Whew! Watching my scale progress is like watching paint dry, LOL! But I've got lots of other metrics to measure success. Scale doesn't tell the whole story.
Successes this month, so far:
Sticking to my 2-3 strength workouts every week
Daily cardio walks (30-60 minutes daily)
Lost 0.5" in each of waist and hips, 0.75" each thigh since 1 August
Needs improvement:
Food logging. Too often I neglect the little tastes, licks, and bites of random things. Of course the scale moves slower when I'm eating more than I log.5 -

I stayed within my calorie goal all week. I started an ab crunch, squat and push-up challenge on 9/1 and have completed it every day. My weight stayed the same for the last 6 days until the 2.5 drop just this morning. To all who lost congratulations! To those struggling just stay the course. I was discouraged all week by the scale but I kept going, logging, exercising and it paid off. Patience is key.

It was a rough week for me getting my classroom ready. Kept up with most of planned workouts but my logging slacked. It's just a small gain and I'm not too worried about it. I'm back to logging everything again. Good job on those who lost!3 -

How is everyone doing?
With my new diet, I feel like I'm in a new relationship, you know how it's all fun and cute and butterflies when you first start dating someone?
With this diet, I've lost the most weight while feeling amazing, and not deprived and pretty excited about this new road.
Granted, I'm only on Day 10, but I am very happy with the results so far.
I also can see myself sticking to this.
Look at my lunch: vibrant grilled lime shrimp with arugula/cherry tomato/broccoli salad. So yummy!
Every day, I wake up feeling great!
Let's do this!

Did a weigh in today - randomly and I'm at 208.5 - whoop whoop.3
-
Starting weight 265 lbs
Weight 1st Sept 239.5
Weight 8th Sept 237.5
Weight 15th Sept 235.4
Weight loss so far in Sept: 4lbs
On track to get the 5lbs this month and almost 30 pounds down since starting this in June. Sometimes I wish the losses were bigger but I've been steadily losing 1-2 pounds every week and I've stuck to it for 3 months now without problems which is better in the long run I guess.
Everybody else is doing great, keep up the awesome work!

MFP set my max calorie allotment based on personal parameters, goals, etc. When in the weight loss journey does MFP reset the calories lower?0

Forgive the poor quality picture:
I don't feel it's too dressy...I've seen people show up in everything to what you have on all the way down to shorts and a golf shirt.
I would definitely bring a wrap or cover up or something though! Buildings are always colder than I expect!
I live in Michigan though and the weather is turning cold.
You look great! Go get 'em!

The weight is just not coming off as fast as it did April through August which I realize is normal. I'm happy it's just going down and my measurements are going down too.

It automatically changed roughly every 10 pound weight loss for me. I started at about 1900 calories daily and I'm currently at 1700. I haven't changed any of my goals or targets. It dropped by about 80 calories each time. Hope this helps.0 -
