Happy to see that I'm staying on track at about 1 pound per week. A little less than 3 weeks until I leave for vacation.0 -
3/26 - 148.8
4/1 - 145.9
4/8 - 144.0 Shocked at this drop. Fully expecting a slow down this week.
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.
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.

@guitargirl55 Yeah, most of the posts here are not really intended for folks working towards ideal weight. I see some of the recipes and go, "Really?" Welcome!2

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!

I lost a little bit. I am surprised that I lost some because I was heavily snacking for a couple of days due to stress
Yesterday I decided to shape up and get back on track. I did VERY well 
Hopefully I can continue this and learn how to cope with stress in a healthy way.

Hope you’re doing better and finding some peace. Hopefully things turn around so you can get back on track emotionally and physically. 💕_vicky2291 wrote: »I've gained 9lbs in a week and at a new highest weight...

My original goal was to drop from 152 to 142 by June 2nd. I’m currently at 147 with 6 weeks left to go, but I’m at a point where I’m slowing my weight loss to make sure I have energy for my training, so I’ll probably take a little longer than I had hoped. That’s alright though, eventually I will see that number on the scale. And eventually I’ll see the 130s too. Trying to think a bit longer term for the moment.2

Haven't been very strict lately and am almost always over my calorie goal... especially since I was off work last week so didn't have a good routine. But I think just logging and being mindful is helping, because before this I was probably eating 2,500 - 3,000 calories per day ... I do still breastfeed so probably need a bit more calories than MFP thinks I do... trying to be back on the wagon and more strict with my diet this week!

Losing while breastfeeding is tough! I always had hunger pains in the morning because my son nursed a lot in the evening. Bulletproof coffee helped me with morning cravings, but everyone is different.0 -
I know it's not weigh-in time, but I am down to 151 as of this morning! That's six pounds of bloating that went away, but it's also lower than I've been logging for the past few months. I'll take it.7
