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.

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 firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.
