    Ahh.. the nightly stumble to pee... tripping over the cat.. sometimes missing the toilet and almost falling on the floor in the dark.. LOL

    Haha You're my soul sister :lol:

    ...Or when your hubby forgets to put the toilet seat down, and your bum hits the cold porcelain and you almost fall into the loo from cold bottom shock :weary:

    yeah i guess i shouldn't put a target on my weight loss as such, and i am impressed with how much i have lost so far. I suppose i am a bit impatient. If i am honest i need to lose 56 lbs altogether, 19 lost so far so still got 37 lbs to go.

    It's salt and water retention (from all the extra salt), it'll be gone in a couple of days.

    if every little deviation causes you to question your diet, I would highly recommend not weighing as frequently. These swings are super common. It takes time to put on 3 or 4 lbs of actual fat (not water). Just like it takes time for it to come off.

    I don't see any evidence that the OP is losing too quickly or dieting too aggressively. 19 lbs in 9 weeks may not work for everyone, but it's not so far out of line that anyone needs to have an eating disorder clinic on speed dial. Two pounds a week loss or even more than two isn't uncommon in the early stages of a diet. What's with the overreaction?

    @YepItsKrissYepItsKriss I do not find what you posted rude or harsh at all, but rather just the facts of the matter and some good advice, given the number of people who go gung ho with their weight loss and end up failing eventually due to lack of sustainability. Seen it so, so often during the years I have been here. I think people need to be in the right place to hear it, however.

    she started off only having to lose 56 pounds in the first place, She has lost 19 of that and STILL is trying to lose 2 pounds per week, This is 1000 calorie deficit daily.. This deficit is only achievable if you are morbidly obese, which is clearly not the case here. these 1000 calorie deficits are putting her under the minimum calorie amounts her body needs to function

    She's still in the obese category at over 200 lbs and 5'7". The standard for a safe rate of loss is 1% of body weight per week, which for her is, surprise, 2 pounds. I'm not sure where you got the idea that she was petite and completely sedentary.

    Well, yes, but while she may not want to hear the truth, there is people lurking here and i am not about to just ignore giving the facts and letting people continue to damage themselves when they may not of known themselves either.

    I know and this is what I was saying with my post and the one after.
    I think it will always be the case that some will not be willing to listen until things go wrong and they end up back here posting having fallen off the wagon, lost their energy or hit a point where they cannot lose and cannot cut their calories further safely.

    I switched from 2 to 1 pounds and I still only get 1310 per week , even for just 1 pound a week. I'm thinking of switching to .5 pounds.
    If I weigh 172 now and I want to weigh 154. Is 1 pound a week too much. I feel like I am more likely to mess up when I restrict my calories too on much. But on the other hand, only 2.5 pounds by November 19 doesn't seem like enough.

    it is supposed to be a support group is it not?

    I don't think MFP is a support group, I've never seen it that way at all. It's more of an advice/opinion forum.

    I agree. If the whole app & community, or even all the message boards, were meant to be a support group, there wouldn't be a specific motivation & support board.
