    Week: 4
    Weigh in day: Friday
    PW: 152
    CW: 149.6

    I feel like i feep gaining and losing the same few pounds. From 149-155. And my cycle always massively affects my bloating. It’s hard for me to tell what’s water or fat. I really need to break through to at least 148 to feel like I’m improving. I originally weighed in for this competition at 157 so it’s pretty good so far but I want to feel more confident about fat vs water loss. So that annoys me. Oh well, slow but sure.

    @Anneboleynsrevenge I'd suggest that you track it in a graphical format, like I know MFP can show you a graph over time and I tend to weigh daily so I can see it better (that's not the best way to track weight for everyone, but it's my preference) and a graph that shows you the linear curve will help, because there are fluctuations, but it's the trend that is important and that just takes time to see...be patient.

    Daily check in Jan 25

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Yes. Did 20 mins of cardio.

    A sort of NSV: I just crossed out of the morbidly obese BMI range. That’s motivating! I’ve set my next small goal for 25 lbs, that will be my next BMI range change. Can’t wait!

    Track yes
    Calories over
    Exercise no
    I’ve been lazy eating more than double what I should and not exercising. Everyday I say I’m going to fast but when morning comes I just doesn’t happen. I need to find away to stick with it. I’m starting to gain weight back instead of losing it. Not real happy with myself right now

    Daily Post: January 25th

    Track: Yes
    Calories under goal: Yes
    Exercise: No, rest day

    I need to do a better job of watching my carbs and proteins. I'm doing fine staying under my calorie goal, but sticking to my goal of staying under 90 carbs is a lot tougher. I have increased my fiber intake so the net carbs aren't too bad......but I can't let it get out of control.

    @IanMoone30 maybe not jump right into a fast day? Maybe start back into things slowly, work towards getting your calories back down first? Don’t give up you can get things straightened out again!!

    @CindyJNC1963 yes I really watch all my numbers closely. It’s really helping me stick to this. Feel like I’m in control. 😊

    Daily Post (Friday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: No
    Exercise: Yes

    I actually did well at the potluck at work and only ate a small amount of two different foods, but failed on calories when I went Mall walking. Had a milkshake that put me over 😣

    I really have to make better food decisions.

    Are you sure about fasting? I've done it and it's quite extreme... our mind throughout evolution tried to avoid it... maybe try to find easier ways to lose weight? Wishing you all the best!
