Ok I have lost 3lb since Monday.. I weighed on two different scales today to be sure my one hadn't gone mad but yep a 3lb loss... I'm afraid that's too much in only two days. Do you guys think I should bring my calorie intake up a little?
That's a great loss! Well done! Weight fluctuates all the time. I noticed that you were breast feeding so you may need to take that into account and adapt calories. You can always change it back again.
Today I did an extra 20 minutes Physio to help me improve the muscle strength in my operated hip.
Still pre-logging food for each day and monitoring carbs/fat/protein balance.
@Izzy214 I agree about sleep. I have had a few late nights this week and it has affected my energy levels.
Must keep an eye on that. 0 -

Yeah my supply really dropped my calories were just too low so I had to bring it up to 1800 and I have maintained that 3lb loss but not dropped any more which is ok. My supply has started to recover so I'm thankful for that. Slow and steady is how I'd like the weight to come off. Healthy mammy and healthy baby0 -

Wake Up Early & Exercise
How you wakeup could have great impact on your day. Wakeup with a pleasant sound that still wakes you up, the snooze button is forbidden. You should wakeup the same time every day and No Procrastination. Get up get moving! Pair up with a buddy and hit the gym or go for a run, walk, etc. Work for a specific goal. If you focus on your goals then exercise will become less of an obligation, and you'll see it as a hurdle to cross.0 -
Everyone who made it through another week with a loss. If you plateaued, don't worry. The scale will start moving again. Just focus and keep going. Today is a new day, a chance to make things right with you. We all can make afresh start even if we have been losing. We can keep pushing forward with a clear vision of your goals and the finish line. Be fearless and take it minute by minute and be proud of every accomplishment, be it big or small.
Focus on that finish line and how great it will feel to reach your goals.
I lost 1 lb. and a total of 2.2lbs. this past week.
What I did to reach my goals today:
I got up recommitted myself to my journey with clear focus and determination.0 -

I'm going the wrong way! I had a bad week (obviously). Was out of town, ate out in too many restaurants, had birthday cake and a few pieces of Halloween candy, and drank alcohol. Today I took a step class and jogged/walked on the treadmill. I started couch25k 6 weeks ago and can run 20 min straight which is a HUGE accomplishment for me. Getting myself in gear and hoping I can get below the 230s by next week's weigh in.0 -

Glad to be moving in the right direction again!
It's been a tough couple weeks for me. First I hurt my back and then as soon as that got better, I got a nasty chest cold. I haven't been able/up to exercising, so I've been focusing on my calorie intake. Hoping to feel better soon and get moving again!
I was feeling down on myself for really not losing anything this month, but I looked back at my reports and saw that I'm still down 12 lbs for 90 days and 49 lbs since March 1. It was a great reminder for me and got me motivated to keep going. Next week I plan on officially hitting the 50 pounds lost mark.
Good luck to everyone!0 -
Ok... I am going to join as of tomorrow (It's 1am here in London and I have done my fair share of snacking unfortunately) Its disguising the number of calories I consume lare at night whilst watching tv. So I THINK I understand it... Setting myself a goal of not eating/snacking after 9pm (only water is allowed) Will weigh in once a week reporting on progress using the following format:
Me:
LNS:
Strike:
OR
Should I just list week 1..week 2... etc with how much I weigh?
Help... really need support to shift the weight and think this method + you guys could really help me. Any advice will be much appreciated # desperate times!

Ok second day on Paleo and I am doing fine. Down a pound but tired.
What did I do today to help me lose weight?
I got in 5346 steps and stay focused on my meal plan. I am taking it 1 day at a time.0 -
I feel stuck. Help!
It's an unfortunate law of weight loss: The last 10 pounds are harder to shed than the first 30. That's because the slimmer you become, the fewer calories you burn just going about your day. For every pound you lose, your metabolism slows by up to 20 calories a day.
The solution is to stop traditional dieting and extreme exercise approaches altogether, and find a way to eat and exercise you can do forever.
I recommend starting with nutritional changes only. Increase dietary protein and up your fibrous veggies (all veggies except starchy varieties like potatoes, corn, peas, etc.) Kick the sugar and booze.
And then keep doing these things.
Consistency with a tight nutrition plan is the most tried-and-true approach to resetting your weight. Consistency means not days or weeks, but months and years. The leanest people are the most consistent. They are not constantly trying new "diets" and meal plans—they find what works for them and stay 90% consistent 100% of the time with it. (PRVT)

Wonderful Water
One of the best home remedies for weight loss is limiting how many calories you intake at each meal, by drinking a full glass of water prior. This will help fill you up and take away part of the hunger pang. It will also help you identify if you truly are hungry, as many people tend to think they are hungry when truly they are dehydrated.

Yesterday I gave myself a sharp kick in the pants. I have been prevaricating for weeks, and not losing weight. I am taking this on board pronto. The only thing I don't do is blame others.
I have a total personal responsibility attitude to life, but complacency has crept in over the last month. I am kicking it to the kerb, starting NOW! Treats will be non-food except on rare occasions. I have rewritten the 6 points as positive affirmations as I think that will work for me.
New Health Affirmations
make healthy choices about every bite I eat be prepared to make sacrifices non-food treats only, except for out of the ordinary events practice my new habits daily kick complacency into touch reaffirm my commitment to total personal responsibility for my health choices 0 -
You can do this Terri! Its great that you are back on track. Journal your food and exercise daily, NO EXCUSES!
We are here for you anytime you need a push.0
