@rianneonamission I see your point. I apologize if my post seemed like I was encouraging others to try an unhealthy approach to losing weight. I did read the article so thank you for that and as well as sharing your experience with fasting too.
Anyways I'm back to intermittent fasting the 16:8 one, eating my macros and throwing in some cardio.
Again i apologize for posting an unhealthy approach to losing weight when this forums used to help us all learn healthy eating habits.3 -

I'm very late joining but I hope you don't mind!
I'm sensitive to gluten but have been playing with it the last few months. I know I feel better off it so last week recommitted to gf. I should drop some water weight quickly as gluten makes me hold several pounds.3 -
Here's to a great March, everyone! Here's my progress:

Lost another pound this week! I feel like a lost and gained the same one over and over, averaging myself out to be at 144 all last month with 143 popping in to say hi now and then. This week I have been a lot more strict on myself to actually be at or below 1400 a day. Not everyday has been perfect, but my average net calories isn't sitting at maintenance at the moment. Unlike last month, lol.

Still gaining weight. My macros are so on point so I'm sure it's this supplement which I knew would make me hold water. Hoping to recomp the next 8 weeks while I'm on it but I have lost hope of seeing the scale down this week lol2

Clearly whatever happened last week has resolved itself.6 -
I didn’t get my pre-holiday gym visits in before holiday because of the snow we had. Frustrating, but such is life. Did walk a fair bit on holiday (trekked around Lobos Island, got 2/3-3/4 up a volcano before my fear of heights properly kicked in), but I ate and drank so incredibly much; certainly more than the calories I earned! Mind you, only two days of eating normally and the damage actually isn’t as bad as it could have been. The food did contain a lot of sodium so I think water weight was part of it. Never mind, it’ll come off again!
In fact, below is yesterday’s weigh in. This morning I was at 165, despite ToM kicking in. And I have a PT session tonight, which will be mostly strength based, so although I have moved my March goal up to 162lbs, I am feeling positive.

So many new joiners on this thread! Welcome all! Also, too many posts to personally reply to everyone.
@itseclair I have just realised who you are! Can’t remember your previous username (tiiny?) but I twigged when I was in my MFP inbox earlier! No need to apologise to me, just making sure you are not harming yourself. It’s no good doing your body damage when in reality the goal is to look your best and be the healthiest you can be! <hug>
@2tall4thisworld <waves>. You have lost a fair bit in your absence! On the waxing front: Keep waxing, and get yourself a body brush to start using about three days after the wax (https://thebodyshop.com/en-gb/body/view-all/round-body-brush/p/p000058"]Something like this)
@KelseyRL Do you fall off the wagon to coincide with my holidays and keeping as close to twins as we can? ;-)
@mrssunshine78 & @Starflight00 Did you both have good birthdays?
@suzfoley Don’t be depressed by fluctuations – our weights do fluctuate. Get a trend app and weigh every morning. It will help you recognise that those fluctuations really are totally normal! It's definitely helped me not give a *kitten* about being up in weight.
@mrsnattybulking Forgive me for being a bit dense, but if you are recomping/bulking, why are you expecting your weight to come down? If anything it will go up as you convert fat in to muscle, whilst physically getting smaller.

Losing weight very slowly, but that's okay! My fiance and I just started lifting weights at the beginning of March and it's been such a great experience getting stronger each week. I think I've gained a little bit of muscle which could be why my weight not where I *think* it should be. Trying not to get too wrapped up in the numbers because I can see and feel a difference in how my clothes have been fitting where I carry most of my fat (thighs and stomach). Going to keep at it at the gym (which I actually like going to now)!

I'm holding firm to being gluten-free and am seeing considerable water loss as a result. I saw 157 earlier this week, only to destroy it that night with a massive amount of ice cream. Will post in the 50's next week!2 -

I'm feelin a little better about this weeks weigh in. It seems more realistic. I've been in a bad mood for several weeks and I thought it might be from not eating enough, so naturally, I had a binge weekend Ihop, McDonalds, Chipotle, Italian, Qdoba- All in 2 days! and I was feeling pretty happy about it but also ready to get healthy again. And now that I've reevaluated life a bit, I don't think it was the calories. It was still fun to eat a lot though (especially since I still lost a half pound).

The scale moved again! I wasn't expecting much - I started a new exercise program this week which I know can lead to a bit more water retention. I'm also getting closer to the weight at which I usually plateau.
It's been a brutally stressful week at work, but I've been sticking within my cals and working out on the regular, so maybe I should be so surprised to see I'm down another pound.
Also, so glad CICO keeps things that should be in moderation actually counted and in moderation, so you don't feel like one unhealthy food in a small amount is the undoing of your whole plan.1 -

Have had a meh week, I suspect the pill my obgyn has but me on does this to me. Somehow even the fact I'm wearing size 27 skinny jeans I couldn't even pull higher than my upper leg 3 months ago is not cheering me up. Feeling bloated too and fat is not going down.
Lost a pound in trending weight though, but if BF% is correct, 80% of it was something else than fat.4
