  • Spring is in full swing! The weather is warming up and it feels great.

    I know I have that renewed energy to get my body moving, get outside, and enjoy this season!

    How about you? What are you doing to move your body?

    Let us know if you're changing up your schedule, trying to get outside more, back in the gym, starting a new program or videos that you love, etc...

Trying to add a second walk when I can.

I joined my friends tiny at-home CrossFit gym. I wouldn’t ever lift heavy weights otherwise! I also go to the Y and occasionally play pickleball.

You don't have to do an official weigh-in if you'd prefer not to. Also, if you are close to your goal, you do have all day tomorrow to weigh-in as well!

Thanks!!

After two months of just missing goal I made it for Round 4!
I’m also having that weird experience where you go down a size, which is exciting - but all of a sudden your clothes now feel tighter - it’s really playing mind games with me.

My usual strategy is calorie counting, but I was getting burned out in many areas of my life, so I dropped it this month, logging only seven days early on. By some miracle, I'm on track to win this month. I just have to somehow not go wild this weekend.

I've mostly eaten whole foods, but I've also had some junk, some highly calorific desserts, and some days when I had four full meals instead of three. Since I don't know exactly how everything worked out (I did gain weight around the middle of April), I can't leave this weekend to chance, so I need to track again.

I'll probably have to keep tracking for the rest of the game, too. That final goal is a stretch. It'll be nice when I can switch to maintenance after hitting it!

That’s the best way to lose weight! Somehow just calorie counting feels sustainable past the game, and I’ll be able to keep the weight off.

I did extremely well the first 3 months of this challenge, and lost quite a bit of weight.

However, I've been on a plateau for nearly 3 weeks now. I'm not eating more than usual, and I'm still exercising almost everyday.

I need to find a way to kick the metabolism back into gear.

Getting a little discouraged to tell you the truth.

The body is great at adapting to consistency, and protecting itself from weight loss.

For our ancestors weight loss probably meant no food was available, and slowing the metabolism is the body trying to protect you from death. It actually means your body is doing exactly what it is supposed to!

Research doesn’t support cheat meals, and some studies suggest they cause more harm than good. Watch your numbers and give it time. Best results come from simple diet and exercise consistency. Don’t be discouraged my man, keep working hard and be consistent, it will continue to pay off.

Also, you’ve already lost a ton of weight! So don’t cut off your leg :laughing:, you’ll need it for those hikes!

A few things could be happening:

1. You aren't eating any more than usual, but you've lost so much weight that it's time for you to eat a bit less in order to hit your desired deficit.

2. You've become more efficient with your preferred exercise and are no longer burning the same amount of calories (and that's not even accounting for burning less because you weigh less). That could require more intensity in your workouts or a bit less food to reach the desired deficit.

3. It's just one of those pauses and you'll drop a bunch in a few days. I tend to think that happens to women more often, what with our fluctuating hormones, but it certainly happens to men too.

1 lb away! I always feel like I’m making a big push the last week to lose the last pound. 😂

  • I am officially 20lbs down since the start of the game! My goal weight for this diet bet is less than 10lbs away!

    My final goal is about 22lbs - but once I get closer I’ll decide what to do.

    Left is the start of this game and right is today!
