Your progress is really inspiring, Anexia! It's nice to see such dedication. I've gotta say, you must be an exercise super-fan! Congrats on reaching your goal, and thanks for sharing that with everyone here.
thank you i started working out regularly in June. After i statred weight lifting and strength training (besides my cardio) it was so fun i became a junkie
my new goal weight is 54kg (119 lbs), but since that's a second time of lowering my dream goal i'm no longer obsessing over my weight since it always goes up a bit when my muscles are sore and my body looks so much better than ever
Sounds like a great system! And I'd say it shows excellent self-control and judgment on the weekends, as you're paying attention and gauging your wants and needs, balanced with your weight goals. Let's hear it for the scientific method!
Thanks! It's a slow go when you eat almost maintenance!

My body likes to hang out at certain places. Eat without keeping track of carbs or calories= 130 lbs. Keep track of carbs (under 150 net) and calories (1500 max with exercise) = 120 lbs. Eat at 1200 and keep track of carbs = under 120 lbs. Don't eat, or eat around 500 calories = under 110 lbs (trying to avoid that!)
That last is a good thing to avoid!
It never really hit me when people talked about counting carbs, but it should have. I regularly comment about how certain things "stick," and are much harder to get rid of, and it's always CARBS! Not great ones like vegetables, but anything from white sugar/white flour to brown rice, which I consider fairly healthy. The body seem to love holding onto these things a little bit longer than everything else!

I know what you mean. The yoga is making a big difference for me. It's like it's toning me without my really trying too hard, which is a MAJOR miracle! (That's me fainting over the results compared to the effort! )
