SW 165.6 (4/23)
GW 135Brand new newbie here (or at least new to actually using it. I signed up on MFP like three years ago and immediately fell off the wagon. Giving this another go and figure this will help with accountability.
)
My goal for these 10 days is to stick with it LOL, make sure I'm getting SOME activity each day, and no soda unless at a restaurant (I'm a soda junkie and telling myself "NONE EVER!" backfired last time. This rule has worked well this past week.. I've had one soda only. ) Losing a pound would be totally accepted as well. 
4/28 164.8 (Yesterday was good. Temptation was strong, but I came in just under calories anyway, and did manage to get some workout in.)
4/29 165.4 (Not bad considering the previous day. It This day was a definite"cheat" type of day. All morning & afternoon I was at a conference, and all evening I was out to dinner with friends. I tried to make sure I stayed moving during the conference breaks, and I made sure to cut my dinner portions in half - yay leftovers! - but I know it was definitely cheaty.)
4/30 164.6 (Back on track, more or less. )
5/1 163.8 (Hubby was night-snacking last night and I managed to scrounge up some willpower and not join in. Seeing a jump down is a nice reward for that.)
5/2 163.6 (Ate out last night, but planned ahead for it and adjusted other meals/added activity accordingly.)
5/3 163.4 (I think I need to figure out how to get more protein in my diet regularly. I more than usual yesterday and genuinely felt fuller.)
5/4 163.0 (I'm taking this steady downward trend while it's here. I'm sure the weekend will bring a little nudge back up.)

5/01 - 163 Gym day yesterday so down a bit. So thankful for my little local gym after reading comments on here. Lots of retired people if you go in the morning and so friendly and encouraging.
5/02 - 162.8 Gym today and gardening this afternoon, just have to not eat it back.
5/03 – 163.8 Was so good yesterday but did eat some very salty ham so maybe it’s water weight?
5/04 – 163 Usually go to the gym Fridays but have a tree to plant and other gardening stuff to do before my trip, so that will have to be my exercise. Too bad knitting doesn’t burn calories – have a lot of that to do to finish this baby blanket in time.

Round 39 (Round 1 for me!)
4/28 - 190.2
4/29 - 192.2: Big dinner of country style ribs, baked potato, corn, and a couple of Seagrams spiked. My weekly indulgence. The rest of the week will be better!
4/30 - 194.2: Not heading in the direction I want, but today is a new day. Ham and more Seagrams are not helping the situation!
5/1 - 192.6: That's better. Tuna sandwich for lunch; chicken salad for dinner. 45 minute walk with the daughter.
5/2 - 191.8: I’ll take it! Same lunch as yesterday. Dinner was a couple of slices of ham and a baked potato. No exercise.
5/3 - 190.2: Woohoo!!! Back where I started the round! LOL. My doctor called yesterday afternoon and is decreasing my thyroid meds again (just lowered it 5 weeks ago). Not sure why it's dropping all of a sudden.
5/4 - 190.0: Considering I succumbed to my sweet tooth yesterday, I'm surprised! Hopefully this means I may just say farewell to the 190's tomorrow morning when I do my weekly weigh-in. Working on a fast today...on hour 14 right now.

@wellnfree - always happy to see a fellow knitter! Looks like our weights are similar too. I've been tempted to see if I could manage knitting while on the elliptical. As long as it was a small project (like a hat) I think I might could.2

