Renate Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Hmm, I stopped my weighing myself every day experiment. Not conciously, I just kept thinking of weighing myself at the wrong times, or too late. Want to try again, but starting tomorrow. (I am doing this out of curiosity to gauge how little or much my weight fluctuates.) 3 Quote Level ☆ human [uncategorizable] STR 2 | DEX 3 | CON 3 | STA 3 | WIS 6 | CHA 6 Link to comment
Harriet Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Argh. Sunday weigh in and I am up two pounds, despite eating under maintenance all week. It's a lie.

Keladris Posted April 4, 2021 Report Share Posted April 4, 2021 Woah I'm at 76kg today! So week 0 was 77, then 78.5 and now 76... So from last week to this week I lost 2.5kg/5lbs! What gives? Weight is crazy. I have been particularly vigilant after that gain last week, plus I think the walking every day is helping. I'm also upping my dancing. I hope I can maintain/keep going! 5 Quote Keladris the Bard Current XP: 130 Current Challenge: Rebuilding --------------------------------------------------------- Previous challenges: Respawn | Limbering up | Going Forth | Lifting the thing | Exploring | Staying the course | Stabilising | Preparing | Counting Wins | Rolling Initiative | Catching up | Building Base Camp Link to comment
Xena Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 I weigh essentially the same again today, but not worried....I just got the new scale. It was reading almost a full pound lower yesterday. The numbers on my old scale didn't move very much ever (it had some kind of weird smoothing filter, I think), so I need to get used to the fluctuations of this one. BUT now that I have a working scale, it's time to really focus on this goal. 5 Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
Rookie Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 -0.6lb loss since last weigh in. Easter weekend was a "bust" for me eating wise but a gold star on movement. Back at it! 8 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment
Elastigirl Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 I weighed myself and was up a pound and a half. I'm going to wait and record my weight tomorrow. Yesterday was Easter, and I had planned on not sticking to my deficit eating. But, the meal timing was weird too. We snacked after church, had a late lunch, and then I had some chicken and a roll at about 8:30, which is way later then I normally eat. So, I figured that affected my weigh in. 3 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment

Shello Posted April 5, 2021 Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 Week 0: 255.5 Week 1: 257.2 Week 2: 256.4 (down 0.8) After taking week 0 off from keeping a deficit weigh is starting to recover. It's starting slowly because life got in the way a few times this week. I rangered through it making decent decisions at the time. I don't want my weight loss efforts to interfere with living life so sometimes that just has to happen. Like Easter; I was with my bf's family and they had all the carbs for Easter and I enjoyed every one of them. 4 Quote Race: Amazonian Ogre Princess | Class: Ranger | Profession: SuperHero | Affiliation: Doodlie and Pancake for Life Respawn Challenge Arcs: 2021 | 2022 I am not saying I am Wonder Woman.

Kestrel Grey Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Down 2lbs for the week. I'm not getting excited yet since this seems to be the initial water weight I drop when I move to a slight calorie deficit. Waiting until next week - once it's over 3 lbs lost then I'll trust some of it might be fat loss. My plans to go running every other day are on hold, which is slowing my weight loss plans. After a winter of napping indoors, the physiotherapist says my stabilizer muscles are so atrophied that I'd kill myself. So a month of strength training first! If only the gyms were safe. 4 Quote Current Challenge: The Cliffs of Insanity Previous Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #16, #17, #18, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #26, #27, #28, #29, #30, #31, #32, #33, #34, #35 Battle Log: Operation Fly-By-Night “Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” ― Neil Gaiman Link to comment

Skywalker Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 I made it throught Easter away with friends without going too much off plan and finished with an overall loss (I'd lost before going away so I"m happy that I maintained that over the long weekend). Now's the challenging time because I've been fluctuating between 70 and a half and 72 for a while so it's time to see if I can get below 70. Additional complication is that I now have my hand in a cast for at least the next two weeks which will limit my gym/exercise routine. 3 Quote Skywalker Progress woot: Skywalker's success Character Profile: Skywalker Blog: Just Get Moving Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Harriet Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Ugh. Weight remains up: Even the happy scale curve is showing it. I did start trying to eat 300g of fruit and vegetables at every meal, so 900g per day, so probably 400g more than usual. That could make one heavier, right? 400g heavier? And I had to cut down my hour long walks to half an hour. I guess that could make a difference. I want to go back to long walks 😞 3 Quote Let cheese and oxen and mead crowd out our secret desires for power and domination - Harriet the Viking Just be bold, fluid and unapologetic, not small, hairy and indecisive - Harriet the Artist You can absorb me! - Harriet the Contextless Guru Link to comment
spezzy Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 Forgot to weigh yesterday - but got in at a pound and a half under my initial weigh in which was nice to see, and my (mostly) daily weigh ins have been trending lower, even if just by a tiny bit. 5 Quote I'm no longer an active member here.

