Hey! Yeah Iāve been sticking with the diet plan and just started doing yoga again after having last week off. Been feeling a bit meh recently, not sure why, no real reason other than lockdown and boredomā¦ but things should be picking up again soon. Iām not letting anything stop my weight loss efforts though, got to keep going even through this weird cloud that Iām under atm.
Least then when it passes (which it will) I can look back and thank myself for not giving up (and Iāll be a few lbs lighter too 
)
Weight loss seems to have stalled a little, not exactly sure why. I know I had a ābadā weekend last weekend but I got straight back on plan and have been for over a week now and no real changes. So thatās been disheartening too.
Proper weigh in on Thursday though and it will be time to take measurements too so Iāll see whatās what then. Think I need to do more exercise.
Kiddo officially back at school in two weeks so will have lots more time (and hopefully motivationā¦) to get some exercise in so that might speed things up again!
How you been doing??

Hey there! Thatās fantastic youāve been sticking with the diet plan and getting back to yoga! Iāve gotten feelings of meh as well from time to time lately. I try not to let them keep me from working out however. I am so ready for warmer weather. Seriously no joke there!
Iām glad you are staying derterminedā¦ grit your teeth and push through it!
Sorry the weight loss seemed to have fallen off somewhat although youāve gotten back to your daily routine. Hopefully itās just a temporary block ans youāll be back to losing in no time at all.
What grade is your kiddo in? Just curious! Our youngest is in 11th grade.
Iāve been doing well. Thanks for asking. Been pushing hard with the working out lately. Tomorrow I take a Functional Threshold Power test to see if Iāve gained some strength. Itās a 20 min full out cycling test on an indoor bike. I took one 4 weeks ago, followed a scripted program abns now re test to see if I get a higher average output. Of course, this morning my monthly cycle showed up so by tomorrow Iāll probably be wiped out more so than I would have been if it were had come a couple days from nowā¦ but Iāll get it done!

Hey! Well Iām feeling a bit better, sun is shining today so Iām sure its that thats making the difference. Need to get out on a walk again today. I need to be outside, think Iāve had a dose of cabin fever recently
How did your test go?? I bet youāve improved loads! Not sure how the grade system works as Iām in the UK but my little girl is 6 
adorable age I want her to stay this little forever! 
So weigh in day today and 4 weeks has passed since I took measurements (I weigh in once a week and take measurements every 4 weeks, well, officially anyway, I still check every now and again ) lost another 2lbs, wanted it to be more after my stall but at least its moving again!
In the past 4 weeks Iāve lost 1.5inches from each area (so -1.5"waist, -1.5"hips,-1.5" thighs) apart from my arms which have stayed the same 
And lost 7lbs too.
I really wish Iād taken measurements at the very start but never mind, least Iām doing it now.
So, 24lbs lost so far.
18lbs to go!
Not bad going considering Iāve been stuck inside so much recently.
So, looks like Iām back in action 
thank god

Glad youāre feeling a bit better! The sun always helps! We donāt see too much of it here in the winter which can be such a drag! I miss being outside too, but the cold temps and I do not agree. Not one bit, so I stay in in the winter time and go out only when necessary. Iām more than ready for spring to arrive!
My test went ok. I only.improved by 5 post, but it is still an improvement so I should not be disappointed. Plus Iām having my monthly which is such a drain on energy all by itself. I know and can feel myself getting stronger every day and Iām losing weight so yeah, things are going in the directions I wanting them to go in. Iām just going to keep up the exercising and eating right, staying hydrated and all that. So far it seems to be going well.
Our youngest is 17. She will graduate from high school in June 2022. We have 3 other kids tooā¦ almost 24 (just graduated college from nursing school), 22 (will graduate from college most likely in Dec - musical theatre) and 20 (second year of college, most likely going for pre-vet). We have a perfectly blended family. 
I know your feeling all too well when you feel like the scale should say more weight loss since you know youāve busted your butt all weekā¦ but you did lose and youāre absolutely right that at least itās going in the right direction (I need to remind myself of this when thr frustrated sets in!)
Those are some serious inches lost!!! Wow!!! I keep kicking myself for not taking them (at all this time around) but trying to be kinder to myself about not doing it. Iāll finally know when Iāll be closing in on my goal when I can do a plank without my mid section drooping down and in the way!
I have about 20 or so more lbs to go. Iād like to get to 120 lbs and re-access at that point. My usual weight 10 years ago was about 105 lbs as Iāve always been pretty slender, but not overly. My waist back then was about 27 inches or so. Oh golly to be able to see that waist size again! I have gotten down to about 30 inches about 2 years ago when I weighed 122 lbs. Even seeing that size again would be wonderful.
Now Iām just rambling. Haha. Hope you have a fantastic day!

