Most everyone is doing well and keep it going- awesome!
Those like myself who are stuck or going backwards my tip is to measure all your foods. I’ve been logging for 21 months. We get comfy with our food prep. At the end of my day I was surprised to see the calories added and my macros being off.

Let’s keep eating well and moving…...

Total weight lost: 2.5 pounds :-) Once I'm at 128.5, it will be the lowest weight I've been at in the last ten years!!! I'm so EXCITED!!!

Yay! Finally on my way! My body has been resisting, but I upped my protein and fat intake, so that I can eat a little less now due to being less hungry all the time... Also, I've stopped running due to a pulled hamstring... But I'm still walking around and stretching, and doing lots of cleaning (sigh, no escape from that one...). Overall, I'm happy!

cpanus - don't freak out!!! lol, it is going to be OK in the end. I freaked out so badly when I only "lost" half a pound at my last check-in (I probably just went to the bathroom, and the weight loss was fake, but hey, it made me happy to lose even that amount!). I had been trying soooo hard, exercising and everything, but for some reason my body just said nope, i'm happy at this weight! but now things are starting to move along, so keep your eye on the prize! Patience, patience, patience... (I know, its sooo hard to be patient about this!!!)

04hoopsgal73 - Agreed! I've been eating a little too much of everything in the last week, and I think that's what slowed me down... Then I started measuring out what 1/4 cup *really* looks like... Ooops! :-) We can do this!!!

DJ478 - Great job on the loss!! Keep it up, girl, you're so close to your goal!

misslou7 - Looking good! That happens to me a lot, I will eat like a saint for like three days, then weigh myself, see that I'm on track for the next weigh-in, then totally bomb the numbers on the morning of the weigh-in! I swear, I have no idea why that happens!!

shoing - Way to go trying to be more active! Sometimes I feel like I just want to crash on the couch for hours, but my conscience won't shut up about how I need to be fit and have good posture haha! :laugh: I've also noticed that since I became more active (walking more, expending more energy on cleaning, etc), I have more physical endurance. Tasks that made me feel worn out in the past aren't as hard anymore! Whaddaya know!!

I've ben looking around, and seeing some folks doing well, and other folks struggling! But no matter where you are, I see that we're all doing our best and supporting each other throughout the process! As long as MFP has its community to watch each other's backs, we can do it, together!!!


Good luck, everyone! Make the next two weeks COUNT! And GOOD JOB to ALL!

Down 1.2 since start and 2.2 since last week. ;-) Sorry for the delay in weigh in. It has been a crazy week.

@rrloos - 2.2 in a week is a great loss! I weigh every day and see constant fluctuations and have to keep in mind the small factors that effect my daily weight. You are doing an awesome job! Keep it up!

Everyone's doing great!!! Keep it up!

Just for fun: What major exercise goal do you have for 2014 and how will it impact your weight? My goal is to simply stick to excercising continually. In combination with healthy eating it should finally help me loose the last 10-12 kilos.

Slow week - but I totally own my bad behavior! I got all my exercise in, which is more important. I'll get to my goal I'm highly optimistic.

I also know that Sheri3851 and MsSoFly with reach their goals, because they are both awesome! Keep up the good work

Good job to everyone that has lost weight and to those that gained or stay the same. Keep pushing we still got almost 2 weeks left in the month.
