@MyEvolvingJourney I love this! “LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE.”
@deepwoodslady You are doing GREAT! 2# in six days? What’s wrong with that?
@AJB1014 I would love to make egg roll in a bowl with broccoli slaw but DH would not touch broccoli!6 -

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.
9/25 130.5
9/26 131.5
9/27 130.5
9/28 130.5 Went with a friend as her guest, to the gym yesterday. Walked on treadmill 30 minutes and got 184% of steps. Went to water fitness today.
9/29 132.5 We met friends from out of town for dinner last night. It was several hours later than we usually eat. I had a salad and steak, both of which were very good. But eating late is not a good thing. I’m up 2# but know that it will pass in the next couple of days.
9/30 132.0 Did not drink enough water yesterday but had 40 oz of diet soda! I wanted “something” but made myself bloated and miserable rather than eating food I didn’t need. I think it’s a win. DH wants to ”go for a drive.” Several hours in the car and eating out.
10/1 132.5 Yesterday’s drive through the Virgin River Gorge was beautiful. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger salad for lunch. I wish it had been a patty on the salad rather than crumbled but it was what it was. I have been craving salad for about a week and finally bought the stuff to make one then went out to eat and got one. Tonight - egg roll in a bowl!!
10/2 132.5 Over 10K steps yesterday due to water fitness, doing treadmill at the gym with a friend and running errands. Most unusual.9 -

9/25: 132.4, date last night. Grilled chicken, fingerling potatoes with red bell pepper and sweet onion, and wilted spinach. The rose' was delicious.
9/26: 131.8, ran myself leaner at work yesterday. Crazy, busy, non-stop.
9/27: 131.8, beer after work at the pub. Good food day with a LNS of grapes.
9/28: 133.8, excellent example of fluid retention after consuming too much sodium and sugar. Fat loss or gain is a trend which is measured over time. Daily weight changes are the result of fluid retention and release.

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25 DNW Holy Moley, I had to leave super early for a work issue and didn't weigh, definitely subconsciously skipped the weigh in on purpose since I ate over 2000 calories yesterday, full disclosure. We will see what tomorrow looks like!
9/26 150.8 Second day of eating whatever, it was my daughter's birthday and I made quite the spread. Broke my no second's rule, indulged in warm fresh birthday donuts for dessert...plan for today through end of round is low carb. We are celebrating again on Friday with 40+ people and she requested a Southern menu, any recipes out there for brisket? I have never made it.
9/27 150.2 Good day eating, low carb higher protein, walked the hill, same plan for today. Thank you everyone for the support, and welcome to all the new people! It's a great, supportive group!
9/28 149.4 Still feeling the bloat and general discomfort of the 2 days of eating without tracking, but yesterday was good. Tonight 40+ people at my house for my daughter's birthday, Brisket, Ribs, Mac and Cheese, Green Beans, Cornbread, Salad, and her favorite Napoleon for dessert on the menu per her request. Not my normal cooking style, but it's looking tasty. Salad for me, I plan on front loading my lean protein before the function so I can just cook/mingle/hold babies and not eat! Countdown 1 week to Maui!
9/29 DNW and did not track :-(
9/30 151 Going backwards this round, I have lost focus. NSV's though I have been walking our hill 7 days a week (this is a 3 mile loop, about 40 stories according to my fitbit) It is easy for me now 2 months in, and finally getting easier for my hunny who started a month ago. Hoping to add a second loop when we get back from Maui. Back on track today (Sunday), putting the past behind me and moving forward. Too many goodies in the house and I did not resist. I threw it all away and the house is safe again. Whew.
10/1 WEIGH IN DAY 149.2 At least I am back below 150, but I still have some work to do. I started logging my food on Fitbit instead of MFP and am going to use the fitbit calorie goals instead for the rest of this round, they adjust according to my activity. Same end result I am seeking but new method, trying to keep focus. Maui in 4 days! Can't wait to eat fish!!
10/2 149.8 Looks like a maintenance round, focused on dropping to at least 149 again by end of round. Maui in 3 days- stay away from carbs til Friday!! Plan while I'm there is to fully enjoy it but that does not mean eating crazy. Plus is we have a condo, and will stop at Safeway for some stuff. Plan on fully taking advantage of the fresh fish for every dinner!