Day/Weight/Comment
4/28 - 321.4 (-3.0) It's one heck of a start. I'm not even sure why the loss happened. I ate a good bit yesterday and the day before. I guess my metabolism is kicking in ways I don't know or it could be the getting up and moving once an hour for just a few minutes an hour. I'm not complaining, just curious so I can repeat it going forward.
4/29 - 320.2 (-1.2) Woohoo! It's still going down. It seems the moving around is still the key and reasonable eating. I'm not going crazy with food or motion. This is helping to keep Ed quiet as well. Quite interesting.
4/30 - 317.2 (-3.0) That's a pretty good drop. Ed's voice is pretty quiet lately and I have been eating better. I am sleeping alright. I feel pretty good these days. And drinking plenty of water, definitely plenty of water.
5/1- 316.2 (-1.0) Not so much exercise as it was just diet. I'm hoping for more exercise today, but nervous about activity while my aide is here today. I feel uncomfortable doing my walking in front of others, like I have to explain myself. I know it sounds silly, but there it is.
5/2 - 316.6 (+0.4) Not sure about the increase, but not worried about it as well. I weighed in at an earlier time which might explain it. No big deal.
5/3 - 317.6 (+1.0) No explanation for the increase other than it wasn't the same time of day, which I know does impact what the scale says. I'm not going to worry about it. I did well with my eating yesterday. I just need to stick with it, and I nailed my walking as well. I almost hit the active mark for my Fitbit for every hour except one, and that was just by a few steps. We'll see how it goes today.
5/4 - 314.6 (-3.0) I'm pleasantly surprised by the drop, likely drop of water as TOM draws closer to a close. I'm kept at my diet and hit my daily step goal. I don't know if I will hit my steps today given the time of day that I am coming fully around. I have some things that I need to do today, but my CSS wants to meet at 3:15 throwing a monkey wrench into the timing of things. Oh, well, there's tomorrow to work things out.

@SheilaBoneham I hope you feel better soon! I noticed that you track your average calories eaten — I’ve been focusing on tracking my average calorie deficit because then it doesn’t look like I’m eating too much when I just had a big exercise day.
@rkl_ Yes weekends & associated food/social gatherings can be tricky... I’ve started bringing veggies and nuts & eat them before arriving at someone’s home. Then I find I naturally eat less. Funny thing is when I look around at the thinner women in the room, they are barely eating or are eating what I am & they often skip dessert, so I’m learning their strategies!!
I’m training my friends & family over time that I mostly just drink water, coffee, and tea at restaurants because, truly, my food addiction is restaurant meals.
@frida001 Yes, you can enjoy the 130’s!! Dare to dive in!! You GO!!!! Congratulations!!9 -
@doseofcrazy and @wellnfree - I'm not a knitter but a hooker (crochet) and have a lot of that to do! I have done some knitting, but my main projects are all crochet. It's nice to have others of the yarn crafts around.

There is a feature here to enter your own recipes. I use it, but I found that if you edit a recipe that you've used previously, the output is wonky. I double check every ingredient independently by gram weight (using Google) when I enter a recipe so I can increase my confidence in the output...and the best thing is that by adjusting the portion size, you really can zero in on exactly how much of something homemade you can actually eat.
I've found that a great strategy is to add up all of the calories in the dish, then weigh the whole thing once it's prepared. Then enter the number of grams as the number of "servings." That way, you can just weigh your serving and enter it as grams and it figure it out for you. This is especially useful for soups!7 -

4/28 83.8 kg
Yesterday I drank some beers so there might be something with water I don't know. Tomorrow weight will be more precise.
4/29 83.5 kg
Yesterday was good except chocolate soufflé. Still, I was under my calorie and I walked 7880 steps which is good for a Saturday.
4/30 82.9 kg
Yesterday was good. I walked 7870 steps and eat all my calories and extra calories from walking too. However nearly 1 kg difference in two days really weird it must be about water I should log my water too and drink more. And also I'll probably have my period tomorrow so maybe it's about that, not sure...
5/01 82.7 kg
Wow still going down. Yesterday was ok. I passed my calorie limit a little and ate two cookies. I walked 6900 steps, which is not enough.
5/02 82.6 kg
Yesterday was not bad actually but, I ate the dinner very late and it was a falafel wrap so it's not the best choice. Still, I was below my calorie limit. I walked 8400 steps which is not enough. This week my steps are really bad actually. Last week I walked much more than this.
5/03 82.3 kg
Yesterday... I don't know. At afternoon, I couldn't eat enough because of feeling sick. But at night, I was with my friends and went a bar, so... I drank 2 small (33 cl) beer however, I was below my calorie limit.
5/04 81.9 kg
Yesterday I was sick, tired, sleepless and busy. I couldn't choose what I eat and ate some pizza, I didn't log my food but sure that I ate much more than calorie limit. I didn't drink enough water too. I'm curious about tomorrow's weight.

