Reaching my target weight


RithiaAllen

Recommended Posts

Had a good double day workout day today.  Today on RIPT90 was a stretch day workout.  I felt nice a loose and comfortable.  I then went into doing the Alexis Ren Ab workout and that my stomach feel sore, but I know something is working.  My weigh in for today is 213 which is the same as yesterday.

 

Cannot wait till I see my Endo later on today to go over my numbers and see what there scale will say.  But the weigh in at the doctors office will be in the afternoon so my weight will be higher in the afternoon.

Hopefully your doctors appointment went well Amy. ?

 

Today I weighed in at 182.9 pounds. Little by little I am chipping away at the weight.

Thank You.  The doctors scale read yesterday 216lbs.  But my appt was in the afternoon and I did have lunch and breakfast and I know that you weigh more in the afternoon than morning.  But my doctor did congratulate me on the weight loss from when I last saw her in Nov. I was 230lbs and now at 216 to them.  I told them what I am doing.

 

My endo agrees with the choice of the Diabetic's cookbook that I am using and it is a grate way to plan meals and eat healthy.  My blood pressure is normal and then I was so calm in the office that the finger heart beat reader was not reading me and thinking I was dead, so they had to get me the old fashion way with the 2 fingers on my neck.

 

My Endo took me off the progesterone since it has been since Nov. and I have not noticed anything from that other than bloating.  So we took me off the progesterone.

 

Other than that, I like what the doctor's office scale said, My endo is impressed with me cutting soda, alcohol, fast food, processed foods since December.

That’s fantastic. With less bloating you should also feel better too.

 

Today I weighed in at 182.5 pounds so my weight loss continues.

Good news Amy. And Natalie you’re withering away quite nicely. Lol. I’m skiing today so that’s my workout. I haven’t been on skis in 25+ years! But it’s like riding a bike. I swapped to a board when I was 14. So it’s been a good while. Lol. But my son skis and I told him I’d ski with him. Wish I was riding though. 

No idea what my weight is. But I’m feeling skinny. Abs are tight but not visible yet. But getting there. I don’t have a lot of weight on me anymore that I can lose. So it’s all strength now. ?

I think I am catching something, cause I have missed everyday of my workout routines so I am feeling sad, but yet, I have not been feeling good with a sore throat and runny nose.  I have not been eating much.  I have been trying to keep up my eating good and drinking alot of fluids like OJ and water.  But I have been sleeping alot.  When I stood on the scale to see my weight, I must be not feeling right cause I lost 5lbs since Monday and have not worked out and yet I am not really eating so yes I must be catching something.

Sorry you’re feeling sick Amy. But yaaayyyyy on the weight loss. 

 

I weighed in today. Same as I was on the first. Literally no change as of this morning. Talk about a plateau. I am still getting good activity days every day. I am eating about 11-1200 cals a day (protein shake, salad, and healthy dinners with fruit for snacks daily) and nothing. No changes. So idk. But I’m gonna keep going how I am. It is very healthy. I am much stronger than a couple months ago. And I am losing fat. I’m just about down my 6th belt loop since like Xmas. But I’m apparently adding muscle for all the fat lost. Or I’m just the ultimate plateauer. ?. I’d really like to drop that 14.8 pounds still, but it’s just not working. Idk. The weather is changing here so I’m hoping to get back into running at lunch every day. Maybe that’ll push me past this whatever it is. ??

Mine does, but I have tile not wood

My apartment has that crappy fake wood floor but the house in Virginia has hard wood floors in most of the house. Once the house is sold I can buy something nice in Texas and be done with the move.

 

It has been a tough second half of the week and over the course of three or so days I have lost a grand total of .1 pounds and weighed in at 182.4 pounds. I guess a loss of weight is a loss of weight but dang. My caloric intake has been roughly 1000 to 1100 a day and I have been burning 2800+ calories a day. I should be losing weight. The only thing I can figure is I am retaining water.

