So, after tons of steps, rowing, lifting weights, and the elliptical (and no injuries) I pulled something today plugging in a cable at my mother's retirement home.  I'd moved a dresser (no issues) and was going down to the floor and my foot slipped on the laminate.  Not entirely sure what I pulled, but definitely on the upper hip.  Steps hurt, getting up and down hurt... argh...

I put heat on it (felt better) and spent some time in the hot-tub, but at the moment it still hurts.  Definitely going to interfere with exercise for today at least.  I probably won't eat -1000 calories for today unless I can get moving a little tonight (doubt it), so I'll likely be over today.  Anyway, the week was pretty good overall.  I ate over calories on Tuesday and didn't count on Wed when I had a rest day.  I was definitely over that day.  So, all in all I'm quite happy with the week.

Now, I have to go finish some laundry so I have something to wear tomorrow.  The rest of the laundry can wait.

A good week.  I figured I would stay around the same or drop a touch and I was right.  The Christmas sins are in the past and we have moved on.  I get most of my steps in at work and we have had some brutal cold (below -40 with the windchill - which is the same in f and c) so the weekends have been hard to be as active as I don't have any home exercise equipment.  I have taken up yoga and while it does not register as much on my fitbit, it's a great strength and toning exercise and I love it.

Hi Everyone and my best wishes of success to all of you.  The struggle is real but we can do it with help from our buddies. 

This will be my start week for this weekly weighin: 

highest weight 212 lbs. 

goal weight  144  (I am a short old guy, 5'4" with 76 fun filled years)

this morning weight 161.6 pounds 

I have been shooting at 10K steps a day for about 10 months now and reaching it most of the time.  Just started weight training about 5 weeks ago; simple machine workout but it is nice to push my old muscles a bit.   Oh, I live in Louisiana and love to eat gumbo.

Keep your eye on the goal people, keep your eye on the goal.   !!!

[whitesox]

I'm back. Fell off the wagon.

So here's the last few weeks:

2 weeks ago: 185.5 Weekly Avg

1 week ago: 184.7 Weekly Avg

This Week: 180.8 Weekly Avg

Goal around 160.

[Mythyme]

Planning to join you.  First weigh in next Monday, January 23

@whitesox, great to have you back!  It looks like you didn't put too much back on so just time to get back at it.  I was wondering where you had went.  Accountability helps, good to see you posting again.

[tamado]

@sierradreamin17 that's great!  How sugar free are you going?
ie: 
- No adding sugar from a canister? (that seems obvious)
- Sugar from fruit?
- Sugar from processed food? (even non "sugary" things - are you watching for that?)

My point is, there's sugars in so much of the "food" they sell us these days and I am curios how you are going about being sugar free and what that means to you.

I eat minimal sugar these days but I do allow myself some fruit daily.  I have less than a 1" square piece of dark chocolate after dinner sometimes, that kind of thing.

Well I am not even gonna pretend about my weight today. I am just sadly disappointed! I have expressed my disappointment to my precious Lord. As we are on this Daniel Fast and I can promise you we have not had 1 bite of anything we are not suppose to. We have ate only fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and 100% whole grains and only drink water. So I guess the big lose last week is suppose to make up for it, but I can't lie that I was more than disappointed. BUT I do know we all have the fluctuations, so I am going to try to stay positive and go forward. Today is day 16 of my 21 day Daniel Fast. I will complete my 21 days with praise and honor to my Lord and continue to work on my weight loss.

Be patient with yourself and your diet. Love the food you eat and your way
of eating it. It is hard to be patient but that is indeed a virtue we all
need when teaching our bodies new ways to eat. Yeah, easy for me to say,
eh? but we are supporting you for sharing. Stay with it.

Where should a beginner start when wanting to try to firm up some flab. I have lost 45 pounds and now have giggly flab in my stomach, inner thighs and underside of the arms. I would like to start working on this, but as of now really the only exercises I have been doing is walking. Where do you start as a beginner? I still have 40 more pounds to lose so I know this will only get worse unless I can start working on it now. So before you advise, I will give you my back ground as to me saying I am a beginner. I was NEVER active when young. I hated sports, I hated outside.. Yes I am an odd duck..lol. After adult hood set in, I have had a sedentary job for all of my adult life (still do). So there is not much physical activity in my day outside of walking 30 to 60 minutes a day. I work 40+ hours a week, I am raising a grandson, I am a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, so it seems life is ALWAYS so busy, but not with anything that is going to help me lose weight or tone up...lol. SO I need a plan to start for a true beginner. I want to make a plan and devote time to it and I want to become a healthier person so I can be a better person to each of them that depend on me. I am open for any suggestions.

Congratulations on your 45 pound loss, @HeartBiller!

To get rid of "giggly flab" excess fat has to be lost (which you are working towards already) and muscles need to be strengthened. To help with the latter, I recommend starting out with a beginner bodyweight training routine. If you google "bodyweight training", you'll find lots of articles. Here's one to get you started - Beginner Body Weight Workout. These types of exercises are very beginner-friendly, don't require a gym membership or any specialized equipment. You can do some of them anywhere, even at work, if you have an employee lunch/lounge area. 

Aside from helping you with the giggly flab issue, strength training will boost your metabolism and preserve lean body mass as you continue to lose weight. I highly recommend incorporating it in some fashion into your weekly exercise regimen!

[HeartBiller]

@AuroraKatThanks. I will definitely check this sight out when I get home.

[SunsetRunner]

Not of to a great start but not aiming to loose much either.

SW: 77 kg ~ 169.7 lbs 19% B.F.  (April 2016)

LW: 70.4 kg ~ 155.2 lbs 13.3% B.F.

CW: 70.4 kg ~ 155.2 lbs 13.5% B.F.

GW: 68 kg ~ 150 lbs 12 % B.F.

Had my ups and downs since earlier this month and ended up netting out zero. I consider a B.F. % change of under about 0.8% - 1.0% to be essential no change at all.

However I did accomplish a 10 km run in under 1 hour. Last year I was running 10 km in about 1:02:00, last weekend I did it in 0:59:46. Straight jogging no walking breaks on rolling terrain.

@SunsetRunnerCongrats on the new PR!

I think this is the last of my holiday weight coming off. Things should proceed at a more realistic pace from now on. Took another set of measurements today (in centimetres, since it's easier). The "size lost" is cumulative from various points on my body, not just from any one spot.

Starting Weight: 195.4 lbs
Current Weight: 191.6 lbs
Weight Lost this Week: 1.4 lbs

Size Lost this week: 6.7cm / 2.64 in

Total Weight Lost: 3.8 lbs

Total Size Lost: 6.7cm / 2.64 in
Mini-Goal: 180 lbs
Goal Weight: 150 - 160, depending on how I feel at 160.

[AuroraKat]

Weigh-in day!

Start:           253 lbs

Last Week: 173.2 lbs

This Week: 171.8 lbs

Change:      - 1.4 lbs

Total Loss:  - 81.2 lbs

Goal :          125

Lost below average, but with last week's 3.8 pound loss, I'd be surprised at anything more. Last Wednesday I also increased my calories by 100, so we'll see how that effects my loss during the upcoming few weeks. Once I have some data points, I plan to add another 100 calories sometime next month.

My mini goal for this month is to get below 170, which is also the official transition from obese to overweight for my height. I only have one more weigh-in to go, so I'm not sure if I'll make it. We'll see next week, I suppose!
