    12.28.2011: 183.2 lbs.

    01.10.2012: 181.4 lbs.
    01.16.2012: 177.2 lbs.

    Major loss this week - 4.2 lbs.!!! That boosts my average loss per week to 1.9 lbs.! After a couple of "lower" loss weeks, it was nice to see the extra couple of pounds. I am working at keeping my deficit relatively high this week so I don't have a low week next week!

    3.2 lbs in 5 days is fantastic!!! You generally shouldn't expect more than about a 2.0 lbs. loss per week (any more is probably water or muscle anyway), so that is great!!! Be proud rather than begrudging your fluctuation from the weekend. :)

    I have been doing MFP since Jan 1, but I have learned about the Olivia Method in teh past couple of days and have a different prespective to exercise and eating now. My BMR is pretty high, but I hardly ever get to that number. I am hoping with your support I will make it down in no time. I love exercise, but I usually tend to dive in head first so I am taking a day off from working out today. I plan to workout M/T/R/F/Sa/Su, but min of 4 days and min of 30 min each burining about 500 cals each time. YAY team!

    I saw 151 over the weekend, but have had a couple of low green days, ate pizza twice, and am back at 155 which is +2 from Monday. So I'm sure it's water, but it's very annoying water. I have to figure out how to eat on the weekends so I don't keep dealing with the water. How can water be so good and yet so evil????

    I am glad to see you here! Yes, your body definitely needs a rest day to recover. :)

    I am pretty sure that pizza has a lot of sodium in it, so it most likely is water retention. Just drink lots of water and stick to your caloric goals, and the water weight will fall off. When it does, you will see your fat loss on the scale again assuming you do have a deficit from last week. :)

    Just wanted to share. This past Saturday I was 174.2 but that night i did not eat well and then Monday I didn't log after breakfast and by Tuesday I was up to 179.8. BUT sticking to my plan with food, water and workouts got me back to 174.4 this am. I'm just proving to myself and others that 1 and/or 2 "bad" choices will NOT ruin my progress. I will be the same or a smidge lower for my weigh ins Friday and Monday and I will keep going down working towards my goal because this is my life, "slips" and all.

    water weight is a constant issue for me but i am not going to let it slow me down...

    I'm glad I saw this! I changed my official weigh-in day to Friday, instead of Monday because of this! I was noticing over the past month, that by Weds, I was back or below where I was the week before - Mondays were always a few pounds heavier.
  • I'm sorry, I didn't see this until now. Down a little bit from last week, which is fine by me. I'm a really slow loser, even if I do everything 'right', so I'm always thrilled to see a loss at all. I like this method -- it makes me feel less stressed out about, well, everything.

    Update for me...I am doing the happy dance this morning...I guess it works! last week I was very discouraged and unhappy because I saw the number show higher on the scale then the week before. I have been following the Olivia Method only since last Wednesday and I lost! :) I think I am actually eating better and working out! Loving life...now I just need support to keep going and not give up, NO MATTER WHAT!

    Here are my totals:

    1/18/12: 254.8
    1/23/12: 252.9 (-1.9)

    HELLO EVERYONE! I'm new to this group and am really excited to, hopefully, start losing at a better rate.
    I've been on MFP since Sept/11 and have only lost about 15 lbs. I do workout, but I would bet if there was an award for "slowest weight loss" I would win it!

    I am starting the Olivia Method today. Here are my stats:
    Height: 5'8"
    CW: 168.5
    GW: 140
    I run 2.25 miles 5x week and add spinning, sculpting, kettlebells and hiking during the week. I can be very disciplined with eating when I want to, but after not seeing much improvement, I've grown discouraged. I really think my body is resisting the traditional MFP method.

    Here's to hoping for success!
