Reaching my target weight


RithiaAllen

Recommended Posts

That’s really good girls. I haven’t weighed in since Saturday. But I know I’m not any lighter. I don’t think I’m heavier either because my belt is the same. This new workout routine is taking a lot out of me. It’s very hard. I’m slow with the moves. And every morning my whole body hurts. I have been low on steps too. The old routine was 5k-7k steps a day. This one is more like 4K. But they’re much more difficult. 25 years later and I still hate burpees! ?. And I’m so tired at the end that I can’t run on the mill yet to make up the difference. It’s only been 2 workouts so it’ll get better. But this week is gonna be a week of nothing I think. Then my coach also told me to prepare to gain weight the first couple weeks too. ?. So I’ll prolly end up going up before down. She says you gain a good amount of muscle with this routine. But it’s lean muscle not bulky. “Girl muscle”. Lol. Like I said it’s about being in shape more than anything for me. And I can tell this is going to make that happen.

I agree Kirsten.  I once had very muscular biceps from wieght lifting back in the day and now they are looking more like my wife's...which is a good thing (in case she ever reads this ?) There almost no bulge these days unless I force it by flexing.

 

Thank God I never had Popeyes arms...most of his muscle was in his forearms..but I know what you mean.

I am so happy today that I hoped back on my Wii Fit Board for another 30min workout from Aerobics to ab exercises and stretching.  I have to say that they are right that you burn your calories for the fat within the first 20 to 30min and after that if you stop then you are not wearing yourself out to be tired and can keep going every day.

 

The Wii Fit board along with my scale both showed the same that I lost 5lbs in 4 days and it's staying off since I have changed my diet and portion control.  Then I am so happy that I have more energy and not wanting to lay on the couch.

 

My balance is getting better each day according to the Wii Fit board when I do their test.  My BMI is also dropping.  Then with losing 5lbs, I have notice that my pants have been getting loose and having to keep pulling them up.  But I dont think that I ready for the next size down on the pants. 

 

My goal to to lose my belly, tone it up keep it off and have my pants size go from double digits to single digits.

 

Today I have done step's, running, and hula hoop on the Wii Fit.  Then I did ab's for the twist and angle twist to get my side's and then V up's.  For the final I ended my 30min session with baby shark.

 

I am feeling better and healthier.

My Wii Fit board arrived for the Wii U. I like it. I think I am going to get some Wii motes so I can do all the things like the dancing.

 

Today’s weigh in was 192 pounds. That makes three pounds lost in the last seven days. Right now I’m losing weight in 10 pound milestones so the next milestone is very close.

Awe that is awesome Rithia that your Wii Fit board arrived.  I have been using mine alot and I need to get the additional controllers so I can do more of the exercises.  My Wii Fit is also for the Wii U as well.  

 

You have to get me your Wii U Mii name and maybe I know that on the Wii Fit U how you can do multiplayer and exercises together or play racket ball blocks against each other.  It would be grate if we can workout together like that.

 

Lots of Love

It does online play? That’s cool. I think mine is Niastissa. I’ll check when I get home but I’m pretty sure that is it.

After a 25 min ab-interval training video I am BEAT!! I mean holy crap!! There were things I literally just couldn’t do! But I tried like heck. My abs are still quivering an hour and a half later. 

I really hope I start to catch on to this series soon because I want to get back on the treadmill too. But if I don’t rest I’m not ready for the next day. My steps this week have averaged about 7k and my cals burned I think is off. I don’t think the watch understands how hard the workouts are because my heartbeat stays lower for the most part. But my muscles are crying the whole time. Lol

Keep up the good work all in this thread, and just chiming in here to say I stepped on the scale this morning (first time in about 10 days), and I am now 5 lbs below where I was just before Halloween. I have emerged from the holidays and all the temptations they present. I am happy just to stay in about a 5 lb range myself, but if I get complacent it can all come back quickly. 5 miles daily, plus a number of planks and other stretching is my magic formula, being consistent works for me. Tonight it's Thai beef salad for the girls and I, yumm...

