Checking in.
Thought it was a good day yesterday.
Starting out with my smoothie. I think it helps get me going for the day.
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!!
3 Months?!?! Dang!!! Where’d that come from?
I love it 
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 
Walk dogs
Pilates reformer workout
3 weeks not missing a workout
Weigh in @197.4 down from 197.8
sober
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. 
Nice to see you back Jordan. I hope your GF recovers quickly. And great job being here and sober and clean. Way to go

Started my journey DECEMBER 15 2020 AT 224
iam 188 goalweight of 145 pounds iam going to get there just have to figure out where and how i can incorporate working out i feel guilty because ive eaten high calories on the road its hard but i will get through this !!! LETS GOO
89.2 kg (197 pounds) today. So happy to be below 90 kg. I can not remember last time.
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!!
How has everyone been doing on their journeys?!? Been thinking about all of you!
I need to get serious about this i went for a walk yesterday. Really easy to turn to food.
Hey! Yeah I’ve 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 boredom… but things should be picking up again soon. I’m not letting anything stop my weight loss efforts though, got to keep going even through this weird cloud that I’m under atm.
Least then when it passes (which it will) I can look back and thank myself for not giving up (and I’ll be a few lbs lighter too 
)
Weight loss seems to have stalled a little, not exactly sure why. I know I had a “bad” weekend last weekend but I got straight back on plan and have been for over a week now and no real changes. So that’s been disheartening too.
Proper weigh in on Thursday though and it will be time to take measurements too so I’ll see what’s 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 motivation…) to get some exercise in so that might speed things up again!
How you been doing??
Stay strong. That’s great you got a walk in yesterday! I understand how easy it is to turn to food. Sigh. You can do it!
Hey there! That’s fantastic you’ve been sticking with the diet plan and getting back to yoga! I’ve 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!
I’m glad you are staying dertermined… grit your teeth and push through it!
Sorry the weight loss seemed to have fallen off somewhat although you’ve gotten back to your daily routine. Hopefully it’s just a temporary block ans you’ll be back to losing in no time at all.
What grade is your kiddo in? Just curious! Our youngest is in 11th grade.
I’ve 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 I’ve gained some strength. It’s 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 I’ll probably be wiped out more so than I would have been if it were had come a couple days from now… but I’ll get it done!
Hey! Well I’m feeling a bit better, sun is shining today so I’m sure its that thats making the difference. Need to get out on a walk again today. I need to be outside, think I’ve had a dose of cabin fever recently
How did your test go?? I bet you’ve improved loads! Not sure how the grade system works as I’m 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 I’ve 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 I’d taken measurements at the very start but never mind, least I’m doing it now.
So, 24lbs lost so far.
18lbs to go!
Not bad going considering I’ve been stuck inside so much recently.
So, looks like I’m back in action 
thank god 
Glad you’re feeling a bit better! The sun always helps! We don’t 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. I’m 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 I’m having my monthly which is such a drain on energy all by itself. I know and can feel myself getting stronger every day and I’m losing weight so yeah, things are going in the directions I wanting them to go in. I’m 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 too… 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 you’ve busted your butt all week… but you did lose and you’re absolutely right that at least it’s 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. I’ll finally know when I’ll 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. I’d like to get to 120 lbs and re-access at that point. My usual weight 10 years ago was about 105 lbs as I’ve 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 I’m just rambling. Haha. Hope you have a fantastic day!
