  • Happy June!

    I'm not putting a goal other than to stay at 120 lbs on my heavier scale. I would be thrilled to maintain at anything under 120, like 118-119

    Everyone is making great progress!

    6/1 119.9 lbs
    6/2 120.4 lbs 17,000 steps
    6/3 119.6 lbs 18,000 steps
    6/4 120.4 lbs ??
    6/5 120.5 lbs time of the month...
  • SW: 146.0
    GW: 141.0
    Bonus GW - 139.8
    Out of the 140s baby!

    June 1-- 146.0
    June 2 -- 144.2 (-1.8)
    June 3 -- 143.2 (-1.0)
    June 4 -- 144.2 (+1.0; -1.8 for the month)
    That's what I get for going with the lower scale reading yesterday

    It's glycogen/water weight. I was at an enormous calorie deficit yesterday, not possible to gain any weight on that. Didn't exercise yesterday....
  • Quote: Hi guys!!! I don't think I'm going to set a goal this month. I lost more than I thought I would last time around (128 -> 123), entirely due to up-ing my activity level by a whole lot. I'm pretty sure that's going to level off after another pound or so, because I have no plans on altering my intake or exercising even more. I'm just going to see what happens, and continue transitioning into full time maintenance.

    5/31: 123.75
    6/1: 123
    Way to go, Vabs! And thanks for sharing your approach. With that kind of success, it's good to know. If you feel like it, maybe you can also refresh our memories what your diet plan is. Whatever it is, it's working well!
  • 6/1: 131 - 5 mile run
    6/2: 131
    6/3: 131.4 - 3 mile walk
    6/4: 131.2 - 4 mile walk

    I'm feeling super-unmotivated right now. That on-and-off fatigue I'd been fighting with has returned, with a little vertigo thrown in just to keep things fresh. ;-) Determined to go to doctor at end of June.

    Trying to keep my workouts fun and stay motivated. I found some new ab workouts on youtube that inspired me & I've started doing "pyramid" interval workouts on the treadmill, which is supposed to rev up your body to burn fat. I think I need to do a variety of workouts instead of just running, crunches and push ups. Can't wait to see 149 on the scale!

    Alexistropic - We are essentially the same height/weight! Do you have a goal weight in mind?
    Kudos on hitting 150! A 25-pound loss is quite an accomplishment.

    I work out on the treadmill, too. Would you mind sharing what "pyramid" workouts are? I have heard that mixing up one's exercise regimen can have a great effect on weight loss.

    So sorry you're going through these difficulties. Having some issues myself right now, and trying this, that, and the other thing to remediate/ameliorate them. Also not feeling the 1200 calorie a day thing. I was never able to make that work before, because it was just too little to work with!

    We'll both get through this, and it will be for the better. Hang in there!
  • Quote: May was a difficult month so I'm using June to restart again.

    Goals: Make healthier snack choices
    Add more weekly work outs
    Drink more water daily
    Get back to 150

    6/1- 157- healthy snack: granny smith apple, mozzarella cheese
    6/2- 155 snack: homemade biscotti (but it was so good!)
    6/3- 155 snack: granola bars
    6/4- 154 snack:
    CrunchyMama, you've got so much going on - I'm glad you're keeping us in the loop. Oh, my gosh, homemade biscotti! I imagine it was heavenly.

    Hi there, FnV! Sorry I didn't respond to your post! Didn't catch it until just now. Re: GW - My lowest weight as an adult was 129 and it felt fanTASTIC. I was only there for about 5 minutes and it wasn't in the healthiest of ways, but I loved being that weight. Would love to get back down there someday... Still definitely within the recommended BMI guidelines.

    How about you?

    6/1/15 - NWI
    6/2/15 - 151.4
    6/3/15 - 150.2
    6/4/15 - 150.4
    6/5/15 - 150.8 (arrrgh... not really being mindful enough in my eating, but there you go...)
  • Quote: One thing I'm finding so far is that - and this is kind of obvious, but helps when you're only having 1200 calories - liquids fill you up! I'm now having a large glass of lemon water first thing, also some aloe vera juice, and various herbal teas. I feel pretty full right now, for instance, even though I've only had some oatmeal (ONE SERVING, mind you - that's something new, but saves me calories for later, lol) with cherries mixed in, but I feel stuffed, which I like.

    Yay, summer! I'm glad it's here, and know we'll all do our best to be as healthy and happy as we can possibly be, and help others to do the same. Best wishes to all the Fine Feathered Friends!

    Edit: Forgot to weigh in! Last week, after grandson's birthday/reunion, gained 2.85 pounds, which put me at 110.15. Today was at 108.45. Not giving a goal for this week, as I have no idea how the 1200 cals a day will go! But the next goal is 107, so I'm aiming for a loss of 1.45 pounds, oh, sometime this month would be nice.
    Hey there, HW! Happy to see you back here. Just wanted to send you a bit of encouragement. Also, re: your 1200 calories. Glad that you're changing up the routine (and I imagine that fasting for days might get a little tiring, no?)

    I'm trying to contain my calories as well (1200-1500 range). Playing around with the idea of forgoing breakfast in order to have more leeway with lunch and dinner. It helps!
  • SW: 143.6
    GW:135 <-- this is aggressive but I think I can do it.

    6/1 - 143.6
    6/2 - 144.0
    6/3 - NWI
    6/4 - NWI
    6/5 - 144.0

    Went out of town for a work conference. I am shocked I didn't gain more weight. Plan on being tough throughout the weekend and working out as much as possible. Hoping all my pesky injuries will stay away!

    Happy Friday all!
