    02/08 - 164.2! So happy to see a loss this AM. I've felt my weight loss has been a little stagnant the past couple weeks. I keep reminding myself that it's slow to come off.... I just need to stick with the plan. CICO. That should be my mantra, CICO. Happy Friday everyone!

    @ghy5 It's Calories In, Calories Out - just shorthand for the basic way you lose weight, having more out than in. :smile:

    Don't think anybody else already replied, sorry if I'm doubling up! There's a useful thread on all the terms in the getting started forum too, worth a peruse!

    02/08 169.8 - Feeling so defeated and frustrated. Up a pound??? wtf??? I feel like i did everything right yesterday except I didn’t follow my diet by the book. I went off the rails with a pad thai lunch instead of shake or bar. But i went to the gym in the morning so thought i had wiggle room there.

    You probably are retaining a bit more water because of the pad thai and the gym exercise. When we first change our eating habits, many of us lose a lot of water weight (which isn't fat) and many of us will gain that water weight right back if we deviate from our plans. But that doesn't mean we aren't losing fat. Water is not fat!

    Weight loss is not linear, and a lot of that has to do with water. Some days we have more of it in our systems, and some days we have less of it. Demanding a loss day after day will make you very frustrated. Instead, you should be looking at your trends. Try averaging a week or 10 days and see which direction you are heading.

    You can do this! Remember, the scale gives you data. It's your tool, not your enemy!

    When back to look for this. Thank you!
