Luciicul Week 5, Monday PW: 192 CW: 189.4 Met this month's green goal with a little to spare, which is great. I wasn't so good at meeting my other goals, I've been trying for months to get into a good routine with walking, strength training, and mindfulness, but I am a bit haphazard about it all. Eating right is the bit I…

I’m kind of failing this week’s challenge - haven’t done any mindfulness or strength training, and only one long walk. But, on the upside, today my weight makes my BMI 29.86, which means I am no longer in the “obese” category, I’m in the “overweight” category. That’s a milestone reached 🤗.

My goals for this week (starting today): 1. Strength training x2 this week 2. Mindfulness x 5 mins per day 3. Long walks x 4 this week

Luciicul Week 4 weigh in PW: 198.2 CW: 192 This is two weeks and 1 day between weigh ins, am very happy as I was worried I might gain weight while away (disruption of normal routine, no ability to weigh each day as I usually do, fitting my eating around others, including eating out & a birthday celebration) - but managed…

If the goal is weight loss... I read about a weight loss study they did, where they monitored what people were eating and asked half the group to exercise and the other half not. They found that a lot of the weight loss benefits of exercise were wiped out because when people exercised, they felt hungrier, and ate more than…

@lindamtuck2018 I won’t be able to weigh in on Monday as I’m away visiting family and have no access to scales. The following Monday (22nd) will be soonest I can weigh-in. Do you just carry over the last weight until then? I have renewed empathy and respect for people who travel a lot. I am so used to my daily weigh in and…

Luciicul Week 2, Monday PW: 198.6 lbs CW: 198.2 lbs Yesterday morning I was right on track for my target 1kg /2.2.lbs weekly loss goal, but it was my daughter's birthday and I decided to loosen the reins a little, have some birthday cake, etc, so today my scales are up. On the plus side, I think some of it is water weight…

Lol, another Aussie here, I think your are right Danp that it must be a time zone thing as we are seriously over represented on this thread! I’m already in two challenges to help keep me on track - recommend this one…

I’m in a couple bookclubs (ones that DO involve reading books), I am involved in activism, and yeah, also probably watch too much tv! (At the moment watching Big Little Lies, The Handmaid’s tale, The 100, Legion, Big Trouble, Samantha Bee, and rewatching Friends with my teenage daughter who due to her age had never watched…

@lindamtuck2018 I’m not sure how hot is “hot” to you, every region is different (not just in degrees but humidity, wind factor, etc). For me there is hot but bearable - yes I will sweat a lot and need to drink like a fish, wear a hat, sunscreen, sun glasses, maybe supplement salt to counter dehydration, choose a route with…

Give your body time to heal, the main thing is to watch what you eat as it will take a while till you are on your feet again (ask your doctor for guidance on this) and diet makes the biggest difference to your health and you might not be able to tolerate fats well for a while. I had keyhole surgery 20 years ago, and I…

Thanks Tammie! It's a bit of a slog, but just got to keep at it. I'm more worried about how to achieve "maintenance" once I've lost the weight, as I have lost and gained a number of times over the years, so while I have worked out what works for me to "lose" weight when I have the time & energy to focus on it, but I find…

Sounds like you are doing well with eating and exericise, and I'd recommend working on sleep and meal times to get a result you're happier with. In my experience, quality of sleep and timing of meals makes a significant difference. I've shifted to eating my meals about 2 hours earlier than I used to, but when I get busy…

luciicul Week 1 Monday PW: 200.8 lb CW: 198.6 lbs Green Challenge: I would like to lose 11 lbs (5kg) in the July Challenge, which works out as 2.2 lbs (1kg) per week on average.

Hi, July is my sixth month on the challenge, I'm Australian, mum to a 13 yr old. I eat low-carb, moderate protein, moderate healthy fats, avoid processed and refined foods, and I do intermittent fasting. I have insulin resistance and am on Metformin, and a sluggish thyroid (no meds for thyroid, only supplements, so far).…

@boehle I had a look at the spreadsheet and I think someone has made a mistake with the 3 best losses for June (grand finale) for shrinking assets. Can someone double check?

Luciciul Week 4 Monday PW: 204.2 CW: 200.8 So close to being under 200 lbs! Next month's goal.

There's so many things that can explain weight variations like this - all completely speculative! Firstly, while we track "weight loss", because it is an easy measure to track, what we really aim for is fat loss, which is harder to measure. Weight is a mix of fat, muscle, bone, water, contents of your digestive tract, etc…

Sorry that should say Week 2 (My results in week 1 were so dismal I guess I am mentally blanking then out!) Having trouble editing the previous post - access via the phone app is clunky!

Luciicul Week 1 Monday PW: 210.8 lbs CW: 205.8 lbs

Whoever gave me a woo for sharing my success, would you care to explain why? Up until now I've only seen supportive responses in this group, and I would suggest those who want to be catty go elsewhere rather than ruin it for everyone else.

I just had a big overnight whoosh - hoping it will keep till my weigh in day - scale weight now signifies halfway to my end goal! I've lost 26.8 kgs (59lbs), which is 22.4% of body weight, BMI has shifted from 41.8 to 32.5. I'm still obese, but well on my way to getting back to a healthy weight. B)
