Im at odd often. Every time ive gone vego I end up having to have iron infusions intravenously. I have done everything I possibly can in terms of making sure gut health etc is good and still end up like that. My mum , aunts and grandmother were all the same, iron, folate and other Vit bs, Vitamin D . SO I compromise. I…

username: embersdream weigh in day: Monday Week 1: 209 week2: 206 week 3: 210 Well not doing that well in the weightloss stakes this month. It feels weird because over the last 6 weeks I have been training a lot. Not really inches difference but firmer, less cellulite etc. So Im trying to look at the positive. I feel like…

In. Bit of a slump at the moment. We head into winter here so maybe some low vitamin D levels plus loads of life stress. I did manage to do two 20 min runs this week though, better than nothing. I will do a weights session tomorrow so I reach my minim target for exercise this week. I try for 3 gym sessions each week . So…

Oh I just do 3 sets of ten for most exercises at the moment . When it gets easy I put it up
-
You are very focused!!! Nothing beats an out door walk . Are you doing this most days?

@tess5036 your list is so true! I forgot about the body building muscle repair which would equate to a few pounds. Not much but a few . I am not powerlifting it still 80 kg leg press and 20 kg sumo squats are still reasonably heavy. Definitely feeling the tone increasing in legs and shoulders . Thanks for the support
-
@Kres567 hey! Thank you! Well the scales have gone back down, not sure what I was thinking weighing on that particular day. However truth is I AM higher in lbs than I was which I think is a post Easter slump. First time living w my partner and his extended family came over and everyone gave us chocolate! Despite sharing it…

You’re right it’s really about not giving up. I think if you’re intermittent fasting then hopefully it makes up for a blow out occasionally. I did 16:8 today but reckon lowering refined carbs to nothing will help
-
Hey team. Insights anyone? I’m feeling pretty emotional. I got on the scale this morning ( and yes I am menstruating) and the scale says I’m the heaviest I’ve been in my entire life. I don’t understand how I’ve put on THAT MUCH. And increSe of ten pounds in less than a week. I’m devastated. Haven’t been feeling well . I’m…

Thanks for the encouragement. I was feeling a bit disheartened as I had put a little bit back on towards the end of the month. Hopefully will lose a bit more next month I’m aiming to lose 6 pounds next month

Friday check in . Calories : most definitely over Exercise : walking so not sedentary all day at least. Water: average , a bit under. I do think I’ve put on a bit this week but I’ll be doing a bit of fasting and heavy weights tomorrow in the gym so we shall see.
-
Well actually I feel a bit like that today after a few days of eating three whole meals a day , it’s just too much for me. Especially at dinner, I need light things. It’s Easter and I’ve just generally not been watching what I eat. Did do a weight session yesterday though and increased all my weight. Leg press at 80kg and…

Week 3 check in Username:embersdream Weigh in day : Monday Week 1 : 205 Week 2: 201.2 Weeek 3: 199.8 Not so shabby :) My goal is 172 and then see if I can do more.

Weekly weigh in Embersdream Week 4 : 202 lbs Previous week was 202.4

Thanks. Yeah I guess that’s it . All we can do is our best
-
Thank you. I guess my frustration is that I have been trying to work out what works for the last year . I have had thyroid tests. But doc won’t do reverse t3. I exercise and don’t over eat . I have tried so many things. And I exercise but not as rigorously as I once did. I’m happy for anyone to check out my food diary if I…

week 3 check in username: embersdream week 3 weight: 202.8 hardly any lost. My calories have been under every day except for one, my exercise- 5 days out of 7, ony one gym day but the rest was walking most day. Have had a tummy bug. I thought I wouldve lost way more by now.
-
Who here is keto at all? I used to do very low carb but don’t currently. Thinking of doing it again
-
I’ve had a near perfect week w food, moving etc and I’m putting off getting onto scales until weigh in day as I get obsessive. But... pretty sure weight is same . Clothes feel the same.
