SW: 224
CW: 207.5
TL: 16.5
UGW: 110
Other NSV:
2 inches off waist
2 inches off stomach
!!!!
What's working: Ab & leg workouts. (I'm REALLY happy with the progress.)
What's not working: trying to go to restaurants with friends and family. It's really difficult even smelling the food, so I'm just going to try to stay away from now on.1 -
SW: 300lbs - 136 kg
CW: 283.07 lbs - 128.4 kg
GW: 175
Loss Last Week: 3.09
Total Loss: 16.93
Short term goal: 275 by August
What's Working:
I am loving swimming well besides the sunburn from yesterday. I did 50 minutes of laps only stopping every other lap to rest for less than 30 seconds. Breast stoke is easily my best and freestyle is getting better.
What's Not:
I think MFP over estimates swimming calories. It's just a gut feeling but I am only going to eat back 50% of calories from it.1 -

Current problems: Emotional/stress eating. I work in theatre, and have been getting home late from rehearsals. I do a good job tracking during the days, but when I get home from rehearsals, I can't stop myself from grazing in the fridge or cupboards. I have yet to join a gym, because gyms scare me, and I feel like I don't know enough to be there... but I think that might be my next move in June.
Dude get a gym membership. No reason to be scared at all. Go there and ask people they will help you. I have the same grazing problem you have here is my solution. Plan out snacks in advance. Plan a late night snack for when you would normally graze. It works but currently I haven't been doing that and I have fell back into the grazing. I started right about where you are at 415 I've lost 90 lbs so far and my goal is close to yours. I'm in a slump where I have been grazing so not losing too much right now but trust me it works to plan it out.2 -

Total Loss - 57.4lbs
Short term goal: I'll aim for 260lbs by the end of June!
I had a good loss this week and I'm pleased with that. I'm feeling a bit....weary I suppose. My workouts felt harder than usual this week, I think that was mainly because it got hot here (for us, we live in Scotland, the land of snow and ice!) and it felt rather like wading through water trying to do anything. Humidity I guess. My eating was fine but I had this feeling like I should have "done better" - I'm not sure why. Perhaps I'm just having a bit of an emotional slump. Anyway I'm hanging in there - drinking my water, eating well and working out. I'm in this for the long haul!2 -

Holiday Weekend 0 - Me 1. I made it through a long weekend without a gain - will try to make up for it this week. Too many temptations and too much time out of my "routine".1 -

What's going well:
* Controlling portion sizes when cooking
* Finally getting back to logging my food. I think making my diary private for now was the right call.
* Running is going well!
What's going poorly:
* Gotten out of the rhythm of making a few days of lunch at a time. Hoping to do that tonight, or over the weekend at latest.
* My flow practice has been completely neglected for weeks. Gotta get back into it.
Mission Statement
* I will log faithfully. I will log faithfully. I will log faithfully.3 -
Wow - it's been almost a month since I last updated....
My Starting Weight: ~375 lbs (01/01/2017)
My goal: 300 lbs by end of summer
Previous Milestone: 315 lbs - acheived today!
New Milestone: 310 lbs, hopefully by the end of June
Current Weight: 315 lbs, 06/01
Total loss: -60 lbs; -4 inches from waist & hips
What's working: trying to stick to my calorie limit, trying to limit added sugars, staying away from pop and junk food as much as possible. I lowered my calorie limit another 50 points, as I seem to need to be under what MFP says I should be to lose weight.
What's not working: The macros are a lost cause. I try to get at least decently close on my protein intake and not go over too horribly with the carbs, but that's as close as I can get. My sugar limit goes over daily, but that's because MFP doesn't differentiate between natural sugar from whole fruits and added sugar - the only way to stay within the sugar limits is to quit eating fruit period, but I need the nutrients from it. I've recently started trying to keep track of fiber because I really need to watch that intake for health reasons. Hormonal fluctuations have not been helping at all - the scale has been bouncing the last few weeks as my dietary intake hasn't been all that great (too much out to eating), and my emotional health hasn't been too good lately. I was thrilled at the loss today; I needed that boost!3 -

