Today’s weigh in was 197.9 pounds. I’m lighter by .1 pounds then all the way back to 2013. That is both depressing and super awesome.

 

Just another 50 to 60 pounds to go. ?

If you dont mind me asking.  What's your goal?

 

With my height, my goal that I would love to get to is 180

That’s crazy! How tall are you? I wish I could go for 150ish but there’s no way. I’d look sick. I am about 15-20 pounds from my goal. 170 would be great. Actually 168 would be great, but I’m realizing that I may not be able to hit that mark. I am just to large all round. For a male my size I am supposed to be around 180. Up to 195 though. Which I’m under already. But my frame is just big. I bet my bones alone weigh 100 pounds. I’m only 37” at the waist now. And my hips are 42. Idk how that measures up but it’s “v” shaped for sure. 

 

For reference I am 6-0 tall,  size 11 feet (which has come down in the last year), and hands the size of plates.

I love the video Kristen.  I am glad that I did not make any New Years Resolutions cause they always get broken but instead I have started to change my mind and started to change things in December.  That's why I loved the baby steps I did, so that way it was not drastic and I am able to stick with it the change and it is now just a normal habit.

 

Wow, I am the same height as you being 6'0" tall..size 12 feet.  My doctors have said that my ideal weight is 180 for a male.  So right now I want to shoot for 180 to be realistic on goal planning.

That’s a good goal Amy. I am hoping to hit 180 by the end of Cize (2weeks). And then all bets are off because of the muscle I’ll add. I may not loose any weight on insanity. Just inches. #nomoregoo!!! ? sorry it’s a Tony Horton joke from another series. ??‍♀️ I know I’m weird. Haha

5’10” size 9-10 feet depending on the brand and width of the shoe.

 

40” shoulders

42.5” waist (at the moment I used to be 30” and that was with love handles)

44” hips (shrunk a little from loss of weight but not much)

 

I’m not an overly large person. The photos I shared was when I was between 145 to 155 pounds. Based on those I think realistically I can get down to 140 pounds and maybe 130 pounds. I’ll stop when I have burned off the waist back to a healthy level. Right now I’m just estimating my targets based on a projected BMI of 19.

130!?!? Wow. That’s underweight even for a female your size. My wife would disown me. Lol.   When I was 170 everyone I knew thought I had cancer or something. But I had a lot more muscle than now I bet too.

It’s hard to stay away from those numbers though. I like the idea of 160s, but I think the number doesn’t matter as long as I look fit. When my abs look like this I’ll be happy no matter what the weight is I think. I hope. Lol.

I didn’t say 130 for sure, but the BMI is still above 18 so it is dozens of pounds from underweight. 

 

According to the app 133 pounds is just under a BMI of 21. This is midrange in the category of normal.

I’m not going for muscle tone. I just want to get down to a healthy weight. I want to keep the curves but not be overweight.

No weigh in for today. I have a stomach bug and am nauseous. I had to take a sick day. I ate a banana and had a bottle of water to help replace water lost from the runs and I am going back to bed. I’m feeling better now then I was feeling in the evening but I don’t want to overdo it today and get worse. It sucks. :(

 

I bought some Campbell’s chicken soup, apple sauce and bread. I also picked up packets of emergency-c immune+ with vitamin d dietary supplement. I got it instead of the gummy version to force me to drink more water.

 

Thanks a lot whoever came to work sick!

Awe man! Sorry you aren’t well Rithia. Lots of fluids. Lots of rest. You’ll be back on your feet before you know it. 

I had a tough day yesterday for exercise. I missed a couple goals that I haven’t missed in like 3 weeks. But it was pouring rain all day yesterday so my steps were very low. And I don’t use the treadmill on ab days so it is what it is. 

Yesterday I had 22 floors, 9700 steps for 4.5 miles ?, 2600 cals burned, and 49 mins of exercise avg heartbeat 110. So not awful. But not on point either. 10 minutes on the treadmill probably would’ve gotten me there but not after the ab workout. It’s 8 mins of constant pain and anguish. Lol. But yesterday I was able to keep up pace for the first half and only missed a couple reps in the second half as well! Two weeks ago I was barely able to do all of the moves. So that I am proud of. But not my steps. Gonna have a good day today though! We are starting week 3 of the Cize workout tonight. Only 12 workouts till we move on to Insanity! 

 

Oh and @Amy LeBlanc, I didn’t forget about you. I have had a busy week, but I’ll get that series I promised you in the mail first thing tomorrow. It’s all packed up ready to go. Just gotta get to the post.

Thanks Kristen. I have drunk a bunch of water today, and eaten toast, apple sauce and a banana. I just woke up from a nap. I’m going to make some chicken soup  and have some more toast with it. The pressure in my stomachs which preceded the need to go number 2nand dump large amounts of fluid seems to be gone. My other symptoms seem to be gone now too. I just to keep from upsetting my stomach as I recover over the weekend.

Glad to hear you’re starting to feel better Rithia. Hopefully you bounce back quickly and get to enjoy some of your weekend.

 

Make sure you’re back to good health before getting back to exercise.  With those kinds of symptoms, you can really set yourself back by jumping back in too quickly. 

