Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 178/Happy to join this group! I lost weight, using a different MFP account, 7 years ago, but I gained it back. Hope I’ve learned my lesson! Wish I’d weighed first thing this morning. 😊
9/26 176.2 (when I woke up), 176.6 (after my walk?) I’m in my first week honeymoon period.
9/27 175.6 I’ll enjoy the rapid decline while it lasts. I know that will soon change.

9/25 155.6 well well well, look who decided to show lol. So apparently my mind can't adjust fast enough to my new weight (especially because I thinks it's the fastest I have ever lost) so being apart of a few groups I accidently weighed in last weekend at 166.6 instead of 156.6 😣😣 oops. Well you are all witnesses to the proof I have of my actual weight lol. But even still, every morning I still have to check 3 or 4 times because I can't believe it. Hopefully the next 10 pounds won't be as unbelievable.

9/26 154.4 whoooooooooosh!! Why, no clue. I did work out hard yesterday but still... wow. Today I have been having some anxiety. I have worked out hard and have been eating normally. I don't starve and I don't deny myself (unless it's super junk food, then that's all will power) I know mentally I have been doing everything right and my quick weight loss is all activity and portion control....but I'm starting to feel scared. I'm scared that it will be so easy to gain it all back if I jump the wagon again..I'm scared of having to do this again for 10000 time if i slack. I am looking forward to improve and not be re set into my old ways but who knows what the future holds. The only reassurance I have is not all my rounds have been perfect and weeks like last week have happened ( I was so hungry all week and pretty much had the worst eating week since I have started) but my gains haven't been too large and I still end it with losses. I am assuming as long as I never binge again I will be fine...but I don't know.

9/27 154.4 holding steady. I had munchies last night but settled for 2 pieces of dark chocolate. Worked out well but didn't do as much as I wanted. Drank 1.2 liters of water. I am feeling bloated though, 2 days away from TOM. Today I went to the hospital with my aunt, she has some inflammation in her leg and we just wanted to check it out, just in case (she is a cancer survivor so anything becomes worrisome) and to thank me for coming out she took me to a pub where we ordered chicken schnitzel and frites..it was delicious but I know it will negatively reflect on my weight tomorrow morning. Oops😞😞

Round #1 for me, my name is Brett 31yrs old and I started at 285lbs, after a relatively short period I got down to 250, then I plateaued, now I have gained a few pounds back and I would like something to keep me accountable. Anyways off to the races :P My goal weight this round would be 248, maybe 247 because I think I am holding onto some water weight, overall goal weight is 200, and ultimate goal weight is 180, though that does seem a lil low for someone with my build and height, but according to the BMI thats healthy, but i dont know where they get those statistics, I was 180 in Junior High and sure i was skinny, but also scrawny xD

9/25: 253.4 lbs
9/26: 252.4 lbs - Lol I wish every day was like today, but I know its just water weight coming off, just got back from vacation Monday, and I may have had 1 too many beers xD
9/27: 250.2 lbs - Started doing rowing machine yesterday, 4 sets of 15 minutes, 2-3 minute break in between, what a difference, sadly again thats gotta be water weight, theres no way I could lose that much everyday haha

In all, I want to drop 55 (so I have 51 and a half left now). I'm 5'6" and started weighing 185 lbs, so my goal is about 130. I'm trying to set small, realistic goals so that I can motivate myself with my successes.

My goal for this round is to stay under my calorie goal, 1200, and to lose 3 more pounds.

Round 53: SW: 185 EW: 182 (3 lbs lost)
Round 54: SW: 181.5:

Goal Weight for Round 54: 178.5

Day/Weight/Comment

9/25 181.5; 48 oz of water. 1,000 calories. I’M HUNGRY!!!!

9/26 - 181.2; Didn’t do very well on water intake today, but managed to consume only 1,000 calories. Keto diet is going well, eating lots of fat and around 20 grams of carbs.

