Weight loss has slowed significantly. 9 pounds to go and I would be ecstatic if that could happen by the end of the year. Still ... keep chipping away, one day at a time!

Going away for a week at the end of the month and really want to see some progress by then. Been jo-jo-ing since August so want to break that trend too. Also, last time I went home I went on a total holiday binge and gained about 4 lbs. So these next couple of weeks I want to get solid with my diet so that I'm feeling confident that I can stick with it whilst away. That's the plan anyway.
Question: What's everyone's Achilles Heal when it comes to staying on track?
Mine is a tendency to overeat way passed fullness in the evenings when tired and/or watching TV.1 -
Happy Tuesday. I am back after a year of stress, poor choices and finding out I have a heart condition.
Over 3 years I lost 50 lbs... I have gained about 10-12 of those back and I AM GOING to lose them again.
Today was the start of week 3 of ORANGE THEORY. LOVE THE PROGRAM. Try to start it over 2 months ago and the program is how I found out I have a heart condition. I am approved to workout by doctor (BUT NOT RUNNING) and starting BETA blockers in about 2 weeks.
My goal is to be back to 128 by March and feel lean and strong again.
Been going to orange theory 3 days a week and will stay with that through week 4. Then up it to 4 days a week. Right now trying to tackle food with is an issue for a few reason.

Currently on crutches due to breaking my foot, so my short-term goal is not to gain weight as long as I can't move properly and maybe even get a bit fitter as I am allowed to go swimming:)
My Achilles Heal is the same as yours!! Eating mindlessly in front of the TV and going waaay over calories. Reduced the frequency of this "happening" to once a week, but want to cut it out entirely because it ruins my deficit^^

I was 116 at the beginning of the year. Pretty healthy diet and moderate high intense exercise. I changed my diet to feed my sore muscles. I got some weight (125). I took a "break" in the middle of the year with low exercise and eating a little more treats. Got back on track with exercise and still eating healthy but I got in the scale and Im 130. I want to lose fat and gain lean muscle so... let's sew how it goes.

The 3lb loss is really more like one and a half pounds. The 154 on November 2nd reflects one of those mysterious one and a half pound overnight gains

I have recently joined a kickboxing Bodyshaping program, and that has really helped with weight loss for me. They also have nutritional support, so I have been sticking to eating healthy for 5 weeks now. At the beginning of the 5 weeks I weighed 149 and had 26.3 percent body fat. At the 5 week weigh-in I was 140 pounds and had 23 percent body fat! I also lost 8.75 inches overall! I am supposed to stay off the scales for another 5 weeks, so we will see where I am at after the 10 week session is fully over!4

The first 5.5 pounds came off fairly easily with Keto. Still on keto, but starting to crave dense belly filling food - (that might have something to do with being pre-mentrual.) I didn't lose anything with last weigh in,, I weigh in once a week. I hope that I've not reached a plateau. Working more with weights and thinking about lengthening my power walk time.1 -

I'm just starting (again), if I can lose even half a pound a week I'd be happy as that's progress, though ideally I'd like that to be more 1lb a week. I'm dropping this idea of doing intermittent fasting for now, clearly when I have done that I've overeaten on the off days, so we'll go with daily CICO and hopefully get my appetite in check. Also going to try and pair this with Mon/Wed/Fri morning gym trips.
I weight daily and put this into Libra Scale for a trend weight, I'll use that for my entries here.1 -

Trying to keep it going! I was really, really good through late October and early November, but I got a really bad spell of anxiety and panic attacks this weekend, paired with plans to eat out and visit fun restaurants (curse you, fresh crepes....) so I'm pretty sure I've gained at least a pound or two over the weekend. Here's to keeping healthy! :^)3 -

Managed to get down to 149, but shot up when I got my new job. I've been working hard at going to the gym (not hard workouts because I'm out of shape, working my way into the workout world). I really want to be back to 149 by Christmas time and to 130 by my wedding in May. I've been working on getting the gained weight off since mid-October (began working out at that time as well).
Any tips on getting past a weight loss plateau -- PLEASE let me know! I hate working so hard with no results.1 -

Considering that I am still mostly bedridden due to my foot, I am actually quite glad I lost a pound. However, I am a little concerned it it mostly muscle mass

Have you worked out a new TDEE since losing weight? 30lbs is a lot to lose (congratulations!) and the calories you need to stay below may have decreased with your smaller size (or even increased with exercise and possible muscle gain). Other things I've seen repeated online are making sure you're accurately measuring your food, and that you're taking even small things into account that seem like they wouldn't be worth much.
Another is that taking a break from cutting down can help after you've lost a lot, as it brings your body out of that 'starvation mode' that means you just start burning less (I am still undecided on if I believe this is a thing, some people say it's a myth others I've seen say taking a break then getting back to cutting down helped get over a plateau).
Disclaimer: I have yet to get to anything like this stage myself, just repeating other advice I've seen online!2 -
@gdesousa_93, forgive me -- what is TDEE?
Also, I've been trying to eat more in order to reach my daily calorie goals lately. I usually don't eat that much because I'm busy and feel full fairly quickly. I've read on several sites that undereating can actually make it difficult to lose weight, because the body stores what it gets as fat. So I'm trying to be more conscious of how much I'm eating. The calories in v calories out concept is a little confusing to me and makes me scared to eat too much, but I'm just trying to do my best to eat what the app tells me I can eat and get enough exercise to get my heart rate going for a while.2 -
Realise that I'm late to the party but I need to get some accountability as my weight keeps creeping up.

@aeshippers sorry! It's your Total Daily Energy Expenditure - eating under this normally allows weight loss, as you're burning more than you're eating so your body needs to use up some of the fat stored in your body. Go to tdeecalculator.net, you can work it out quickly there, but tbh if you have been updating your weight on MFP you might have noticed your calorie goal decreasing, which reflects that!0

Missed a couple months of challenges and the scale shows it.... Keep trying to get back in it, but I need some accountability.

Spike up in weight that, technically, doesn't add up....meh, sometimes the scale is so annoying!

I’ve regained 8 to 9 lbs over the last few months. I was back down to 114 lbs a week or two ago, but I’ve been eating junk and my family has been eating out a lot. I also normally prep my food for work, but I had visitors come in from another company this week so I ate in the company cafeteria with them.
When I eat more of a plant based lifestyle, the weight stays down. When I add in a lot of fatty and processed foods, it shoots up. I know Thanksgiving will be a challenge this next week so I’m looking to gain some motivation. Feel free to add me as a friend. I’m hoping everyone meets their goals this month. 👏🎉💐

So I think I was right about my cycle, my weight this week had been consistently lower, but because I'm using a trend weight the one I'm recording here is still a bit higher than I have seen (lowest this week was 157.2), but it's steadily dropping!
Had a good week food wise, even swapped a Friday treat that I 'saved' for for a healthier but equally satisfying alternative. Already hit the gym this morning and hoping to continue the good habits! Knowing I had to log here this morning honestly really helped.2 -

To be expected since I stuffed my face one too many times the past week. But I also started strength training so maybe some of the weight gain is water weight. Hoping I can back on track this week.0
