Reaching my target weight


RithiaAllen

Recommended Posts

I have noticed it slows everything a bit. At least for me. But not a ton. And idk of it’ll bother you that fast. I should be walking anyways. I want to complete insanity before the summer at least once and that’s 60 days. But I have to get in shape before I can get in shape with that series. ? lol. It’s hard. You can’t just go from nothing. The moves are very specific and you need good body control to start out. That I definitely don’t have right now. I’m very clumsy the last month or two. I blame the boobs. ?

Yes that’s why I started as soon as I started down the path to lose weight. I decided to use all the weight as forced weights and pushed/pushing through it.

 

I do have the body control from my days in martial arts which is actually a lot like dancing. Once I’ve lost a little more weight I think I’m going to go find a dance club for some ballroom dancing or I guess in Texas maybe square dancing if it isn’t too silly for me.

 

This weekend I’m going to shoot for a 14 minute mile which will cut about two and a half minutes off my time which will increase the calories burned per minute. Back in high school I used to be able to sprint two miles in 8.5 minutes for NJROTC. I wasn’t quite squirrel fast but I could run all of them down by the sixth lap of the track. Good times. I’ll be happy when I get back down to six minutes and then we’ll see how far I can go from there.

That’s really good! I could never do 2 miles back then, but I could run a 4:06 mile and a sub 2 min 1/2. Well my best were those. Lol. I was more of a jumper. High jump hurdles and triple jump. I wish I could still compete in old people track and field! Lol. 

My 5k was down to 28 and change in like June before the spiro killed my outdoor activity this past year. I’m hoping my body is at least acclimated this summer to keep going. I even had to quit my golf league because of the issue. It is the real reason I put the weight back on. Like I said I can’t wait until I’m not taking this spiro crap anymore. There is no way it’s not bad for you. 

So weigh in today was 191.2! Down again! I’m hoping to hit the 180s by the end of the weekend. I only had 11 net carbs yesterday too. Best day yet! And only 1073 calories in. My steps are still struggling but I’m starting the treadmill this weekend. 20 mins a day I think should push me over my 10k steps. And the best part is I am down 2 belt loops!

The funny thing is I never took spiro. I was only ever on estrodile.

 

I lost another .3 pounds and am down to 217.1 and have lost 3 pounds this first week of November.

 

I had three ribs, a garden salad, a chicken leg and a bagel to eat yesterday and 40 Oz of water.

 

I burned 3350 calories and ingested 1108 calories. That makes me think I might have lost more but alas no empty tank this morning.

 

I started shopping for cloths last night and didn’t buy anything. I don’t want to buy the XL stuff. I figure by the time Spring roles around I might be back to a size 12 and maybe by the summertime I could fit into a size 8. When I’m at least a size 12 I’ll be willing to buy nicer cloths. At that point pretty much all my current big cloths are going to get sold at a garage sale or donated. I never want to be this out of shape ever again.

 

I have attached my weight loss chart. When I feel like it’s going too slow I look at it and am comforted that while yes it’s slow and I fight and took for every pound I am making large progress bit by bit.

Yesterday I ate an estimated 722 calories which I think is wrong it was probably closer to 1000.

 

I burned 3476 calories over the course of the day.

 

My weight is below the 216 mark now at 215.9. That is a loss of 1.2 pounds.That makes 4.2 pounds at the end of this week that I have lost.

 

Unfortunatly for me it is raining today so I don’t know if I’m going to be able to do a super long walk but I will hit the treadmill today after I go grocery shopping in a moment.

I lost another .3 pounds today and am down to 215.6. I’m hopeful that I can be close to 210 by the 20th when I’m going home and around 200 by new years.

@Kristen You didn’t give up did you? I know you stopped keto but that doesn’t mean you’re not able to lose weight. Come on you can do it. ?

 

Todays weigh in was 215.3. I burned 3436 calories and ingested 1125 with 37% carbs, 47% fat and 16% protein. That is another day of .3 pounds lost and since November 30th I have lost 4.8 pounds.

No I haven’t given up. I am at 190.6 today. But I’m trying to figure out how to mix things up for my body now. I have to start logging macros vs weight to see what works now. I am still mostly keto. But I am just limiting to 30 carbs. And cutting my protein. I think I’m storing due to too much protein. I have averaged about 9% carbs, 26% protein and 65% fat. I’ve been in full ketosis the whole time so I have plenty of ketones and am burning fat for energy but it’s just not the way I want it. And I have noticed being hungry a couple times which isn’t supposed to happen. I’m just a bit confused at the moment. Tryin to learn my new body. 