Loveable_Bouncer Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Oops forget to update outside of the spreadsheet. Starting: 284 Week 1: 283 Week 2: 281 The scale is going down despite not being 100% (I'm going to enjoy this time the weight is coming off, despite dealing with hormone issues from weight loss). For Easter I found Whole30 broccoli salad is the bomb for me, will be a summer salad for weekly meals. My microwave and TV broke last week.... which aligns with easier cooking and my ring fit. So I feel like my brain had been stumped along with just being exhausted and anxious on my life changing. --- Realized I never shared my game plan. I'm trying to stick to Whole foods like eating, while trying to avoid any sweeteners and flour. Was attempting bento for lunches but realized a bowl full of food seems to fit me well. Though both last weeks I ended up turning to old comfort foods for a couple days. Luckily with a gut reset I'm trying to do, its been easier to say no to sugar. I'm currently not tracking, but hoping to enjoy this time where I don't. Hoping to work on keeping a weekly treat to try out new foods as I move into a metro area in a couple weeks. Was attempting 10k steps last week due to trying to get ready for my new job, I crashed hard after 2 days. So refocusing on what I need to do and get my ring fit set up! 6 Quote Link to comment

Let us know how it works for you Maybe I didn't word it perfectly, since its broadly saying I've had to cut out most processed food due to the avoiding sweetners and flours. I can eat whole grains (brown rice, oats, etc) and legumes which is less strict than Whole30. I also am continuing to avoid dairy due noticing my gut doesn't appreciate it. If it wasn't for me finally feeling 10x better when I do eat right I would be having a hard time getting back on it after eating comfort food... The biggest issue is wrapping my head around a meal to eat. Where I've found I need to chill in my kitchen and stare at the food for a meal idea.

So trying to figure out a way to move around more without tiring myself out before my weeknight 9 PM job I'm finishing up the next 2 weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment

TiogaGirl Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 Oof, weight’s up a bit this week. Yesterday was comparatively solid though! hit my active caloric burn goal, even though I did the responsible thing and worked from home (which means no walking commute, which means no automatic unthinking way of getting the miles in!) tracked pretty much everything I ate Food was pretty reasonable, ~1900 cal, 30%protein 40%fat 40%carbs For first time in ages was not possessed by the dessert zombie that usually takes over my brain about 8 pm that level of self possession was TIRING y’all and I crashed into bed before 10 pm 😅 Today will be a great day if I can repeat the wins from yesterday PLUS some sort of strength workout. I think Bodyweight 4A is on the horizon today.. Big obstacle of the day is that it’s my kiddo’s birthday, meaning that we whipped up an awesome peanut butter cheesecake... not a low calorie concoction! Well, maybe I will celebrate 19 years of parenting this delightful human with a bike ride to get out ahead of some of the ensuing richness. 4 Quote Link to comment

TiogaGirl Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hit my move goals yesterday, thanks to a beautiful sunny warm day that just begged for me to come outside and enjoy it whenever the workday allowed. And choir dance practice was super energetic. So movement side of the equation was strong. Nutrition-wise I would NOT say I covered myself in glory... I did track though and the Bday dinner indulgence (Cadillac mac and cheese, peanut butter cheesecake) was reasonably planned. Just way more calories than needed even for maintenance (2600!! And I think my maintenance level is around 2000 on a good day that I’m running around a lot) 🤐 Eh, it’s a new day and no mistakes in it yet. Birds are singing, no meetings after 12, happy kids in their rooms sleeping off the rich dinner, happy dogs waiting downstairs for me to walk them. Today will be better, challenge wise. 4 Quote Link to comment
