    Make sure you are weighing yourself at the same time everyday, and it doesn't hurt to check your scale. The last time I tried a weight loss program I had the same problem, going up and down 2 or more pounds in a day and it really was my scale! I got a new one and it is much more accurate.

    I've experienced that too. My doctor suggested I increase my water intake and it worked. Hope that helps. Good luck on your journey. Don't give up. You can do this!!

    So I lost right pounds but now went from 249 back to 252 over night. What does this mean? I am starting to feel like I should give up. What do you think or what should I do? I did go over yesterday but I didn't think.it would be that big of a difference.

    I am going to go for 2 pounds a week and i pray i stay as strong about it as i am right now i can feel that educating my self about proper eating and calories and exercise from reading on mfp it is going to work and i am going to reach my goals and i feel if you can keep reading and think about it a lot of the time it stays with you and makes you strong to do this think about what you want and just do it god bless and the best of luck.

    I am in. I have tried to do this while having a private profile and a 15 more pounds later I have realized that I really cannot do this without a support network.

    Thanks for posting this :)
    I would gladly be your friend.

    I want in please. I weigh 180 and am trying to lose weight by trimming sugars and carbs. I am super lazy about recording food :( but I am committed to daily exercise in some form for every day of 2013!

    Healthy. It is a complete sentence! One pound a week is doable. I plan on weighing myself every Sunday morning and posting my weekly progress then. Best of courage and self-discipline to all :)

    I have a question...is this thread for checking in for our weight only and do we have to join the" group" to chat?

    Because we are limited by how many posts are allowed on this thread, we did start a group and I plan to keep track of our losses within the group..... Would you please join the group and post your losses there? :flowerforyou:
