"Just getting started. Need to drop this weight to improve my health, feel better, have more energy.
1.Will start BFL today.
2.Will track intake on Lose It app
3.Will attend weight watchers for weigh ins"
"I’m back on track now with my weight loss, and now that PAW has finished I just know the weight will stay off. I will set another weight loss goal once this stint is over so I can continue towards the ultimate goal of 86kgs"
"Definitely feeling a bit on the tired side. I'm sure the more restless nights are adding to the change in caloric intake and change in micro nutrients. But it will work out in the end and I will be able to keep up with my son better. As he grows and starts to weigh more I will way less and we will balance out. Lol"
"Day 1
Have a planned 7 mile walk this afternoon...am going to create a meal plan for the week to reduce the possibility of grazing on unhealthy food..... am going to share my commitment with friends.... "
"This week I stayed stagnant finishing bench with 5 repetitions at 225 pounds. I feel that this is due to me completing a few more sets than usual before I got to my measurement weight of 225 because I was waiting for a friend to spot me for the heavier weight. To compensate my friend and I added a whole workout including bent over barbell rows until we burnt out."
"I didn't get a chance to weigh myself today (I'm probably lower than the weight I reported, but I'm on a trip. The weight I'm reporting is what I weighed yesterday."
"This commitment has been in the back of my mind, helping me to limit what I eat and to stay on track! I'm loving this so far. To think I weighed 10 lbs more and was inching toward 200... While I was on this diet before I started this contract, I lacked the motivation to follow through and only slowly lost weight. Seeing my progress is amazing and inspiring and thanks to "The Art of Manliness" blog for introducing me to this website. (The blog is a very good read, even for women!)"
"The bulimia i'm battling is strong these late weeks. From 84.5kg to 87.65kg in only 2 weeks. I gained 3kg in only 3 weeks. This is an indication of what i'm dealing with."
"Today I'm feeling down so have decided to create this to keep me going and working hard at what I'm doing!!!
Things with work are getting hard with the situation we are in at the moment but onwards and upwards let's do this XX "
"Actual 186... +1, not a great week. Life seems hard lately. Too mich tiptoeing around, trying to fly under the Rage Radar. Excuses excuses excuses. SAMARA!"
"Day one: I don’t want to look at this as a weight loss journey but rather an acceptance of myself and see what happens. I went to the gym today and did weights then a friend asked if I wanted to run. I said no it’s too cold!! And I was sweaty. But she really wanted to and I hadn’t run in soooo long that I decided to go. It was one of the best runs I had. She said to me WOw! You had a great pace I could barely keep up! It felt great. So glad I went"
"Started a morning HIIT program--helped to boost my energy and my ability to burn calories hours after my workout. My swimmers love the YOGA and Core dryland at night! This is happening!"
"Weight @ start was 111.8 kg
Current weight 106.2 kg - 4.2 kg from 1st target
Starting circumference 46 1/9, hasn't moved at all up to last week - finally this week down to 45 1/3.
Starting waist 41in - still no movement, in fact is 41 1/5in. so no comment.
Thighs more or less the same.
Most weight loss has been in my but and arms so far. Hope this trend is about to change."
"Continuously tracking down, this is a good thing. Even after an emergency cheat meal of fish and chips last night mixed with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignan"
"I didn't drink any beer all week. I did limit my portions. I missed two days of working out. I did eat pasta and 2 Garlic knots. I did eat 10 small pieces of chocolate. I did drink a 1/2 bottle of Whiskey at the KC game. I "
"I am pretty good about not eating after dinner, or 8 pm, except for days when I don't get home before 8 and eat a late dinner. I have snacked a little more this week, though not a lot. Nevertheless, my weight has remained stagnant."
"Spent 50 minutes on treadmill and another 20 minutes evening walk to reach the 10K steps per day goal. Finding this much time will be difficult. Need to ritualize this.
Restarted Freeletics after 6 months. Morpheus workout was killer fun HIIT.
Replaced lunch and breakfast with protein shakes and salad."
"It's frustrating... I have lost a total of 15.1 lbs. and this week, 1.5 lbs but I was hopping to look sooo skinny with 20 lbs less... but no! I guess I will keep going after losing the 20lbs :-( :-)"
"I had smoothie and ginger tea every morning. They keep me hydrated, full and energetic! I am now on Fasting-Mimicking diet. But after i finish it on Wed, on Thursday morning I am going to resume my green smoothie days! I really love to include them in my breakfast and lunch. I can feel my microbiome is really transforming!"
"I Will pay this money to ma anti-foundation, supporting people who deny climate change. This will stop me from relasping and wasting my time again. Weh I'm weak and tired mentally, next time I will simply take a nap instead of eating like crazy and watching shit online."
"Only got in 2 bootcamps last week so planning to get back to normal this week. Also remembered about the Friday fasting halfway through my breakfast so will set a reminder for this week. "
"I love green smoothies. I want to have them every morning even after the 9-day challenge. They really make me feel great!
But now I am on the 5-day Fast-Mimicking Diet. I felt really sleepy on day 1, probably due to the withdrawal of caffeine. I was craving for some bread as well. But at night the cravings was gone. I really like the L-bar -- they are so yummy and nutritious. Now it's day 2. I am constantly reminding myself "it's just 5 days! I can do it!" When I felt the cravings, I imagine the junk-food microbiome was screaming inside my gut. They were dying, while the healthy microbiome is thriving. When the craving is gone, I know now the healthy microbiome is really dominating! It makes me feel very great and motivated.
I will keep journaling until I finish the 5-day diet. I am looking forward to a refreshed me! "
"It finally feels like PAW is just about over, these last few days of sticking to my diet has felt easier without the emotional & psychological symptoms holing me back. There are still some mild symptoms but nothing I can’t handle now. I’ve got 4 more weeks of this commitment left to go, after which I will set another and commit to that.
Whoo hoo I feel so much better!"
