Weight Loss / Re: 170s Club
Last post by Andrew -
weight is 170.4 today. it seems to have settled so I dont expect anything lower. Had a hamburger today with pasta salad. The proportion for the pasta salad was larger than I wanted but I finished it. Im trying to be more flexible and appreciative for the things that are made for me. Its just 1 day out of 7 so hopefully I can eat a little less next time.

I forgot to post my weekly update on Tuesday.
My 2025 goals-
Lose 6kg. I have lost 3kg in January.
Eat within a 12 hour window. I do this almost every day.
Weigh myself once a week (ignorance is not bliss). Yep. Probably 2-3 times.
Take blood pressure at least once a week. A few times a week.
Drink at least 2 litres of water a day. I do, but must drink more in the morning.
See a physio & come up with a doable daily exercise plan & actually do it. Looking forward to my ap't next week.
Walk Archie every day, even if it's raining and/or cold. G takes him for a walk if I play golf.
January 2025-
Alcohol-free. I have done well with this. I only had 2 drinks at a memorial event with a very good friend & will add the 1st of Feb as AF.
Log everything. Haven't missed a day.
I will try to stop-
Worrying so much. This is the hardest of all. I'm trying.
I'm thinking about my 2025 goals, with a February amendment. I think they'll be-
My 2025 goals-

Weigh myself once a week (ignorance is not bliss).

Say yes more than I say no.

Oh, well done! I am checking in today because I'm feeling a lot better mentally - though not physically.
Quote from: Llama – on
- Replace sweets with fruit and chips with crackers plus a protein on most days to reduce binging.
* Some days. But I also binged.
- Family exercise twice a week, a proper hike once a week, and walking to work and back most days.
* Yup.
- Weigh myself every Monday morning and take my blood pressure every Sunday night.
* Didn't take my bp tonight because my atomach is so upset it won't give me useful information. Will do it tomorrow morning instead.
- Focus on one thing rather than having 3 only half-engaging things running simultaneously.
* Yup.
- Try one new social thing every month.
 * Went to knitting group! Need to be thinking about a goal for next month.
- Shoulder exercises twice a week.
* Yup. Shoulder is feeling a lot better, actually. Shouldn't be on my phone while lying on my belly, but it doesn't hurt!

@Marsia no worries. You have a lot going on right now. Like you said it will be easier after the move and you are settled.
My weight today was 169.8.  my weight keeps fluctuating between 169-170 stuck so Id really like to see 168.

Sorry, Andrew, I am so preoccupied with our move that I haven't been doing the 180s club for a while.  I am back up to 183 and can't focus on diet as much for this month, but I'll get serious about it again after the move.  I do think you are doing great, and I hope you can also build up a little muscle mass with some fun exercises that you enjoy.  When you post about how winded you get doing aerobic things or that hike on that gorgeous mountain, I remember being sad about that for myself in the past.  I am sure you can get in good shape if you try things out on Youtube and see what sort of exercises you like doing from home.  There's just so much out there like mini-trampoline jumping videos, all sorts of dance, yoga for flexibility and strength, pilates for core strength, hand held weights, calisthenics of all different types, stretching and strengthening of all types, ...  Not that I think you have to do these things, just if you feel like experimenting, there is just so much there to try!

My weight popped back up to 170.2 again so im glad I didn't create a 160s club yet. Maybe if I can get 168 or so I will start a new thread.
