Week 1
Weigh in : Saturday
SW 180.3
This isn’t your week 1 weigh in, that’ll be next week. This is your feb week 4 which will also be your starting weight for the March challenge.
Hi Amy, still a bit confused with Dates. So Week-1 is till 7/3 or 13/3 ? My start-up weight I believe was the last weight of Feb taken on 29/2.
Week 1 is March 1-7, you’re listed as having a weigh-in day of Saturday so that means your week 1 weigh in would be on Saturday March 7, week 2 for you would be March 14 etc. Our weeks start on Sunday so you’ll always be weighing in at the end of the week. Hope that helps!2 -

It's been four of five months since I started to examine my relationship with food. I quit eating office treats 12/21.
I discovered the Half Size Me podcast and began to focus on just eating mindfully enough to track every day and I think I have almost tracked every day for about a month even on my birthday dinner and a few days where I wasn't really sure exactly what I ate. I used to not track for two reasons (1) I had no idea what I was eating/had eaten (2) I could not handle seeing a number above 2000 calories apparently.
A big shift came when I went to visit my family for the weekend in mid-February. The trip involves about 14 hours in the car and it's usually my time to eat whatever I want. I did indulge as usual but tracked two out of three days. It was hard to see those 3000 calorie days but guess what? They would have shown up on the scale when I got back whether I had tracked or not.
I think I'm finally ready to focus on hitting my maintenance or target calories every day. I'm focusing on Half Size Me's mandate of incorporating 20-30 grams of protein and 5-6 grams fiber in every meal; I hardly ever noticed macros before so that prompted me to upgrade to premium!
Other goals this month:
* pre track every day
* pre track a treat every day, late in the day so I have something to look forward to
* post to MFP every day
* strength-train 2x/week
* every meal & snack: Butt on Chair, Food on Plate. No grazing, no BLTs (bites, licks, and tastes)!
Thanks for reading if you still are
I'll try to stick with weigh ins and daily posts better; thanks for your leadership @AmyG1982 !
Sounds like you’ve got a great plan! Good for you for finding what works for you and continuing to make changes if it’s not instead of getting discouraged and giving up!1 -
@midsummer174627
I love your goals - really on par to mine. I listen to podcasts all the time and added Half Size Me to my list to listen to. I do love the half hour podcasts - not too long and not too short. I'll check out their website too. I'm trying to get in 20-30 gm of protein each time too. I make some killer smoothies. Just basically high protein, very low carbs is my goal.
Good job!1 -

Almost. I ate a sample when I eas was getting my coffee without thinking about it, and then I ate a Kind bar on my way out the door but I did have a moment where I popped something in my mouth without thinking and literally took it out of mouth and put it on a plate so I could eat it mindfully.1 -
@AmyG1982
Last week I got back from vacay super late and wasn't able to post on Saturday. I did weigh myself, but It didn't count toward last weeks weigh in as I missed posting. Should I use that weight for this week, or my last weigh in for the week before? I gained last week as I was on vacation and wasn't super restrictive, and I know I'll have a loss this week. I don't want it not to be fair. Please advise. I've never missed a week before
Thanks!0 -
Happy March!
I am starting a super restrictive diet next week and I need some encouragement. My naturopath recommended Autoimmune protocol. Has anyone done this or is anyone currently doing this now? Looks like all the Paleo/AIP groups on MFP are way outdated and haven't been active in several years. I'd love an accountability person.
I've not been posting foods because I've struggled with the previous dietary changes my Naturopath gave me. It was really hard to have no hard guidelines. I do better on more restrictive diets than less restrictive diets because the more restrictive ones leave me feeling better with results I can see immediately, versus the least restrictive means typically take some time, and sneaking in something that doesn't quite fit doesn't seem to make me feel as bad.
I did well on Keto for almost 2 years, but I don't have a gall bladder so I need something where I don't have to worry about ratios quite as much as just eating nice clean foods. I'm excited about that part of AIP. I'm not excited that I can't have eggs, seeds, nuts, or peppers of any kind.
My goal this month is to be more consistent with daily posting and weekly pictures with my weights. And to be CONSISTENT with AIP once I learn more about it.

Your previous weight (107) was carried over to be your starting weight for this month so you can use that for this week’s previous weight 1 -

I was on vacay last week so I knew I'd be a little set back.2 -
Username: Minion_training_program
Week: Thursday, march week 1 (05-03-2020)
Previous weight: 98,0 kg / 216,05 lbs
Current weight: 98,5 kg / 217,16 lbs
Track: Yes
Calories: 2000 a day without exercise and eating back between 50-80% of my exercise
Under or over calories on weekly basis: A little gain, but this was expected because of my bowel problems again, but at least i didn't gain like 2 kg this time, which normally happens, so seems to be a little bit more under control now, pretty positive that i will be below 98 again if the bowel is emptied again

Week 1 Weigh in (Friday March 6, 2020)
PW: 161.6
CW: 161.0
Overall the week was good and as a MFP newbie I've already learned a lot about my habits. I was under calories 6/7 days but over in fat 5/7 days. Excercised 4/7 days, though my goal is 5. I'm pretty good on days I work but on my days off I go off the rail if I can get that together I'll be better next week. But trying to stay positive when the results aren't what you want is a challenge in itself.5 -
Thursdays are typically hard for me and yesterday was no exception
2400 BUT I feel like it was honest tracking and I didn't try to skip dinner or even my treat after I had a hard afternoon. I'm having some PMS and so I'm hoping that I'll really hit a deficit every day next week finally. I'm so ready for it!
Trying to drink lots of water and stay away from salt today so tomorrow's weigh in is super "accurate" (PMS notwithstanding).6 -
Really struggling with staying on track this week. I know I can do it. I was very dedicated to this challenge before I became pregnant for my daughter. Lost 80s over a few months. I'm back, and need to find a routine that works for me... and motivation. I love my kids, but miss being under 200 lbs. I was 10 lbs away from my goal of 160 lbs.3

Don’t forget to weigh in this week! Even if you don’t like the # on the scale, logging it here can be great motivation!
The following people have already missed their weekly weigh in, please do so before end of day Saturday to get counted this week!
@dougb756
@LeviG2018
@Nrcallan
@Mickeyspaz312020
@germaine_yee
@kyoung1908
Hopefully all our Saturday folks will show up, I’ll try and remind mid-day tomorrow.1 -

Tracked: yes
Calories: way over
Exercise: no
So partner wanted pizza tonight. I went over calories today by 1400 yes 1400 over. That negates 3 days of deficit this week. That’s okay because life happens and this indulgence is no longer a regular occurrence for me. Worst case scenario is no loss Sunday. I refuse to beat myself up.4
