WHAT??? 141 lbs even??? WOW! I haven't seen that in probably 6 years!!! Celebrated by buying myself some wireless earbuds for the treadmill. So, here are my stats for Sept. 1:
Weight: 141 lbs (down 1/4 lb from Aug. 3)
Waist: 30.75" (down 1/4 inch)
Hips: 38.75" (down 1/4 inch)
Thigh: 22" even (down 5/8")
Body Fat: 37.1% (Same, bummer)
BMI: 25.4 (down .1)
So, everything's down a smidge except body fat%; BMI is almost in the "normal" range. I figure I must be firming up, especially in the thigh area, cool! So, goals for September are:
1. Lose 2 lbs to get below 140 (Aug. goal, not quite met)
2. Cardio for 50 minutes x 5 days a week, = 1,000 exercise minutes
3. Set a new PR when I run the Fallen Heroes 5K on Sept. 30th
4. TRACK EVERY DAY, especially on weekends when I get lazy; and
5. Don't gain weight back over the weekend, LOL! That's what I did last month. I'm almost ready for maintenance mode - whatever I lose, I want to lose PERMANENTLY!

Fantastic, interesting note about maintenance mode - recent studies show that people who lose weight may need to still keep a small calorie deficit or else the body will "fight" to gain weight back even on a normal diet of calories. That's why almost all of the people on the Biggest loser gained much of their weight back - they ate normal RDI but still gained. Keep the faith and do well!

I'm hoping you aren't losing too much muscle if you haven't lost any measurable body fat...strength training/resistance workouts are better than cardio for preserving muscle. Over 50yo we can loose 10 lbs per decade of lean body mass/ muscle. I applaud your weight loss and encourage you to mix up your workouts for a well rounded health benefit.

Thanks to everyone who commented. To Chenemi, I am about 5'2 1/2" tall. To 859klm, yeah I know I should strength train, but I can't seem to stick with a plan. I thought I might at least do some situps & pushups at home, LOL! I have also read that "Biggest Loser" study, it generated alot of conversations here on FatSecret. But there are some who, as perks54 says, stay vigilant and keep their weight off. I did read about some sisters who have been pretty successful former contestants - they also eat about 1200 calories a day, whoa! I have been eating less, and I felt almost miserable today from just a bowl of chilli - no Fritos! Now THAT'S progress!

That is alot of cardio to sustain, once you stop doing all that cardio the weight comes back. You need to build muscle, which in turn makes you drop inches. You'll weight more and look smaller.

Nice going! Maintenance is a challenge, sure, and it's one I have confidence you'll manage.
|
I do some "weight training" by wearing wrist weights when I walk. It's a great "cheat" because all you have to do is walk and you are also building upper body strength.
|
I agree with Rocketfirl and a book by Dr Bernstein - world renowned diabetes doctor - that the best is to build muscle through strength and interval traing. the good news is that all the new research shows that the amount of time you need to exercise to get benefits is less than they thought.

Every pushup counts 😁 don't mean to rain on your parade. you have actually lost some fat since the same percentage of a lower weight *is* less fat overall, you're just keeping it proportional 😊
