    Thanks!

    Currently I weigh 81.3 KG. I was over 95 KG last year. Its roughly over a year since I started working out. In spite of working out like there's no tomorrow I dint notice any significant reduction rate.

    Its only after I joined MFP, I realized my mistakes. I binged too much off-radar.

    Now I am conscious of what I eat, when I eat and how much I eat. A leak well corked now.

    Yes indeed - MFP really opens our eyes on what we're really consuming and the effect it's having. I've not had much success until I really started using MFP. Good work - keep it going.

    Yes, Chett!

    I have my next weigh-in session this Sunday. If my calculations are correct, then I hope to lose approx. 0.6 KG. Depending upon the result, I need to decide on the next course of action for the remaining 3 weeks. I 'have' to 'earn' my new T-Shirt! ;)

    yaay!!! I have lost another 1 KG this week! Cumulatively I've lost approx. 15 KG. I am thinking of losing another 8-10 KG by end of this year or so. Let's see.

    Buddha was right! Taking the middle path makes sense! :P

    Folks - I'm adjusting my numbers because I'm using a different method to track my weight (trendweight.com) which tracks the overall trend rather than what the scale says on a particular day. I like this because of the natural fluctuations we all have each day and so the trend weight is a more accurate picture of what's going on over the longer term

    The figures below are therefore what my Trendweight weight has been and from when we started upto today and I have kept the same original weight goal.

    That's a good idea, Chet. I should try it too.

    I checked my weight yesterday and it should that I've gained 100 g since last week. I came back home and took a stock of my eating habits and exercise pattern. Everything seemed fine.

    My only guess is that I am building some muscles. (I am not sure if I am fooling myself!)

    I will post my weight again next Saturday.

    For the record:

    4/7 - 80.3 KG
    4/13 -80.4 KG

    No problem Greeshmaa.

    Advi - if your scales measure body fat% you can enter the data into trendweight.com and it will work out your lean mass, fat mass etc so it might help.

    Gareeshma - That's nice. Follow your plan. Good luck.

    Chet - that's very silly of me! I don't have the gadget to measure them all! I realized after I logged in there. Never mind. I will try old-school formula.

    Congrats everybody! You are losing wt.

    Well, Houston.... I've a problem!! ;)

    My scale says that I've gained 1 KG since last week!! From 80.4 it now stands at 81.3 KG. I do 3X HIIT per week (approx 40 mins each), log what I eat, maintain a healthy diet. I drink approx 4L of water per day.

    Possible Explanations:
    Water retention - I doubt that theory
    Muscle building - 1 KG in one week? I doubt that theory too.
    Keeping the same routine - No, I frequently change my workout style and exercise patterns.

    Where am I going wrong? or am I missing something here?

    Firstly thanks Greeshu - it's slow but the weight is coming off.

    Advi - without being able to see your diary it's difficult to say. Here are some possible explanations in addition to yours:

    1. The deficit between calorie burn and calorie intake is too much and your body is holding on to the fat.
    2. Your body weight fluctuates daily and therefore on your official weigh day it happened to be up
    3. Your carb intake may be higher than your body needs - are you using any Macronutrient ratio. I use 40%/30%/30% for carbs/protein/fat.
    4. Your Sodium intake is higher than it needs to be and your body is retaining water to flush this out. But since you're drinking 4L per day I doubt it's this.

    For #2 above this is why I switched to using my Trendweight rather than my Scale weight since it was always luck what my weight was on my official weigh day so the trendweight allows me to see how I am doing in general.

    Yes, Chet.

    May be I am having more carbs that what I need. I havent checked that part yet. Also, I havent set macronutriet ratio either. I may have to recalculate.

    I discussed this with other MFP pals. From that I understood that my deficit was more than 500 per day. (So, my body may think that its in starvation mode.) Next step would be to increase my cal intake, reduce sodium intake, reduce carb portion - and see how that combo works.

    Try not to make too many changes in one go, else you'll confuse yourself!
