Hey everyone :wave::wave:

Weigh in day tomorrow and I’m not expecting a loss tbh. Ate lots of treats etc over the weekend :grimacing:. wouldn’t have went over maintenance calories but definitely didnt stick to the plan, so I’ll be happy if I stay the same and will work harder next week and onwards.
Only really got back into the swing of things these past couple of days, had a really bad (crazy…) vertigo ‘experience’ over the weekend which I still havent 100% recovered from so just been taking it easy.
Yoga has pretty much been ground to a halt because of it which is a shame because I was really enjoying that :disappointed: I did a little bit today but nothing like what I was doing before and have to be careful with head movements etc :roll_eyes:
Managed a decent walk today though so theres that!

Hang in there! I’m sorry you’ve been experiencing vertigo. I certainly hope you get back to feeling 100% very very soon and everything will start falling back into place for you hopefully!

Thank you!! :hugs:
Yeah I’m not going to let it derail me, no real damage will have been done, I got right back on track on monday so although I haven’t been able to move much diet hasn’t been too bad since then.
I’m starting to feel better and the weather is improving here so means I can get out more, just taking it easy atm, but then I wasnt exactly going crazy with exercise before as we’ve been stuck inside for weeks anyway :laughing:

Well just as expected! No loss, no gain :woman_shrugging: ah well I know where I went wrong :rofl: not feeling too bad about it as I’ve had some really good losses recently and I’m still 22lbs lighter than when I started.

Absolutely not giving up though… funny that I thought all the treats over the weekend would be amazing but they just made me feel like crap, and then it took a few days to start feeling good afterwards too, really wasnt worth it so lesson learnt there. :no_mouth::rofl:

Will see a loss next week AND next week will be time to take measurements too (I’m only taking them every 30 days) so excited to see what they say!

Well I guess staying the same is much better than gaining when you know you have enjoyed some goodies! I’m a lot less hard on myself if I myself I remember what I indulged in over the course of the week.

That is so awesome you’re down 22 lbs. I’m looking forward to having that number under my belt myself (and thensome, hopeful to lose 30-35 lbs overall). I am happy and thankful I’m down 11.4 lbs don’t get me wrong in 11 weeks time.

As for measurements and even photos, I didn’t do either of that this time around. DOH! I probably should have, but was so disgusted with letting myself go AGAIN, I didn’t want to really to document my journey in that way. I already do regret it, but its ok. Everyone knows what I use to look like in my good years and they also know what I looked like at the worst of times, so when I get back to my old self, I and them will just know too.

Good luck to you!

Checking in.
Thought it was a good day yesterday.
Starting out with my smoothie. I think it helps get me going for the day.


Next up. Cold dog walk. 45 min.
Then I’m going to man it up and do my 3 1/2 miles. It’s freezing out. But no ice on the roads. Plenty of sun. No excuses. Even if it is very windy too.
Let’s keep at it folks.
:pray::heart:

I finished my first ever (but there will be more in my future!) 60 min indoor cycle ride! It was focused on building up endurance so I’m nicely surprised I don’t feel hugely spent. So up next with be a little core, arms/shoulders and glute work and will round out the day with a 20 min brisk tread walk.

Enjoy your day all! Today marks 3 months of no alcohol for me!! Yay!!

THANK YOU!!! But yes, I know, right?!?!? It seems like yesterday, yet it feels like eons ago all at the same time. I’ve been SO focused on my health and fitness the last almost 3 months, that the last drink I had seems like so much longer ago in other ways. I can’t even imagine in this moment ever going back to it. I have lost weight a few times over the last 10 years only to gain it all back again and more so once hubby and started drinking a lot nightly. I know now that I just can not keep abusing my body so badly anymore. I finally realize that, it’s like the light bulb just turned on this last time. I am so thankful and grateful for it too.

3 months since I started my weightloss Journey. Still feeling great. Spring is coming to Danmark after a few very cold days. It makes it easier to come out.

Hey everyone! I haven’t been on the forum much lately and makes me feel bad… Unfortunately my girlfriend has been in serious amounts of pain and I’ve been here helping her the best I can. With that said I chose to stop doing my workouts as I do them at home and it’s kinda loud. We live in a one bedroom apartment so while she’s been sleeping I haven’t been working out and then once she’s awake I help her and myself to food and getting better.
Trust me I wouldn’t choose to do anything differently during this hard time for us but wanting to let you all know where I’ve been.

Yesterday she had surgery and came home shortly after she woke up from anesthesia. We really hope this surgery works so we can go on adventures and be outside in this wonderful state (CO).

With that said I have two main outlets that are major to me. Working out and working on my AdvntrLane Productions. And with working out being on hold I’ve dove into my photography and video production. I’ve had this specific side hobby/business since 2012 and it’s nice to have another outlet that lets me be creative and occupied so I don’t drink or do drugs but damn do I miss working out. I feel I’m loosing a huge emotional and physical outlet as I use it for stress and I’m still stressed and now getting depressed…

But no matter what I’m here, sober and clean.

Checking in on weigh in day.
Smoothie :white_check_mark:
Walk dogs :white_check_mark:
Pilates reformer workout :white_check_mark:
3 weeks not missing a workout :white_check_mark:
Weigh in @197.4 :white_check_mark: down from 197.8
sober :white_check_mark:

So I keep telling y’all my goal weight is 200 lbs. but I like to be around 195 for a buffer. I’m not sure why. Maybe so I still feel good if I have a bad week or 2 and gain weight. I was thinking. Maybe I should just make my new goal weight 195 lbs. and then try and maintain? Any advise from anyone on this?

I feel like I’m working hard but not much is coming off. Well I guess a pound every other week is pretty successful when your at or around your goal weight.

Anyway hope y’all are well. Have a great weekend. And let’s not eat too much. :crazy_face::rofl:

Weigh in day for me. I’m down 2.2 lbs!!! So I’m below 140 lbs now!! Im so stinking excited!!

Today’s weight (12 weeks): 138.2 lbs
Last week’s weight (11 weeks): 140.4 lbs
Weight at week 10: 143.4
Starting weight (Nov. 29, '21): 151.8 lbs
Goal weight: 120 lbs (maybe 115 lbs, but when I get to 120 lbs I’ll reaccess at that time).

I’m going to continue to stay uber focused on my workouts and diet and I’m going to keep plucking away at it. I’ve been working out so diligently that I’m happy to see the scale moving in the desire direction. It helps me to stay strong that what I’m doing is making a difference. That is such a great affirmation!

Thank you all who have been such so supportive!!! I appreciate each and everyone of you so much. Thank you!

I got a new scale this week. It’s one of those body composition scales. I love it. One of the things I’ve realized is that things really aren’t as bad as I feared. The thing is I’ve been comparing myself to my super fit and skinny 25 year old self. But I’m now 49. SCIENCE says I shouldn’t expect the same. A healthy weight, BMI, %fat, etc are different at this age. So I know I carry too much belly weight and I want to make that better but it’s nice to see so much green and no red in my stats.

The one disappointing thing with this new scale is that clearly my VERY old scale was giving slightly inaccurate numbers. My weight jumped about 2 pounds, so I’ve spent the week getting back to my previous numbers. I’ve lost 1.5 this week but it shows as +0.5 on my charts.

Wow very cool about the new scale. Very high tech! I haven’t thought much about getting a cool scale like that, I should consider it. I know all extra weight is in my belly. Glad you too saw a loss this week!! Way to go!!
