I think I may have stayed the same.

I have lost. So it's all good this week. :happy:

I'm 95.4% the man I was at the beginning of the month (by mass). Life's good.

Sallie,

Unfortunately there's no secret. I'll say up front that I plan and measure my calorie ins and outs such that I should be losing 2 pounds a week: not 4. My success to this point is due to eating to a calorie target and exercising almost every day.

But:

I hear all the time from older folks (men and women) who say it's easier for younger people to lose weight.
I hear all the time from women (of all ages) who say it's easier for men to lose weight.
And I believe them.

Despite the trend, I believe that my legitimate weight loss IS 2 pounds a week, and the rest is water weight that will not last.

Iv not had a good couple of weeks last week I put on half a pound and this week I don't feel is much better, im hoping that I can change this so its not to much weight gain but I really feel its going to be a gain again.

Hiya hun.... when I feel like this, I have a word with myself and make good effort to not fall in to bad habits again. it's so easy to fall in to bad habits, this journey is a big struggle for most of us and I found quitting smoking easier than this lol but we have to keep strong and battle it on. You've done so well. keep your chin up :flowerforyou:

I have one thing to add:

This option isn't as commonly thought of as it used to be: but if you have a supreme being of choice (as a Christian I call mine "God"), you might ask for His help whenever you're struggling. If you ask His help and you're serious about it, He has a way of helping you get your priorities in order.

Know what? Even if you don't subscribe to that belief in a surpreme being, pray anyway. Just do the best you can; I'm sure you've seen people do it.
You can be certain that prayer produces hope, which leads to miracles; and miracles are EITHER divine intervention, or the world's strongest placebo effect.

Thank you everyone I had another gain this week 1.5lb so that's a 2lb gain in 2 weeks but after reading your msg iv given myself a kick up the butt and had a little pray as well I really want to do this and struggle everyday with trying to change my way of thinking im very much an emotional eater, If im sad, Happy, Angry so im trying really hard to change that.

As off today im back on it and I know im going to be up and down a lot this road wont be a straight one but a very wibberly wobberly one that I will need support on.

I started the month with a cold, made some improvements when I felt better, and and then just fell off the wagon. In fact the horses started dragging me behind the wagon. Spring sunshine and weather above 40 needs to get here soon. I dislike winter with a vengeance!

I had a better month than I would hope for after a gain in the first week, everyone has done a fantastic job. For what is worth I also like the friday weigh in, most groups have their weigh in on Monday its nice to have one that isnt. Thanks again for the group :flowerforyou:

Yay! I met my monthly goal. I wasn't sure I would since I was a little bit up last week. I kept pushing on and it paid off. I love the accountability of the Friday weigh in for this group. I record my weight on MFP on Mondays so the two times a week keeps me honest!

I really like this idea.
Well done you!!!

I wish I could be as honest as some... I think I'll start weighing in x2 each week...Mon & Fri

I lost .9 lbs this week. I have been slacking on my diet and my exercise this week so I need to step up both of them. And hopefully I will start seeing better results.

The March Progress to Goal is not calculating and will not let me put in a formula. Can someone fix this?
