Hello everyone.
So here are my stats
W1: 10st 10
W2: 10st 7
W3: 10st 2
W4: 10st 5
W5: 10st 4
I'm so happy! Another lb gone, and I'm so pleased that with accurate accurate tracking my body is actually doing the whole calories thing- it makes sense as a Biology major that this should be the way but it never worked ... but it's because I was never tracking 100% accurately- probably around 80%.
I just had the best bowl of gourmet porridge- banana chocolate philadelphia and peanut butter- so good! to rewad myself. I've worked hard this week for that pound and it just motivates me to keep doing what I'm doing. I also ate a proper dinner every night this week- huge progress for me.
In some ways it's frustrating when it is kind of slow... I've been so good all week exercising and eating and I think psychologically I secretly wanted more than a lb but i need to tell myself that when its more its generally unsustainable. and that this way It will keep coming off and the only way is down and definitely not back up!
Gonna relax a little bit on the food front today- but still log and then get back on strict tomorrow. Today is the best day to do a bit of 'cheating' as I will have the rest of the week to get back on it before my next weigh in. Plus I think ur mind needs a break and my whole thing at the moment is not binging-offsetting binges and so far it has worked- I havent binged all week!!

last week: 57.5kg/126.7lbs
this week: 56.9kg/125.4lbs
1.3lbs, I'm very happy considering I had a bit of a binge on Wednesday and haven't really exercised a lot, also under (just!) 9 stone! officially 8 stone something, wooo :drinker: :smokin: :bigsmile:0 -
Today I weighed in at 141.9, I started Feb 11th at 145 pounds roughly (since the scale i had back then was really old and not exact).
The biggest changes i'm noticing is my measurements! I originally started at a 31 inch waist, i just did my measurements today and im a 29 now! I feel slimmer and my pants got extra space in them now. Also my love handle area was a 37 to start now im at 34.5.
For anyone who's interested..i'm going to quickly share what i've been doing.
1.Exercise! I exercise every day. I take 1 day "off"" on tuesdays but its not really "off" because i walk fast on the treadmill for 15 minutes to burn quick calories! Thats my 150 calorie exercise day, the day i calll ÖFF. On Mondays I go on the treadmill for 40 minutes and burn 400 calz, Wednesdays and Thursdays I go on for 50 minutes and burn 500 calz, Friday/Sat/Sun I got on for 60 minutes and burn 600 calz.
2.I eat! I eat back about 75% or more of my burned calories, depending on how i feel that day or how hungry i am. MFP has me on a 1200 calorie diet, but I eat back only about 3/4s of my calories, i usually log less exercise time and calories. I don't deprive myself either of naughty foods, if i want to eat a slice of vanilla cake, i will eat half of it! i follow shaun t of t25s/insanity rule -85/15. 85% good food 15% naughty food! Been working for me..When i see 130's on the scale i'm going to be soo happy0 -
just so theres no confusion i eat back 3/4s of my exercise calories. so it would be 1200 calories that mfp sets out for me + exercise calories!0

Last week: 133.4 lbs
This week: 132.4 lbs !
I'm going on vacation this week, I'm gonna do my best to make healthy choices but it's going to be tough!0 -
this week 1 lb loss
Which is good for me since I have been stuck for month's!!0 -
Saturday February 15: 140 lbs
Saturday February 22: 136.8 lbs
Saturday March 1: 134.8 lbs
I think it's mostly water weight though, because my weight fluctuates daily, and I can lose one day, and then have gained back more the next even though I've met my goals for food and exercise.0 -
sw:165 (sept 10)
Week 1: 144
Week 2: 145.2
Week 3: 144
This week: 142.8
Back on track!0 -
Starting weight 5 weeks ago 150
Last week weigh in was 146
Today weigh in 143.8
Im happy with the numbers, but Im not taking it too seriously because Im always heavier the week right before the time of my month, and then I lose it.
Pushing through everyday day....my body is starting to feel tighter and my clothes are starting to fit more comfortably 0 -
Week 1: 135.6
Week 2: 139.6
I'm not even worried about that # though because I know it's due to eating some junk food the last couple of days + a lot more exercise (so water weight/swollen muscles). I know I didn't gain 4 lbs of fat in one week. I'm sure it will go back down by next Saturday's weigh in.
I did start counting calories again today for the first time this year. I weighed 148.6 on Jan 1st and basically have eaten whatever I wanted and lost weight since then, but the closer I get to my goal weight -the harder/slower it is to lose.
I counted calories for a couple of months last Oct/Nov and didn't like doing it/got too obsessed with the #s. This time around, I'm going to use it a tool to finally get back down to the weight I want to be.0 -
Starting weight: 163
Last week: 145
Today: 143
20 pounds down and 3 pounds from my original goal. I've changed my goal to be 130 lbs. now0 -
Starting weight a week ago was 158. This week is160. I am discouraged not to see positive progress but I had a few days I went over calories. This week I will try to increase exercise and decrease cheat days.0

