Down half a pound in two weeks... I’m pretty sure that I’ve gained some muscle during the period though, because I can see a difference in the weekly photos.
Trying to look at the bigger picture even if the scale isn’t moving more- but I’ll admit that it’s still rather frustrating. I’m sure some of you can relate to the feeling.

6/29/18 - 208.5 - Making a fresh start for Onederland after Independence Day.
7/6/18 - 209.5 - A little temporary gain from the holiday carb fest. Here we go!
7/12/18 - 210.5 - Arrggghhhh! The bad news - the scale is going the wrong way. The good news - I'm getting my workouts in - lifting numbers are going up - I'm staying under my calorie target. Next week will be better.
7/26/18 - 209 - slowly moving in the right direction. Lifting numbers still going up. Getting most of the workouts in. Logging all the food - looks like I should lower the calorie target just a bit.
8/2/18 - 209 - turns out yesterday's whoosh was just a tease. DAMMIT! Oh, well - maintenance is good. Ate Tex-Mex in a restaurant last night. I probably should be pleased with a flat line. HAHA!
8/9/18 - 207.5 - Great - some progress, finally. And I saw 206 again earlier in the week. Onward and downward!
8/16/18 - 208 - AARRGGHH! - Getting frustrated here. I keep telling myself "Maintenance is good. You're not gaining. LIfting numbers are still going up." Regardless, I'd like to see some slow weight loss - just not this slow. HAHA!
8/23/2018 - 205 - Holy whoosh, Batman! And I saw 204 earlier in the week. Finally some progress! YAY!
8/30/2018 - 204.5 - I'll take it! Not my best week, program wise. I am happy to see a small loss. Onward and downward!
9/6/2018 - 206.5 - Been skipping some workouts and walking and also eating more. No surprise that weight is up a bit after the holiday carbfest. I did see 203.5 on the scale last Sunday, so that was encouraging. Need to be more consistent on the workouts.8 -

Hi! Really rough week. Currently typing this feeling like garbage after bingeing for the past 2 days. I could list all my excuses- out of town, stress (major car trouble), visiting family with so many temptations, but I’m most upset that I didn’t just go over- but literally ate everything in site- even when I didn’t want/need it! It was like I hadn’t seen food in weeks! And now I feel physically sick and hungry at the same time. So hard to get back on track. This has been going on for 2 weeks now- really bad day then couple good ones, then a really bad. I need something to get me back on track for good! Any help is appreciated. I have been really working CICO for over 80 days and I know these binges will negate that work quickly if I keep them up for too long (I’m ashamed to even type everything in my diary, but did hoping it would help).

Logging everything is good. Try logging before you eat. I will do that sometimes. When I see the calories for some foods, it gives me the resolve I need to eat less or find a better choice.
Have you tried intermittent fasting? I've done that in the past. I would eat in an 8-hour window from 2 pm to 10 pm. That allows a couple of bigger meals and that is more satisfying for some people. It's harder to exceed your calorie limit in the time window. It also help me learn what hunger feels like - good because I know that I sometimes eat due to stress or boredom or habit.
Persistence. You will learn to manage your hunger and eating habits over time. Don't give up.

Brttny7979, first of all congrats on the weight you’ve already lost so far. When it comes to binging and feeling like you’re in a downward spiral I find it most helpful to focus on your mind game. It sounds cliché, but keeping a diary/log where you reflect on the dialog that goes on in your head before you start overeating can be helpful. An example would be: “I had a really stressful day at work, at least I can have (1500 cal)pizza” or “ I’ve already ruined my diet by binging the last couple of days, so I’m having pizza”. Afterwards you usually still feel the same [insert negative feeling] but bloated as well. Seeing this on paper helped to end my weight gaining period and I hope it can give you some inspiration.
Don’t be too hard on yourself and good luck on your journey😀4 -

9/11/2018 (weight 172.4)- I have been doing intermittent fasting since June and loving it. My problem is consistency. I tend to do really well for a week or two, then end up losing momentum. When I started in June I lost a bunch of weight and now my momentum has slowed. I find myself losing one or two pounds, here and there. My aim is to be more consistent and really evaluate why I am hitting "blocks".4 -
Hello ...
Male age 51
Height 5-9
Starting weight 270 March 2018
Current weight 205
Goal weight 165
I started the journey on keto up until about three weeks ago. Weight loss is finally starting to kick in again. I have started training for my first 5K, which I think has helped. I have tried to keep my daily calorie limit under 1,600. Before my grandmother passed away earlier this year, she was always telling me that I needed to lose weight. I like to think she is up there helping me on this journey.
I would love to hit my goal weight by the end of 2018.
Good luck to all!6 -
Hi everyone! This summer has been full of trips, not tracking my food, and loss of motivation. I started working out again a couple of weeks ago, which feels good, but I know nutrition is the key. I was so close to my ultimate goal before, so I'm hoping to get back there again!
Female - age 27
Height 5'6"
Starting weight - 197.6 - April 2017
Lowest weight - 153.8 - April 2018
Ultimate Goal Weight - 150
Goal by 12/31 - 155
Last Known Weight - 170.2 on 9/10.
I'm going to start with the goal of 1 lb per week, but I'm going to listen to my body, and if I feel deprived, I'll drop it down to .5 lbs/week. I'm hoping some of the 170 lbs is water weight from a carb-filled weekend. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all, and I hope we all reach our goals!5 -

Welcome @NYCDutchess !
1. You can check First Page for some info...
2. You can weigh once a week
3. Make whatever timing will help you the most. (I set monthly goals. Post when I lose and check off each goal as I pass it)
4. The group creator posted his exercise schedule.

Welcome @amber22vanessa !!
I haven’t tried the intermittent fasting because I do better with meals every 3 to 4 hours but I know a lot of people on MyFitnessPal have done well with it.6 -

I finally broke thru my plateau - it was the second one this year. I had one in July and then one Aug/Sept. Both were over 30 days. I'm on a new diet plan. Day 6 for me and I've lost 3 pounds since starting. Woo hoo ! Hope to keep on the downswing.6 -

I was under my calories all week and even saw 175.0 two days ago. However, I ate Mexican food last night. Not the best choice before weigh in because I retain water very badly with high sodium food, even though I was within my cals. I hope to see a drop next week.
