Way to go Faux!
I lost 4 lbs this week and hit the 40 lb milestone finally - im at 41.5 lbs lost! Woooo hooo milestone week in here!
Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!8 -
I got on the scale today out of random curiosity. Tuesday isn't usually a day I weigh myself. (I usually check Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday and log any decent loss.)
BUT THEN THIS HAPPENED??? And I didn't expect to go from 201 to 199 in one day? I know ~30 pounds isn't much compared to what other people here have achieved, but I haven't been under 200 since middle school! And last year I graduated high school! I am so emotional right now!8 -
Congrats on reaching oneunderland, it's a very big deal,
a great Tuesday surprise!

That is great so happy for you you worked very hard and got a nice surprise reward today good for you!!1 -
Eyy I ate very low sodium yesterday and I guess the combo of that and my normal diet and exercise did the trick? As of this morning I have lost over 50 pounds!!
51, to be exact--I'm almost halfway to goal!8 -
congrats, Wind! I know how much you've been struggling lately, so that makes this victory all that much sweeter, right?0

I had a woosh week this week and lost 4 pounds!
Though I really don't think I truly lost 4 lbs this week - last week, the scale said I had only lost 0.4 lbs, so I think I must have been retaining water or something that day and had apparently lost more than the scale was telling me. Well, that, and apparently my weight goes up for a few days to as much as a week after I do strenuous, sustained activity. For the last few weeks, I've been doing a lot of physical work from painting to building things and cleaning, and I've noticed that the weeks after such work, my weight loss stalls or even seems to go up a lb or two, but then I'll have a woosh the following week like this time. I guess its water retention and maybe even a result of my body working to repair the muscle, but it can be very frustrating! I know - I just need to remind myself that all that work is the same as doing weight training since I'm lifting and tugging and working my muscles out, so in a way, I'm building muscle which often does that to the scale.
anyway, my next milestone was to below 310 by the end of June, so it's entirely achievable - maybe. I had hoped to be below 310 by June 19 and my doctor's appointment, but I'm not going to quite make that goal, even though I came pretty close. Next week is going to be difficult though; I'm going to a 4 day conference next week at Grove City College in PA and will be staying on campus, which means I'll be at the mercy of their buffet the entire week. It's going to be very, very difficult to track calories! On the flip side, they're having us stay in the dorms on the other side of the campus from the meeting hall, so there is opportunity for walking there.

Great job on the wooshing!!! Good luck at your conference!!!
You'll be in my back yard. I am only about 45 min north of Grove City - my husband always kids when we drive down Interstate 79 that my car automatically wants to turn into the Outlet Mall!!!

I've heard of the outlet mall for years, but never been in it. I better watch my car, though and make sure it stays in the straight and narrow! lol1

After one month of bouncing around 230 I finally whooshed to 226 this morning! I'm ecstatic!!8
-
I crossed my halfway point for weight loss today! 75 pounds down!!7
-
That's incredible!!! Congratulations!0

1 lb loss this week! considering the terrible diet I had last week and the week before that, I'll take it! I had thought I had gained pretty badly at the conference, since Monday's scale showed a 5 lb gain from the last time I weighed in, but apparently that was false data, probably because my sodium intake had been up pretty badly all week. I've been pretty good at buckling down this week and sticking to my calorie limit and not sneaking in snacks here and there, so I hope I'm back on track.
Though this coming weekend is going to be difficult - I have a family reunion to attend (for a family that is filled with excellent home-style, old fashioned cooks), and then a church picnic the following evening. I may skip out on the church picnic; we'll see how I do at the family reunion!2 -
@TheVonada Fricken inspiring!
I am under 275 for first time in at least 5 years. 25 lbs gone but 75ish more to go. I slowed down weight loss to make my workouts better so its going to be long damn road.5 -
After 4 weeks off plan and now 2 weeks back on, I am finally back down to my numbers for the end of May. Ready to start posting some scale numbers again. Been 6 to 7 weeks since I have been able to enter a lower number. Excited to be back with the program!1
-
Every day since my last weigh in on 7/6, I have stepped onto the scale to see the exact same number. And when I checked my measurements yesterday, they had stayed the same as last month.
so I was very surprised and pleased to see a lower number this morning, my official check in day, when I stepped on the scale - I had a 1lb loss.
It's probably water weight, but I'll take it!3 -
I weighed myself this morning and after a hellish plateau (6 weeks) I've finally had a loss to my lowest weight for a total of 54.4 pounds.2
-
It has been 2 months since I have been able to enter a lower number on mfp. This morning I was able to add to my overall loss! So relieved to have worked back down from those extra pounds I found in June. Finally now back with our regular weight loss program.0
-
congratulations to you both, Zhiv & Dawn!
Zhiv: a 6 week plateau? You have my greatest sympathies - that had to be so extremely frustrating! hellish indeed. But you didn't give up and finally reached the edge; that's awesome!
Dawn: 2 months?!!! You're doing wonderful by not quitting or giving up! That did have to be horribly discouraging. I'm very happy for you!

Those 2 months were not a plateau. They were gaining 5 to 6 lbs in June and eating a bunch of junk. Then finally pulling it together and having to undo the consequences of that splurge. I am hoping I will be able to remember this when we hit the holiday season. Anyone else think Halloween to Christmas is just one big opportunity for junk food indulgence? Let be there for each other this year and see some positive scale results through those months.1
-
Finally finally finally! I had a woosh this week and lost 4 lbs. Considering my mental state the last few weeks, this was badly needed!
I'm so close to my first primary goal now, I can taste it. I'll have to brace myself because I do expect a slow down next week, but I'm very happy today!3 -
Congrats @bmeadows380 !! I know how much of a relief it is to finally have the scale move! I saw your check-in post, too - I had to start running in the mornings for the exact same reason, it's too hot to walk during the day and I'm too tired at night. Maybe start small with that if you can? As for weight training, you can start with a yoga mat and some bodyweight stuff like squats for now and progress when you're ready! That's basically how I started. You got this!0

I finally whooshed to my second mini goal of 220!! After a weekend of hanging out on the river and not really policing myself but being the most conscious I've ever been about my activity level/food intake and I did it! Sometimes I really think a relaxing few days is the key to my whooshes.0

When I first signed up for MyfitnessPal in January, I set my goal weight at 300 lbs. I have achieved that goal this week! Now its time to go re-set my profile for the next goal!4
