What is working-- still logging on and tracking religiously. Getting more sleep (even if it is the form of naps after work, LOL). I think my new Apple watch is better at tracking exercise calories than my old fitbit. Had a couple of calorie splurges this week, and wasn't derailed.
What isn't working-- not happy with my water intake this week, and felt chained to my desk more than usual, AFA movement during the day.0 -

More time in the gym; made it a couple of days, but need to be more regular
Need to find ways to work in more veggies and protein0 -

What's working: Thanks to an event at work this week, I doubled my step goal 4 days (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday). I also am willingly waking up earlier to work out and make breakfast or walk to work more often. The finale of the event yesterday brought a huge buffet with it, and I made smart decisions to not over-eat.
What's not working: I forgot to drink water a lot this week... too busy to get back to a sink or water cooler. Also still stress-grazing when I get home late at night. And there was probably too much alcohol in my week... mostly last night.0 -
SW: ~296 lbs (01/01/2017)
GW: <190 lbs (top of my healthy BMI range)

Loss last week: +1.1 lbs
Total loss: -46.0 lbs
What's working, what's not:
Been doing two steps forward and one back the past couple month on my weight. I'll mark it down to too much salt for the time being.

SW: 300lbs - 136 kg
CW: 286.16 lbs - 129.8 kg
GW: 175 then maintaining/building to 200 and 10-15% body fat
Loss Last Week: 2.14
Total Loss: 13.84
Short term goal: 284 by June 1st
What's Working:
I have a food scale and it's helping me tighten up my tracking. I like being looser on macros on weekends. I still stayed within net goals after exercise but my god was pizza good after walking 5k in the morning to "pay" for it.
What's Not:
Restaurants and sodium. Finding the calorie count on foods not listed in MFP and the sodium is a pain. The other issue is even if I can find the values sodium at restaurants is insane. 1 bowl of Udon pushed me 300 over my daily sodium limit.
Notes: 5 km in less than an hour this weekend. I know its a horrid time but I am still proud. Haven't walked or ran that far that fast in likely over 10 years! Leg did throb at end of walk for good 20minutes but pools open up in a week and I'll be able to walk/swim in pool with less impact on leg.

Old small goal : below 23 st by end of April - MET!
New small goal : below 22 st by 12th June.
Loss this week : -1lb
Total loss since SW: -33lb
What's working- I'm finding the Fitbit a good motivator. I know I'm moving more than I would without it. I also know that when I was logging calories manually that I was underestimating apparently.
What could be better - I only lost 1lb this week and my goal is 2, but it was a massive 7 last week and I'm on my period (sorry if tmi) this week so I was expecting a small loss or even a little gain.
- we ate quite a few processed meals this week to save a bit of time as my husband has been working more and his grandmother is in the final stages of life. I noticed that these set the fat macros waaaaay off. So much fat in them!
- I didn't eat nearly as many excercise cals this week as I felt that it was giving me way too many (like over 1000 a day even though I was only walking about), so I'm trying to eat some but not too many and I only lost a pound so I'm thinking if I did eat more of those I might end up gaining. So will keep an eye on that!

SW: 325lbs
CW: 269.8.6lbs
GW: Initially 180lbs and then I'll decide from there how much lower I might want to go.
Loss Last Week: -3.8lbs
Total Loss - 55.2lbs
Short term goal: I'm going to carry on with aiming for 10lb increments so new goal is 270lbs by the end of May. 270lbs come and gone. So I'll aim for 260lbs by the end of June!
I was surprised by the size of my loss this week. I'm usually a 1.5 - 2.5lbs a week kinda girl. I suspect some of it is water weight from the indulgences the week before and possibly the fact that I've been ramping my workouts out up a bit - so getting a slightly higher calorie burn than I was before.
Water drinking has been slipping a little over the last few days so I need to get that back on track. I'm out to dinner tonight for a birthday celebration. I've already decided what to eat and tracked it in advance so I'm feeling pretty confident about that!4 -

This was my wedding anniversary week so I went off my normal eating habits somewhat. But, I was still was able to lose one pound so I am happy. I was afraid it would be a gain. I am finding that it is easier to get back on track than it was in the past. My mindset has changed so much and this site has really helped with that. Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support. It means the world to me.3 -
SW:415 lbs (December 2015)
CW: 325 lbs (May 13 2017
GW: 230 lbs by January 2018
Loss last week: -5 lbs
Total Loss: 90 lbs
I was stuck at 85 lbs lost for about 3 months and now I am back on track. I am super excited to reach the 100 lbs lost mark and then after that to be under 300 lbs I will probably cry lol. Have note been that low since before high school.
What Works: Counting every single thing that I eat or drink and keeping it within my calorie goal or really close to my calorie goal. I do not stress if I go 100 to 300 calories over. Cardio and Strength training combined is huge. Don't be scared to strength train it is not going to make you gain weight if you are eating at a deficit.
What does not work: Not counting things. No matter what it is or how good you think you are eating almost all of us got here by not holding our selves accountable for what we are eating. I know how it is being really heavy and hating physical activity but you will be surprised what you can do and how much you can enjoy it if you force your self to do it 2 or 3 times.8 -
congratulations, Terry! You've come a very long way and are doing great!1

Thank you I cannot wait to reach 100 lbs lost I think that is when it will become real.2

SW: 270 (February 18th 2017)
CW: 234 (May 26th 2017)
Loss so far: 36 pounds
Ultimate goal weight would be 150 but it's hard to even imagine myself that way.
First big goal is to get to 200 pounds. Small goals are in 10 pound increments.
I would like to lose 10 more pounds before July 1st but really it's about balance and my mental health as well as my physical health!
What's working: staying under calories, getting my step goal, keeping accountable with friends and mfp.
What's not working: when I don't log!2 -

What's working- I'm finding the Fitbit a good motivator. I know I'm moving more than I would without it. I also know that when I was logging calories manually that I was underestimating apparently.
What could be better - I'm going to try to meet my daily step count every day this week!
I've moved my usual weigh in from a Monday morning to a Saturday morning. I'm finding Monday mornings a bit hectic so Saturday is easier as it is family day and my husband isn't rushing about getting ready for work.

What's working: for most of this week, I did really REALLY well. I packed my lunch every day, so food was properly portioned, and that limited snacking and grazing. I amped up my H2O intake, and also pushed harder each morning in my workouts. A lot of stressors have disappeared from my life thanks to events completing, and I think that has helped too.
What's not working: Yesterday was a pizza party with my last class that I taught this semester. Definitely overdid it, so I had a small weight gain today. I'm worried that this weekend (being Memorial Day in the U.S.), I'll be tempted to binge again. So really going to try to curb that. I've also been doing some meal delivery services (Blue Apron, etc) and a lot of their meals are sodium-heavy... so going to try to start cooking more of my own meals this week, instead of relying on the boxed kits.2