Oh and I’ve lost 3 belt loops in 2 weeks so I know I’m thinning more than I’m losing. I just think there’s an issue with the protein with the new hormones and all. And I don’t want to gain muscle. Which is what I’m afraid I am doing.

Just remember narrow is the way and short cuts only get people lost. Everything worth anything is hard fought for.

 

Keep your intake to a minimum and exercise and the weight will come off.

 

For me I didn’t lose anything yesterday but I managed to drop another tenth of a pound today. It’s not great but I haven’t had the time to walk as much the last few days because of work. Right now I am 215.2.

 

I only burned 3232 calories yesterday and 982 was from moving. I had 1233 yesterday though. That’s just shy of a 2000 calorie deficit. It’s my theory that this is part of the cycle where the body thinks it’s starving. To get the fire burning I reassure it by giving it a hearty meal and it thinks oh yeah and burns a pound and then tapers off again until I give it another good meal and so on.

 

I keep the meal to roughly 650 calories.

 

I know it sounds counter productive to add in another two to three hundred calories in the day but it seems to work for me.

 

 I’m sure you will find what works for you.

It’s just gonna take time. Everyone has a macro ratio that works for their metabolism. Mine was around 20%carbs/40%protein/40%fat last time around. Ive been assuming I need to stay in heavier ketosis because of the lack of t in my system. But I’m now thinking I have to go back to those ratios and see the results there before adjusting. Oddly enough last time around that meant a fatty carb filled coffee and donut for breakfast followed by a very regimented carb free day. Average calorie intake was 900-1200 a day. And I averaged 4-5 pounds a week weight loss. Glad I kept a complete diary. Thank you my fitness pal. Lol. The funny thing is that I did this to slow down the weight loss because I was upsetting my wife. But in actuality I think it was helping me loose now.

I have been checking my ketosis levels and I am I’m in moderate to high ketosis every day. And average weight loss in full ketosis is 2pounds a week. So I am in that window. I have also lost nearly 4 inches off my waist at this point. But I’m gaining muscle so the weight is shifting instead of falling off. Typical side effect of keto. I can’t complain. I am down over 10 pounds in 16 days. It’s not the 15 I’d hoped for but it is working. And that’s with absolutely no exercise. I’m down .2 from yesterday too. I’m at 189.8. And fully in IF mode too. I eat every day at 11am and 7pm. Nothing between. Just gonna keep going.

I remember my ritual of walking over to the seven-11 in DC from building xx (actual name of the church building at GWU) where I worked to buy one or two donuts for breakfast. Then I had lunch and dinner without any care. I walked a lot but back then it was like meditation. If I was stressed on a problem I would take a mile walk and come back refreshed with the solution.

 

Today I lost .8 pounds and  I am down to 214.4. I ate 1397 calories and burned 3333 calories and drank 48 Oz of water. I had a Conn Salad for lunch and two waffles, three scrambled eggs and a piece of turkey bacon with 100% natural maple syrup for dinner. I walked 5.87 miles.

 

That is 5.7 pounds lost so far this month.

After a frustrating few days of going up down up down with my weight, I have went back to healthy eating and exercising. Got a 20 min core workout in, and ran a mile on the treadmill. 9:58 for a time and I had to sprint the last .1 to break 10. Plus a 5 min warm up and cool down. So 40 mins of exercise. Didn’t wear my watch today so idk what any of that is. But I’m probably in the area of 10k steps on the day. And for food coffee and donut for breakfast, chicken and a cheese stick for lunch and a salad for dinner. It’ll take some time but I’ll get there. And I’ll feel better about it. I am having issues with all the fat in that keto diet. I just don’t like it. So onto greener pastures.

Nothing beats walking and running in the long term. I weighed myself before diner and I was 214.4 on the dot. So I gained nothing through the day. I had my three eggs and last two eggo waffles tonight. I finished the turkey bacon last night. But I feel full. So now I’m going to be talking with the Bf and walking pretty much the rest of the night.

 

Oh and I got in the Division 2 alpha. I can’t say anymore on it but I psyched for when it comes out in March!

So far so good. From 191.4 yesterday to 190.4 today!! Remembered my watch today too!! Macros yesterday were 25/24/51 which I think is right on my sweet spot. Calories were a little high at 1452 but with the exercise I burned way more than I took in. 

Gonna stick with the 13 hour fast 7p to 8a and keep the dd coffee and donut going for now. I have a salad for lunch and it’ll be a low carb dinner as well. 