I wasn't hungry or thirsty at all today.
I didn't even make it to a thousand calories and severely under the amount of water I drink. I've added about 200 more calories worth of food to my diary in hopes that I'll be able to eat it before I go to bed. It's not looking good right now.
I'll probably be deleting it. 7 -

4/28 209.4 Ready. Steady. Go! Good luck to everyone in this challenge!
4/29 208.5 Not sure if this weight will stick around tomorrow because yesterday was a very busy day working with my DH rebuilding a shed at my mom’s. No breakfast, late small salad with some chicken for lunch, and just a small bowl of rice krispies for dinner because by the time we finished and got home it was just too late to eat much else and I was really tired. Did keep hydrated throughout day though.
4/30 208.5 hmmm…..it did stick around. Yay!
5/01 208.1
5/02 208.6 I like to graph my weight loss, and my graph looks like a rickety old staircase with risers and treads. As long as that staircase is heading down, it’s all good. So it would seem that for the past 4 days, I’m hanging out on a tread. I’ve heard some people refer to this as a mini-plateau. Anyway, I’m doing really good eating within my calorie goal, and no mindless snacking, and from past experience with weight loss I know I can linger on a “tread” for anywhere from 3 to 7 days. Then I have a drop. I just hope this holds true this time around. Have a nice day, everyone!
5/03 207.8 Yes!...a number under 208 something. I'll take it!
5/04 No scale today. Slept over at my nurse daughter’s last night to put her kids on the bus this AM for her and take her youngest to preschool. Then I spent the afternoon/evening at my other daughter’s house helping her start packing up to move. I’m tired! But I’m home now and will weigh in the AM.

5/01-Planning my meals, going for groceries. Eating lots of vegetables, and fruit. Been over 10, 000 steps the last two days. Stay positive!!!
5/02- Great time in the morning, enjoying the weather. Its like Summer! Eating healthy! Fitbit steps 9,000.
5/03- Today is my 6 week, since my surgery still have to be careful with bending if I do to much I have headaches. I am doing so well it is unbelievable. Eating like a rainbow lots of coloured vegetables. Making sure to start my vitamins in taking a good fish oil, Vit. C. Lots of water.
5/04 It was a crazy, windy day, 123 km. Lots of damage. My weight is up today, and I have been eating good.
Have a great weekend!9 -

Just getting back into logging after a month off. After beating myself up for poor diet choices for weeks, getting back into the routine hasn’t been as bad as I thought. I’m hoping it’s just the case of breaking the first few days. Will have to drink lots over next few days as Monday’s run is predicted to be really hot. The secret seems to be logging in advance, and I’ve found a muscle mousse desert for the evenings which is curbing my sugar cravings!

5/04 -- 192.8 I wonder if I'm logging properly. Most of the food I eat is home made, and it can be difficult to guestimate what numbers to check against it (shepherd's pie, chowder, chicken stew etc.). I'm starting to suspect that I've been underestimating my numbers.
5/05 -- 192.2 Two days left to get back to where I started this round. Then I write it off and never speak of it again.

There is a feature here to enter your own recipes. I use it, but I found that if you edit a recipe that you've used previously, the output is wonky. I double check every ingredient independently by gram weight (using Google) when I enter a recipe so I can increase my confidence in the output...and the best thing is that by adjusting the portion size, you really can zero in on exactly how much of something homemade you can actually eat.
I've found that a great strategy is to add up all of the calories in the dish, then weigh the whole thing once it's prepared. Then enter the number of grams as the number of "servings." That way, you can just weigh your serving and enter it as grams and it figure it out for you. This is especially useful for soups!
Thank you both. I'm going to have to start doing that to get a better idea of what I'm really eating.5 -

