i saw how busy you have been in the workout section, very impressive! i totally understand about the 'outside' thing, i am exactly the same way. did you ever come up with a final routine? one thing to ponder, how will your diet change to reflect the extra 'muscle' work? you are getting serious as all get out now, can't wait to hear about the results! truly an inspiration!

on another note, is your dog as in shape as you are? i know u have to be running it also!!!!!

LOL! My dog is the fasted animal you could possibly see run when it comes to a squirrel or cat. Lightening speed....
and..
I have yet to completely figure out my routine. Still tweaking.

Thanks OOCajun!

3 Weeks after my challenge during which I lost 21.2 pounds

Week 16: Holding 23.2 pounds lost

Have been so much more social since the end of my 91 day challenge since I pretty much quarantined myself during it so I could focus entirely on losing the 20 pounds. So getting back out into "life" has been another challenge.

I am happy to report that I am holding strong yet having to keep my eye on the ball too.

This is my challenge now. Real life and eating correctly while in it.

you will be fine dahlin'. if i am doing it, you certainly can. i now try to plan for those events. i may go run that extra mile to have that drink i want. we have waaaaaay tooooo much in common!!!!!!

[Buddhabody]

Always stay focused on your goal. Good luck and many wishes of continued success!!!!!!!!!!

[Twist]

So are you just maintaining now Slimmer?

[SlimmerMe]

Thanks Budda~ Appreciate your good wishes!

So are you just maintaining now Slimmer?

Good question Twist. For now I am trying to either maintain and/or lose a few more pounds slowly. I want to hang here for awhile so I get used to the 23 pound weight loss for ex: my skin keeping up with it etc. For now I want to keep off what I have done as I am so much more social in the summer with temptation after temptation. So if I can keep off the weight during this time I will be thrilled. (Since my challenge I have lost another 3 which tells me I am still on track.)

I have a question I might post in another thread so I get more opinions re: set point.

4 Month Milestone:

25 pounds lost!

(originally lost 21.2 during my 3 month challenge so I have lost 3.8 since then, one month later )

Right on target. I want to continue this slower pace on purpose so my skin stays tight plus enjoy life a tad bit more.

love to see you post up new numbers! now i know you said you don't like to shop, but 25 pounds! i suggest that you get rid or goodwill some of your old clothes, but keep some around to remind. your body needs something new to fit it!!!!!! congrats girl!

[baseline_9]

and idea on what your BF% is @ slim?

I want to imagine what you look like...

Not in a creepy way LOL

I know you were asking from a scientific point of view! And to answer your question, I do not know. I might have to go get checked out to find out. We girls are so different from you guy's BF. I can usually guess within a point or 2 when looking at the member's photos as I do this to sharpen my skills. I do know this: A LOT LESS BF THAN 4 Months ago!

THANKS BASE~

THANKS KJ! Glad you are back...hope all is well.

YAY!! good work and good inspiration.. are you still posting your food? will that change as the weights change? getting good support for the tweeking?

Thanks qk~ I am not posting food for now. I did for 91 days and now I want to see how I behave without doing so. For now I am trying my best to maintain for awhile. And the tweaking I got and still get whether thru my thread or others is stellar.

[SlimmerMe]

Another week

Maintaining 21.8 lost

A bit has crept back on since my lowest weight loss of 25 pounds which was one of those "low weigh-in days" which shocked me but never-the-less I am a bit concerned. I admit I have not been the best kid on the block lately. A bit too much partying along with less cardio.

Good news: I have been training more with a PT and she is really pushing me. I am swimming more too.

This hot weather along with too many social summer activities has gotten to me I confess.

Bring it on boys and girls!

It happens, don't beat yourself up but DO nip it in the bud. If you allow it to go too far and get out of hand, you'll be on a slippery slope. You know i'm speaking from experience. Like Base always says, we have to remain sharp - and that means if we DO slip up, get right back on the wagon and don't fall into old/bad habits.

You got this!!!

Hey great progress Slimmer..I have been away from site for a while so I didnt even know you were keeping a log..Looks like you are really gaining speed to reach your goal...
I see we share a common weakness as far as the ideal diet guidelines go...FRUIT...No matter what level of nutrition I am at I cannot give up my fruit..
I was raised in Ohio where my backyard ended into like 10 plus acres of woods which hosted so many different fruits.Several types of apples,plums pears rasberries, blacberries, boysenberries,strawberries,grapes,nuts you name it we had it besides citrus of course..
Anyways I attribute my overall size and growth to the fact that I didnt eat chips and candy as most kids do I feasted on natural tree ripened fruits on a daily bases..
So they are engraved in my daily life and will not ever give them up. I eat several kinds of fruit on a daily basis to this day.

I know the carbs and sugars are not the best for me but they keep me away from snickers and cheetos..heheheh..
Anyways glad to see you are making great progress and more importantly seem to remain happy doing it...congrats!!!

[qkcam]

Slimmer you have done great in 90days!!! i hope i can follow in your footsteps.. i think fruit is good for us. - other wise it wouldn't grow on trees.

[GirlyGymRat]

girl...so you took a little break and the best part of summer has arrived. I think you would NOT want to be putting up a post in September..

MAINTAINING 15 pounds lost....was once down 25 but I couldn't resist the summer parties and the wine. I thought I was really enjoying myself, but only wished I had listened to my pal girlgymrat back in early august...

Now just get back the focus you had when you started!!!! You can do this!!! We can do this together girl!!!!

That's a lot of fruit! And I agree. Fruit keeps me sane. Thanks for stopping by~

I just made a decision: I need to log in again. I plan to start TODAY.

I had no other choice. I need to get back into this and this is the best thing I can do right now.

I plan to log in daily for at least 2 weeks.

[qkcam]

remember too as females we deal with water retention and big hormone shifts that effect our weight. awareness is good.. and sometimes the pendulem has to swing far and wide before it finds balance.. lifestyle change-- as you tell me! you are exploring different ways of living, and being social is good.. and challanging with the food/drinnk aspect-- ... yet a part of being human- lifestyle change and being healthy - going for balance of all kinds in the human realm (i am a horrible speller) keep coming back!

[SlimmerMe]

^^Balance is key. A lesson to learn. A BIG BIG LESSON~
