I have stayed exactly the same this month. It is the first month I have eaten back exercise calories. I haven't been sleeping very well and feeling very tired and hungry all the time. That hasn't been a problem before. I will be resetting my same goal for Feb. I'm away this weekend so definately not under calories but going to try and have a fresh start when I get back home. Fitness wise I had to drop everything back after being unwell over Christmas and New Year but I am almost back to pre Christmas weights and have maintained my 4 sessions a week.

This is way more weight than I've lost any other month since I've started this journey. I wanted to be more aggressive this month and I definitely succeeded. Still a little bummed I didn't lose more as I was up last week, but whatever.

Congratulations to everyone who stuck with it all month, to everyone who met their monthly goal, and to everyone who didn't but have decided to try again next month!

See y'all in February's thread!

21st :59.3 - 0kg - 0lbs loss - 1st wk of eating recommended 1200 calories BLAH, will stick to 1000 in future
28th : 58kg -1.3 kg -2.8 lbs loss - yay finally back on track

Total loss for January : 5kg / 11lb
Real loss not counting catch up for xmas .9kg / 2.1lb I'm happy with that

Must remember in future 1 week of bingeing, costs 3 weeks of catch up. So 3 wasted weeks.

I noticed I do that, too! I eat recommended 1200 calories a day and get NO loss, and occasionally a gain. I stick to 1000-1050, and I lose. It's only slightly aggravating.

Yep sometimes have to fake some cals just to make the 1000 and keep MFP happy, but def try not to go over 1050 too often. No matter how much exercise I do. This has given me a steady average loss of 1kg per week since mid August 2016. I figure 1200 will probably be my maintenance amount

January 29th: 58.0
January 31st: 57.3 -> Well I definitely didn't lose this much in 2 days, but I actually wasn't home for my past two weigh ins, and I was weighing on a different scale. So I guess I was being fooled by the scale I'm back home now and I can't believe I actually reached my goal and passed it


Total loss for January: -1.1 kg. Goal reached!

Didn't reach the goal set, but will not give up. Just going to keep going! Some victories for me this month include:
1. Passing from Obese to Overweight on the BMI scale.
2. People starting to comment on difference they see.
3. Donating more than half my closet that suddenly looked *very* baggy/frumpy on me.
