to take the credit for this nonetheless ☺️

Steps goal 12000 9th April 14281 10th April 15247 I have a stomach bug so no workouts, can manage about 1000 calories just dry toast, tea, banana etc.... and still have to chase my four year old and do all t house work. The joys of solo parenting ☺️ I feel like crap but I know I lost weight. Oh well…it feels like I cheated…

@morenin I know how you feel, but it will all balance out! Hope you start to feel better 💞

Steps goal 12000 6th April 18107 Two things happened today - 1) I had a sweet treat which I very rarely do. I knew I was doing better with my calories so had some chocolate covered raisins, while my husband and son had ice cream. Whenever they get a treat like that I get sparkling water or a coffee! But I went or it. I…

Steps goal : 12000 5th April: 17718 Thank you everyone for your input re calories in and calories out! Think I will try not to eat back all my calories, but so far have not linked my watch with MFP, and just trying to eat my allocation. Didn't actually meet my allocation today for th first time , also didnt do a hard…

Just wondering how many of you eat back your active calories? I try not to but tonight I am just ravenous after burning about 900 calories via steps, running, weight training, and playing with my son. I just ate a plate of vegan Bolognese as an extra dinner and feel better, but wonder if if I should try not to eat back my…

leanneosulliva4432 PW 163.5 CW 161.5 First week and I feel I cheated a bit as I came off my hrt so lost a bit a fluid, but also feel I am getting control of my portions.

Hi everyone Imy first weigh day tomorrow and I just have a feeling I haven't lost anything. I weighed a couple of days ago and I was down two pounds, but I've been lifting heavier the last couple of days and definitely retaining a little fluid. I just have a feeling I'll be letting the team down. Have gotten my calorie…

Love all the amazing photos! Goal 12,000 3/April 15211

@frankwbrown thanks! Steps are not a problem with a four year old 🙄

Daily step goal. 12000 2/April. 22100 Got a good 6mile walk in, lower body weight, and running around after my son 🥰 also stuck pretty well to my calorie goal I think. Checked the scales and off the progesterone the weight is also coming off. Very pleased 😀

Steps today 9234 In the car a lot, but over the moon that I am losing some of the progesterone bloating and down some weight. Feeling so much better and hopefully I will get on top of this. Still eating slightly over my calories but getting it down too. I do lift heavier weights, as advised, and do vinyasa yoga, as well as…

@CasandraW thank you hon! I am on the micronised one, and it just feels awful. My peri symptoms are mostly anxiety but the progesterone Def wasn't helping. Will try for a couple of months without it and see...but you just can't win can you ☺️ going to lift my heavy weights and try to get a handle on my calories

leanneosullivan4432 Step goal 12000 31/3 15966 Feeling so bloated after the progesterone phase of my hrt and it wasn't getting any better so told my doc today that I am coming off it to see if it helps, as my weight is the highest it's ever been! Had a Good day and stuck to my plan 🥰

leanneosullivan4424 Daily step goal 12000 30/3 19725 Could I please be added to the steps challenge please?
