    Yes indeed. Weight alone is not the ultimate measurement - I actually prefer to track BF% to get a more accurate picture of what is going on. Its harder to predict and set a goal so I will continue to track my trend weight.

    Those are great NSVs Advi.

    Ok I am putting it out there so that I am accountable...

    By 15th june I have to lose at least 4 kgs

    I am 86.1 kgs now so 15th june I should be at least 82 kgs

    Every week I will enter my wt here on the day everyone does their weigh-in here.

    So people lets do it together whatever your method is...if you do not want to use the scale then use a tape but set a short term target.

    So these are the weigh-in dates by ChetThaker which I will follow


    5/04: ----

    5/11: 87 kgs

    5/18:

    5/25:

    That's nice Chet.

    Well.. for me - Scale didn't budge much but now I fit comfortably in my new pair of pants. (Good NSV for this month!)

    Another NSV for this week - I need another hole in my belt! ;)

    Nice - that's usually a better indication of your body changing even if the scales are not moving as much.

    Where are everyone else's updates - I can't be the only one still doing this? ;-)

    Just joined MFP yesterday. I like this concept of weigh ins. I have started watching my weight and doing light exercises in the gym since 10th of this month. Planning to lose atleast 2kgs in a month. Let us hope that I have some positive results by 10th of June.
    :-)

    Great initiative Aditi

    Yup. For me, I have stopped watching the scale temporarily. I want to focus on inches instead. So, I may not be entering the values as Chet does.

    you are free to choose ur path. :)

    Hi everyone! i am from kolkata. This is a good idea-nice to see people from India. I have split my goals into three parts:

    WEIGHT GOAL: By the end of the month, i would like to lose 3-4lbs to hit 9stone, ie 126lbs. I currently weigh 130lbs.
    FOOD GOAL: Stick to the paleo way of eating, 90% of the time with occasional non-paleo food such as soy milk or regular milk.
    WORKOUT GOAL: 4 sessions of lifting a week (legs, upper body, abs, legs) with 3-4 cardio sessions a week (not on leg days).

    Welcome Kali. Sounds like a great plan you have there.

    Arvichan: Any plan on what you're going to do to get out of the plateau?

    Chet, I have been reading a lot of articles about breaking the plateau. Turns out it is part of the weight loss process. Keeping my motivation inspite of not seeing results is the biggest challenge.

    Focusing on weights (with dumbbells at home. No gym), very slow but sure progress.And HIIT as well.

    Not easy :(
