If you want to post your weights or any other numbers this is the place to do it. If you would like help with any weight loss related math this is good place to ask as well.

Today is my numbers day. I weigh daily but I only crunch my numbers once a week.
This week I have lost .02
By deficit I should have lost : 2.33
Meaning I am masking : 2.13 for this week
Total currently being masked : 3.42
My 3 week rate of loss : 1.4
My 6 week rate of loss : 1.7
It is never fun to know that I should have weighed 3.4 pounds less but is pretty common for me. What is slightly uncommon is that I really do not believe this is food related. I think this is water retention brought on by the stress of needing to lose weight for a surgery I really need. If that is the case I may not see the low weight next week that I would normally see. Time will tell.4 -
I fluctuate to much day to day. Today was my recent low 412.8, last Friday was 415..., but last Saturday was 417...
I am trending down I believe and that's what is important.8 -

You seem to really have the right attitude for this to work. If you stop logging again I am going to hunt you down and glue the app to your hand. Please consider logging your cruise. It doesn't matter if you are not trying to lose weight during that time or that most of it will be guesses it just matters you don't break the habit and you stay in the mindset.

I've been lucky so far. I started at 318.9, basically 319 lbs. As of last Sunday. As of this morning, I weigh 310. So, 9 lbs in 2 weeks. I know that will slow down, and I am doing measurements as well.6

Good going. It will slow down because some of that will have been water weight but it is still a great start.
Here is a fun fact... it is said that for every pound you lose you remove 4 pounds of pressure from your knees so you have taken 36 pounds of pressure off already. It will make life slightly easier.9 -
My knees can use all the relief they can get

Mine too.
My right one will almost assuredly need replacing. It is painful but I am trying to hold out for less weight to make recovery easier. I also kind of hope that I will lose enough to postpone it for a number of years since they say they are temporary and if you have it done too young you will have to do it again.1 -
Hi, not sure what kind of numbers to post really. So Ill just start throwing some out.
I'm 25, female, 5 foot (almost 5'1), I weigh 259 currently. Being so short, they say I should be about 110-130 lbs. yea right
My ultimate goal is to be around 150. My current goal is to get under 200. I'm only on day 2 of tracking. Day one didn't go so well. my only accomplishment was that I actually tracked all the crap I ate last night instead of ignoring it. Today is okay....I ate good stuff, but somehow I only have 150 calories for the rest of the day, and its only 1pm...4 -

This is for whatever numbers you feel like sharing. I don't want anyone to feel forced to share anything they would rather not so I called it a numbers thread instead of a "weigh in" thread but people can use it that way if they want.
About your 150 left... well that is going to happen in the early days. You may need to eat over your calorie goal today and try to do a little better tomorrow. You do not want to be miserable and hungry.
Remember not to allow perfection to get in the way of good enough. You can lose some weight eating above your goal it just won't be the exact number you might want to lose. Be kind to yourself and don't push yourself too hard. Allow yourself time to adjust.6 -
Heya, just found this group, so instead of jumping into this week's numbers or something like that, I figured I could just describe my progress so far.
I'm 39, 5'8, and started trying to lose weight on 1/1/2019 at 386.6 lbs. I've lost about 68 lbs so far, and I've got another 120 or so to go before I'm done.
1/1: 386.6
2/1: 368.8
3/1: 360.6
4/1: 348.9
5/1: 341.0
6/1: 332.6
7/1: 322.9
7/19: 318.48 -

Your average rate of loss has been 2.39 pounds per week. That is excellent. It is slightly aggressive without going at a punishing pace.2 -
Thanks! I'm trying to make sure the changes I'm making are sustainable. I lost 100 lbs 10 years ago, but wound up gaining it back and then some. I don't want that to happen again.3

In the other thread you mentioned eating 1800 calories per day. At your 1.99 rate of loss since June 1 that would put your TDEE/maintenance right around 2800 calories (average) per day currently.
Sorry. I like weight loss math.
That all seems quite sustainable and especially so considering you have done it for 7 months.

No need to apologize! I'm all about collecting data and use it to help keep myself motivated. 2

Great Job, INSPIRATIONAL, hopefully I can do what you have been able to do2 -

Thanks! If I can do it, you can. Just take it a day at a time, and don't let things discourage you. If you hit a bump, don't let it knock you off track... just keep going. Any downward trend over time is great.

Thank you guys for the encouragement, every little bit helps.2

I am going out tomorrow and buying one of those sewing tape measure thingys to start measuring myself. I believe that size matters more than the scale, I need to practice that a little better. Like counting calories or logging food, you dont know until you measure it.2
-
Update, I bought a tape measure and it was to small for my biggest around the belly measurement. Talk about feeling *kitten* lol, I stayed strong and in my diet. Got to measure a few other body parts to get a "baseline". Also, I matched my recent low weight today, hopefully tomorrow will bring a new recent record low.3