4/28 83.8 kg
Yesterday I drank some beers so there might be something with water I don't know. Tomorrow weight will be more precise.
4/29 83.5 kg
Yesterday was good except chocolate soufflé. Still, I was under my calorie and I walked 7880 steps which is good for a Saturday.
4/30 82.9 kg
Yesterday was good. I walked 7870 steps and eat all my calories and extra calories from walking too. However nearly 1 kg difference in two days really weird it must be about water I should log my water too and drink more. And also I'll probably have my period tomorrow so maybe it's about that, not sure...
5/01 82.7 kg
Wow still going down. Yesterday was ok. I passed my calorie limit a little and ate two cookies. I walked 6900 steps, which is not enough.
5/02 82.6 kg
Yesterday was not bad actually but, I ate the dinner very late and it was a falafel wrap so it's not the best choice. Still, I was below my calorie limit. I walked 8400 steps which is not enough. This week my steps are really bad actually. Last week I walked much more than this.
5/03 82.3 kg
Yesterday... I don't know. At afternoon, I couldn't eat enough because of feeling sick. But at night, I was with my friends and went a bar, so... I drank 2 small (33 cl) beer however, I was below my calorie limit.
5/04 81.9 kg
Yesterday I was sick, tired, sleepless and busy. I couldn't choose what I eat and ate some pizza, I didn't log my food but sure that I ate much more than calorie limit. I didn't drink enough water too. I'm curious about tomorrow's weight.
5/05 81.7 kg
Yesterday I was really sick (got cold) but had to go to work. I couldn't eat enough, took my pills and today I'm better. I'm really surprised this one week change. I didn't expect this much lost. I still think most of it water but it's good to see these numbers. I hope to maintain this lost and go further.

R39 SW: 196.2lbs
R39 goal: 191.8lbs (-4.4lbs)
UGW: 143 lbs
4/28: 192.9lbs (-3.3lbs from SW) I feel good that my weight has dropped by 3.3lbs. I know that I put the effort in, but I feel really bloated.. So it feels extra nice that the numbers are moving in the right direction. My SW is from wednesday.
4/29: 194.0lbs (-2.2lbs from SW) I was so proud of myself this saturday because I didn't go over 1200kcal. I actually ate less than 1200kcal.. I usually losen up a bit and eat around 1500kcal on saturdays, but not this saturday! This has to be water weight. And this is why I usually only weigh once a week
4/30: 193.3lbs (-2.9lbs from SW) I feel demotivated because of the weighing everyday. I eat a looot of salt and I’m on water retaining meds, I don’t think this challenge is for me I’ve sticked to 1200kcal for a month now without any splurges!
5/01: 192.2lbs (-4.0lbs from SW) Maybe I'll reach my goal. Too soon to tell with this weird body. Feeling more motivated now that the scale is going in the right direction
5/02: 191.8lbs (-4.4lbs from SW). Woooooo My goal! Lost some cm here and there, but my boobs have grown 3cm hahah! Nice to be 23 years old and still have growing boobs I guess. This is turning out better than expected, even if it's clearly something hormonal going on.
5/03: 191.1lbs (-5.1lbs from SW). Wow, I hope this downward trend continues. I didn't eat enough yesterday because I wasn't feeling good. Gonna focus on eating more today.
5/04: 191.1lbs (-5.1lbs from SW).
5/05: 190.7lbs (-5.5lbs from SW). I think a lot of this has to do with hormones. I can’t lose 5.5lbs of fat in 8 days. I’m gonna see how things level out until wednesday and maybe add 100-200 more calories to my plan. Then weigh once a week to know if I’m still on the right track. I don’t want to lose weight too fast, it’s a lifestyle change afterall. I’m going to visit family, so I don’t have access to a scale for the next 2 days.
5/06: no scale (going away)
5/07: no scale7 -

Nothing works unless you have a sustained calorie deficit over time. Anything will work if you have a sustained calorie deficit over time.
Motivation is overrated. What you need is education, willingness to eat less, a good plan, and discipline to stick to it.