Most exciting part was having my handful of pretzels and tbsp of peanut butter last night. Lol. ??‍♀️

Wow that really was pounds up and down. All that matters now though is you’re back on the downward trend.

 

I lost another .8 pounds and am down to 213.6 pounds. Yesterday was a company lunch which would have been super good if it wasn’t cold. Shrimp, very well cooked steak and chick in tiny servings and a awesome garden salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Then I had a basic sandwich for dinner along with some grapes.

 

I walked 7.42 miles and burned 3466 calories and ate 1501 calories.

Holy crap! How long does it take you to walk that far!? My average is 2-3miles a day with my regular day. To walk another 4 miles I’d be on the treadmill for an hour plus. Lol. My kids would never let that fly. Hahaha. 

Thats great though. You’re doing so good!! Keep it up Rithia!

Well a good chunk during the day was floating to the rest room from all the water I drank. Then .3 to the Marriott for the company luncheon. Roughly a mile back to the office because I forgot my phone and got lost and then .3 to get back. (Yay gps on phones) In total I think I only had to use the treadmill for a little over 5 miles.

 

I say walk but on the treadmill I’m probably closer to a jog now with a mile in 10 minutes. I think I was on the treadmill for about 55 minutes.

 

Thanks

 

Oh and this is the burn graph.

 

One of my goals is to be able to go as Misato for the next Halloween party at work. Obviously I won’t be armed at the office or at wherever the party ends up being. ?

Cool! I’m gonna try to get back to a 5k a day sooner than later. I have a 1/2 marathon coming up in March so it was already part of the plan. Never done a 1/2 marathon before. Biggest is a 10k and this will be double that. But my friend says she is slow and I shouldn’t have an issue keeping up with sub 30 min 5k times. Idk though. It’s daunting for sure. But I’m so doing it. You’ll be pushing me all the way there now too! ?

Link to comment

I’ve never done a marathon either but it’s an appealing idea.

 

Today at my weigh in I was 212.7 so I lost another .9 pounds. That makes 7.4 pounds lost so far for the month of December. I think I’m on track for losing 15 pounds this month if things continue at this rate.

Very nice Rithia! I am down .4 today at 190.0! 25-30 pounds to go! I was excited last night when I went shopping too because size 12 was getting a tad baggy. Well at ny and co at least. Express is still a 12/14 ?

burned over 3000 cals yesterday and ate 970. So a good day. And much much easier than keto. 25 mins on a treadmill mirrored to smaller healthy meals is so simple in comparison. Lol. I even had 1/2 a cup of brown rice! Lol. 

Today is a holiday party. Gonna grab a bottle of patron for drinking and stick with the shrimp and crudité snacks to munch on. But just in case it’ll be a salad for lunch today and nothing else.

A .4 pound loss is a very good stable weight loss goal. In fact as long as you don’t feel like you can’t eat something you are more likely to keep your eating pattern after your target goal.

 

For instance I had Papa Johns thin crust pizza and cheese sticks for dinner last night and still lost the weight.

 

I understand  the need for new clothes. I have a wardrobe waiting for me that will be added too as soon as I can. For now I’m buying cheap Target clothes because as Inlose weight they get too big and I never intend to need them ever again.

 

I’m starting to fit into the large size now albeit tightly but it’s progress considering I couldn’t wear the size at all in October. My exercise clothes are starting to get loose. I have gone from the third clip on my xl sports bras down to the middle clip and I am fitting into a 38C sports bra now too. This bra rocks too because it zips from the front meaning I can put it in rather then squeeze through it like a normal sports bra and it give me honest to god cleavage again.

 

I am hoping that I can keep my weight loss pace up.

Late Tuesday Update for me.  Well I was disappointed with the previous weeks weigh in as I had only lost 1.5lbs.  But this week things balanced out.  I lost 4.5 lbs this week. I've been extremely busy so haven't had time to post here in days.  I'm back on track with only 25.5lbs til I hit my target.

      https://apnews.com/article/title-ix-sexual-assault-transgender-sports-d0fc0ab7515de02b8e4403d0481dc1e7   The revised regulations don't touch on trans athletes; which I totally understand, as that's become a third rail issue and this is an election year.  But the other changes seem pretty sensible, and will obviously result in immediate right wing lawsuits.   Carolyn Marie

      They may win a few battles but not the war! as @Davie pointed out there is little truth if it full of lies, inconsistencies, and ignores evidence to the contrary. I saw this article earlier and have to agree here. Truth will win. This isn’t the first time this tactic has been tried. Always stick with the truth!

