  • 9,000 steps / why does it seem like a failure not to have gotten in 10,000 steps?

If that was ur goal then u have not reached it, but dont be strict on yourself

Sucks you didn’t reach your goal, but you were super close! Don’t beat yourself up about it, use it as motivation next time. Btw, where I am from the national health organization states 7 to 8 thousand steps a day. Just to put in perspective that the 10 000 steps is viewed differently all around the world and is not set in stone. And if you view it that way you crushed the goal ;-P

Help, I’m struggling! :(

I do intermittent fasting. I eat low kcal and low carb and cut down my portion size. I don’t snack(only 2 times since the bet started). Only zero soda’s or water. Cut down my caffeine. I do a high energy cardio workout at least 1 hour a day 5/6 days a week and walk in a fast pace a minimum of 30 minutes daily.

In the first week I lost almost 2% of my bodyweight already. But now my weight is back to where I started?! I weigh myself same time same conditions. Is this a common thing? I feel so demotivated… Still continuing w what I am doing tho(it should work in the long term right)…

Is there anyone who can explain this?

It is common to see the scale bounce right back up after a rapid initial drop, and you have not actually regained the fat you lost. What you are experiencing is a classic combination of exercise-induced water retention and a natural shift in fluid balance.When you push your body the scale becomes a very unreliable narrator. Stay strong don’t let the scale derail you - it might take a couple days but you’ll see loss again
