    Yes, stay on top of it. You have come too far and worked so hard. It is most definitely a lifestyle change and some experimenting.
    You are working out and tracking and posting, these are positive life choices.
    Some people stay at 1200 calories forever (Princess Kate, 5'11"). Of course that doesn't mean that we all need to, because we are all different.
    Definitely you want to nip it in the bud quickly.
    Sorry that you feel defeated today. It is so not easy! You've got this girl.

    Thank you! I’m really trying not to completely go off rails here. I tend to allow myself to get into a downward spiral when things go bad. I start to binge and make things worse so I am getting a hold of myself before this happens. I’ve made my adjustments for the new week and hopeful I can gay back to my starting weight by the end of the week. I’ve gotten so much amazing advice and support from my amazing MFP family. Thank you!

    Hello all! Happy Summer!!

    Just going to do a quick check-in....I'm not going to weigh-in today because it's the end of my TOM and I just feel like my weigh-in won't be as accurate. So, I'm going to wait until next week to step on the scale, that would give me plenty of time to feel like my self again without the added bloat/water-weight.

    See ya then!

    6/15: 183.6
    Next weigh-in: 6/27th

    @mari_moulin Deep breath! Be strong! A lot of people experience an upward fluctuation when they change their calories/WOE. Then the numbers settle again. Looks like you've got a good plan. Just hold in there! And don't be afraid to reach out to your MFP buddies for support! You are amazing and you have achieved amazing things!!

    Thank you so much. Let’s hope my plan works or at least gets be to where I was at the beginning of the month. I’m so blessed to have such a great support group here on MFP!

    Horrible weekend :( I'm trying not to beat myself up over it but it's very discouraging. I just have to keep going forward and step it up this week.


    Original starting weight -240
    June starting weight -240
    June goal - 235/232
    Ultimate goal -160

    (I'm weighing myself on Mondays and Fridays because weekends...UGH!)

    3rd - 240
    7th - 240
    10th - 238.4
    14th - 235.6
    17th - 235.9
    21st - 234.7
    24th - 237.8
    28th -
    30th -

    To those that are doing the daily weigh in - does that keep you more accountable?

    Hi Bibi - yes, for me daily weighing does keep me more accountable.

    @lalabank Love your long term planning and congrats on the amazing weightloss. However....I'm hoping that your end goal is 130 pounds, not 30 pounds. 😉I don't know your height, but I'm thinking 30 pounds is too low!! 😁

    Fluctuations are normal. Don't beat yourself up. I come into the group twice a week. I tend to get compulsive with message boards, so I limit my exposure. That's a balance that keeps me engaged and accountable. I log my weight, food, and exercise daily in MFP. That lets me watch trends and keeps me accountable to me.

    @mari_moulin - you've got this. Modifying WOE is hard. Use the data and your experience to guide you. We are with you and learning, too.

    @lalabank - love your plan. How can you miss with short, mid, and long term goals?! The project manager in me loves it!

    Original starting weight - 158.5 (12/30/2018)
    May ending weight 149.6 (May loss 2.7 lbs)
    June starting weight - 149.6
    June goal -144.6
    Ultimate goal - 135.0

    Adjusting check-in dates to use my regular Friday weigh-ins (pins) for my personal tracking. Checking in between weigh-ins helped keep me focused, will keep that up in June.

    📌 1st - 149.6 (Trend Weight 150.3)
    2nd - 149.3 (Trend Weight 150.2)
    4th - 149.8 (Trend Weight 150.1)

    ⏩ 10th - 150.4 😏

    25th - 149.8 (Trend Weight 149.4)
    📌 28th -
    📌 30th -

    Today's Thoughts: Not a bad weekend. Working on some major projects around the house. I log any house or yard work out of the ordinary as exercise, so it's bumped my exercise minutes in Fitbit way up. I continued to eat within plan. And yes, there was a weight spike.

    Not too worried. It's moving back down, and didn't alter the trend weight. This happened the last time I worked on a labor intensive project, and I read somewhere that this stresses the body and can cause a temporary fluid gain. I also have noticed that I spike just before a drop. I believe the advice was to calm the $%&@ down, so I'm trying to just ignore it and carry on.

    Not likely that I'll hit that June goal, but pretty sure I'll wrap up the month with a new low.

    June Game Plan & Goals:
    • Continue weekly meal planning
    • Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500 This is very reasonable for me
    • No calorie intake after 8pm
    • Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 - 7 day average 4976
    • Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 - 7 day average 88
    • Hit strength building exercise goal of 6 days, then increase to 7 - 7 day average 3

    Update: 183.6! Back on track!

    I just did an impromptu weigh-in and I'm back to where I left off since my TOM; I'm 183.6. Now, it's time to kick it up a notch and I hope to squeeze out another pound before July 1st.

    I've been working hard and eating well, so I feel like my body is about to whoosh! It's good to have a stall moment because it's not healthy to lose too quickly, it's to let the body "recalculate" and let nature take it's course. With that being said, I welcome another whoosh anytime! lol
