Weight loss and healthy eating requires some planning and purpose and an effort to include a variety of foods in your meals. Ready to make a commitment to lose weight and stickK to it?
"I let myself have both flour and sugar! I told myself lies, instead of walking through uncomfortable feelings. I can do the next right thing and not listen to the lies in my head!!"
"400 yards is out of my quarantine range so instead I did 20 x 175 yard runs. Got a great sweat in but need to get back into running because it wasn’t easy for me. "
"I eat only 2 meals per day now (about 20% less food per day) but I haven't noticed any changes in my weight yet. I hope in future I will lose some weight. Thanks for the support :-)."
"I did great ALL week. I was well below my target weight. Then, the day before the weekly report, I give myself a cheat day as a reward. I splurge. And now I'm 2 pounds over weight. SMH. No more cheat days for me..."
"2nd week of quarantine. Started exercising lightly, dumbbell and cardio home workouts. Set up a more consistent routine that coincides with animation/illustration activities. Need to eat better, but still figuring out. Mad that I'm maintaining but, under surreal/uncertain circumstances. Need to sleep earlier to get a head start on the day. Need to meal prep starting tonight to not rely so much on takeout food."
"Day 2: leg day
- Split squats very challenging
- couldn’t do the shrimp squats
- leg raises on core felt good
- some rep counts were too high for me."
"So far I have just barely made the commitment. I am hoping to actually stick to it this time. I've lost quite a bit of money to HealthyWage in the past and I don't want to keep doing that. I would love some support from the community, having friends and family support me did not actually help at all in the past. Yay for new things!"
"Yesterday I ate a tiny bit in between meals. I also have been adding a little bit more variety to what I eat in terms of number of items at night time. I need to keep this contained and keep it simple. I have lost about 7-8 pounds in the last two weeks."
"Doing pretty well i think, I’m running almost every day for at least a few miles and walking everyday, plus my job still keeps me pretty active.
I still feel fat, soft, out of shape, but at least i can see steady progress on the scale. I’m really hoping to be in the 160s by my birthday, May 19. I think it’s possible as long as I keep restricting in a disciplined manner everyday. Fasting after times when i feel i ate too much. I really need to see the number on the scale come down quickly, and I also really need to see results in the mirror so i can stand looking at myself and pictures of myself. Another motivation I’m finding is that I’m loving to see more vascularity in my forearms start to pop out. I’m hoping that it starts popping out in other places too...
179.8 lbs, somehow my body fat is still above twenty... 20.1% BF wtf. Oh well, just need to keep pushing harder "
"I am in confinement in Paris, and I am trying to exercise everyday in my apartment. This is not always easy! I have had some moments where I binged ate to feel better, but mostly I am trying to count my calories and check my portions. After this mornings croissant, as it was the first day I had left my house in 13 days... I feel like I am ready to get back in gear!"
"This last week, I fasted for 2 days in a row to make my weigh-in. After making weight, I ate 2 meals on the 3rd day. 3 eggs, half of a tomato, half of an avocado and 2 slices of bacon. For dinner I had 2 cups of chicken gumbo( chicken, black beans, kidney bean, corn, carrots, celery, onion, sweet peppers, a large green pepper, 2 cans of rotel, 2 cans of chicken broth and water. I couldn't have eaten more than 1500 calories and of those calories, very little in the way of carbohydrates....end result...today I got on the scale to see 1.8 lbs. gain. Two things that I have in my favor are: using Stickk to keep me honest, and a focused resolve to achieve my goal. Also, I'm no stranger to fasting. If push comes to shove, in the last 2 years I've fasted 3 times. 17 days= 27 lbs. lost, 7 days=17 lbs. lost, 5 days=10 lbs. lost. The problem with fasting though is when you begin refeeding. I've always gained back at least 5 lbs back.---In the final analysis, and to use an overused but appropriate cliche, "Rome wasn't built in a day!""
"I'm finding that there's not much of a fudge factor allowed with this weight loss challenge. If I cheat 1day a week, it's like a 4 lb. swing in weight loss that I have to make up after that. I've had to resort to fasting 1 or 2 days a week to make weight. I've incorporated exercise, both cardio, Hiit and weight training/calisthenics to help burn unwanted fat calories. Other than resorting to multi-day water fasting to shed the weight, losing 3 lbs. a week is proving to be challenging and the closer I get to my goal, the harder it will be to shed those last unwanted pounds. Also, being 69 years old, my metabolism is not as efficient as it was at age 30."
"With everything going on I somehow managed to lose the weight for this week it’s been hard but I am still committed in ended strong in the and there are only a couple more weeks to go "
"I am recommitting my goal today, March 26th...I am committing to no sugar or flour starting right now 3/26/2020 at 3;25 p.m. Thanks everyone for all your support!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!"
"I have to say that using Stickk is proving to be very effective at keeping me focused on the task at hand. This is 4 weeks now of stepping up to get the job done."
"Looks like intermediate fasting is working good I was afraid that my results would be different based on my cardio being cut back. It’s definitely not easy I kind of celebrated tonight and had a burger and fries. I didn’t feel good after so I don’t know about doing that again. Good in good out bad in bad out. Also started on core and legs work out hopefully that helps also I know this gonna sound stupid but playing beat sabers for an hour everyday get the heart pumping. "
"I’ve been failing to do this for a very long time, but I’m finally going to take the matter into my hands. I just need to learn some discipline, and all my dreams will come true."
