Initial: 229.2 Week 1: 228.8 Week 2: 225.6 Week 3: 223.8 Going to an all inclusive next week so let's see how much I can drop in the next week before blowing it back up.
Daily weight... 233.4 -> 234.2 [takes 3 shits, steps/diet on point, okay I've got to lose weight tomorrow] -> 234.6
For the first time since the contest started the gummy got me haha Trying to limit my munchies to a salad and ninja creamy
Not a great week for me and next week I’m out of town with work meetings and lots of eating out. 233.4
Week 0: 256.2 Week 1: 245.8 (-10.4) Week 2: 241.2 (-15) Week 3: 238.0 (-18.2) Week 4: 234.4 (-21.8) Was actually as low as 233.0 on Saturday morning, but the weekend got away from me a little bit. Also, could use some coffee/fiber if you catch my drift. Wont complain about losing a couple lbs though
Kept at 13k steps and 2200 cals in addition to lifting. Goal was 230, so close. Ideally be sub 220 by end of month. Week 0 - 251.2 Week 0.5 - 245.4 Week 1 - 241.4 Week 2 - 239.2 Week 3 - 236.4 Week 4 - 231.2
Whats the secret for the weekends? Self discipline? lol Would think it would be easier to go for a Peloton ride, since I have more free time, but I don't. Also eat bad.
Speaking for myself, weekends are usually bad because I’m either hanging at home (bored/mindless trips to the kitchen), or we might go out to dinner because nothing else is going on. I’m the same way with working out on weekends, basically convince myself I just want to relax and maximize the weekend instead. Truly, just being at work helps me because I don’t have access to snacks and am more likely to just stay at my desk most of the day. Where at home, even if I’m working I may have to walk by the kitchen to let the dogs out or goto the bathroom etc. I’m trying not to go this route this time around, but in the past I’ve gone super hard/discipline M-F, then eat whatever on weekends and I’d still lose weight. The issue was it opened up a mindset where I’d be stuffing myself on weekends just to cram in all the bad food before Monday hit.
I try to keep the same schedule. Meal timing, wake up, working out, etc. It's def harder. Started a little "Take what you want, eat what you need mindset". Know I'm going to eat pizza for dinner? Trying to plan out that's 600 cals and not much protein so I need to load protein shakes before going out to hit my macros and also feel full/satiated when I'm at the restaurant. Helps a bit w/ overeating while I'm out. Not drinking helps a ton b/c you're not in a recover state
intermittent fasting has helped me the most on weekends (though I was 194 on Saturday morning and 195+ today....). not eating a shitty first meal / not eating till 12 usually keeps me from adding too much.
I do this most days tbh. I’m fine being a little hungry early in the day as long as I don’t go to bed hungry/eat a big dinner.
Neighbor brought over an absolutely incredible loaf of jalapeño cheddar sourdough oh fuck off/thank you so much
What’s the strategy/secret to get that many steps? Or do you mostly just set aside time to walk outside/on a treadmill? My fiancé got one of those treadmills for her desk because she saw it on TikTok and I’m thinking about using that on days I work from home. Just kind of mindlessly walk, and anything I do is better than sitting.
I have a standing desk and thought about getting one of those. But I get up around 6 and go on a 45 min walk. Take my son to school and come home lift before work starts at 9am Then try to get in a 20-30 minute walk during a meeting or in-between calls of "lunch" Then walk for 20min at night before I get my son. Sometimes take him on a walk or some kind of park trip. Currently at 16,000
Nice, that actually seems more realistic (for me) than expected. It’s tough to get outside and walk here in the winter (although it was 50 yesterday) so trying to think of ways that aren’t going to the gym/treadmill.
Yeah, those mornings when it was 15-18 in Atlanta were a bit rough. Balaclava and layers made it doable. That felt like ages ago (2 weeks) and it was 67 today, almost broke a sweat.
Went back into my scale app and grabbed the lowest weigh in i could find for each week, then weighed myself this morning. Should be up to date. Week 0: 180.9 Week 1: 174.2 Week 2: 173.4 Week 3: 171.5 Week 4: 172.8
Can’t complain about “only” losing 0.6lbs this week, first weekend I kind of just ate whatever (still much less than I usually would)…today I feel terrible though so hopefully I remember that next time. Was almost sub 230 on Friday though. Week 0: 256.2 Week 1: 245.8 (-10.4) Week 2: 241.2 (-15) Week 3: 238.0 (-18.2) Week 4: 234.4 (-21.8) Week 5: 233.8 (-22.4)
Down 25 lbs since right before new year, 23 since NYD. Kept consistent. Steps high, lifted 6x, ate ~2200 cals. Had to travel one day, but worked out at the hotel gym and still got 12k steps in and bunch before flying out thanks to the ATL airport and just walking to my gate. Meal prep for trips now and just take a ton of protein, go to a kroger or market and expense yogurt and milk and fruit vs meals. Ate a Salmon Salad at the hotel. GLP1 helps cravings. Week 0 - 251.2 Week 0.5 - 245.4 Week 1 - 241.4 Week 2 - 239.2 Week 3 - 236.4 Week 4 - 231.2 Week 5 - 228.0
Didn’t want to enter because it would violate my Hippo-cratic oath but I am down 12 lbs in 3 weeks after starting zepbound, currently sitting at 207. Eating essentially all protein and very little carbs, trying to lift weights every day. Portion size, urge control, and stress eating are where the medicine has helped the most. Feels good to lose the weight, even if I’m cheating. Congrats to all on the weight loss, wasn’t strong enough to do it on my own.
I’ve been doing way better with diet and not drinking during the week. Had a couple bourbons tonight, and no exercise. Interested to see the scale tomorrow morning!
Week 0 - 251.2 Week 0.5 - 245.4 Week 1 - 241.4 Week 2 - 239.2 Week 3 - 236.4 Week 4 - 231.2 Week 5 - 228.0 Week 6 - 225.0
Terrible weekend not thrilled with myself but at least I didn’t gain any compared to last week. Week 0: 256.2 Week 1: 245.8 (-10.4) Week 2: 241.2 (-15) Week 3: 238.0 (-18.2) Week 4: 234.4 (-21.8) Week 5: 233.8 (-22.4) Week 6: 233.8 (-22.4)
I’m not participating but I weigh myself every morning regardless. Yesterday I was 198 today I was 206, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bigger one day swing. This post is sponsored by Papa John’s