Female, 33yo 5'3
Starting weight on Monday (9/24) 177LBS
9/25- 175.4 Hit the gym and lifted weights, kept cals. in check for the day, feeling good!
9/26 -174.6 Hit the gym again for cardio trying to make it a habit so I went Mon, Tues and Wed so far this week. Will be going tomorrow as well for weight training.
9/27- 174.2 Hit the gym again this morning (4am), weight training and intervals on the treadmill. Eating went well again yesterday stayed the course. I need some rest, so no gym tomorrow morning. I will make an effort to get up and move while at work though.
9/28- 173.2 No gym truly needed the rest after 4 consecutive days, will walk for 30mins at lunch today. Also, will be back at the gym tomorrow for weight training/cardio. Feeling pretty good, but the weekend scares me as that's where I usually fall off. My goal for this weekend is to at least maintain this current weight till Monday.
9/29- 173.2 Made it to the gym for weight training and cardio first thing this morning, unfortunately I don't have a plan for eating but I may do grocery shopping today for some healthy options. My goal is to at least maintain 173.2lb until Monday
9/30- 173.2 Not sure how I managed to be 173.2 again especially considering I haven't made the best food choices this weekend, but I'll take it. No gym or treadmill today, to much to do, but I will be at it in the morning. Really hoping I have maintained at least 173.2 on Monday morning weigh-in.
10/1- 173.2 I made it 173.2 again today probably because I didn't pay much attention to macros this weekend pretty much ate at maintenance or a little above. I am happy with this because I had been on a cycle of gaining tons of water weight (probably fat also) during the weekends, then working it off on the weekday. At least now I don't have to feel like I'm starting over. No gym today still a bit soar decided to just get rest will be at tomorrow morning for weight training/cardio. Goal today is at least 10K steps.
10/2- 173.2 So, I guess I'm stuck now, yesterday went well until the evening when I decided to eat 2 chocolate covered granola bars (kids snacks). Maybe that's why the scale didn't move down, but I won't be discouraged. I went to the gym this morning for weights/cardio, I plan to do my best to make it there tomorrow for an hour of cardio as well. I have to get the evenings back in check, I did pretty well last week with avoiding the late night snacking.

9/25 177.6 I'm going to the dentist today. 😬 I'm hoping to still get 10,000 steps today!
9/26 176.4 My trip to the dentist was a little easier than I expected! And not only did I get 10,000 steps yesterday but I surpassed it! I ended the day at 11,289 which is great for a day off. I have to be really intentional about it on days off. I'm happy with it.
9/27 177.2 Water weight? I was under on calories yesterday.
9/28 177.6 Alright now...😒 I can tell that TOM is coming because I'm craving chocolate and sweets like crazy! I was able to have some chocolate yesterday and still be under calories. My son joined me in my evening walk last night which was nice!
9/29 177.6 I’m slightly annoyed by this number but I’m trying not to be. I know that I’m about to start TOM. It’s just frustrating when you’re consistently under calories and exercising. Hopefully in another couple of days it’ll start going back down again.
9/30 176.8 Well that surprised me a little! I went to a wedding after work last night and I guesstimated on calories of the food that I ate. I even had a cupcake! Being gluten intolerant, I mostly assume that there’s not going to be anything gluten free at events. But these guys had a gluten free table set up, and even had some gluten free vegan cupcakes! It’s not often I get to have something like that, so I went for it and had one!
I did not like my reaction to yesterday’s weigh in. You see, I’m not used to daily weigh ins, this is my first time doing this challenge. I had to take a step back and remind myself to look at the big picture and to not get upset over just a few days. This is a life long journey! Keep up the work and change will happen!
10/1 175.8 Another surprise but I'll happily take it! I was so stressed and tired after work yesterday that all I wanted to do was rest. So I did.
I'm excited for this new month and I'm excited to keep the progress going! Let's finish this year strong!
10/2 175.8 I stayed the same and I'm ok with it. I'm going to stay on track today even if we are going out for dinner tonight! I've taken a couple of rest days, so I'm feeling ready to get a workout in today!

