Checking in today. Weighed 118.4 lbs. I’m up .4 from last week, but I’m guessing it has to do with me getting back on the tread and walking daily with water retention in my muscles. I’m not going to fret (too much) about the 1.8 lbs gain over the last 2 weeks. I know I’m much better off in every way just moving more (physically, mentally and emotionally) even if the scale isn’t going in the direction I’d prefer.
Weighing in happily at 197.8
Eeek
199.0
Still good enough. Especially since I’ve been laid up.
Again
Guess who’s back? Back again, Jenny’s back Jenny’s back Jenny’s back mammama (<<<that eminem song)
Welp…looks like I got a little fatter when I fell off the wagon but I’m ready to sort it out.
Think I gained like 10lbs but cant be sure as I’m scared to weigh in but I’ll do it soon… eating all the healthy stuff so it’s a start.
I’m with you. I will try my best.
Welcome back! You can do this!!
Sorry to hear you’re laid up again, but you will get through this too. Just like a little blue fish named Dory said, “just keep swimming!”
Day late for my weigh in.
199.8 pounds.
Barely under 200
Good enough. I hope to get back to walking soon.
Eric I just read through all the weightloss for the last 30 days dude and I gotta say congrats man you did it I’m proud of you haha
Thanks buddy. It’s been kind of rough with the back pain lately. But I think I’m on the mend. I’m hoping to get back to power walking the end of the week. That will help.
@MaggieDoe
Congrats on your ten days AF.
FWIW
Some of us use this thread. It hasn’t got much use lately.
Anyway, when I started my sober journey 600 something days ago I down loaded this app and the Noom Ap. I liked it. It worked for me. Lost 45 pounds. I thought it was handy having both apps in my phone. Especially counting calories. You get a coach and a forum. Which is ok. But I like the ease of counting my calories and keeping it under or at my calorie goal. And it also kept track of my exercise and adjust the calories I should take in.
@MaggieDoe
And instead of drinking at meal time I spent a lot of time googling calories in this or that or whatever. It took my mind off of drinking.
Thank you!!!
I lost 10 lbs the last time I quit, this time I’ve gained 10.
Will get on here to, try to check in once a while. The last 2months I lost about 8-9 kg. Want down to somthing 60-65kg.
Current weigth 73.7 kg
Next goal 70 kg.
Well I finally weighed myself and i gained 10lbs over the course of the most recent nightmare… it’s ok though I know where I went wrong… this is what alcohol and poor eating habits does, I knew that anyway and I’m glad I’ve caught it when I did…I’m still technically in my “comfortable” weight range, just at the very VERY top end.
This time around (and because I’m sort of ok with how I look/feel… its mostly for vanity) I’m going to take my time and aim for 1/2-1lb a week.
I lost weight WAY too fast last time and didnt do enough exercise which meant I lost a lot of muscle tone, so although I got to goal weight I wasnt happy with how I looked. I wont make the same mistake again.
No need to rush and I know what I need to do, so let’s do it!
I guess I didn’t log my weigh in Friday or Saturday. Probably because I was back up to 202. And still kinda laid up. But better.
Weighing in on a usual Monday at 201.8lbs.
Last check in : 73.7 kg
Current: 72.6 kg.
Sloooowly getting there.
I’m going through a transition phase in my weight loss journey currently. Up until a few months ago I have been doing keto. I lost about 25kg 3/4 years ago (prior to getting sober and while still drinking but I wont go into that). I then stuck with keto as it made it easy to maintain my weight. As someone who has always struggled with weight and body image issues it was amazing to find a way of eating that made it easy to keep a healthy weight.
For various reasons I decided to stop keto and switch to a vegetarian diet. I also really wanted to break the cycle of weighing myself everyday as it is unecessary and perhaps mentally unhealthy. So a double wammy of reintroducing carbs and changing my weighing habits.
So I hadn’t weighed my self for a good few weeks until this morning. It’s been difficult not to, and I was a little nervous that perhaps i’d unwittingly ballooned over the past month. I weighed in at 68.5kg which is exactly where I want to be thankfully.
Really chuffed that the switch in diet doesn’t seem to be causing me any problems
Weighing in over my ideal weight goal at
202.2. Pounds.
But I’m definitely good with that after traveling. And probably overcompensating with food instead of booze. I’m only up two tenths of a pound from last weigh in. It definitely could have been worse.
Keep checking in folks it works.