About Me: 27 years old, office worker (marketing).
My Starting Weight: 260 lbs (01/01/2017)
My Ultimate Goal Weight: <150 lbs (I'm 5'4" so I will evaluate body composition after this)
My goal date for losing 100 lbs is by early summer 2018
Target Loss: at least 1.5 lbs per week
Milestone #1: 235 lbs (by April for a trip to London - on track, only 5lbs to go in three weeks!) DONE!
Milestone #2: 220 lbs (my next 20lbs loss and my next reward bracelet)
Milestone #3: 199 lbs (I'd love to be in Onederland for Ren Faire in early November. 33 weeks, and 33-66lbs are possible!)
Last Check-In Weight: 229.0 lbs, 05/01
Current Weight: 230.1 lbs, 06/01
Loss between checkins: +1.1 lbs
Total loss: -30 lbs
Basically wasted May in a holding pattern, but I'm ready to get back on track. Had a lot going on at work, but that's calmed down now so I should be able to try and watch what I'm eating and work out more often. This week has already been better but I'm still holding onto 230.1lbs. Hoping some of it is water weight from being sore again.
The important thing I'm trying to take away from this is that I can't give up. I have to keep pushing. This is just a minor setback.
June Goals: Track. My. Food. Also, workout 4-5x a week again.3 -
Joining in on this for June!
Starting weight: 281.4 lbs (3/27/17)
Current weight: 259.6 lbs (6/1/17)
Total loss: 21.8lbs
Loss last week: 1.6lbs
Goal loss rate: 2 lb per week
Next milestone: 250lbs - should hit that sometime in June!
Goal weight: Not sure, will talk to my trainer and doctor to find the right number but probably 150ish
What's going well:
* Logging my food has become second nature
* 6AM workouts are the best, who would have thought?
What's going poorly:
*Eating out is a challenge. With Memorial Day and my wedding anniversary last weekend, it was tough to stay on track with both diet and exercise
*Weekends in general are still challenging. Not as hard as it once was but I still definitely eat better during the week.
Mission Statement
JUST KEEP TRYING

Oh wow I haven't updated in awhile.
SW:287.6 (2/17/2017)
CW: 236.8 (6/1/2017)
UGW: 140
Short Term Goal: Hit 227 by Father's Day. This will put me at 60lbs. lost since I started at my highest weight.
What's working: Getting my 10,000 steps in daily, tracking, water consumption, and not eating out.
What's not: When the weather gets this nice out I love to enjoy cocktails by a campfire. On the weekends I struggle with this hard. Doing low carb makes this difficult at times. So I just try to pick one night and enjoy 2

What's working- I'm finding the Fitbit a good motivator. I know I'm moving more than I would without it.
What could be better - I'm going to try to meet my daily step count every day this week! Didn't manage this last week. Have asked my husband if he can watch the kids in the early evening to let me get out and walk the dog every day.
We were a bit all over the place this week with meal planning. Will be better this week at deciding what we will eat for our evening meal in advance.
I've been significantly under the calorie goal because the Fitbit has adjusted my goal significantly but if I have only lost 1 lb eating way below this then I need to aim to not eat back a lot of the calories. I will aim to eat bacon less than half the calories this week.

What's working: Drinking a LOT more water this week, and continuing to do better at planning out my meals for the day before I leave my house in the morning. I've found that getting up a little earlier, drinking 2-3 cups of water and eating a banana, then working out and drinking another 2-3 cups of water throughout the workout has helped curb my appetite until lunch. I've also started trying to do a better job pre-logging meals so I can see what I *might* have left over for some snacks. I'm also proud of this week's weight loss, because it doesn't show that I bounced back up about 2 pounds after Memorial Day, so I got it off as well as an additional 2.6 pounds this week. (I swear I'm not starving myself!)
What's not working: I'm in a very hectic time at work - I'm there for both my desk job and stage managing the show that opens next week (the 16th), so this is the time in a production when I really start overindulging and snacking... trying REALLY hard to not do that. This also means that I'm not walking to work anymore, both because it's gotten hot quickly, as well as the fact that it's not totally safe to walk home through my city after 8pm... Trying to build in more walking in other ways, though.2 -

SW: 270 (February 18th 2017)
CW: 228.2 (June 4th 2017)
Loss so far: 41.8 pounds
I FINALLY hit my 40 pounds gone forever goal today!
Ultimate goal weight would be 150ish but it's hard to even imagine myself that way.
First big goal is to get to 200 pounds. Small goals are in 10 pound increments.
I would like to lose 10 more pounds before July 1st( 8.2 to go) but really it's about balance and my mental health as well as my physical health!
What's working: I started IF and whole 30 June 1. Its working! I'm staying under calories, getting more sleep, keeping accountable with friends and mfp.
What's not working: when I get negative self talk going. I'm learning to push it out and change it.2 -

GW: 150lbs by Feb, 2018
Last Week's Weight loss: -2.60 lbs.
Total Loss -41.2 lbs
Short term goal: 225 by July 17.
What's working: logging and water. I am starting a new exercise routine today!!
What's not working: I have my mother living with me for the summer and she is dealing with memory loss and back pain issues (she's 93). I tend to eat junk when I get nervous or upset and seeing her like that is tearing me apart. So far, I am keeping ALL the junk food out of the house - told my husband if he wanted it he'd have to hide it really well!!!!!

It's supposed to say eat BACK less than half the calories.
I might eat bacon once this week though, I do like bacon for a special breakfast!1