Great job on loosing 2.2 lbs. I bet that feels good. I havenāt been checking in since Iām still laid up on my back in bed. Iām not weighing in if I canāt exercise or walk. Iām depressed enough. Iām not eating too much while laid up and Iām not drinking. So I got that going for me. I hope to be back next week. Keep up the great work yāall.

Thank you!!! It definitely feels good to be going in the direction Iāve been working towards. I do look forward to the day Iām where I want to be and then I can just maintain, but Iām really not in any rush as Iām trying to thoroughly enjoy the process and life along the way. Im sorry your back is still giving you fits and that youāre still laid up. I can completely understand why youāre not weighing in at this time. It would probably lead to most definite frustration. Please keep your chin up and I do hope you are able to get back on your feet VERY VERY soon! Iām sending you good vibes!!

Well. I didnāt want to weigh in. I been basically in bed since Monday. I was able to walk with the dogs this am. Worst nights sleep ever with a headache and bad dreams and sore back. But I am going to be accountable today. 200. Pounds. Exactly at goal weight. Maybe thatās why I always talk about having a buffer. So thatās a 2 + pound gain. Oh well what the hell. I hope Iām on the mend. Mentally Iām not depressed. So thatās a good thing. Hopefully I can be up and moving more real soon. Itās amazing how fast and easy you can gain weight if you canāt move your body.
So shake you booty folks. Keep it movin to keep it loosin. 
Heyā¦ Im sorry you ended up with a 2 lb gained thats a bummer (I know that feeling and it SUCKS!), but maybe you can find a wee bit of comfort knowing that once you are able to really start moving again, once your back is healed, those pounds will come off again. Just trying to offer some positiveness! Thatās awesome you were able to walk with the dogs, definitely a step in the right direction again. Sorry about the shitty sleep, headache and sore backā¦ what a crap combination. Glad to hear youāre doing ok mentally and arenāt depressed. Yet another positive! Hang in there!

Weekly weigh in today for me. Iām down 1.2 lbs!!! So Iām now 137 lbs even. Iāll take that. Not as much loss week to week as the last couple weeks, but thats ok. A loss is a loss and Iām VERY happy with that. Iāve got roughly 17 lbs to go to get to my goal. Iām down a total 14.8 lbs in 13 weeks of steady working out.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Itās been a tough week. Because of a three day course with little flexibility in time I didnāt get to go for many doggy walks and ate more convenience foods. Still today I see my weight is down againthis week. Not much (only down 1 lb) but it is down. Doggy walks are really the one must.
Iām also learning to be a breakfast person. My oatmeal with protein powder (Vega essentials) and berries has been a huge benefitā¦it fills me up and keeps me full which helps me not go crazy at lunch.

Hey! As you said being down a pound is better than not, so WAY TO GO! Especially since you werenāt able to be as active with your dog walks that you look forward to.
I too eat just a little something for breakfast and itās been ok for me thus far. I just eat a small bowl of multigrain cheerios with either some raspberries or blackberries in it. I also have coffee in the mornings. After all that I start drinking walking to get hydrated. Then usually get to one of my workouts about 2 hours after once Iām done with my cereal.
Today is my official weigh-in day and Iām down another pound. Part of me is very happy about that but another part of me says ādonāt get too excited!!āā¦Ive been having stomach issues the last 24 hours.

Thatās awesome on losing 2.5lbs this week!! Woot! Woot!! Be sure to update us on how the switch goes from WW to the other. I hope it goes great for you and you further see even more results!
This week for me has been chugging along. Decided to try out some walk + run workouts in addition to the cycling and other workouts I do daily. Itās going ok. Iām going to see how my weigh in is on Sunday and decide then what I may do next week. This week as somewhat been an experimental week for me of sorts. My legs have been awfully tight, and Iāve been having a few aches and pains here and there that I hadnāt had but guessing itās from jogging a little. I use to run 5k YEARS ago, but am desperately far FAR from that right now. So Iām just mixing things up to keep it fresh and hoping not to plateau. I still have at least 17 more lbs to go! Good luck to you!