Day/Weight/Comment
9/25--217.1 I First time in over a week I've gotten back to my normal water drinking levels.
9/26--216.4 Back to my pre-trip weight and trend weight. Tonight is yoga, I haven't gone in 2 weeks, I so need it. I've been thinking about getting back into weightlifting, since I have stopped going to my kettlebell club. I recently moved and the club changed it's class schedule, so it's just not convenient anymore. I'm going to get a 3 day pass from a nearby gym and try it out and see if I like it, if not there are a couple of other gyms that I can try out. I'm not a big gym person, but I do want to lift weights again and this gym also has an indoor pool which is nice too.
9/27--216.0 Did some snacking last night even though I wasn't hungry. It was definitely stress related. I knew what I was doing while I was snacking, but it was almost as if I couldn't stop myself. It was weird...almost like an out of body experience. Luckily I had eaten pretty well during the day such that the extra snacking only put me over my daily calories by less than 500. Positives for yesterday was that at least I recognized what I was doing and I curtailed the amount of damage done. Today is a new day.
9/28--216.2 Still with a downward trend. Going to try out the gym today with the free pass.
9/29--216.0 Didn't go to the gym yesterday. When I got home from work I found the pallet containing my bathroom tiles delivered near my condo door. My husband hadn't come home from work yet so I spent about 30-45 mins moving the heavy tiles into the condo. I lost any small motivation I had at the time to go to the gym. Today I am taking my dog on a hike with my hiking group and then we are going out to lunch...you have to take advantage of any nice days you can get at this time of the year. I may be running around and doing some errands later depending on how I feel after the hike.
9/30--216.4 Lunch yesterday and I drank very little water on yesterday's hike. When I hike I forget to drink water, I'm so focussed on the hike I find that unless it's really hot out I don't drink as much water when I hike. Going out today to look for some paint for the bathroom and then doing some chores around the house, it's supposed to be rainy today. Trending weight is still going downward!
10/1--216.9 Did not drink a lot of water yesterday. Still working on getting my fiber levels up. Zumba tonight.
10/2--216.0 Up and down. Last night I realized that I was losing some focus this round. Didn't record my food for 2 days and I haven't been as active this round and it is showing up on the scale as these constant fluctuations this round. This morning I told myself it's only two more days for this round and just focus on my eating and water. Going on vacation in 2 days and the diet break will definitely be helpful.

@denswrex I dropped 6 lbs when I stayed in Maui. The daily 4 mile round trip walks to the beach and the 7 mile round trip walks to the market combined with a diet high in fresh fish, veggies, and fruit, I came back home in great shape.
@puttyputty Fantastic news!!! Made me cry with relief for you.
Catching up with everyone this morning before work I've noticed several discouraged posts. Please be aware it isn't metabolically possible to gain or lose grossly measurable fat overnight. The ups and downs on the scale are representative of fluid gains and losses. These fluctuations are helpful visuals of our consumption habits. Increased salt and sugar (simple carbohydrates) intake leads to fluid retention just as decreased consumption leads to fluid release. Use these fluctuations as a learning tool to help you adjust your consumption for long term fat loss.
Prolonged decrease in overall calories (consumed minus used) results in body fat loss due to carbon exchange. Track your progress using the chart on the MFP app/website. If the trend is downward, you're on the right track. If not, go back to your log for the time period you don't see progress. Most likely you will see multiple days in which consumption was not in line with fat loss.10 -

10/02 - 174.0 @quiltingjaine is right. I have lost 2.0 pounds this round which was my goal. I shouldn’t sweat the small fluctuations. But I know I’ve slipped up on my diet and my exercise level has been much lower than usual so I will get back to the grind. However, I should not expect to see the scale go down every single day. It just doesn’t work like that. Thanks @quiltingjaine for reminding me that it is a lifestyle, a journey and a process to lose weight and get healthy. This won’t be my last disappointment I am sure, but I will try to weather the storms with a little more ease and confidence.

