Jaks 9 Jul 6:25am, 9 Jul 2025 12,486 posts	Quote Pin Jaks Waves 👏 I’m wavering between 3 and 4lbs over the lowest weight I got to earlier this year. I’m having to be extra careful as my walking is starting to taper down read for my ultra in just over 2 weeks. I should really stay off the sweet things.
EvilPixie 9 Jul 7:55am, 9 Jul 2025 70,089 posts	Quote Pin EvilPixie You’ve been walking loads Jaks and so quick! I think this is the first time ever I’ve not gained weight for a marathon! I think I’m the lightest this year by a tiny amount this morning! THe next 2 months will be interesting as I’m in unknown territory. Continuing to train post marathon, a 2nd big event in 4 weeks then 4 weeks later my ultra. But scary. I’d love to lose weight for my ultra but I’m happy if I don’t gain! 👋 Gobi!
geordiegirl 9 Jul 8:30am, 9 Jul 2025 29,200 posts	Quote Pin geordiegirl Hi all. Well I’m still flitting around the same couple of lbs, my heavy social weekend def won’t have helped. To be honest it’s the weight around my belly that’s going my head in and that only become more apparent since my op! I’m hoping in time it settles but the stress of worrying about it isn’t helping. If I look at family they all carry weight here, as have I and without doing something drastic I am stuck with it. I’ve tried adding in more abdominal work and I’ve left myself with a lot of discomfort and pain due to the endometriosis scarring (I presume) I know I have a small hernia tear in that area too (also due to excessive abdominal surgeries) so if I have to be tubbier than I’d like (back to vanity) so be it. But I’ll keep on eating wisely and healthy and exercising. And keep everything crossed it will eventually melt away. Good luck for this weekends marathon Pix, you’ve smashed training as have you for Lakeland Jaks. Best of luck!

Jaks 9 Jul 8:37am, 9 Jul 2025 12,490 posts	Quote Pin Jaks Thank you Pix and gg. The overall L50 pace will be slower due to the size of the hills. My appetite has definitely increased but I’m eating the wrong things. I need to be snacking on protein.

LindsD 9 Jul 8:40am, 9 Jul 2025 74,978 posts	Quote Pin LindsD Nearly 1kg off this week again so last week's horror must have been because of the heat. Thank you all for support. Still heavier than 2 weeks ago but not as horrific.
Shades 9 Jul 8:48am, 9 Jul 2025 8,318 posts	Quote Pin Shades @geordiegirl please stop punishing yourself by doing abdominal workouts. You know you can't 'spot reduce' any part of your body and when it comes to abs that's done in the kitchen. You're doing fine eating healthily and exercising so you'll get results in time. @Night-owl well done, 2 pounds is a good loss and you wouldn't want to lose any faster. An inch off the waist is excellent progress. @LindsD whew, good last week's blip has evened itself out.

geordiegirl 9 Jul 8:57am, 9 Jul 2025 29,202 posts	Quote Pin geordiegirl Excellent work Owlie. I know you're right but the kitchen isnt helping my weight loss neither. I honestly do not know what I can reduce any further. Hence thinking I'll eat properly and exercise and beyond that I'm stuck. By abdominal workouts I am doing whatever comes up in the sessions whereas before I was doing something different but even that seems to be causing the discomfort (there's no other reason I can see)
