4/15 - 145.1. UGH. Wrong direction. I was down to 143.7 earlier in the week, but the weekend did me in. Went to a party with great food and open bar Saturday night, yesterday out for brunch and my daughter baked a cake. I was hoping not to go overboard since Easter is this weekend and I know there will be so much food at my in-laws. Will do my best to stay on track this week and watch portions at Easter.0 -
Ha! My body loves 118! I am not worried. This has happened all the way down from 133. I will lose two pounds, then sit at one weight for almost a month, then drop again. And, truthfully, the last two pounds are my "insurance policy," as I really am at exactly the weight I want to be right now! It is so fun to be able to wear anything in my closet and know it looks good. I also don't really think I am on a "diet" anymore. I have settled into a very comfortable way of eating with some new habits. Best wishes to all of you and keep eating your veggies! LOL

Aunt Flo is coming to town and I am bloated for a week when that happens. Super frustrating, but I know I couldn't have gained four pounds overnight, so I'll just wait and see what my weight is next week. We have our last night class tonight, so I'm hoping that will make my routine more stable.0 -

I've had a lot of days like that lately, too. It doesn't help that my husband just seems to stay small no matter what he eats, so there's loads of beer, pizza, whatever in the house. Hang in there!0 -

The other day I weighed 138.8! I was like WTF!!! But then I weighed this morning and was pleasantly surprised. I need to reduce my salt intake because I'm getting bloated.

I feel ya! My husband sometimes brings Dr.Pepper and other junk home. It is difficult to stick to eating healthier when junk is coming into the house. Every now and then I'll eat sweets but this guy eats this junk nearly everyday. It looks like I might be rubbing off on him a little because he is starting to decrease his soda intake. I have lost 22 lbs so far by exercising and eating healthier and I hope that I'm motivating him to get in shape as well. When I quit soda I instantly lost weight without exercising. Just by dropping soda alone I had more energy. At first I was angry because I didn't have all of that sugar but it gets easier over time
92 days without soda now! I still crave it like a vampire HAHA but I resist. 2 -
Brand new and looking for accountability. I tend to throw in the towel for a few days instead of a meal or two when I make a bad eating choice. Hoping to be at 154 lbs by May long weekend (May 17) as will be in Vegas and need the breathing room
I'm a little confused about MFP's idea of what my daily calories burned should be. I know what I burn (Apple watch and OTF heart tracker tells me) and MFP seems to assume I burn a lot lower than I do. Any feedback for me on this? Thanks!

I neglected checking in on Monday. I guess I was not very excited since there was no losses to report. (((Sigh!))) Oh well! It is not due to me eating junk. I did have a few glasses of wine on Friday night, but that has been my only splurge. And truly, I can not complain, as I generally shed weight painfully slow, so 4 pounds down in 4 weeks is MAJOR progress for my body.

argh! i feel you! the same, my husband seems to lose weight just by eating anything he likes and even if he is supporting he still has to eat so he cooks for himself these delicious fatty dinners
while Im eating my salad haha. 0 -
Oh my! I just ordered new shorts because the size six were falling off me but... size four is too big. I've not been taking measurements, so this is kind of a surprise. Glad I get free returns!3

I started looking at the macros. I thought I was eating low carb but NO! When looking at my log, I was eating way more carbs than I thought. Now focusing more on protein.0 -
I'm stuck in a rut. I'm down to the last 15 pounds and my weight keeps playing with me. I lose a few, then they come back. I know that it's normal for weight to fluctuate within a few pounds anyway, so it's just frustrating. I'm trying to get back on track to exercise more often and eat healthier... definitely interested in losing 10 before summer. Then I only have 5 more pounds to go to hit my goal! Anyone else "skinnyfat"? I'm 5'1" (a shortie) and weight 120. I'd like to get down to the low end of the BMI, more around 105, which is where I USED to be... when I had more energy and felt better, before I started working a more sedentary full time job and became less active. I need some sort of added push to motivate me to be more active and tone up!1