I reached a mile stone today in starting the loss of the next pound. Today I weighed in this morning at 181.9 pounds. Roughly 41.9 pounds to go. How cool is it that I am almost under 40 pounds to go? A few months ago it was over 50 pounds to go. :D

Way to go Rithia.  I am saving my weigh in till Monday since I do it on a weekly basis now.  I know it is not going to look good since early in the week I was not feeling good and now I am feeling good but suffering from the AZ allergies with the pollen count.  But I have picked back up on the workout's with RIPT90 and feeling good.  The whole time I was sick and now allergies, I did not let my eating habits go out the window.  I still ate healthy and I think that is what helped me recover pretty fast.

 

Today I did the Alexis Ren Ab workout and was able to stay with it for the full 10min.  My abs are still feeling it, but I love the way how it feels.

Link to comment

Today's weekly weigh in is still at 214lb.  After not working out last week with being sick and then AZ allergies, I ready to double up the workout.  But I am happy that I did not gain weight either.  Even though I was sick and still ate.  I ate healthy still and watched my portions.  Since I have been controlling my portions, I am finding that it is natural for me to eat smaller portions and I can no longer eat full size meals.

Just finished my workout on RIPT90.  This Body Fat Burning was tough.  During the workout, my HR got up to 122bps and now cooling down and letting my HR come back down to normal

Nice job Amy.

 

I was meaning to post my weigh in here but got wrapped up with work. So today my weigh in was 180.8 pounds. I’m so close to being under 180 now. ?

Have not posted in awhile.  Today I started to add running to my routine.  Since I have not jogged or ran in awhile.  My boss told me about a good app to get me back started and it is a nice app.  I am doing the couch to 5k and the app that I am using is the C25K.  Day 1 Week 1 was a total of 30min.  5min for warm ups, then it was a mix of 1min jog, 1.30 walk and you do it for 8 times and then a 5min cool down.  I am feeling very well and ready for more workout.  I am thinking on adding some Alexis Ren ab workout now to work my core.  Here is my hear rate for the jog and walk for 20min

I am still at my same weight. I am not losing anything. But I will say that my hips have really started growing the last month or so. And my muscle definition continues to get better. But alas there’s just no weight loss right now. It’s just so weird. I’m on a 1200 cal a day diet, I have 2 meals a week max that don’t fit into that. And one is sushi so it’s not like they’re bad meals when I’m not being strict. I’m getting exercise 5-6 days a week. And I’m looking thin #AF, but I’m just stuck at this 182-185 weight. Idk what else I can do. 

Literally this is my food 

breakfast- protein shake

lunch 3 cups of salad with 2tbsp of dressing 

snack- fruit 

dinner- portion controlled meal with 1 carb, 1 protein, and 1 veggie serving. No food after dinner and around 100fl oz of water a day. 

I am doing a 30 minute workout every day and I’m pushing hard plus many days I end up well over my 10k steps. Yesterday I was almost 16k steps for gods sake. 

So idk. I’m at a loss. My coach says the same thing. It’s just not working right this second for whatever reason. But I’m healthy. I feel great. I look pretty good (still no visible abs) and I can outlast the boys now too when we are running around outside! Which is awesome and  if you have sons you know how hard that is! 

So I really am at a loss with this. But I’m happy that my lifestyle is changed. It’s so clean and healthy. And that’s really what I’m most proud of for why I’ve accomplished since we started. No more fast food. 1-2 pieces of pizza vs a whole pizza, 3-4 servings of veggies every day. 2 of fruit as well. No candy. No chips. None of that crap. And I made it thru March alcohol free! Well I will make it to Saturday the 30th. We have a charity event and it’s open bar so that’s when I’m done. But in 7 weeks now I’ve had 1/2 of a light beer and nothing else. And that was feb 27th which was my sons family birthday party. So it was social more than anything. I may do this again sometime. Maybe June. Idk. Its a fun challenge to test out.

