Up 3kg from 73kg to 76kg, no idea how I do it.

1 hour exercise EVERY day, and eating normal. Hardly alcohol, only some wine, sparkling water, no soda pop. Eish.

Little added on my waist though, can still just get into size 10 skirt (UK, SA).

Arse and thighs slightly "spreading" which I don't mind. Face slightly fuller also. Why do I think that 70kg is my ideal weight? Not so sure at times being 5' 6.5" "tall"

The real test for me is going to be checking a scale when I finally get back home...the friends I am staying with keep trying to feed me everytime I turn around.  That combined with no trips to the gym since before I left to come out here have me hoping for having just stayed steady...I *was* down roughly 14 lbs from when I started in June. 

Numbers are finally falling again...I've learned that a little tiny snack (handful of cereal, yogurt, apple, something) an hour or so before I eat keeps me from overeating at meals, taking seconds etc.  That's really working for me.  I'm not quite sure where the numbers are at right now because we have a crappy old scale, but I know they're down.

Yay

Wow Amy and Kris that's great!

We all are on track here I think...ups and downs are normal. But we all remain positive and motivated, that's so awesome!

I have re-evaluated my weight loss plan and made a few small changes, with great results: I have lost a couple more pounds!

YAY for 164 lbs.!!! If I can do it, anyone can. 155 lbs. here I come!

Good luck everyone and keep up the good work.

Jennifer

bah...finally got back to the gym tonight.  Gave up 2.5 lbs across the vacation...not a happy camper in that regard since I really didn't eat much on the travels and generally stayed away from bread and soda...guess this week becomes an everyday to the gym week instead of an every-other-day week. 

Well, it's going slowly but I've been lazy of late of late and not always eating the right things.  However, I am now determined to get the weight off.  I think the spur was getting my appointment at the gender clinic, it has given me something to aim for.

I'm sure I've had a setback as of late, I'm not as careful about what I'm eating and I'm not exercising like I should.  But you fall off the wagon, you get back on it.  I have great plans for next week and the week after that and so on.

I fell off the wagon and threw caution to the wind for two days. :embarrassed:Gained 2 lbs. How is that possible?

Oh well, back on track today and refocusing on my goals. I am determined to lose.

It is amazing what just a few days or weeks of letting things like breads or soda back into life coupled with time away from the gym can do...the upside for me (see my post from last week about the slide) was that those new pounds actually came off quicker than a lot of the other pounds (or at least they seemed to have done so). 

Some of it was likely that I overcompensated once I got back to the gym...added an extra 10 minutes for each cardio machine and went on back-to-back days.  Also had a few days where the primary meal was simply a big helping of lump crab...

I've started adding fiber to just about anything I can.  It goes a long way towards filling you up and helping you eat less.

Hi everyone,

The good news is that I haven't gained back any weight. The bad news is I can't seem to get any lower than 165lbs.
And my body fat percentage is increasing. I think I am losing muscle and building fat in all the right places (due to HRT).
Any success stories out there to help inspire me? Good luck to you all.

Jennifer

First off, congratulations to all of you! I've read all the pages to catch up and it sounds like so many of you are making improvements and supporting each other along the way.

I've been working on my own weight loss journey. I'm 6'1" and have went from 238lbs to 190lbs over the last year.  Well done to everyone because I know how frustrating this can be.

Now that is an inspirational success story that gets me motivated. Way to go grrl!

Jennifer

Thanks for the compliment. Once, I fully accepted who I am, I could decide that I was worth fighting for. Lurking on this site and others gave me hope so I appreciate all of you because that hope made all the difference to me.

Hiya everybody,

I am still stuck at 165lbs. Not such a bad thing but I would love to get to 155lbs.
How are the rest of you doing?

Jennifer

Holding steady at 189-190lbs. I am comfortable with it, but am still working on it. I don't have an exact goal anymore since I wanted to hit 190. Now, I'm more about trying to see what I look like. I'll take it 5lbs at a time and find what looks right for me. I hope everyone else is doing well.

Hey everyone, long time no see. Congrats on maintaining the weight Jennifer and grrl1nside!

I've gained a little since my last posts months ago. I did however sign up on spark people which has a mobile app this morning. It's been crazy to realize how much crap I eat like things as simple as a little bit of butter that I don't usually think about. Best of luck on reaching your goals everyone!

Glad to see you back again Andrew. Let's get after it!

Jennifer

I understand Andrew. Definitely, the little things when you figure them all up make a BIG difference. You found the butter, I had to toss the cream in all my coffee...

Well after getting down to 170 about a month ago, I'm back up to 178 this morning. But I'm back in the saddle again and tracking calories! If anyone is into tracking calories I'm using My Fitness Pal so if you do too please add me as a friend on there.

155 here I come!!
