Since the beginning, of you don’t count the first few weeks of mainly water loss, I’m losing on average 0.4-0.6# per week. Being impatient this isn’t fast enough but logically I know this is a decent place to be.

Just for giggles I wrote down what each weeks ending weight should be through the end of the year. By Christmas I should be sitting at 125.2, thanksgiving 127.6, Halloween 129.2 and today 131.2. I’ve lost a whopping 0.2# more than expected haha. I didn’t allow for swelling and healing as I have no way of knowing that and am taking that as a bit of extra help if it makes the scale go down a bit 😉. My goal of 120 won’t be realized by the end of the year but the 125 will be ok I guess. OR I could just do a huge cut for the rest of this month and most of November. But with holidays and a couple family birthdays that would be very hard. And I want some Halloween candy haha.

All in all I’m happy with the 0.4# loss I guess. Technically it’s 0.2# short last week because the week before was 0.4# bigger loss than expected. So yeah, I believe I’ll treat myself. Just have to decide if I want 250 cal snickers, 190 protein bar or 90 rice crispy treat. Will have to do meal plans to see which is the best option. I’m rooting for the protein bar haha.

That is great progress. At such a low weight, every little loss is huge. Sure, you aren't losing 2 pounds a week like an obese person but percentage wise it is most likely equal. :)

the one thing is once you are healed and back to weight lifting and exercise you may find with the added weight of the muscle development your goal weight may change. I set my goal weight and being within a pound I know I am not any where near I want to be yet. once I develop my muscle tone I will be reshaping my body and my true weight is unknown. You may find the same for yourself. Glad you are seeing progress and yes once things settle in with the healing you may have yourself a nice bonus

0.3% of total body weight lost last week. 0.75% the week before. I’ve been staying mostly around 0.4% with some up to 0.7% gains and down to 2.6% loss once. My ideal is 126 and they say the last 10# is the hardest and they are correct! I’ll have to schedule some gym time even if it means I have to go to the school stinky haha. Usually use all my time working out and don’t leave enough for a shower 😳 and just take one at home. Got dressed to run (still haven’t started jogging as I had hoped to do) this morning but stepped out to 30 degrees so came right back in haha.

Agree baskington! My original goal was 110. That’s unrealistic for a post menopausal cancer survivor in her late 30’s lol. All of my drs have remarked on my progress and only one has suggested losing another 10. My oncologist believes that a little underweight is better than a tiny bit overweight because of the chances or recurrence. Seems I can knock a few % off by losing another 10-15. I was around 132.4-132.8 when I saw her but her scale read about 135. So 120-125 is my goal and I think it’s realistic. When I commented about losing most of the fat and replacing it with muscle she ummhummed and nodded even when I said the scale might say the same. She didn’t seem all that happy about keeping the number but said losing the fat is the most important. I really need to work out again. From last experience I know that the swelling would be worse though. It took a good 2 weeks for most of the swelling to go away last time and then I could feel the swelling for another 4-6 weeks after that because I’d started working out. It didn’t change the scale much but was more tender.

My silly behind decided I felt great so I jumped up on the pull up bar as the hubby and kiddos do. Came down and tried to kick my legs to push me back up as they do. Well all I did was have an ab cramp and pulled my left side haha. Feels fine now but was quite a shocker at the time! So I waited a bit and used my bands. By next summer I want ONE unassisted pull-up. After that I don’t care if I ever do another one lol. But it’s a goal that helps me keep building muscle for now. I’ll have another goal then.

Sounds good Chris! 👍 I’m having a hard time visualizing it but I’ll play with it! I found a pulley in the shed just the other day and asked hubby if we could mount it on the side of the porch (6-7’ high on that end because of the slope) and figure a way to make a lat pulldown contraption! This will be so much easier and INSIDE so I won’t freeze outside lol. Thanks!!

😁 I just have to figure out how to get the bar through. I have a thick pink yard stick and a 1-1 1/2” dowel rod I can try. The dowel will probably be more comfortable for grip and I have gloves if needed. 😁