I’m 59, female, mostly plant based, and lover of outdoors. This is my fourth round; the first one really kept me accountable, the second one was an eye-opener and the third one was really hard. What I have learned: 1) my foods and the amounts really matter; 2) My tracking needs to be accurate and if I eat it, it needs to be tracked; 3) Don’t let a slip turn into an all-out landslide! This round’s goals: no eating after supper (and eat at the table, not in front of the TV), no trigger foods, get back up when I fall, develop a “fall” work-out plan (by 10/1/18), and to stay up-to-date with my Bible study. Honor God with my food choices!

9/30/18 – 124.4 / Got a lot of steps in yesterday (20,000+) and a water aerobics class. Had popcorn last night (homemade) and that usually bring my weight up, so it’s expected. Hopefully tomorrow it’s back down. Fighting a headache today and because of that I’m fighting cravings for junk foods. Being accountable to this with you all and praying for strength. Have a great Sunday!
10/1/18 – 125 / I don’t quite get it. I’m going to concentrate on getting more water in each day. My weight fluctuations are showing me how much even a little cheating affects me. I know some of the foods aren’t good for me, but … Today is October 1 and I picked my Beachbody fitness routine for this month. Since I road bike a lot from the time it gets somewhat warm to the end of October, I wanted to start back at the basics in terms of strength. P90 or Power 90 have worked well in the past … good ‘ole standbys! In November I’m going to attempt the new program LIIFT. It intimates me, so I want to build up a good base this month before attempting anything else. Tonight is water aerobics – love that class!😊
10/2/18 – 122.8 / Went to water aerobics last night and walked this morning. It’s a busy work day and I have lots to do… hopefully that will keep the food cravings at bay! Glad that the weight went down. Consistency is my goal with more water! I’ve realized that trigger foods are not something I can have “in moderation”.

Round 54 (My 8th Round)
9/25 156 I did great on all my macros until the late night craving hit me. I was a couple hundred calories under after dinner so it just ended up balancing out after I ate what I was craving. Just wish it didn't hit me so late. On a brighter note, loved the fall like weather yesterday morning! It was beautiful out. Can't wait until it stays like that for a while, and the trees start turning. The park I go to to walk is so beautiful, especially when the leaves start turning 😊.
9/26 155 yayy I am so excited. 10 pounds away from a normal BMI. I am beyond proud of myself. Yesterday was also a light day so I know that's contributed to part of this loss but I'm still taking credit for all the hard work.
9/27 155 soo happy that the scales were correct yesterday. I was speaking to someone yesterday who was complimenting me and asking how much weight I had lost, and my Husband overheard me tell them I still wanted to lose more. He doesn't want me to lose any more lol but I told him that I loved him, but I am doing this for me and I want to be happy with my body, and healthy.
That is really what matters in this whole thing, do this for "you". Being an inspiration to my family is a plus also, because I want them healthy as well.
9/28 155 Ate junk half the day yesterday so my macros were high. Stayed under my goal but I did use some exercise calories. I decided I'm going to walk at least 2 miles/day a few times a week, on top of my daily exercises. Would like to work my way up to jogging/running but it's hard to do right now because I always have my 5 month old with me. Maybe Santa will bring me an Elliptical for Christmas this year 😊.
9/29 155 was well under my calorie goal yesterday but I feel like my body has been retaining water. I have been drinking lots of water, at least trying to. Higher on the sodium end though the past 2 days, and I've had hot sauce the past 2 days at dinner. I sure hope I don't have to give up my love for hot sauce
. Will be drinking cucumber water today, hopefully that'll help.
9/30 154 Excellent way to end September, with another pound lost 😊 and my round goal met. Great day yesterday. Had around a gallon of water, most of it being cucumber water. I could tell it really made a difference as I was relieving water all day yesterday. I made a fresh pineapple strawberry smoothie for dinner. I need to do that more often, I think light dinners really help. It's also easier to do when Hubby isn't around, he has been in graveyard shift all weekend.
10/1 154 I'll be content if I stay here this round
. I am thanking God every day for allowing me to get my health in control, even though I am still a working progress. Yesterday I went over on my total fat, like a good bit over. Not too worried about it though because I didn't eat bad, I added almonds into my diet and I had peanut butter in my oatmeal as well.
10/2 154 Didn't eat the greatest yesterday, my husband brought me home a chicken biscuit. Had cubed steak and gravy for dinner and also had 2 mini cupcakes for dessert. BUT on a positive note, I walked 2 miles yesterday morning, did zumba in the evening and I added a new 5 minute squat routine. Going to make better food choices today. Still humble .

