    @lalabank and @dawnbgethealthy, I think maybe what Fiona means is that she has 138 lbs to lose. Her immediate goal is to lose 8 lbs equaling 130 lbs to lose. Her ultimate goal weight is (75kg) 165lbs. She's converting for us to understand and mixed it up. It can get confusing. I saw her post yesterday and had to read it 3 times to understand what she was trying to convey.

    I'm doing the Michael Mosely 8 week blood sugar way of eating... And it's day 4 and going ok 😀

    Hi Fiona
    Are you weighing in pounds or some other measure?
    If it is pounds, then 75 was either a typo, or really scary.
    We care.

    Love it if it was pounds😀😀 but no... Kgs ... And at the mo I'm not too healthy.. 75 kgs is in the healthy range 😀😀

    Bahaha
    Lol you got us all scared! Welcome, I’ve done this challenge for a couple of months and it’s really helped me stay on track. It’s been mentioned before but there is just something about struggling together that helps.
    You got this!

    When you log do you use the moving scale weight (I use the app Happy Scale) or the day’s actual one on the scale? I used the one on the scale originally when I started the challenge, but depending on the day it could be more than a pound more than the moving weight, so was curious what others did.

    I use the weight on the scale. Honestly, because it usually the lower one lol.

    I have started reporting my scale weight for the day AND a ten-day rolling average.

    Hmmm. Not sure if Ww free points is working for me. It is good in that it strongly discourages much sugar consumption. The free points (beans, chicken, fish, corn, non-fat yogurt, tofu, fruit and veggies) seems to be too much for my metabolism. It worked for me way back when it was 0 for just fruit and veggies. My metabolism was already quite slow. This runs in my family. The past year or two, with age, my metabolism has really further slowed down too. I used to lose really easily with a few days of sports and tracking I always dropped pretty quickly. This is not the case at present. For about 20 years I didn't have so much trouble losing if I put my mind to it. Now it is really challenging in many ways. Glad to be eating less sugar though.

    I hadn't heard that about weight watchers. Beans and corn have loads of calories, and yoghurt (even fat free which has lots of sugar) has quite a lot of calories. I guess as you are tracking on MFP you will see your total calorie consumption for the day.
    I hear you on how hard it is to lose! Purportedly exercise raises the metabolism, but it seems that no matter what it is a struggle just to lose even 1/2 pound.
    Seeing that you are sitting around 128 pounds (I am way more than that) it might be more difficult to lose those last few pounds. Experimentation.
