132.4.. second day in a role. I have started a new workout regime..which includes weightlifting...so I'm sure my weight will remain the same or even go up due to muscle gain.
135! To be fair, my period just ended haha so that might help with some water weight.
Chub, I at first cut down to 1300-1400, but I had my period this week so I ended up eating more like 1400-1500 this week. I wear a Fitbit so I try to stay at a 500 calorie deficit with a couple days at a higher deficit from working out.
In terms of working out, I think it caused a stall earlier in February (plus eating too much at maintenance), but I started earlier in February. At first I was doing elliptical, but that tends to hurt my knees. I've found the best bet in terms of getting my heart rate up but being easier on my joints is incline walking - I vary it, but spend some time at 15%. The higher the incline, the slower I go - so maybe 2.6-2.8 for the highest incline, then maybe up to 3, 3.2 at 7.5% or below… it's not an exact science, I just monitor legs/knees and kind of do intervals and make sure my heart rate is up.
I also walk (or attempt to walk) at least 10k steps per day, sometimes I don't make it, but generally I try to walk that much. But that isn't new, that's ongoing.
I average 5-7 miles per day due to a fairly physical job so I don't think the lack of exercise is a problem. I've been keeping a tighter reign on my late night eating the past few days and it's making a difference in my midsection (I think) despite the fact that there is no change on the scale (136.4 this morning). I went to the gym with a friend this morning and did an hour of dance cardio with 1/2 hr of weight lifting so I'm feeling good . I'll be going on a long hike tomorrow (around 13 miles) so hopefully the scale will reflect that during my next weigh in .
Sounds like you would have a fairly high TDEE then! Yeah, I had to re-focus on cutting out desserts *every* day… I can still have treats, but it's more like, eat a piece of chicken for dinner, then cool whip and berries for desert, instead of full dinner, and chocolate! Ha. Good luck with your next weigh in!
I'm down to 134.8 today. 9.8 lbs to go total, and 5 lbs until 120s! I'm hoping to get to 125 by beginning of May and then maintain. I've set my Fitbit to maintain at 125 so I can see what the maintenance calories are there, and then I'm going to eat -500 from that. I think it'll give me a good picture of how much I'm going to be burning on maintenance and give me an idea of how much exercise I'll need to do to be able to eat as much as I'd like.
Post-period whoosh brought me down to 134. I'm not sure if I'll stay here - I think I drop quite low following my period, but then bounce up a bit, so… we'll see!
Screwed my weekend ALL up! 136.2 --> Definitely reflects in my weight! But I've started the week out right with 20 minutes on the bike yesterday and a 40 minute walk so far today. It is like I get so CLOSE to 131...and BOOM! Screw it up!
I'm down to 136.5 and can't wait for that 1/2 lb to lose. Then I'll be in a normal weight range for my 5'2" frame. Hopefully by Friday. I'm eating Nutrisystem and have been since the 7th of January. It works if I work it. Best wishes to all to get out of the 130's. It will take me a while, but I'm persistent. I plan to go off plan with a restaurant meal for dinner. I hope I won't do too much damage. Wishing you all a wonderful day and may you reach your goals.
134.8 this morning. Gotta get back down to 132.0. If i could stop messing up on the weekends I could get to 130! ..Anyways my March goal is to get out of the 130s. I used to think that would be easy but not so much these days!
Thank you Theresa.
I tried Nutrisystem once, but found it hard to stick to eating just their food.
It's great that you've made it work. I'm sure you'll meet your goal for this week.

Hi - I love Nutrisystem and just changed from their CORE plan to their Uniquely Yours frozen plan. What a difference in the taste of the food. I do hope to meet the goal I set for this week, but after going out to eat once and overindulging at that time, I have my doubts. My weigh-in day is tomorrow and my fingers are crossed. Outside of that once, I've pretty much stayed on my food plan.