Way to go @Kirsten on your life style change and also going the month alcohol free.  I with you on feeling like I am not losing anything either.  For myself, I have been alcohol free since December 1 with the exception of my birthday.  But I have been alcohol free, soda free, fast food free, processed food free since December and I am feeling better.  Since March 1st, I have really upped my workout routine even harder where I can say that I am burning 1000 calories a day and eating 1400 calories a day.  Been making alot more home made meals, I have apples, and plain yogurt with mixed berries for snack, Been eating alot more veggies and have cut my carbs way down lower and even changed out my bread from white to whole wheat.  But what I am really proud of with myself is the fact that I am no longer a slug and feel energized, healthy, feeling good, and love how my refrigerator has done a complete 180 from having no veggies and fruits to now I am packed with veggies and fruits.  The funny thing is that I have a un-open bag of lays chips still sitting in my cupboard that I have not touched since I bought them back in December.  Wonder if they are any good.

 

I love how I am feeling

Overall you guys are rocking out. Don’t give up from not losing weight.

 

Today my weigh in was 179 pounds.

I had a solid talk about my weight with my doctor this week. And I feel much better about everything now. I am at 182 and that’s technically 3 pounds too high for a female my size, but that’s to be expected. She says my body fat % is definitely below 15% which I guess is good. And my BMI is also on the top end of the scale for me, but once again very understandable being a first year trans woman. I am down a total of 7 belt loops right now from Jan 1st. And my size 10 pants are even a bit loose in the waist. So I am truly happy about where I am for once. I do have some sagging skin from all of the weight loss, but she thinks it’ll tighten up if I keep with sensible meals and regular exercise. 

 

Monday my group is starting a new workout routine and I’m going to do it as well. I’m even going to do it with them at 4am! It’s gonna be crazy, but I am excited to say I did it. It’s only 3 weeks for this series, but I’m hoping I like the early early morning workouts. Plus if I do, it leaves the entire evening for running now that the weathers changing. We will see. 

Nothing else is any different. Doing videos or something every day, still eating very healthy (shake, salad, fruit, sensible dinner) every day. And minimal cheats. Of corse I have 2 cheats coming in the next 5 days. Casino trip Friday, and Celtics vip fan experience tix Monday.

But I’m even okay if I gain a pound or two from that. I have to be happy at my current weight. And the doc said that simply maintaining your weight when you start hrt is really good. Most people gain quite a chunk I guess. Idk. Not me! Lol. And I think some of that is everyone here in this group pushing each other. It’s so much easier to do this stuff with a support web. So thank you to you all! And keep up the awesome work too!! Bikini season is coming!!!!! ???

And just like that the plateau has been broken! Idk if it is really gone, or I just happened to step on the scale at an opportune time, but 179.4 this morning!! I haven’t changed much. I shifted my evening snack to before dinner at 430 instead of 7 like it was. Other than that it’s all the same. 

I also noticed I have lost my belly! It is flat. No bulge at all! Just nice and smooth. It even comes in a touch compared to my ribs which are slightly visible now too. Well not visible, but outlined I guess. I have some badness coming this weekend with a casino trip tomorrow that includes an all you can eat buffet meal and some drinking. And the vip Celtics basketball tix I won on Monday which will definitely include a couple of drinks. So I’m not optimistic about the timing. But I am very very happy to break that 180 plateau! Just gotta keep working and things  will work out.

That’s great news Kristen! I’m at 178.2 pounds and wearing a shirt today I haven’t been able to wear in years. I’m very happy right now.

 

My waist is down to 40.5 inches so that is another improvement where I can see my tummy shrinking little by little. It’s not flat yet but bettering there. Congratulations on getting a flat stomach back. That is a huge accomplishment.

Awesome Natalie! If you were a little closer I’d say we are going to the beach this summer! Lol. Kind of a long drive though. Maybe a call from the beach instead! ??

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
