Hello everyone ! Hope you are doing well? I’ve been gone for awhile and after Christmas few months ago, my weight has creeped up to 177 lbs. I started using a fasting app today to help me get down to, hopefully, 155 lbs. I’ll be attempting to fast from 7pm to 11am. :crossed_fingers:t2::crossed_fingers:t2:
I’ll also be cleaning up my diet. :+1::+1:

Thank you!!! The first week i lost like 6lb which im assuming is water weight. But then last week i went down a little but more :slight_smile: so im hoping that was fat being lost and not just more water weight lol

:face_vomiting: Gained half a kilo in bodyfat! Just had my weight appointment at the gym.
Even lost a little bit of muscle.
Not good and it irritates me a lot! They told me to eat extra if I work out ore walk, well today they say skip that. Ok.
The focus was gaining muscles but now it becomes loosing fat. Why can’t I do both? :face_with_peeking_eye:
Again, I’m irritated. Worked hard last 4 weeks but only gained weight and didn’t made any progress on the muscle ā€œthingā€
Didn’t made any progress at all.
Still motivated though! Gonna proove myself I can get thoose numbers into the good direction!

Sorry for the setback @SoberWalker dont let this detour your weightloss/muscle building journey.

What worked for me was to track what im eating and even with exercise be at a 200cal deficit. Focusing on macros is a good goal too (protein/fat/carbs)

Yes, that is my goal as well for the next month. At the 8th of may I have a new weight appointment. I use MyFitnessPal to look at my intake and macro’s.

Still at good ol’ 150. Had a really difficult week emotionally and mentally but tried to track and make decent decisions. Yesterday not so much - saw there was a new upscale ice cream place in town so we went and got some. That was dinner. It was damn good though!

I was 117kg (257lbs) at one point before I stopped drinking. Lost about 7or 8kg just by stopping drinking. Now after a few injuries and issues I’m needing to drop a bit more weight to make life a bit easier. Down to 105kg (230lbs) today, short term is to get back down to 100kg.

I am supporting you. I lost a good amount of weight recently but see the increase lately. I cannot let life’s challenges be in control of my healthy habits I have acquired. You got this I am sure.

Weightloss check in! I’ve been consistently gaining weight since December and finally mentioned it to my GP on Monday. I’ve gone from 74kg up to 83kg, and I really want to get back down again.
So, I’m only going to have chocolate once a week as a treat, I’m going to have an ice lolly at 53 calories after dinner instead of a big pudding of profiteroles and ice cream, and I’m about to head out on a decent walk, which I haven’t done in ages.
Here goes!

Weightloss update:

I reached my new low goal! Actual 1 lb less. Ive gone from 250+lbs to 138.9lb in 2.25yrs all thanks to diet, exercise, accountability, and consistency!

I was worried i gained these past two weeks that ive been on exercise restriction but ive been tracking my food intake (calories and macros) on myfitnesspal app for free. I havent been perfect. I didnt log a few days and overdid it but im honest with myself.

Its a negotiation. Sometimes the food noise is loud. Chocolate has been screaming at me for months. I indulge but only after eating whole foods and staying close to calories goal.

Progress over perfection my friends. We can do hard things heck we got sober!!