13th Round for me: Female 65, height – 5’
Last round I wrote “I’m hoping that [planning meals & gym] will kick up the loss and I can make it under 150 by Christmas.” Having not done any figuring of course. Now that I figure it out there are 8 rounds before Christmas. So that is a possible goal for me but doesn’t allow for cheat days. Hmm, wonder if there were no cheat days where I would end up? So my goal for this round is – No cheat days where I snack in the evenings. No getting carried away with extra large portions at meals because I like that food or I’m stressed.Round 39 (1st for me) – SW 163, loss -.2Round 54 – SW 158.4, goal EW – under 158

Round 47 – SW 162.4, loss -2.2
Round 48 – SW 160.2, missed most of this round and Round 49 as I was away without computer or scale.

Round 51 – SW 160.8, loss -1
Round 52 – on holidays, no scale
Round 53 – SW 159.8, loss -1.4
Ultimate Goal Weight – 128; Hoping to be under 140 by end of June. This is less than 1 lb. per round but as I realize that may not be possible as I get lower (close to 27 rounds till then so 1 lb per round would put me at 131).

9/25, Tuesday – 158.4
So great to see this number. I know as I get to the lower 150’s, I have way less foot, ankle, knee issues and can walk a lot further. So looking forward to that.

MFP Round 54
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.
9/28 174.4 (when I woke up), 174.2 (after my walk) I spent too much time looking at low carb recipes and missed lunch, but it was worth it. I think I’m going to like the new recipes. Now, I don’t want to spoil my appetite for fish tacos this evening.
9/29 173.2 (when I woke up), 172.8 (after my walk). I’ll work harder today to eat all my calories. A church is feeding our singing group this evening, so that will probably help. I’ve decided to follow keto guidelines, so I have to balance carbs and fiber, which is harder than I expected. I’m getting full on fats and proteins, but still falling short on calories and fiber, because I don’t want to exceed my carb limit. I’m determined to learn.
9/30 172.8 I may have had a few extra carbs last night, but I did well with my choices. It was probably the first church dinner when I didn’t have desert, but had extra salad instead. Today is a church lunch at my church. I made a low carb Twice Baked Cauliflower Casserole. I think it will be good. Singing at another church this evening, so no time for a walk today.
10/1 172.2 My first week weight-loss honeymoon is drawing to a close, but it’s been fun! Now, the real work begins. I’ll have to be prepared to persevere when the scale doesn’t move like I want it to move. Thor (my German Shepherd) and I increased our walk to 3 miles this morning. We’ll continue to increase until one of us decides we’ve reached our limit. Meanwhile, today is the day I resume strength training. It’s been a few years. Oh, and yesterday’s Cauliflower Casserole was very tasty.
10/2 172.8 Okay, the honeymoon is over! (sigh) I wonder if the .6 lb. was due to eating blackberries and pecans late last night to get in extra calories. I still haven’t figured out how to eat all my calories without adding extra carbs. I'm trying to follow keto guidelines and eat low carb. Eating 400 calories from extra meat or pork rinds, although the numbers would work, doesn’t seem like the healthiest alternative. I wouldn’t mind eating more vegetables, but they all have carbs. On the bright side, Thor and I are building endurance. We walked our 3 miles, on rolling hills, in less than 60 minutes today. I love my dog. I remembered I have a couple, directors of a children’s home in Zimbabwe, arriving at my home Thursday afternoon to spend the night. I’m putting off the start of my strength training until Friday so I can clean and declutter my house before they arrive.

