    Starting weight 1st Jan: 231lbs
    Goal weight: 186 lbs
    Current weight: 225 lbs
    Week weight loss: 0lbs
    Total weight lost:6lbs
    This week's successes: Exercised every day whilst off work
    This week's challenges: Trying not to get despondent about no weight loss, despite exercising every day and food counting. Was disciplined, within calorie limit and should have lost weight. I'm physically stronger so hoping it's muscle development and just a blip. Anyone encountered and/or overcome similar?

    I have found that when I limit my calories too much (1200-1300) or start with strenuous exercise, the scale is much slower to move. Are you measuring as well? That may help you track non scale progress.

    Starting weight: 261.3
    Goal weight: 200
    Current weight: 262.3
    Past week weight gain: 3.0
    Total weight gained: 1.0
    Past week's disaster: Sustained a bad, enduring lower back strain last Monday. I’m now living in pain and mostly immobilized. Sitting down or getting up is miserable, getting into/out of a car is a slow, agonizing, multi-step process, walking is difficult and just changing position in bed is painful. I’m done planking for what’ll be quite some time and any kind of exercise is out of the question for the foreseeable future. This is bleak.

    Starting Weight- 192
    Current weight; 193.2
    Goal Weight- 140
    Total Lost- 0 (gained 1.2 since Jan. 1st)
    This weeks successes- none
    This weeks challenges- It seems that when I try to lose weight, I do worse. I end up gaining and eating more than normal. I used to have no problem losing weight. But I guess that's what happens as you get older (Ill be 28 on January 31st).

    I hope you get well soon. It's hard not to binge eat when you're immobile.
