The weekly weight loss check-in and encouragement

[barbie]

Today I hiked to the top of Halla Mt. (1,950 m altitude).  It typically takes about 9 hours by walking, but I finished it in 5 hours as I ran whenever the course condition allowed.

[Nicodeme]

141 lbs. Goal is 130.

Today is my "eat whatever" day so hopefully I don't lose too much progress lol.

[Felicity R]

Missed my check in last week because I was out of town. I'm currently at 187.4lbs.

[Tiffers]

Ok I have missed a few check-ins, but I am down 3.5 lbs so far from where I started a few weeks ago.  145 lbs, goal 120.

[awkward-shark]

I lost 1.7kg (weighed on saturday). I'm currently 78.5kg. My goal is 70.000 kg.

[Felicity R]

My last weigh in was at 183.4 lbs on Saturday.

I started with 283 lbs and right now I'm at 253.3 lbs.  That is 30 lbs lost!  WHOO.  I'm very proud of myself.  My gym regimen is helping with my body dysphoria, and anything that helps - I'm definitely up to continuing!  I hope you don't mind my continuing this thread since it's been a while since anybody has written in it.  I just need to share this accomplishment, I'm very proud of it.

I just found this thread and no one has posted in awhile. On December 16, 2014 I was 318 lbs and my height is 6'2". This morning I weighed in at 339.6 lbs. That's 79 lbs. I "Let myself go" as part of my deep denial but I have she'd that garbage and am really going for it. My wife wants me to stop at 215 which was the weight I was when I met her but I'm secretly going for 190 which would make me a "normal weight" according to BMI.

Congratulations, Katelyn!  80 lbs is a heck of an accomplishment.  I'm proud.  I assume you meant 239.  [emoji1]

Decided to join this topic as I have started loosing weight.
I was recently diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and 2 months ago started cpap. I have been told by my doctor that weight loss will be difficult until my metabolism recovers.
I made some dietary changes this year and managed to loose weight but then it stopped.
I'm as of today 270lbs (122.7kg, I'm Australian) that's down from 306lbs(139kg) in December last year.
My goal is 213lbs or 97kg as I am 6'3" that would put me just inside my recommended bmi.
So I'll see you all in a week, hugs,
Bobbie

As of my weigh-in this morning, I'm 83.7kg or 184.5lbs. On January 1 last year, I weighed in at my biggest - 112.5kg (246lbs). My goal weight is 77kg (169lbs), which would place me within the 'healthy' range of my BMI, albeit at the far end. Unless I hit another plateau (the bane of us on weight-loss programs...), I should be on target to hit that goal by mid-October. Hopefully.

[Sarah82]

A little late with my check in but I'm down to 120.7 kg (266lbs).
Good luck guys and girls, you can do it.

I'd consider myself an expert on weight loss. There are no shortcuts, eat less and exercise is an age old but effective mentality. Watch what you eat too, I gave up fast food and junk food a long time ago. Greasy food is addictive if you eat frequently, if you cut it out of your diet you will stop liking it. As far as exercise goes... choose activities you enjoy doing, don't make working out a chore or you won't stick with it. If you want to lose weight quickly you've got to ignore the bruises, pain and blisters. Just grind grind grind!

I'm a couple of days late with my check-in as well, but happy to report that I'm down to 82.3kg. I'm still on track to get down to 80kg by the end of the month. Well, as long as I don't give into those naughty cravings...

[Sarah82]

Resurrecting the weight-loss thread.
Klaatu Barada Nikt-ahchoo!
Oh oh.

So a bit late with my check in, for a few weeks my weight plateaued at 112-113kg.
But as of yesterday it started moving again and today I'm 111kg, that's over 25kg(Yay milestone) lost of far and only 14kg till my goal.
My end of year goal is under 100kg.
See you in a week,
Sarah

Hello all,

In mid-December I decided to change my nutritional lifestyle. I was extremely depressed from GD and had eaten myself nearly to death. On December 14th I weighed 318 lbs. My wife asked, how much weight are you going to try to lose? Thinking for a minute, I said, how about 100 lbs, thinking I'd never get there. She replied, when we first met you were 215, how about that? So I went for it, expecting to fail quickly like all those other attempts.

This morning I weighed in at an even 215 lbs. I can hardly believe it.

Sunday morning is a good day for me to post to this, before the Sunday roast!!!

In December 2014, once I realised everything about myself and set my goals, I was 93kg (at 5' 10", BMI 28) and set myself a phase 1 target of 80kg.  The main objective is to get sub-80kg and as close to 70kg as possible.  Having progressed well throughout the last 11 months, with help from Bootea, I've reached the point where I slide above/below the 86kg mark and this morning was 85.3kg with a body fat of 20.9%.  Thankfully I'm, closer to phase 1 than the starting point and this is with just a cut down in food intake rather than strict diet and heavy exercise.

My target weight of around 70kg was where I wanted to be prior to beginning HRT so I could accommodate some weight gain and work to try and keep things sensible as the HRT took effect.  Being a little more desperate to take HRT now, I might just try to get to that 80kg mark first and see where things are.