9/30 - 180- weighed when I got home last night and was at 179, then I had 3 cups of tea and nothing else. I ate carefully and we walked instead of Ubering, but the food must have been salty. Tomorrow will look better on the scale.🤷♀️

I came home tired and stressed and opened a bottle of wine. I teach middle school. It's sad how it's rarely the kids who stress me out; it's most often adults whose agendas are adult issues - not kid issues.
9/29 146.6 I see my personal trainer today. Hopefully I can make it a habit again to relieve stress through exercise.
9/30 151.0 WHAAAAT?!?!?! I made poor eating choices yesterday, but I had a great workout. My shoulder injury (torn labrum) seems to have healed, so now I get to workout to build back mobility and strengthen. The rest of the day I was strapped to my computer to catch up on grading. : (

9/25- 188.9- was a little disappointed this didn't go down since yesterday but I'm really motivated to see the numbers go down tomorrow! Will make sure to plan and eat under calories today!
9/26- 190.1-
I had rice last night. And I tend to go up on the scale any time I have rice. Will try to avoid and this better go down tomorrow. Tonight I have everything planned. Definitely not going to go back to the 190s. Hell no.
9/27- 188.3- Thank god. Did really well yesterday. Even had a slice of pizza but still under calories. Going to try to eat healthier tonight and still be under my calories. So far so good. Really want to reach my goal for this challenge. Also I'm going to the gym today after my vacation so that's good. I'm excited. I'm seeing my friends tomorrow to watch a movie but we all said we want to eat healthy so hopefully that works out.
9/28- 188.2- Wanted this to go down more since I was under my calories yesterday but I'm happy it didn't go up or something. Going in the right direction. Mini victory: Yesterday my mom made rice with kofta and I love rice but I decided to make some broccoli (which I also love) so I filled my plate with mostly broccoli and just a couple spoons of rice as well as kofta. And I stopped eating once I felt full which happened fast since the broccoli is satiating for me. That definitely helped me not fluctuate up this morning. Also I worked out yesterday. Strength training and cardio but I got tired faster than I did before vacation so have to build up to not being like that again. Crazy how quickly we can become unfit! Plans got cancelled today with friends so I'm planning on eating healthy today again! And want to be under calories so I see the scale budge more than it did today.
9/29- 187.7- woohoo! Haven't been this low in a while. Want to keep it going. Will stay under calories today even though it's the weekend! I'm determined. Also I'm still sore from working out. But will exercise today.
9/30- 186.8- yayy! Really happy about this. I've really been controlling myself. Yesterday, my mom and brother got something to eat when we went to Costco- I refused. Stayed under calorie goal yesterday. REALLY want to reach 185. It's my mini goal and I'm making good progress! I hope this doesn't stagger! Will try to be good today as well. So far so good. I've saved up some calories since I know I'm having a bigger dinner. Been snacking on blackberries and strawberries. Feeling pretty good. Will go to the gym tomorrow.
10/1- 186.8- definitely happy that this didn't go up because i was A LITTLE bit naughty yesterday but still under my calories. But my mom told me to get her and my brother a burger with fries and a drink since she hadn't eaten all day and she told me to get myself something too and I looked up the calories and everything was way too much to fit under my calorie goal so I just decided not to get anything at all! Not to toot my own horn, but I'm really proud about that. I would have never turned down opportunities to eat out before but I've really been trying hard to be good to myself instead of making a bad choice and making myself go through the whole self-loathing battle. Going to go to the gym today and planning to stay under calories! So far so good. Hopefully tomorrow we'll see a loss.
10/2- 188.0- guess what I ate yesterday. Rice. Surprise! Lol. High carbohydrate intake makes you retain water so obviously I didn't gain a pound of fat overnight but I still hate seeing the upwards fluctuation. My mom cooks at home a lot and rice is a staple in our cultural food so it's hard to avoid completely. I'm going to try to do really well today and tomorrow (no rice lol) so that maybe I get a chance of reaching my GW this time around? We'll see. Probably a stretch but that won't stop me from trying! Was a little over calories yesterday too. But I did go to the gym so that's good.

