November/December Weight Management Challenge

[Catrin]

125.8 this morning!!!! I've been trying to get to 125-anything for quite some time and I did it

Anelia - I hear your frustration, and you are right about keeping your calories where you know they should be. We have to figure out what works for our bodies and run with it. I've found, at least for me, that it is good to mix things up in both diet and exercise (and it sounds like you do this). The biggest thing that did it for me when I got stuck on a loooooong plateau was to give grains up totally - but I am not telling you to do that. I feel so good not eating them that it has become a permanent change. My workouts vary from lifting heavy things that focuses on compound lifts, tabatas, metabolic conditioning, and riding inside/outside. Injuries have kept me from endurance riding for well over a year, but I think you nailed part of the problem as water retention from the really long rides. Hang in there, you will figure this out!
