Daily posting for these couple of days to bring the weight back down from my decadent food trip. SEPTEMBER WEIGH-IN* Sep 1 - 86.75 KG / 191.25 LB * Sep 5 - 86.40 KG / 190.48 LB * Sep 11 - 86.45 KG / 190.59 LB * Sep 13 - 85.55KG / 188.61 LB * Sep 18 - 88.2KG / 194.45 LB (put on 2.7KG over a 5 day trip!) * Sep 19 - 86.4KG /…

@dannytrees1, got myself a Samsung watch 7, which somehow gives a rough gauge to your body fat. I kinda bought it just for that purpose on a whim when I was travelling and saw it in the mall.

Gonna record daily for next few days for accountability. Need to recover from the binging. I don't usually don't record extreme fluctuations as it can be due to water weight and simply not having enough mass of food or too much food at any given point in time. I only record what I weigh at a specific time in the morning,…

Well... I am back from my 5 day vacay. Happy that most of the photos turned out well as I have shaved quite a bit over the last 3 months. Photos look vastly different from the last vacy in June and I am delighted. BUT.... let me give you a run down of the food journey that I have been on so you have a rough idea: Day 1 -…

Ok, day 75 of 100. Mini goal target hit. I am off on a vacation for next 5 days. Wish me luck. WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY & August* Start 1st July - 98.6KG / 217LB * End 31st Aug - 86.5KG / 191LB * Total 2 months loss = 12.1KG / 26LB * Body fat dropped from 32.7% to 23.2% SEPTEMBER WEIGH-IN* Sep 1 - 86.75 KG / 191.25 LB * Sep 5…

@HappyDonkey75, I am sorry for your loss. With regards to parents, accord them the understanding that they accorded you when you were a child to them. I don't have a paid nutrition coach, but I know a nutritionist who I sponge free advice from. After every discussion we have on nutrition, the parting shot is always down to…

I haven't been actively trying hard. Just keeping up with a slightly lighter routine but feeling tired anyway. The thing is, my weight has stagnated for about 10 days now. Since the beginning of the month till now, I have not moved the needle. I did want to slow down but didn't think it was going to stop. Well, I just…

Hey, I thought I was alone in using Excel to build graphs and watch numbers! This is fun and I don't know another person who does that, until your first post! Welcome to this board. Your progress is good and target quite ambitious. My advice will be that you keep at it, regardless of whether you are going to hit the goal…

Random observation on when people start to notice your weight loss and actually open their mouth to say something. For people who see you infrequently, like 2-3 times a year: 10% weight loss For colleagues, people you work with and see weekly: 11-14% weight loss For extended family who sees you every week: 15-19% weight…

A handful of new joiners and I believe this is the key to making this group work. The more support we rally here and the more people we feel we are accountable to, the better this is going to work. I haven't made the best progress for the first couple of days of September but I did expect this as I was going to slow down…

My Sept goals (slightly recalibrated): Drop from 86.75KG/191LB to 83.20KG/183LB Drop from 23.2% body fat to 19.4% body fat. Part of a 100-day program which started on 1st July. WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY & August* Start 1st July - 98.6KG / 217LB * End 31st Aug - 86.5KG / 191LB * Total 2 months loss = 12.1KG / 26LB * Body fat…

I've thought about it. My Sept goals shall be: Drop from 86.5KG/191LB to 82.3KG/181LB Drop from 23.2% body fat to 19.4% body fat. That's dropping 4.2KG / 9.3LB of weight. I am accounting for a bit of drop in muscle mass if I am being aggressive in calorie cutting. This means I need to create a 32,340 calorie deficit, over…

Original end-August goal reached. Stretch target reached. Just shy of Ultra stretch target. But really it's time for me to slow down the weight loss. I know what to do to lose weight but I don't know what to do to tighten the loose skin. WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY* Start 1st July - 98.6KG / 217LB * End 31st July - 91.5KG /…
-
So I reached my original end August goal. And probably the stretch goal. But I feel that if I want to get to 86.1KG by this weekend is going to be next to impossible and I may not want to cut calories so aggressively to try. I'm going to settle. WHAT HAPPENED IN JULY* Start 1st July - 98.6KG / 217LB * End 31st July -…

I might have been too aggressive in my weight loss and am thinking of slowing it down just a little. I wanted to hit 183lbs by end Sept, which means I am 10 lbs away from last weigh in. Why I was thinking of slowing down? Because the skin is loose and it's not contracting fast enough. Sure I may look better in clothes but…

@ManifestingToday, thanks for accepting alternate view points. I agree that weight is the easiest metric to track and that should be the one single metric that helps keep us on track on a day to day basis. So that's what we are all doing here and I appreciate you holding this thread together. If we use body fat percentage,…

@HappyDonkey75 hang in there. It's not easy having to deal with an unwell family member. Incidentally, my dad just went for a 12 hour op 2 days ago. I am feeling guilty going to the gym while he's recovering but I am sure there's no correlation between me spending time on myself and him recovering well.

First half of August was slow in terms of loss. I had a trip which I have been using as an excuse for a few posts now. I lose 4 lbs in 19 days and then suddenly lost another 4 lbs in 4 days. I can't credit it to much else except that I am doing cardio on the elliptical machine for a bit longer but it shouldn't be able to…
-
Just to be clear, when I say vanity, I was referring to the body fat %, not the weight. I agree that weight is the most accessible form of tracking which is fairly accurate as long as it's always on the same scale. And even on a different scale, it's seldom differs too much.
-
I notice that everything in this thread is about weight. There's little to no mention of Body Fat %. Is that something for the vanity folks? I actually think that's a healthier metric to track than just body weight. To be clear, I am tracking body weight but I have a higher degree of interest in my Body Fat %. Just that…

Made it through a 3 day trip and thankfully didn't derail but diet was higher on carbs and was tired most days from commuting and walking without a car. Still made it to the gym over 2 days and thanking myself for sticking to it even if it was tough. Hoping to shed the 0.7KG to get it down to target weight on 19 Aug (Day…

5 months ago, my son was in the same decisioning process. He wanted a school that was 1.5 hours away by public transport. He was dead set on it until I made him take public transport to the school while I drove there to meet him. Before he stepped out of the house, he decided to pick another school 30 mins away.

@kellyswimmer, really get her to think about the 4 hours she'll have to spend daily. Some people make 6 figure income a year working 8 hours a day. Time is money.

Both of us are trying to lose 42 pounds. It's ambitious but even if I miss it, I am going to let myself off if my Dexa scan at end Oct shows 18% BF. I am 6' tall. Ideally, my UGW composition should look like this: Weight : 79.5KG / 175LB Fat loss: -19.1KG / 42LB Muscle loss: 0 Total weight loss: 19.1KG / 42LB Body Fat % :…

Start 1st July - 98.6KG / 217LB End 31st July - 91.5KG / 201LB End 30th Aug GOAL - 87.7KG / 192LB UGW 175LB @dannytrees1, our goals are VERY similar and weight loss goals are close to identical with my start weight 5LB more than yours and UGW 5 pounds more too. Stalking/Shadow mode on! What sort of time frame are you…

Last weigh-in before my trip. Not looking forward to 3 days of activities which are pretty much out of my normal range of control.

Hit my Day 40 of 100 days goal 2 days early so I am happy about my goals and estimations being realistic and achievable. Wasn't easy. Travel planned next week so the Day 50 of 100 days goal might be challenging. Start 1st July - 98.6KG / 217LB End 31st July - 91.5KG / 201LB Month 1 loss = 7.1KG / 16LB August Start Aug 1 -…
