Congratulations Dante_80! That is amazing progress. We use kg here in Spain too, it's always interesting to be switching back and forth between the two. The nice thing is that ONEderland corresponds approximately to being at 90 kg, which is kind of a nice, round figure. I like that you post the "weight remaining for:..." part, I'll steal that and add it to my Excel!

Way to go! I’m proud of you!!

Thanks for the kind words. I know I'm not very talkative in this group so far, but I want you to know that I really draw strength and inspiration from all of you. Let's do this!

28 lbs down. Feeling very proud!

Changed my goal weight to be in line with the guideline for my height.

I was so happy to see I’ve lost 31 lbs since August 24 but now my calorie allotment is 1290 per day.

I’ve been eating at about 1200 per day for the past few weeks anyway but now that it is written there on MFP I feel something rebellious and childish bubbling to the surface and I’m resenting that low of daily cals. I’m going to have to work through my emotions on this.

Are you at 1.5 a week loss or 2 lbs?....I change mine back and forth...you could eat back some exercise calories, too....I eat about 25% of my exercise calories back...I tried not eating any of the extra ones but I was getting hungry and not feeling satisfied....if I burn 400 calories according to MFP I eat back at least 100 calories...I will have an apple or string cheese or an extra ounce of meat...so if your calories for the day are 1290, an extra 100 calories earned from exercise would help you out!

Ooops hit to fast! I’m set at 2 per week and I don’t exercise yet but soon lol

Eating less is to lose weight, exercising is to gain strength!........BUT I admit I exercise for food!

My Starting Weight:
~375 lbs (01/01/2017)
My goal:
180 lbs
Milestone:

Current Weight:

Loss this Week:
+6 lbs
Total Loss:
-146.1 lbs

What's Working/What Needs Work:
I"m not sure this is accurate at all. The scale's reading changes a lot depending on where I put it on the floor, so I think I"m going to have to break down and buy a new one. Mine has a lithium battery in it and its at least 4 years old.

I'm not crossing back over 230 lbs, though. While I'm set to actually be losing 1 lb/wk, I'm over eating that amount daily; I'm not getting the activity in any more thanks to winter hours and it shows. I don't know how much if any that I've actually regained though because of water weight fluctuations and the scale.

But I had said I was going to try to maintain from October to December, so as long as the scale stays below 230 lbs, I can live with it. Hopefully I can get back to it in January to push for at least another 30 lbs off.

Meanwhile, the scale has become dramatically less important to me in the recent 3 weeks since I last posted a weight recording. In that time frame, I've picked up a beau, so you can imagine that my interests and attentions are all completely focused elsewhere at the moment

He too is working on losing a massive amount of weight and is much nearer the beginning of his efforts than I am, but it helps a lot because we are encouraging each other. He does Keto because it works best for him, I do calorie counting because it works best for me, but I am starting to experiment with keto recipes just to see if I can make them work to satisfy me. In hopes, anyway

At the very least, my depressed mood of the last several months has been greatly elevated! Now if I can just do something about my job, which is becoming more miserable by the day

Some progress this week. Added my goal for New Years, hope I can come close!

Now to keep it off thru the holidays!

Way to go Connie !!!

Current Weight:

Loss this Week:

What's Working/What Needs Work:

I'm not sure what is going on with my scales. I get a totally different reading depending on where on my floor I put the darn thing - both new and old! At one point, I got as high a reading as 226.7 lbs, but then I started to consistently get lower readings down as low as 221 lbs. On both. I've finally decided to settle for the first reading of 224.2 as my record weight for today which is still much better than last weeks and keeps me well within that 10 lb range I'm allowing for myself for the holiday period.

I got a warning from MFP though with this weigh in - claimed I was losing too fast and needed to evaluate my goals. Nope, its not my goals; its water weight and scale issues!

I've finally made my peace with maintaining between 220 and 230 lbs, and that has helped some of my stress. I can hopefully get re-started in January and make a concerted effort to be in Onderland by summer, I hope.

Work is still a major stress, however, and I have a check in with the supervisor next week I'm not looking forward to at all

Meanwhile, I've made travel plans for February to Wisconsin, depending on weather and whether or not the relationship is still progressing by then. I had to make reservations now, though, to get the price. Tickets are refundable if it all falls through, at least :g

But it will have 3 months by then; I figure that's far enough along to take the plunge and actually go up to meet in person, right? Though we have technically met in person before, at that conference 2 years ago.

I'm not sure what is going on with my scales. I get a totally different reading depending on where on my floor I put the darn thing - both new and old!

All the floors in my house are poorly layed hardwood - no two peices are even, and they keep shifting - my scale was going bonkers. I've put a 3/4 inch square of plywood under the scale - and it seemed to make a big difference. It is consistent now (though it still doesn't seem to drop fast enough :-) )

Congratulations and taking the leap!!!! I'm so enjoying your side-story of romance. !!!!

@lauriekallis
the plywood idea is a good one - I'll see if that works! Thank you!

Alternatively, you can choose one specific place (as sturdy as possible) to put your scale on, and always weigh yourself there, without ever having to move it around.

I can't leave my scale out - the floor isn't big enough square footage, and I've found I can't quite get it exact - though that would beg questions from guests if they see a magic marker square outlined in front of the sink lol

Isn’t there a scale in a local grocers?....you could get weighed on it once or twice a week....I go to the grocery store 4 or 5 days a week lol

@conniewilkins56

No, no scale there. Besides, I don't want to have to figure out what to subtract for clothing lol

I'm not doing all that great in sticking to it lately, too many temptations of hte evening inspiring my creative side when it comes to snacking. But it seems to be coming out in the wash, at least - I must be getting more activity in than I thought.

Wouldn't it will be a little more exciting if you just disrobe there?

(you would probably get a bit of exercise too!)
