I don't understand how I could have lost that much in a little over a week, but I am using the same scale at the same time of day, and that's what it says. Can it be "water weight," partly? I thought that was only at the beginning, though, and I've been losing for a few months now. Can tracking my calories have made that much of a difference? I'm a little boggled by this.
I step on the scale AT LEAST 3 times before settling for a number. Sometimes I'll get all the same numbers, sometimes I'll get three different ones, and If thats the case, I settle for the most reasonable one, not the one with the most weight lost. Try weighing yourself again tomorrow, and if there's a huge change between today's and tomorrow's, it may be best to invest in a new scale.
On another note, hello again! Back for the new year to finish losing the last 40 pounds of my 100 pound journey I set out to lose for 2018. December got away from me, but I'm focused and ready to kick some *kitten* this year. Plus I'm going on vacation in March to motivate me to stick to it lol
@justkris_gettingfit I wrote you in the December thread and sent you a PM...I need a starting weight and weigh in day in order to get you back on the spreadsheet. Thanks!0 -
Hi everyone. Thanks for letting me join. I have have been up and down with my weight for the last 6 years, before that I had it under control and enjoyed going to the gym to exercise (some cardio and weights) and did very well with tracking my calories.
Looking back, I was the most successful when I tracked my food the MFP and chose what I was eating myself. I would have a slice of pizza - with a side of veggies or salad. It wasn’t eating 3 pieces or trying not to ever eat pizza again - too extreme both ways.
I have done a few good natural detoxes (cutting sugar and bread and eating lots of veggies and protein etc) which do make me feel better, but I can’t sustain a really restrictive diet for long.
I’m a little under the weather right now, but I know I can choose better foods which I’m sure will help clear up this cough/cold. I’m trying to regain my spark, force it if I have too. My goal is to loose 20 pounds by May 31st and consistently exercise where it’s just part of my routine.
I wish everyone great success in all of your goals!! We can do this 😊7 -

Here is my first daily post (hope I do this right, let me know if I didn’t!!)
Track: Yes - every day since Dec 26 📝
Calories: Yes (do you want my total weekly total # here? I’ve been tracking since Dec 26 and have been under each day so far)
Exercise: Yes - every day. Walked in the snow yesterday with 🐶 - brrrr! Haven’t done that in a while!!! CrossFit x3 days, walking 30 minutes on non gym days. I’ve decided not to have mfp credit me calories for my fitness. That made a big difference for watching my food closer - and will make a bigger defecit for calories. I do have a Fitbit if anyone wants to do Fitbit challenges 🚶♀️
Goals or Day: planning to do meal prepping today to have 3-5 days worth of dinners done ✅ also today is a gym day 🏋️♀️
Your weekly weigh in is Wednesday - so no scale today 🎉
** Think of the “After Selfie” !! **
@stongersue for the daily posts, you just have to put in if you were under or over calories for the day
Great food and exercise plans!!!1 -

@RoseyandReady I also don't do a restrictive diet, just staying within calories of what I like. I find if I cut something out, I can't think of anything else and end up giving up on everything. Some people do great with it, but you have to do what works best for you.
Hope your cold is feeling better 1 -
