Can I do the spreadsheet? That would be so helpful and motivating!

I have done keto and loved it. I've been "off" for a few months and this week am getting back into it.

Oh my gosh. I am the SAME weight and I have 10 more to go also! Had a baby in 2017 (gained a smooth 50lbs...and still fighting to come back from it!). I am 5'3.5". Whats your routine with nutrition and fitness?

Feel free to add me. My scale is not moving either. I know it's my nutrition but having a hard time eating at a deficit with working out, etc. I HATE being hungry! I need support and motivation!

Request sent! I've been lifting now for 5 months and love it.

Thursdays are my nights to have a few drinks. I usually take 3 out to my barn with me and brush/ride my horses. It's relaxing and I enjoy it. Last night, between 5pm - 10pm I had 6. Two with my horses, and 4 with my husband. Not feeling too bad today, since I didn't buy vodka when I bought the white claws. Usually I'll…

Hello everyone! I am so excited to start May with all of you. My goal is to drink at a MAX Thur/Fri/Sat nights and eventually get to only Fri/Sat. Right now, I've been drinking Thur/Fri/Sat/Sun. Getting rid of my Sunday drinking is going to be hard. But I can do it! I did manage to stay AF this last Sunday and it felt…

Oh and I have a question for everyone. Has cutting alcohol helped lose weight? I've cut it out for a couple weeks here and there and never lose any weight.

Was AF yesterday as well as today. But....see this is what my mind got on earlier (and hasn't stopped)... ..."Since I didn't drink Sunday and Monday, I could have a couple drinks tonight as a reward." Really? I almost stopped at the liquor store on the way home, but I continued to tell myself how "unpresent" I would be…

Ok, so I've been dying to be able to post this! I DID.NOT.HAVE.ALCOHOL.YESTERDAY. Normally I drink on Sunday to counterbalance the hangover I have from Saturday. But I remembered this thread and all of you. Someone said it does get easier as time goes. Maybe not easier in the moment, but eventually. So I was able to stay…

I'm here. But I want a fresh month to start logging each day. I like your template. It really keeps you accountable, being able to see the whole month! I had 4 drinks last night. I'm really trying to go all week without drinks, but Thursday is hard. I used to have golf league on Thursday nights, that included drinks. Now…

You guys are inspiring me! I have been "lurking" for a little bit, and I too have trouble staying away from drinks most days of the week :( It's just "fun"....until the next morning. It hurts my ability to function normally and takes away from being 100% present for my kids, daily responsibilities, work, and also my…

Recently, since this started, I have reverted back a couple pounds. I was eating frantically in hopes that I could regain some energy. Now it's stabling off (I'm trying to find a good balance again) but for the most part, no I have not dropped any weight. That is why this is weird. I do a lot but then some weeks I don't.…

For the last month, I've only been doing these workouts on TUES/THU. Do you think even just putting those closer together could be the problem? What if I did Tues/Sat? I'm trying to keep better hydrated. Its helping.

You are so right! These ARE my workouts! I know they are there to help push people, and a lot of the time it's a good thing. I don't think they deal much with people actually loosing all their steam and not being able to. I also hate being the one in class that can never do anything. there are people twice my age in these…

Yeah. I also really do enjoy the classes. But after reading some of the responses, I actually just called the manager and told him what was going on. Of course, he wants to make sure I'm doing everything right on my end and seeing where I'm having trouble in the workouts before making a conclusion. But yes, when there is…

I don't just pay for the trainer. It's the gym membership that includes the trainer classes. I pay more for that and yes, that's why I'm still doing them. That and this just really started being an issue, so I'm trying to see if I can work past it before calling it quits. I'm not sure I can get out of that level membership…

Over all, yes. Thank you for asking! I have been focusing on nutrition and hydration. Especially before/after my workouts. I went to 2 classes this week and with both, I started to feel light headed/dizzy, etc. I know it was because we don't get much rest and just keep going. So I need to figure out what to do about that…

Woozy during lifting. It's like, it takes everything out of me the way we are doing it in class.

Thank you for the tip. I think I do aim more at protein! One night I woke up feeling very chilled, achy, headache, dizzy...etc. Without realizing I needed sugar, I drank half a regular mountain dew and felt much better. I"m just so programmed to not eat or drink that kind of carb/sugar. It's crazy. All I want to do is lose…

I took last week off from working out. I've started eating/drinking better and taking vitamins. I feel so much better! Last night I went to the gym (was nervous about it taking me back) and started feeling woozy about 20 mins in to my workout. I paced myself, took several mini-breaks and drank water. I was able to get…

I meant "supersets"....haha. I think you are correct. We do not get a whole lot of rest as we do back to back exercises. Then we get a rest when we are being shown the next set of exercises. We do NOT do a routine. It is different each time I go. It is similar exercises but the whole workout will be mixed up. Now I"m…

No other stess, no. Last week was my worse week yet, and it was the week leading up to my "time of the month". Could be part of it!

He asks if I have been drinking enough water and getting enough protein. I don't get as much as he says I should. Last time, he told me to start taking amino acids. I am going tonight and will talk to him about workout intensity.

I actually did havea CBC ran! All normal!

I try not to eat anything within an hour of these workouts because they are so strenuous. I don't want to puke! I don't really monitor this much...I eat whatever is around when I get home from work and then my workout is at 6pm.

carbs: about 200 most days I did lose 2lbs since feb but gained it back last week when I was so weak (tried to eat a ton to feel better)

See...you do a LOT more than me! I am starting to feel like this is becoming a handicap.

I do the lifting Tue/Thu/Sat. I felt like I was putting enough time in between. And those are a LOT of calories. My trainer told me to start eating like that in February. I was doing fine until a few weeks ago. I just don't understand how I can eat so much and still fail so bad.

I just don't feel like I'm really over doing it. I do the lifting Tue/Thu/Sat, I walk Mon/Fri at work on lunch, I stand periodically at my desk (not actually moving around), and the riding & barn chores I've always done. I just feel like I spread it all out well enough.....but maybe you are right? I would hate to think I…