My scale and my Wii Fit U are serval pounds off. My scale says I didn’t lose weight yesterday and my Wii Fit I says that I’m just under 194 pounds. I’m inclined to think the Wii Fit U is probably more accurate or at least more conservative. I’ll be tracking with both for now but I might just go with the Wii U Fit weigh in from now on.

That is what I have been doing myself with doing both my bathroom scale and my Wii U Fit board.  I love seeing the graph as well every day when I do the body test and it has been showing it is going down.  It's not a step down but a slow downgrade.  But still, I love seeing the graph.

 

So I found another exercise I am going to try to mimic and it looks hard and extreme.  I am going to try the Alexia Ren Ab workout.  It's 10min of constant 30sec burst of different ab movements and it looks tough and extreme.  But figured I have been following along with baby shark and I am doing good and love the results I am getting and love how my core feels even though I still see fat but it's slowly shrinking and can feel the ab muscles tighting up below the fat so I know it is working.

I’m not weighing in anymore. Lol. I’m all over the place rite?! I am down another 1/2 a belt loop though! But I’m still weak and struggling thru my workouts. I didn’t have a meal plan this week either so foods been off. I’m not eating nearly enough I don’t think. But still healthy. Eggs fruit and whole grain breads for breakfast, lunch has been tough. But dinner has been meat and veggies with some small carb sides. ??‍♀️

Just pushing for that 4-6pack abs for summer. Gotta make the other girls jelly. ?

You want to make us jelly? A firm butt, nice thighs, small waist and bigger boobs (to a certain extent) is what would make me jelly. I don’t know about a six pack.

Well, I forced myself to step on the scale last night and I wish I hadn't. I set a goal when I got my Fitbit to drop 10.9 pounds and hit 175 (I started HRT at 172). I weighed in at 191.8. I only have time to work out when I'm out on a trip, and I haven't changed eating patterns that kept me where I wanted to be.

 

I'll have to start manufacturing some time at home. Would the original Wii Fit work or is Wii Fit U better?

I had the original Wii fit I remember it being cool. I was thinking about if they have one for the switch or if I can use fit and fit u in conjunction. I know that the u version has some cool looking exercises that use two remotes to track the arms.

@RithiaAllen I wonder if the Wii Fit U will cross over to the switch or not.  But I want to get the remotes as well cause there is alot of aerobic exercise that I want to do but you need to remotes.

@Kirsten I am not really going for abs myself but I want the nice firm butt, small waist, flat stomach and some bigger boobs than what I have.  But I have already had people say that they can see a nice butt and thighs on me.  

 

I am really working on losing weight and getting my stomach nice and flat.  Been working on my core ab area.  Today, I decided to add a new routine to my workout and I am in pain.  I tried the Alexis Ren ab workout.  That is 10min of 30sec different ab workouts and it is constant go go go without stopping.  That killed me for my first attempt and being in pain, but I can feel the tightness behind the fat

Sadly none of the Wii Fit games will work on Switch, but there is a boxing training thing that's not bad (and has a free demo). It has (not original) versions of various songs like Bad Romance and About that Bass and is a good way to burn a few calories. I don't really have the space to really make the most out of it, though, but could be worth a look if you wanted to do a workout with your Switch. :D

Today’s weigh in was 191 pounds and my waist was down to 42.5 inches. Both the waist and the weight continues to go down. The waist has a long ways to go but I am thankful for it going down.

Congrats ladies on all your progress.  It sure helps to see others fighting the same battle.  I feel like I'm not in it alone but ultimately it comes down to my personal choices.

 

We're pretty much snowed in here and I've got no excuse to not do my 3 mile walk today.  I have new boots but I had misplaced my ski gloves but my wife let me borrow hers.  They fit ok.  They're very feminine but that'll never stop me and I now have no excuse to get out there in the snow today.  It's 2:20pm and I'm still procrastinating.  My wife says it's ok to skip a day but I feel incomplete without doing my daily walk.  Oh well, we'll see.  Thanks for reading my quick rants & ramblings this afternoon.

The solution is simple. Bundle up, grab your shovel and clear the drive way. That is great exercise. ?

      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.

      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.

      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?