9/27 - 182; Ugh. 128 oz of water. Purposely went over my calorie goal today to give my body a sort of restart. 31 grams of carbs. 1,779 calories.

Hi everybody. Joining a little late but just found this thread. I’m 5’3” and currently 187. I’m trying keto and low calorie and would like to drop at least 10 by Oct 13th.
9/27 weight: 187, I did well today on my calories (under 1000) and my carbs (under 30) it was mostly due to a high stress day but I’ll take it over any late-night bingeing!

Hi you all! I finished the previous challenge which I couldn't lose weight but weigh myself every day and try to control myself. That was something to start. In this challenge, my aim is to REALLY control myself. My goals are:
*Not to eat junk food
*Drink alcohol max 3 glasses in 10 days (if possible no drink because of reflux)
*Go to the gym 6 times in 10 days
*Drink enough water
*Don't drink coffee for a while (because of reflux)


9/25
I forgot to weigh myself today, because of being late to the work... But yesterday I drank a little alcohol and ate too many carbs (pasta...), not a good day.
9/26 85.9 kg (189.3 lbs)
Failed too soon. I ate Nutella with a spoon and it wasn't enough I ate a whole chocolate bar. Don't know why I'm doing this... And I'm very busy and tired these days with work, for this reason, I cannot go to the gym. If I've been motivated enough I believe I could go, but I'm not yet... I hope today I won't disappoint myself.
9/27 85.7 kg (188.9 lbs)
Yay! I hope I get rid of 86's at last! Yesterday was good, no junk food and alcohol. However, I couldn't go to the gym. I was busy all day and really exhausted.
9/28 85.5 kg (188.4 lbs)
Yes, this is the right way. I'm really happy I'm kinda getting better. Yesterday night even I was tired I went to the gym. I didn't eat junk food or drink alcohol. However, I always eat carbs. I'm a vegetarian and so it's kinda hard to decrease carbs, but I don't have to eat bread all day...

04/10: xxxxx: Goals

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.

• Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
• A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
• Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
• The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
• Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
• The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
• When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
• Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

A year ago, I weighed 205 lbs!

I begin this journey at the weight of 228.3 1,000 days ago!

I rarely need to use willpower or motivation, as 100’s of tiny habits I developed slowly over a long time carry me along!

Despite what people say about it gets harder as time goes on, this time I found quite the opposite: it’s been the easiest ever. I only wish The research on changing habits, all of these apps, and the Apple Watch had been invented earlier!

9/25 159.6 water weight from injury & brace I am wearing... all will be fine! Eating less than normal & still walking.
9/26 161 or 162, can’t remember...still retaining a lot of fluids as body responds to break, meds, bruising. Surgery in 7 days.

9/27. 160.4 ***1,000th Day ***
On average, I’ve lost 1/2 a lb per week for 143 weeks!!! 250 calorie deficit daily. Barely noticeable changes over 1,000 days yielded a total weight loss of 68-71 pounds!
Small habit changes + time = big results

9/28 home, different scales, run? - 71.4kg, I put this down to different scales, late, salty dinner and wine above cals, DOMS/water retention, not enough water in the day and general travel stuff. I won't be able tk run today as I am too sore and tired. May get to it on Sunday, but we'll see. I won't be logging the next few days as I don't want to spoil my time with family&friends by worrying about going over my cals. As always, I will try not to go crazy, tomorrow I have my dad's 70th birthday brunch/lunch and then a get together with friends for dinner&drinks - there is no way I will not go over, I will try and make the best choices available.

9/27 - 250.4...over calories, 45 min walk and 50 oz of water. I had been doing really well with cutting off eating early (around 3pm) and not snacking nighttime. Yesterday I had supper at 5pm and ended up snacking all night.
9/28 - 251.0..over calories, 44 min walk and 91 oz of water. I went out for supper with a cousin that I haven't seen in a while, ate too much and had a high calorie adult beverage...it was fun and completely worth it though!
