223lbs, on official weigh in day. Not happy but undeterred. Still waiting for this cut to start kicking in.
I’m day 25 and while I’ve seen good loss at onset of water/glycogen, it’s been remaining stubborn in weight and waist inches and BF%. I know this phase is a lot of peaks and valleys, but it would be nice for it to start moving. This next week with night shifts won’t help either, so hopefully by the following week we have better results showing up.
My scales haven’t been working for months, but I had a health checkup at work this week and it turns out I’m 70 kg. I thought I might be 2 or 3 kg below that, but it is what it is. Clothes got tighter and I’m not about to go shopping. So I’m starting to watch my portions and will be more diligent about working out. So far I aim to swim twice a week and hit the gym also twice a week, so four times total. Last week I managed three, which for me is good going. Let’s see if I can budge a few kg.
Checking in again. Current weight 140.3lbs. I want to get and stay around 135lbs. These last 5lbs have been hard to keep off. I fluctuate often. I joined a virtual race today so hopefully my increased running will help. Day 1 of a new journey
Way to go!! Which virtual race did u join? Thats exciting!! Ive heard that the last little bit of weight is the hardest to get off. Im mo where near that point yet but thats what Ive heard.
I weighed in at 195…up from 183 before the holidays and my vacation. I’m not losing hope and I’m staying diligent. I’m far from the 304 lbs that I weighed 8 years ago. I’m 35 lbs away from my goal of 160.
Cut is still dialled in while doing this crazy night shift routine running a tandem plow truck. 12 hour shifts with 2 hours travel doesn’t leave me any time for workouts currently, but eating has been on point as I focus intently on rest and proper recoverY along with hitting my protein target.
This latest weigh in is a mid week as Sundays was noisy with improper rest over a couple nights. I’m super pumped as I’m knocking on the door of being in the 2teens which I haven’t been since I was literally in my teens.
Ca. -1kg since my last check in week ago. Part of me thinks that can’t be right, I am a little skeptical how well our scale works.
Intermittent fasting is going well. I’m learning to recognise my hunger better. Lots of emotional hunger, now I try to react only to real hunger signals. I’ve started drinking more water and quit snacking so much. I had the habit of replacing proper meals with snacks which isn’t great.
Up 2lbs. Doesnt seem like much, but frustrating nonetheless. At the same time, I’m suprised it’s only 2 as I’ve been doing a lot of emotional eating. Glad I got honest with myself. I still have 15ish pounds to go so I think it’s time to turn up the heat. Gotta work for it.
After my doctor’s appointment I realize that I have gained 18lbs in 6months. I weighed in at 199, fully clothed with shoes, etc. I’m still holding tight to my 45 minute work out and calorie count. I adjusted my calorie intake again. The app that I’m using is suggesting 2041 a day. I’m keeping it below that and trying to restrict sweets….ungh. I don’t want to give up my sweets. I’ve given up just about everything else…caffeine and sweets…idk
Honestly, I lost the bulk of my weight with no exercise at all aside from work. I cut out empty calories and started calorie counting. The downfall to that was that I lost a lot of muscle mass with that weight (we’re talking about 80 lbs) and now I’m struggling to get it back. I’m sure you’ll get back into your routine in no time.
Started my initial fitness journey at 335, down to around 290 currently but feel great! Down to 18% BF, just need to stop the random binge cycles that derail my consistency with CrossFit and food choices. Back to 10 days again, here’s to a lifetime clean!