No movement on the scale this week, BUT... lost an inch off my waist, abdomen, hips and bust, so something's going on!0

Friday 28 Feb was the last day of a 10 day low carb (no grains or starches)"challenge" and at the start of that I was 205. I weighed myself friday and was 202.8. So that is 2.2 lbs gone. woo hoo! and it wasn't even that hard to do! Gonna try another 10 days starting tomorrow.
So start weight Dec 2013 - 223
Current weight Feb 28 2014 - 202.8 (20 lbs GONE!!)
Goal by Summer: 1860 -
Two pound lost this week, I am happy with that.0

"Gained" 4lbs this past week. My weight changes from day to day all the time. I did eat more junk this past weekend as I always do when I work (14hr shifts). I know it will go back down in a day or 2, it always does. I'm not going to let this get me down. I was still up at 4:30 this morning to start my workout before work.0

Jan 20 to Feb 20: 6 lbs lost
Feb 20 to now: 4.5lbs gained
I've ran more, lifted more and ate more (healthy stuff) to make sure I net a good amount. Then my unpredictable TOM showed up, bloat seems to be gone now but the scale hasn't gone down. That's OK. 0 -
Start weight: 164.0 lbs.
This week: 161.2 lbs.
This was not a true weight loss through effort though. I got a stomach virus and was not able to eat anything more then bananas, applesauce, toast, and ginger ale.
Actually had to leave work because I was so sick. Hope none of you get it .... :sick:0 -
Last Monday: 161 lbs.
Today: 158.5
I still can't believe I'm finally able to get that scale to move.0 -
Last week: 137 lbs
This week: 140 lbs
I am not happy about being back in the 140's, but I have slacked off. It is also my TOM, so I will have to wait for next week to see if this has any bearing. Yesterday was also my 25th birthday and I enjoyed dinner out with my mom and brother. I ate my dinner AND an appetizer (pretty much all of it), but it was my birthday..so I am okay with that! You only turn 25 once 0 -
Last week: 164lbs
This week: 163 slow and steady wins the race 0 -
Last week: 145
This week: 142
Fully clothed and at night. Pleasant surprise!0 -
Seems like alot of people had the same kinda week as me - slight gain. I knew it was coming, had been so busy and disorganised this wk, my schedule / will power / lack of strategy got the better of me. But we live and learn! Next week I know our numbers are gonna be brilliant! Go Team!
W1 : 167.5
W2 : 163.5 (-4)
W3 : 160.5 (-3)
W4 : 159 (-1.5)
W5 : 160 (+1)
Need to remember that my ultimate goal is 140 by the end of june. So thats 20lb in 16 wks! I know I can do it - blips will happen but once the TREND is downwards i'm happy out!
Sending ye healthy happy vibes x x x0 -
starting weight in January: 163 lbs
Weigh in last week: 143.6 lbs
Weight this week: 141.4 lbs
Almost down to my original goal of 140 and now still fairly close to my final goal of 130 lbs. 22 pounds down in 2 months, not bad at all lol0 -
Starting weight: 148.6 (this was on January 1st) and then I found this group a couple of weeks ago.
Week 1: 135.6
Week 2: 139.6 ( some "junk food"/water weight couple fays before the weigh in)
Week 3: 134.8
So, down just a little bit from week 1, but I'll take it. I started counting calories again on March 1 since it is getting harder to lose the weight -need to know exactly how much I'm eating.
I want to be out the 130's so bad, but I also want to stay out of the 130's so I know slow and steady is the way to go.0 -
This is for Saturday March 8th -
Week 1: 158
Week 2: 160
Week 3: 157
Back on track Not always making the calorie goals and I'd like to up the exercise but I do feel like by tracking I'm eating a lot fewer calories than I would have been normally. 0 -
After a few weeks away from the scale I weighed in this Fri with a 2.5 lb loss. I will take it. of course I wanted more but not bad and I wasn't obsessing over scale but focussing on calories in and excercise. I eat back my excercise calories b/c I know that for me it is more realistic long term. I love to eat. Now I just know if I eat that it will equal treadmill time lol. MFP really helps keep me motivated especially reading success stories. 0
