Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on August 30, 2015

Has my metabolism finally come back to life?? I'm suddenly losing weight this week for no real reason. I keep holding my breath as I weigh each morning, sure I've gained, but instead the number has gone down way more than it should have. This has gone on all week, so it doesn't appear to be a glitch. I'm not going crazy with the eating, but I'm so used to having to eat so little just to maintain, and almost nothing in order to lose. And the heat has prevented me from doing too much at the gym this week.

Well, I'll take what I can get, and continue to eat as well as I can. The weather will be back in the 80s this week so I'll be working my butt off again too! I was coming so close to completely losing this month's goals, but instead it looks like I'm going to overachieve!!!

Wonderful! The same has been happening to me... I've been trying to lose weight at about 1.5 lbs/week and suddenly lost 2 lbs over one day, even after weighing with two different scales. Don't you love water weight? :D Keep up the good work! A little extra motivation might be all you need to keep going. :)

I'm so happy for you! I love moments in weight loss like these. (They're very rare for me)

What are you doing to lose the weight? Eating plan? Certain workouts? I could use all the advice I can get at this point!

I stick to 1200 calories a day, mostly fish, chicken and vegetables. Fruit for snacks, or a Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt. I try to get in at least 12,000 steps a day, but I prefer to have some of that be at least 30-60 minutes of running or power walking. The last few nights I’ve had giant bowls of air popped popcorn with 1 TBS butter and a little salt – this is what I thought was going to hurt me, but so far so good. I’m not going to go crazy with the popcorn, but I’m really happy if I can use it for a snack every so often. I track every crumb in MyFitnessPal to make sure I’m doing what I think I am, and I especially watch out for ANY oil & butter because those add up REALLY fast.Oh! My newest trick is to keep fresh sugar snap peas in the fridge, and I’ve found they are great to munch on in front of the TV instead of mindlessly snacking on anything else (including popcorn!).
