The 1.2 pound loss seems like a real change to me! Great job buddy! 🙂
I know that struggle all too well. Sometimes it just feels like metabolism has totally quit! But the things you’re doing will work over time, so don’t be discouraged 🙂
1.4 lbs lost in a week is good progress, especially during a busy week! What change to the strategy do you think is needed?
Understandable! Hopefully after this week you’ll get all the rest and relaxation you need and deserve!
Hi I need accountability as well, message me
Bowl Leader
Thanks. For now, what I need is to update this post weekly and for someone to ask me about any update on weeks I post nothing.
You can create a post as well & I’ll be your buddy on it.
I’m also trying to achieve wait loss goals, if you want another accountability buddy
Bowl Leader
Cool. Just create a post on here with your goal (and possibly plans) and I’ll be your accountability buddy.

Yeah, I think so too.
As for the ab exercises (about 5/6), I pulled them off YouTube & do them daily. And the yoga really helps too (10 mins daily with Kassandra on YouTube).
I’ll see how to increase my cardio.

The clothes are getting bigger, I have more energy, and even more endurance.
While I’ll love the scale to drastically reduce, I don’t think much about it since all the remaining measurements are in the right direction.
And thanks. Awaiting your report tomorrow. 😀

WEEK 10 UPDATE:
Was my birthday last week. Ate enough junk & sweets, I didn’t weigh myself as I’m sure I gained a few pounds.
Got a stationary bike as gift. Gonna incorporate that into my routine this week.
Great, you deserved it! Gotta celebrate the birthday the right way! 🎂 🥂
Bowl Leader
WEEK 11 UPDATE:

Ah, I know your pain all too well 😕 Hang in there, both for your personal goal and for work! 🙂
Bowl Leader
WEEK 11 UPDATE:
Clean ate & exercised for 2 days. 12 - 14 hrs work days for the rest of the week made exercising & clean eating almost impossible.
I need a better strategy or this goal is becoming an illusion.
Weight: 246.6 lbs (1.4 loss)
Biceps: 17” (no gain/loss)
Face: 22.80” (0.05 gain)
Waist: 43” (no gain/loss)
Looking forward to a better week.

WEEK 12 UPDATE:
Eating was bad this week, due to long working hrs. Found time to stretch every now & then; was also able to ride my bike twice this week (about 7 mins on average).
Weight: 246.0 (0.6 loss)
Biceps: 17” (no gain/loss)
Face: 22.80” (no gain/loss)
Waist: 42.25” (0.75 loss) - unexplainable, except that I sat less & stretched more.
Was expecting the numbers to be bad, but so far, they seem manageable.
Looking forward to next week.
Bowl Leader
Lol.....thanks. I wouldn’t say that I have a feasible plan yet.
But doing something is better than doing nothing, right? 😀
Bowl Leader
WEEK 13 UPDATE:
My macros were off this week; more carbs than proteins & veggies.
Combined that with soft drinks & sweetened coffee, but balanced with fruits.
I didn’t really exercise this week, except for a 10-min biking. But I did perform a lot of stretches, push-ups and practised hand balancing exercises during my resting period.
I can do better.
Weight: 245.4 (0.6 lbs loss)
Biceps: 17 (no gain/loss)
Face: 22.80” (no gain/loss)
Waist: 41.75 (0.5 loss)
Looking forward to next week.

Thanks, bud. Here’s to hoping for a better week.
Hope you’re sending your update today.

WEEK 14 UPDATE:
My meal wasn’t so good this week. SO baked some good cakes, cookies, and burgers and they were irresistible.
Exercise-wise, I continued with my bodyweight exercises. In the morning & evening, I do some push-ups, stretches, and handstands. I also stopped sitting in chairs and prefer lying on the carpet instead. It makes me less tired & easier to do 1 or 2 push-ups while resting.
Weight: 244 lbs (1.4 loss)
Biceps: 17” (no gain/loss)
Face: 22.80” (no gain/loss)
Waist: 41.25” (0.5 loss)
Looking forward to next week.
I’m sure you can do it! Food is definitely the biggest piece of the puzzle, so if you focus up there you should see that two pounds in a week. Overall it was a great week for you based on the results though, so don’t forget to be happy with the progress! 😃
Bowl Leader
WEEK 15 UPDATE:
Meals were 60% good. Had coffee (with sugar + creamer) daily, along with lots of carbs (homemade burger, rice). I could increase my protein intake & reduce the carbs.
Good exercise week. Daily stretching, push-ups. Daily crow’s pose practice, hand stand practice, and more stretching. My energy level has increased.
Weight: 244.4 lbs (0.4 gain)
Biceps: 17.25” (0.25 gain)
Face: 22.25” (0.55 loss)
Waist: 41.25” (no gain/loss)
Looking forward to next week.
