I met my 2nd goal yesterday. Felt like it took forever but I know that was partially my fault with vacation.
Here's to the next 20lbs! Looking forward to seeing your updates. See y'all next week! 6 -
Watch the progress -- even just a little bit each week.
Establish good habits -- success is just doing the little things every day in the right way

)
5/6/18 -- 313.8 (+1.8 total, +.25 average) (Rock top -- bottom. Completely went off plan, focus, anything you can think of I did wrong. Except I kept weighing and kept logging. Recommitting to my family and to myself to make this work.)
5/13/18 -- 307.6 (-4.4 total, .55 average per week) (New found life -- my medical person focused me on a keto diet -- under 20g carbs per day. Six days in have lost 6.2 pounds. Feeling much better this week. Hope everyone is keeping the faith)
5/20/18 -- 306.4 (-5.6 total, .62 average per week)2 -
Only lost a pound this week. My food choices were good so I believe it's because I dont drink enough water. Water intake will be my focus this coming week.

I want to encourage everyone to take advantage of the really well done and interesting food movies available on Netflix and Amazon Prome as well as medical doctors Dr Berg and Dr Jason Jung on youtube. (Other formats like hulu, etc probably too)
Dr Berg teaches from his medical text books making them understandable for the layman as well as using visual aids and
Dr Jung discusses positive results he has accomplished in his medical practice in both interviews and lectures.
You get to actually sit in medical school or hear a lecture from a real doctor to other doctors. Seriously prime information.
Even if you don’t follow their exact plans, the info on the human body and the results should be valuable to you.
I really believe people should spend time researching the accurate new information available to us in recent years.
High School biology is only the bare basic information and doesn’t explain the changes in our food sources in the last half century.
These movies and info are not like the old food movies which slammed companies just to make a buck. And you do need to sort out the non-professional people who are just making up things to sell products and fake food. And remember that there are profit centers like big-pharm that don’t want a healthy population so weigh flames accordingly.
The best information available now is made up of many legit researchers and doctors and some of it contradicts each other but you know your body best and maybe even this information will help overcome the roadblocks you have never conquered.
Many movies are entertaining, others clinical and some are disturbing but if you live on the modern western diet, you need to know that most of our choices are food products but not real food.
Go Back to School to win on this
I would enjoy dialog on any movies ‘youse guys’ find helpful, interesting or rubbish 4 -

I just found this challenge. I started mfp April 9th of this year. I am really hoping to lose over 100 pounds even if it takes me a few years.

Overall Goal Weight Loss: to lose 162 pounds, more than half my starting weight..
Everyday is a new day, and we have to just keep tracking....2 -
I'm 41, a woman, and a mom. In 2015 I weighed more than 350lbs, I just went under 180lbs. Here's what I have learned:
1. Motivation:. You have to be your own best motivator, while friends and family can help, it's really up to you. You are the primary reason you will succeed or fail.
2. It's not easy: weight loss isn't linear, quick, or easy. You can't spot reduce fat, you will look worse before you look better (weird, but true), you will have bad days, you will have setbacks; don't worry about it, we all have bad days. It's called being human.
3. Excess skin: it happens, while losing slowly and incorporating resistance training will help, it will still happen. Except for surgery, there isn't much one can do to truly eliminate it. Reduction is possible, but slow.
4. You will lose friends: it's sad. When people no longer want to hang out with you because you're getting "too skinny", you realize why they hung out with you in the first place.
5. You will be questioned: When you lose a substantial amount of weight, people will accuse you of having surgery or following weird crackpot diets. Even if you go into detail, many will not believe you.
6. Clothing: when everyone tells you that they have noticed you've lost a lot of weight it's time to go shopping. Ask the sales clerk for help. After wearing certain clothes for so long in order to hide your fat, knowing what suits your new body isn't easy.
7. Do NOT give up: if your goal is to lose 100lbs and you only lose 80lbs, that's still a victory.
8. Do NOT "diet": diets aren't meant to be long term, that's why they fail. Change your eating and lifestyle habits to something you will be able to maintain for the rest of your life. That's the only way to make weight loss permanent. That means eat a cookie or some ice cream if you truly want some, just in moderation.
9. Your body will change faster than your mind. It took me over a year to quit going straight to the plus size section, after dropping down into misses sizes. Every once in a while I still question seats with arms, I'm now a size 8 - yes I can fit into regular chairs, sometimes my mind still thinks I'm too big.
10. Calories: eat at a calorie deficit. That's it. There are no magic foods. Just eat fewer calories a day than you use and you will lose weight.
Hope this helps7 -
Saw this. Thought it was a great idea!

You all inspire me! I lost 123 pounds several years back and have yo-yo'd at a smaller number than I did for many years. I've still not completely figured out how to handle my negative relationship with food but I'm getting there. I have about 25 pounds to lose to really be where I want to be. I love the energy you all exude and watching your success is motivational. Anyone feel free to add me. Congratulations to those you on this journey. 5

No loss this week.
I've been sticking to my carbs and calories so it's likely just one of those things. I also incorporated a little exercise to start strengthening my knees (yay arthritis) by buying
an under desk elliptical for work and have been doing that this past week as well. Hope to report different stats next week. See you then! 5 -
