    I like to use weekly averages for my weight instead of 1 particular day. Makes me see larger trends.

    Week 1 - 226.4 down 2 lbs since this started. Yeay. :) This week was tough. I started over. Joined a gym and really made a decision not to stick to the plan.

    Week 2 - 226 down 3lbs overall and 0.4 this week. I'm still happy. Sticking to the plan.

    Week 3 - 227 It's a marathon not a sprint. I'll do better this week.

    It's the 4th week and this week you should be able to see a difference if you've been sticking to your plan.

    Feel free to share any Non-scale victories you experience this week :)

    I can't believe it's the start of week four.

    @rsamuelsgold, Thanks! I have been up and down the scale numbers in the past week. My usual due to water retention. I'm happy that it settled one pound down!

    I have been on this current weight loss journey since August/September 2017. Even though I began to feel more comfortable in my clothing, I did not notice any obvious physical changes until March 2018. I took a selfie of me and my grandson and could not believe the change in my face. I looked so gaunt! No one had commented on my appearance and I just didn't see it in the mirror. The NSV I have to share is that last week, while doing grocery shopping, a lady, unknown to me, was asking me about the cilantro in my cart, how I used it. Then commented on how it was probably helping to keep me "skinny" I was really taken by surprise by her comment. Lol. I am by no means skinny, scale wise. I still have 60 more pounds to lose. It made me feel good.

    Wow @tiabirdie56 that's a wonderful NSV.

    No one's journey is the same. The 4, 8, 12 thing helps me stay consistent because I just need to make it through one week. Just one. I often feel overwhelmed when I think about how far I still have to go. But if I can make it through one week and another and another then eventually I'll look back and be like wow see how far I've come.

    @rsamuelsgold, You will be successful. I have a similar mindset on weightloss. Mine is 10 lbs at a time. Its a short term achievable goal. If I had to think every day about losing 100 pounds, I'm sure I would have strayed during these past 10 months. I've lost 57 lbs so far.

    Week 1 – 225lbs. I exercised a lot this week but ate too many calories.
    Week 2 – 225lbs. Still no change, but I’ve done better with my diet the past few days so hopefully I’ll see a downward trend this week.
    Week 3 - 224.5lbs

    @rsamuelsgold, Thank you. Nice loss for you too!

    Last week's NSV: On Friday, I wore a pair of 100% woven cotton pants that I have not had on for at least 10 years. AND, they had room in the thigh area and loose in the waist!

    Dear Group Members,

    Someone is the thread is hitting "woo" on people's posts. Just to let you know that the "WOO" button on MFP is not a positive thing, (like woo hoo) it's a negative thing more like a boo. So it would be better if you could go back and change your "woo"'s to something else.

    Sorry to update you about this - and it's controversial that MFP has such a feature, but you might like to know what the button actually means

    @eminater, I always wondered why MFP included that as a response on the forums.

    Oh my word. Thanks for the update. I truly thought it was woo hoo.
