Starting weight: 330
This morning: 301
Total loss 29lbs
After a few weeks where I put at least 6lbs on (possibly a lb or two more, I refused to weigh myself for at least ten days), I'm back where I was, which I'm really pleased about. Putting weight on takes so little time, taking it off is somewhat less easy!
Two more lbs, and I'm in Twos-town....4 -
Well done Jenni, It is most unfair that it goes back on so easily. I still have a few pounds to go before finish undoing damage I did in April. We can celebrate though that at least we got right back to work disposing of the lb's again instead of carrying them around for months and adding more. You are so close to that goal.0

My Starting weight was 308# on Feb 29th, 2016. I stepped on that delightful little scale this morning and it groaned back at me (but not nearly as bad a groan as in the past) 265.8#
I am down 42.2# so far!4 -
I totally forgot I was part of this group. I weigh myself every Monday, after working out and showering. I usually get on and off the scale about three times to see if I get the same number. If I have a gain, I usually weigh later in the day or the next day to see if it was a fluke.
After that I make my peace and wait until the following Monday to weigh.
I have to weight myself to know how I am doing with my eating. I thought about weighing monthly, but I know it probably would not work for me.1 -

Soon glad to be below 300, now at my 2009 weight. Next stop 292 my 2008 weight, then 255 my 2003 weight, then 240 my 2002 weight then 226 my 2001 weight. Then 220 my 10th grade weight. Then it's maintenance time!2 -
I do my weigh-ins on Wednesdays.
My starting weight (on 3/23/2016) was 302 lbs.
Total weight GAINED since starting was: + 1.4 lbs.
My prior weekly weigh-in weight (on 5/11/2016) was 291.0 lbs.
My current weekly weigh-in weight (on 5/18/2016) was 303.4 lbs.
Weight GAINED during the last week was: + 12.4 lbs.
Bad news--was off my diet all last week, so I expected to gain all my weight back.
Good news--I'm starting over for the 5th time, beginning today.0 -
A happy surprise on the scale -- 4 lbs lost this week. I haven't had that kind of number since the first few weeks when losing weight was easy. Total loss is now 31.6 lbs.3

Stick with it Barney my journey has not been smooth either
I think what works best for me is filling my life with non food activities. Walking has been fantastic because it gets me moving, it reduces my stress levels and uses up lots of my time. Been raining where I am today and just been sat around bored and munching. I am going to look into getting myself some waterproof gear. Walking seems to be working fantastic for Rob
too. Great losses there. I have now decided that I am not fat. I simply have excess fuel storage and the walking is using up the fuel store. Every step I take is lightening the load.
1st Jan 330
1st Feb 313 lost 17
1st March 313 Stayed the same
1st April 292 lost 21
1st May 306 Gained 14
Today 293 Lost 13
overall loss so far 37lb
My next goal is 292 because that will be 39lb lost which is 25% of my target to lose.2 -
I realized that I haven't updated my weight/goals with you folks since I started back in March...
Jan. 2015= 312 pounds
Jan 2016= 272 pounds
Mar. 2016 (joined MFP & this group)=259 pounds
May 2016 (as of this morning)= 242 pounds
It seems weird to me now, but I really hadn't calculated my total weight loss until today--I've actually lost 70 pounds since January of 2015!
I'm now shooting for 235 by early June--it *seems* close, but I am notorious for self-sabotage, which is why I truly believe that being accountable daily to this group (& myself) is what's helped me to keep moving forwards even after I've taken a few steps backwards!

I keep bouncing around the 301lbs mark. I get there, and then something happens and I put a couple of lbs on. And then I lose those, get back to 301 and something else happens.
I don't know why I have this psychological barrier. Its not physical, I know that, and I desperately want to cross over into the 200s, but I keep holding myself back. Maybe I've been this way for so long that part of me is actually scared of being slimmer. Its weird to say that, I know, but my weight has been a great tool in the past for keeping people away from me, but its also held me back from doing the things I want.
I need to get my head straight, and get my (still sizable) butt over that barrier. I'm at 302 right now...1 -

Thanks Laura. You would think I'd feel excited or have a sense of accomplishment, but I don't. I think it's because in those 16 or so months I've lost/gained/lost so erratically that it feels like a never-ending roller coaster! I tend to beat myself up by thinking that if I had been consistent in my choices I'd be further along in this battle with weight. Still, I try to remind myself that 70 pounds is nothing to sneeze at & that it IS progress in the right direction!BigChangeNeeded wrote: »

I was feeling the same way a few weeks ago. There was some emotional "barrier" that was keeping me from moving forward. I realized that when I came close to a certain weight, it triggered unpleasant memories of painful, sad events that occurred when I was at that particular scale # a few years back, and I would start to "eat" that pain again...weird huh?! I'm still struggling with it, but once I figured it out I was able to move forward a bit. I hope you figure it out!

Sorry I've been absent here in the group for a while. Work just keeps being crazy. Currently, I'm stalled out at 279 - 281. Been on this plateau for 11 days now. In an effort to get off the plateau, I have made a completely new exercise routine, and started it yesterday. Here's to hoping that the next few days break through!1

Starting weight: 304
Last week: ?? (off track for weeks. Last weigh in was 269 on 04/25)
Current weight: 266.4
Total Loss: 37.6 lb
Thankfully, I've managed to lose (even only 2.6 lb) while not really tracking for a month! While I'm not happy that I got so off track, I'm really pleased knowing the months before that got me into healthier habits that enabled me to maintain/continue to lose while not paying attention. Hopefully back on track this week!1 -

Fluctuations happen. Stay focused, keep working, and you'll get to where you want to be. I have fluctuated as much as 6 lbs before. Just take a deep breath, shake it off, and get back at it!1 -
My weight loss has fluctuated all over the place but 289lb as of this morning which is lowest I have been for well over a year.5

Well... I am guilty of weighing myself everyday. It has become an obsession. I have also noticed that my scale and the one at the Dr. are different. But I can now
say without a doubt I am officially back in the 200's! I'm so super excited about this and it is such a huge motivator knowing how much time and effort I'm putting into getting healthy and it is finally paying off! I would like to meet that 40lbs gone by my 40th bday3
