    Yes, stay on top of it. You have come too far and worked so hard. It is most definitely a lifestyle change and some experimenting.
    You are working out and tracking and posting, these are positive life choices.
    Some people stay at 1200 calories forever (Princess Kate, 5'11"). Of course that doesn't mean that we all need to, because we are all different.
    Definitely you want to nip it in the bud quickly.
    Sorry that you feel defeated today. It is so not easy! You've got this girl.

    Thank you! I’m really trying not to completely go off rails here. I tend to allow myself to get into a downward spiral when things go bad. I start to binge and make things worse so I am getting a hold of myself before this happens. I’ve made my adjustments for the new week and hopeful I can gay back to my starting weight by the end of the week. I’ve gotten so much amazing advice and support from my amazing MFP family. Thank you!

    Hello all! Happy Summer!!

    Just going to do a quick check-in....I'm not going to weigh-in today because it's the end of my TOM and I just feel like my weigh-in won't be as accurate. So, I'm going to wait until next week to step on the scale, that would give me plenty of time to feel like my self again without the added bloat/water-weight.

    See ya then!

    6/15: 183.6
    Next weigh-in: 6/27th

    @mari_moulin Deep breath! Be strong! A lot of people experience an upward fluctuation when they change their calories/WOE. Then the numbers settle again. Looks like you've got a good plan. Just hold in there! And don't be afraid to reach out to your MFP buddies for support! You are amazing and you have achieved amazing things!!

    Thank you so much. Let’s hope my plan works or at least gets be to where I was at the beginning of the month. I’m so blessed to have such a great support group here on MFP!

    Horrible weekend :( I'm trying not to beat myself up over it but it's very discouraging. I just have to keep going forward and step it up this week.


    Original starting weight -240
    June starting weight -240
    June goal - 235/232
    Ultimate goal -160

    (I'm weighing myself on Mondays and Fridays because weekends...UGH!)

    3rd - 240
    7th - 240
    10th - 238.4
    14th - 235.6
    17th - 235.9
    21st - 234.7
    24th - 237.8
    28th -
    30th -

    To those that are doing the daily weigh in - does that keep you more accountable?

    Hi Bibi - yes, for me daily weighing does keep me more accountable.

    @lalabank Love your long term planning and congrats on the amazing weightloss. However....I'm hoping that your end goal is 130 pounds, not 30 pounds. 😉I don't know your height, but I'm thinking 30 pounds is too low!! 😁

    Fluctuations are normal. Don't beat yourself up. I come into the group twice a week. I tend to get compulsive with message boards, so I limit my exposure. That's a balance that keeps me engaged and accountable. I log my weight, food, and exercise daily in MFP. That lets me watch trends and keeps me accountable to me.
