    The good thing is that you're documenting your weight honestly, seeing your pattern, and not pretending that you don't see weight gain or a plateau. This way, you are not letting things get too out of control...imagine if you weren't paying attention at all!

    Yeah, I'm a firm believer in logging it as it is. The only one you do a disservice to by not logging correctly is yourself. :wink: Thank you for recognizing my efforts! I appreciate your words of insight and encouragement!

    This is an amazing group! Gutted I have only just found it.

    Can I ask if you think it will be carried on into February?

    Fab way to start the year!

    I'll certainly be doing a February one if no one else sets one up!

    Amazing! This is ideal as I am wanting to shed a few more pounds but want to do it at a healthy and sustainable rate.

    Also, to anybody who may be able to help. I have lost just over half a stone and want to lose about 5 more pounds. Should I stick with the 1200 calorie until I hit my goal or should I start trying to figure out my maintenance?

    At the moment my goals are set to lose 2lbs a week...

    Tuesday Weigh-ins:
    Jan 17: 172.8
    Jan 24: 170.6
    Jan 31:

    GW for January 31: 168

    Loss of 2.6 pounds since last weigh-in. I suspect it's mostly water, but it's the lowest I've been for a few weeks and I'll take what I can get!

    It's at least motivating me to stay on course.

    I'm brand new to the group, just started today. I'd like to make friends with similar goals. Please add me if you are in the same boat. I'm at 142lbs, would love to lose 15. After tracking my food and exercise I noticed I'm way over the recommended caloric goals to lose weight. Looks like I'll need to be much better at watching what I eat- and I thought I was doing pretty well. Now I see why the scale isn't budging.

    I don't know how to add anyone. Can someone please tell me how it's done?

    I usually click on the photo or image above the name of the person, a window pops up, then I click on the name. The next window that pops up has the friend request button in it. I hope this helps. :)

    Great Idea! I have been avoiding the scale over the past several weeks due to the Holidays, but this is a good incentive to get back on track. I will weigh in on Sundays.

    Goal Weight: 60kg

    SW (Jan 8) : 61.6kg
    Jan 15: 61.7kg
    Jan 22: 60.8kg

    GW for January 31: 168
    FW for January 2017: 168.2—Loss of 4.6 pounds

    Only .2 pounds away from my goal weight. Not too bad. I'll consider it a win, especially since I've been under 170 since Friday. It feels great to have some momentum now.