@denswrex I dropped 6 lbs when I stayed in Maui. The daily 4 mile round trip walks to the beach and the 7 mile round trip walks to the market combined with a diet high in fresh fish, veggies, and fruit, I came back home in great shape.
@puttyputty Fantastic news!!! Made me cry with relief for you.
Catching up with everyone this morning before work I've noticed several discouraged posts. Please be aware it isn't metabolically possible to gain or lose grossly measurable fat overnight. The ups and downs on the scale are representative of fluid gains and losses. These fluctuations are helpful visuals of our consumption habits. Increased salt and sugar (simple carbohydrates) intake leads to fluid retention just as decreased consumption leads to fluid release. Use these fluctuations as a learning tool to help you adjust your consumption for long term fat loss.
Prolonged decrease in overall calories (consumed minus used) results in body fat loss due to carbon exchange. Track your progress using the chart on the MFP app/website. If the trend is downward, you're on the right track. If not, go back to your log for the time period you don't see progress. Most likely you will see multiple days in which consumption was not in line with fat loss.
Very helpful reminder! Thank you!

9/28, 221, I'm really not sure how I'm losing weight. I average 1500 calories a day and almost always go over my calorie goal. I have switched to healthier calories though. Frozen grapes and dark chocolate are my main desserts. I'm using half the amount of dressing that I usually use on salads. I've been having salads for lunch. I also try to walk a mile while at work. I'm also saving money now that I'm eating out less. It doesn't seem like much so I'm surprised at the difference it's made. Losing weight is usually so much harder than this, it doesn't feel real at all. At this rate I might reach onederland by January!!! That would be so amazing, just gotta keep working at it.

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
Thank you @tiabirdie56 @quiltingjaine @fraukazi @allmannerofthings @abowersgirl @deepwoodslady & @cdavisdeva for your kind words!!! ♥
9/28 160.8 with brace, swelling. Confirm with Dr that I should be having some water retention so I’m more relaxed.
9/29 160.0 with brace, hand towel, swelling
Finally, upwards graph turned downwards...
Managing the pain. Surgery in 5 days!!
Grateful it wasn’t worse.
I hope you all make the most of this late fall weekend! 🍂🍃🍁🌿
9/30 161 w/ brace, towel, swelling
V. Discouraging, but tracking & walking...probably water? Off all pain meds.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- 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.

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.
9/28 - Still 182. 1 gallon of water. Ate slightly under 1,121 calories. 16 grams of carbs. Really frustrating that I can’t lose. Trying not to get too discouraged.
9/29 - Yay! Went down to 180.8 today!! Ate slightly under 1200 calories. About 1 gallon of water. 13 grams of carbs. Still only in moderate ketosis, but I honestly feel I am dong well about carb intake and being honest about what I’m eating, so hopefully my body will catch up soon.
9/30 - I’m so discouraged!!! Back up to 182.2. Ate 12 grams of carbs, under 1200 calories. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m gonna start exercising Monday to see if that will kickstart my immune system.
10/1 - Didn’t weight today. Drank a gallon of water. Ran a mile. 23 grams of carbs. 1300 calories.
10/2 - AAACCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!! I’m back up to 183!!! I can’t see what I’m doing wrong. Probably all that yo-yo dieting for years before this has slowed my metabolism. Still, that doesn’t explain the steady weight gain. One thing to not lose, but gaining…eh. Tried to do a really skimpy fast day (eating just dinner) today but still ate about 1,000 calories. Kept my carbs low, though. Checking my ketosis tomorrow to see if I am past moderate. Really hope I lose.