 

*hugs*

Hope you’re feeling better. I’m still sniffing a little myself but it’s almost gone. Winter time illness sucks. I don’t know what I would do if my stomach was not feeling well. It’s good that you can start eating a little more. 

 

I stepped on the scale today and I lost a few pounds! My legs and calves are a little sore but it’s paying off! 

 

Naps fix everything girl! Well almost everything. Get plenty of rest and let that body heal!

Thanks everyone. I drank almost half of a 24 pack of Dasani pack of water yesterday.

 

I managed to eat almost 1000 calories of food yesterday but it was not easy because I had almost no appetite. At one point I felt hungry and then my face turned green when I started to eat. I had three slices of Pepridge Farms 15 Grain wheat bread with butter, two bananas, about a cup of Cinnamon Apple Sauce, half of the Campbells Chicken soup from the classic condensed can, one nutri-grain Bar mixed berry and a Kellogs Pastry crisp strawberry (just one I couldn't eat the second).

 

This morning I was feeling ravenous and had a mixed berry nutri-grain bar, 4 scrambled eggs with ketchup, 266.25ml of fruit punch gatorade (3/4 of the bottle). The only thing hard about eating this morning was not licking the bowl of eggs. I am much better then yesterday.

 

Despite everything I still managed to lose weight and weighed in at 196.7 pounds. Thankfully this is not a huge number I was expecting worse and mostly from water but I think I managed to keep from dehydrating. I'm going to take it easy. I think I will go to the gym and walk about a 1mph pace on the treadmill just to move some and keep in the habit of going and get me out of the apartment. I have been shut in for almost 40 hours now since Thursday evening so I'm feeling kind of enclosed right now.

Link to comment

1 mph is very slow. Lol. It’ll be like walking in slow motion. Take a video and post! ?

I had another off day yesterday. I was working in the basement, so once again I was low on my numbers. 

23 floors, 9400 steps for 4-1/2 miles, 2800 cals burned, but only 28 mins of exercise avg heartbeat 96. ?

I just finished breakfast and am getting ready for exercising now. This weekend will be a BIG push for exercise and weight loss. We had our sushi cheat last night so that’s done. Nothing but healthy living here on out!

I have been saying I’d take a body pic. I’m not feeling too skinny, but I figure eeh it’s not awful. Of corse my wife was sitting when she took the pic so I look about 200 feet tall. Lolol.

Very nice, @Kirsten!  You're looking great.  Cute feet too.  Thanks for sharing!

Wow Kirsten! Your flat tummy says you are doing everything right!  Going to have to up my exercise goals from 6000 daily steps now (got to start somewhere). :) 

Link to comment

Rithia, I don’t have a flat stomach either. It’s one of the more difficult places to lose the weight so once I get there I’m probably going to want to show it off. 

 

Kirsten, today I saw a few Cis women with almost male proportions between shoulders and hips so it’s not uncommon at all for women to have slightly broader shoulders than average. Whenever I see that I think “I can do this!”

Link to comment

Thanks Josie. :) It has been progressing in the correct direction but it isn't there yet. Compared to Kristen I am still downright pudgy.

 

I weighed in this morning and I was 196.6 pounds. Not certain about the scale I repeated this two more times and it gave me the same weight so I guess I lost a tenth of a pound yesterday. I did managed 11277 steps yesterday 5.15 miles over the corse of the day (a lot of this was probably going from my desk or bed to the rest room. sadly not kidding). I also managed to eat more yesterday and had 1174 calories with 4 scrambled eggs with ketchup, two chocolate chip granola bars, a nutri-grain mixed berry bar, more chicken noodle soup, toast, apple sauce, bananas, and some actual mixed berries which where sooooo good. I ended up housing them when I intended to spread them out, but they are healthy and I needed nutrients.

Thanks ladies! I think I have a good bit of work left to do, but at least I’m getting there. I try not to be overly worried since I am only 8 months in. And still not on full strength hrt. Close though. 

 

Yesterday was a super busy day. We are redoing the living room and the basement this weekend. We got a new sectional last weekend, so new paint this weekend for both rooms (24x16 rooms) move the old couches downstairs after that room got painted, and now doing the upstairs. 

 

So 30 flights, 14300 steps for 6.6 miles, 3160 cals burned, and 54 mins of activity avg heartbeat 111! And we even did the workout video too! Very productive.

It was hard not to step on that scale this morning. But I didn’t. I’m excited for tomorrow’s weigh in. I’m hoping for under 187. ??That’ll put me back down to last September’s weight. ?

Hey all.

 

So I stepped on the scale this morning with nothing on so I can get what I truly weigh.  I am at 218.  Yesterday I only had one meal the whole day and it was a cheat meal.  I had Pizza.

 

So I got 9300 steps in yesterday.  Burned 936 calories between walking and my workout.

 

Glad my weight is starting to go back down.

So I figured that I would add after Kirsten started it.  But here is myself at 218 so far.  I dont like 2 pieces or anything that shows off my core area due to my surgery from cancer

      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>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      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.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      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.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?

      sound  nice ...I been using a sleep bra with soft forms from knitted knockers..send a donation if you use them..I just sent my preferred size etc..works ok..gives my chest break from silicone touching..   how far back should I look to see about the ones you're using from Susan?   hugs
