I usually pre-log every single thing in the morning while I have the motivation, usually putting in more than I think I am going to eat so that I am always excited to go back in and cut things out and bring my calorie total down. You could try setting a reminder on your phone to go back to it when you sit down for a cuppa or whatever after dinner until you get into the habit? Just a couple of things that help bring me back in the evenings

I am in! So far I have lost 58 pounds, gained 14 back. Since June of 2016. I haven't given up yet, just finding it hard to stay on track. Hoping this will help keep me accountable.

I did really well for the first 7 days last round. But then my husband and I went on a 3 night vacation to Orlando and did not eat well... So I gained back 5lbs. It's crazy how quick that happens. I wish it was as easy to lose as it is to gain... But I have no excuse this round! I'm going to give it all I've got!
Starting weight: 217.3lbs
Goal Weight: 214lbs
10/30 - 217.3lbs - Thanks to eating poorly over the last few days. Today I have been 100% back on it so hopefully tomorrow will reflect that!
The good news is that unless you ate absolutely huge amount you did not gain fat. You are probably looking at a lot of fluid retention. Drink lots of water the next few days and watch the scale go down.
Thanks for your thoughts! I didn't eat that much... It was just that what I did eat wasn't good. We were at Universal Studios and it was really difficult to eat properly there. I will definitely up my water intake to help! I've been trying to be on top of it today.5 -

TY @wannabesmaller2017 I lost some of my hair when pregnant as well as during Breast Feeding .. I was given a lotion from the hairdressers which helped me (the same stuff as I am using this time) I will have a look at recipes with avacados .. Im not their greatest fan .. the are so bland.

I've been logging food on MFP for a long time, but this is the first time I've been on the Community section. I'd like to join this challenge to help me get motivated to lose weight again. I was doing great last year when I got a fitbit for Christmas. I lost 25 lbs before June. Then summer break came (I'm a teacher) and I lost almost all of my progress. I went from my 209 lbs back up to 227 lbs.
I would love to get to 199 by the end of 2017, but as long as the numbers are going back down, I'll be happy. I'm a 5'0" tall female, so my BMI is 44.5- very obese. I need to get this weight off.
10/30: 227.7/ Met my step goal today. Food choices were not terrible, but I did give in to the Halloween candy temptation.

Slimpossible007 wrote: »question??
I have noticed my hair is thinning, I currently eat around 1650 cals a day and I am losing slowly so I think its unlikely to be that I am eating too little if I eat any higher I am going to stop losing weight, or at the very least it will be lost at an even slower rate than now. (not that I have an issue losing slower but I think 1/4 - 1/2 lb a week is slow enough not to cause other issues such as hair loss)
I've started taking supplements and I am currently using a lotion recommended by the hairdresser to help stop hair loss .. but if it's nutritional then I doubt that it will help.
So I am looking for ideas in foods that might be rich in "stuff?!?!" that's good for hair to help stop the loss. basically I am looking to attack the issue from all angles
I am hoping against all hopes I don't have to choose between thick hair and normal weight. I seriously can't afford to lose any more hair .. :-/
Other than bouts of sciatica I have no other medical issues that I know about .. so I am making the assumption that this is mainly a nutrition problem.
any help / ideas appreciated
I had problems with my hair and nails weakening/thinning a while back. I started taking virgin coconut oil in EVERYTHING (I replaced butter/olive oil with it as a cooking agent and added it to recipes as well) as well as upped my vitamin supplements (calcium/magnesium, Vit C, D,&B). That did the trick for me! I hope you find the answer and are able to grow some more hair back!4 -

I am away for work for a few days this round so will be practicing intermittent fasting and will have to remember to take my water bottle with me. Got into a good groove last round so looking to keep that going. Would like to get some more exercise this time around though as I only made it out twice last round.

I HAVE the power and determination to do this.
In the middle of Round 20, it occured to me that I may have reached my maintenance weight. I have hovered around 159 for weeks, despite keeping to my calorie goal, (10% below my TDEE), and doing loads of exercise, (and eating back minimal exercise calories). I am in the normal range for my age height and build, so I wondered if I was being realistic in my Target Goal Weight. I'm fitter and healthier than I have been for decades. I think fit and healthy should be my new focus rather than weight loss!
New Primary Goal - stay under 160lbs.
Losing a pound would be ace, as I would like a cushion for celebrations.
to all the Newbies, and Hi to those returning for another Round. This has given me an element of daily accountability which is motivational.
Observations, and Previous RoundsMany events along the way will scupper our best intentions, but they merely delay the achievement of our goals. Life is for living, and one must learn patience. It takes many years to put on excess weight, so It follows that it takes much time to remove, but it does come off, bit by stubborn bit! If you stick with it! The game continues!29/10/2017: 159.0 Goals ✅ Holding steady! And still under 160. I call that a successful Round.
A lot of people get upset by apparent weight gain when they have been working their butts off. Body weight fluctuates, both up, and down, from one day to the next depending on so many factors. From my experience:- Changes often take several days to show on the scale.
- A drop is often followed by a bounce up before it settles back down. A general downward trend is the aim.
- A high sodium day usually results in a gain due to water retention, unless you drink extra fluids to flush it out.
If you are making positive lifestyle changes it will lead to increased health and fitness.
Slow and steady leads to sustainable weight loss.
But remember to live a little along the way!
