A place for frugaleer fighting fitness & weight loss goals to gather

I’m a lb up on last time I posted. I’m just glad not to be gaining.

I’m off all treats except for once a week so that should help

End of March weigh in 11st 10lbs (164lbs)
exercise & food are good
hormones are all over the place and sleep is suffering too so going to focus on getting that right this week.

have a lovely weekend everyone

I’ve stopped weighting but got back to the gym last week. Probably weight about the same as you happier. I’m focusing on routine and nutrition

Hello please can I join the team here? I don’t have scales but know I’ve gained a lot since my daughter was about a year old (it wasn’t pregnancy that it it, seems to be the inactivity and poor eating that followed as busy mum!). I’m a bit ashamed at the gain - think about 20kg. Aiming to be 65kg again. I really don’t care how I look, but I feel sluggish and tired, my clothes don’t fit and I haven’t got the money for new bigger ones!! And also I want to be fitter and healthier for the long term. I’m 33, and have been a limb my whole life until now!
Im mainly existing on carbs at the moment, as it’s easy and I’m exhausted, but need to get better with variety, fibre, vitamins, and protein (like I used to be!).
healthy cold lunch (or super quick hot - microwave only) ideas welcome. Thanks

Small steps Hagen Change one thing at a time

Häagen welcome on board!
if you don’t want to weigh, a measuring tape will show change too.

like life says one thing at a time.

I’m a lapsed catholic but embraced lent this year in a bid to reset my snacking habits.

Despite the following a garmin training plan for half marathon and cutting out the rubbish scales is still not moving however I’m not bloated and am having malted wheats for breakfast every day for a fibre hit!

0.5lbs lost
13.1 miles run this week
According to my garmin I averaged 8h sleep over the 6 nights I wore my garmin to bed.

Random 4lb of. Nice surprise

Ooh nice

162lbs this morning down 1.5lbs for the week.

Ran 7.5k yesterday my longest distance so far in this training plan

Well done

eating aallll the carbs in Italy

I think eating malted wheats for breakfast instead of porridge with nuts and sultanas is helping, it’s tasteless but filling and lots of fibre

When in Italy that’s a given

Down 0.25lbs, it’s not a lot but I’ve a feeling that TOM is approaching as I’m emotional but it is an emotional week too so who knows. It’s not a gain that’s the main thing

@lifelongfrugaleerI’m ordering you to stay away from scales for at least a week after returning from Italy

Did I say all the carbs 😂

yes

So today I saw the other quarter of a lb down! My eating is a bit disordered this year but I’ve been eating malted wheats for breakfast and I think that’s helping with weight loss.

I’m back on it ish
my average steps last week was 17474. There are lots of hills in sorrento!

Wow that’s a lot of walking, you must have slept well by night!
another half lb lost this week
161lbs 11st 7lbs, hoping I can keep this streak going.

My cycle seems to be returning to normal, finally.

Not really as the bed was too firm for me. Every day was leg day :)
had an ibs attack for the first time in how long as well. 163 ish when I came back so 3 on. Proper start tomorrow or Monday though

Great news on the loss & cycle

ah no way what a pity.
seesh ibs attack too, what a holiday

IKR.

Saw 159lbs yesterday when I was dehydrated after running so not going to count it but good to know it’s coming.
back to work today after a week off, made my lunch last night!

did a 5 mile run with my friend yesterday which is keeping me on target for my half in July. Going to go out and do a 10k this weekend

Darn went to athletics club training and never hit go on my garmin!