Ah this seems like the perfect group for me! I just need to check in with some people. I’m a strong lifter and a decent runner but have gotten very lazy with my diet over the past year and now weigh 174 (!). I feel and look my best at around 155. I can usually lose about 6-8 lbs in two weeks just by cutting carbs (water weight). After that I just have to put in some hard work. This seems like so much weight to me! But when you all lay it out like this it seems manageable. I like to log on Friday’s so I can stay motivated to eat well at lunch during the work week. I’m probably one of the rare people who eats way better on weekends! It’s because I’m home and don’t have as much opportunity to go out (three little kids 🙄).

And scottishlass- I have no idea how many calories I should be eating. MFP says 1200 (?!) and my Garmin says I burn about 2500. I think 1800 calories feels “good” to me- not starving but not full so I suspect that MFP is way low for me. But then again I haven’t tracked meticulously in quite a while.0 -

Hey couchnest, you know what you need to do... be more active!! Do something, anything to jumpstart yourself. Take walks at lunch. Ride a bike to work if that's feasible. Join a gym a few times a week and at least make yourself do 20 minutes on a stationary bike or something. Lack of exercise will make anyone feel like crap. Force yourself to do some kind of regular activity for a few weeks and you'll become addicted to *not* feeling like crap.

4/22 - 145.7. Not happy! Was sick last week so less movement and ate way too much. Let's hope that next week I have a better update.1 -
Hello! After sitting FOREVER at 118, I am moving on down! This has been the pattern all the way down: I sit at one weight for three weeks then skip and pound on the way down.
I am living almost entirely on beans and vegetables and the occasional fruit and loving it! It has been interesting as I cut out things I used to think I had to have. I had to have pasta or rice under my vegetables (why?) Last week I cut out bread. I thought that would be a big deal but I don't miss it. I have added a few starchier veggies (potato and sweet potato) to compensate and am eating a LOT of beans. My husband just ordered a 50-pound bag. (You read that right: 50 pounds! LOL) But, seriously, how can you go wrong with beans? My current favorites are lentils --always-- and something we get here in the Southwest US called Anasazi beans which have been cultivated for literally thousands of years. Very low gas, easy to digest, they look like a spotted pinto bean. (Am I getting boring?)
Anyway, I hope you are all finding fun changes to your diet that are tasty and sustainable. I think it's really refreshing to question assumptions and make positive changes!

I am so excited to find a group devoted to people who are trying to scrape off the last few lbs. of fat! I have had a really hard time finding support - once I look “good enough” the support drops away. I know I am late to the game, but I would love to be part of the 10 lbs. challenge!
I am 5’2” and currently 136.6 lbs as of Friday (155 at my heaviest). According to all the “healthy” weight to height charts, I should be somewhere in the 98-135 range. I would love to be in the middle (about 125) instead of toward the top of that range for once! I always get to about 130 and completely lose motivation because I feel good about how I look, and people stop supporting my weight loss. They say things like: “Oh my god, you can eat another freaking slice of cake – you are so tiny already!” But I know I would look and feel even better at 125.
These pics are from last weekend; they are a little blurry, but I think they give an idea of where I am at.

I'm still dealing with bloating. Part of it is because I consumed some Easter carbs this past weekend, but part of it is because I'm still on my period. I'm trying not to be discouraged, but it's tough. I really want to be close to 140 by mid June and not seeing progress when I track all week is discouraging.2 -
@MeadowRae
If you're keeping under your calories, just hang in there! I finally learned this is normal for my body. I'll go three weeks at the same weight then drop almost two pounds overnight. That's just the way I work. It might be true for you as well. Stick to it!not seeing progress when I track all week is discouraging2 -
Sorry to say I went the WRONG direction this week...but I am not surprised because I allowed myself to go way off my low carb/keto plan for the weekend. Now to flex my self-control muscle and get back to doing the hard work to achieve my goals!