      Welcome @violet r! Glad you joined our forum and got through the hardest part…that first post. As many have mentioned, we are more than accepting here as we affirm your gender identity and hold no judgement, whatsoever. There’s so much here on this forum, I think you’ll find very helpful. If you have trouble finding an answer just reach out, try the search but starting a new thread is usually best to get some quick answers. Many are here for various transgender related issues but many, if not all, are here to help one another if we can. It’s great to have you onboard.   Warmest Regards, Susan R🌷

      good evening   good day at work today.  I did do some things a little out of normal but everything was completed successfully.  As I said earlier, the Asst Mgr was my second today.  I don’t think she was too happy about that.  Several customers asked her where Richard was her answer was the manager cut his hours.  Well that is only part of the story,  his hours were cut just like mine were and several others but in his case he made demands about his hours that couldn’t be met.  But instead of making some non complaining remark about it she made sure to lay it all on the manager, thus throwing the manager under the bus.  Similarly when asked why she hadn’t been at work early mornings, she said she was being punished by the manager.  Well that’s partly true, she wouldn’t do what the manager told her to do so she took her off opening.  But secondarily she didn’t have a car to drive temporarily.  You can’t open the store without a car because who ever opens has tasks that require them to leave the store, so it was  at least partly her own fault.  But she chose to throw the manager under the bus for that.  I think she is asking to be fired for insubordination.  And if the manager gets these conversations off the security tape tomorrow she just might get her wish.   im pretty close to being ready to take the asst position but there isn’t anyone ready to take over my job, at least not at our store.  I suppose the other shift lead could if she is able to work earlier shifts and if the other closers were just a bit more reliable.   Ive been wanting some homefried chicken.  We found a BBQ place not far away that had such a chicken but I is made fresh when ordered so it has a 30 minute wait.  It was worth the wait and the other things we tried were also good.  Another restaurant on the list.  At least half of what we ordered came home for another meal.   i get to sleep in tomorrow, I go to work at 1:30!   Willow

      It was nine thirty.  Saturday morning had rolled around more quickly than Taylor could believe.  She groaned, whined, thought of a million excuses why she should just stay in bed and knock the alarm across the room.  But it would still be going on, and so would the promise to Bob: when the gi came in, she would be in. There it was in its nice package, out where she could not miss it.  Why didn't she hide it?  She shook her head.   Up she got.  Sometimes you just do.  Her hair was a wreck. She patted it down and went to the bathroom.  Nine forty five. Shower later. No make up. She hated kara-tay especially at an ungodly early hour on a Saturday morning. Bagel. Instant coffee.  She was five minutes away when she realized she had forgotten the gi.  Back she went.   Into the dojo.  She had about five minutes to get the gi on.  She attempted to slip in unnoticed and go to the little restroom. Someone barked something out in Japanese or something, and there was a dead silence.  She turned to see what was going on. Both classes were getting into their lines, but everyone, including Bob, was bowing slightly. To her. Bob nodded, and she returned the bow.  Life started again. She was touched.   Bowing three times. Oath. Kata.  She was facing off with Judy as her partner.  Judy looked worried.   "Sometimes you just gotta pick yourself up and try again," Taylor told her. She nodded. "Let's do this."   Lunge punch and lower block.  They traded off like nothing had happened the last weekend.  Lunge punch and middle block. Lunge punch and upper block.  It was kind of like dancing. Taylor enjoyed it.  She wanted to learn more.  Brown-belt Maggie adjusted position of limbs and hips for both Taylor and Judy, telling them when she was about to do something: elbow up a bit".    "How'd you do?" Bob asked her later.  They had both gone home and showered. Now they were in a booth at a fast food place.   "I was kind of disappointed class ended. I was ready for more."   "That's my trooper."   "I'm not allowing you in my apartment until we are married," she said suddenly.   "You think I am a problem?"   "No.  I think you are safe. You passed the test  I am the problem here."   "Okay."   "What did the doctor tell you?"   "It's complicated.  More tests coming.  Like getting into college.  I got a letter back.  It seems there is this big fat M on my transcript and my current picture is not an M type picture.  I have to write a letter and send them notarized proofs and stuff. Just delays. This is a pain. Nothing cut and dried."   "I will say.  I'm glad I'm not transgender."   "Hah. You are pulled into my world.  You are involved in this stuff as much as I am, and, as you put it, of your own free will."   "You are worth it."   "I hope so."   "I know so."

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!
