If you want to post your weights or any other numbers this is the place to do it. If you would like help with any weight loss related math this is good place to ask as well.

Today is my numbers day. I weigh daily but I only crunch my numbers once a week.
This week I have lost .02
By deficit I should have lost : 2.33
Meaning I am masking : 2.13 for this week
Total currently being masked : 3.42
My 3 week rate of loss : 1.4
My 6 week rate of loss : 1.7
It is never fun to know that I should have weighed 3.4 pounds less but is pretty common for me. What is slightly uncommon is that I really do not believe this is food related. I think this is water retention brought on by the stress of needing to lose weight for a surgery I really need. If that is the case I may not see the low weight next week that I would normally see. Time will tell.4 -
I fluctuate to much day to day. Today was my recent low 412.8, last Friday was 415..., but last Saturday was 417...
I am trending down I believe and that's what is important.8 -

You seem to really have the right attitude for this to work. If you stop logging again I am going to hunt you down and glue the app to your hand. Please consider logging your cruise. It doesn't matter if you are not trying to lose weight during that time or that most of it will be guesses it just matters you don't break the habit and you stay in the mindset.

I've been lucky so far. I started at 318.9, basically 319 lbs. As of last Sunday. As of this morning, I weigh 310. So, 9 lbs in 2 weeks. I know that will slow down, and I am doing measurements as well.6

Good going. It will slow down because some of that will have been water weight but it is still a great start.
Here is a fun fact... it is said that for every pound you lose you remove 4 pounds of pressure from your knees so you have taken 36 pounds of pressure off already. It will make life slightly easier.9 -
My knees can use all the relief they can get

Mine too.
My right one will almost assuredly need replacing. It is painful but I am trying to hold out for less weight to make recovery easier. I also kind of hope that I will lose enough to postpone it for a number of years since they say they are temporary and if you have it done too young you will have to do it again.1 -
Hi, not sure what kind of numbers to post really. So Ill just start throwing some out.
I'm 25, female, 5 foot (almost 5'1), I weigh 259 currently. Being so short, they say I should be about 110-130 lbs. yea right
My ultimate goal is to be around 150. My current goal is to get under 200. I'm only on day 2 of tracking. Day one didn't go so well. my only accomplishment was that I actually tracked all the crap I ate last night instead of ignoring it. Today is okay....I ate good stuff, but somehow I only have 150 calories for the rest of the day, and its only 1pm...4 -

This is for whatever numbers you feel like sharing. I don't want anyone to feel forced to share anything they would rather not so I called it a numbers thread instead of a "weigh in" thread but people can use it that way if they want.
About your 150 left... well that is going to happen in the early days. You may need to eat over your calorie goal today and try to do a little better tomorrow. You do not want to be miserable and hungry.
Remember not to allow perfection to get in the way of good enough. You can lose some weight eating above your goal it just won't be the exact number you might want to lose. Be kind to yourself and don't push yourself too hard. Allow yourself time to adjust.6 -
Heya, just found this group, so instead of jumping into this week's numbers or something like that, I figured I could just describe my progress so far.
I'm 39, 5'8, and started trying to lose weight on 1/1/2019 at 386.6 lbs. I've lost about 68 lbs so far, and I've got another 120 or so to go before I'm done.
1/1: 386.6
2/1: 368.8
3/1: 360.6
4/1: 348.9
5/1: 341.0
6/1: 332.6
7/1: 322.9
7/19: 318.48 -

Your average rate of loss has been 2.39 pounds per week. That is excellent. It is slightly aggressive without going at a punishing pace.2 -
Thanks! I'm trying to make sure the changes I'm making are sustainable. I lost 100 lbs 10 years ago, but wound up gaining it back and then some. I don't want that to happen again.3

In the other thread you mentioned eating 1800 calories per day. At your 1.99 rate of loss since June 1 that would put your TDEE/maintenance right around 2800 calories (average) per day currently.
Sorry. I like weight loss math.
That all seems quite sustainable and especially so considering you have done it for 7 months.

No need to apologize! I'm all about collecting data and use it to help keep myself motivated. 2

Great Job, INSPIRATIONAL, hopefully I can do what you have been able to do2 -

Thanks! If I can do it, you can. Just take it a day at a time, and don't let things discourage you. If you hit a bump, don't let it knock you off track... just keep going. Any downward trend over time is great.

Thank you guys for the encouragement, every little bit helps.2

I am going out tomorrow and buying one of those sewing tape measure thingys to start measuring myself. I believe that size matters more than the scale, I need to practice that a little better. Like counting calories or logging food, you dont know until you measure it.2
-
Update, I bought a tape measure and it was to small for my biggest around the belly measurement. Talk about feeling *kitten* lol, I stayed strong and in my diet. Got to measure a few other body parts to get a "baseline". Also, I matched my recent low weight today, hopefully tomorrow will bring a new recent record low.3

Hi all,
I’m 21 years old, 328lb, 6’4.
Hoping to get to around 200lb. I’ve tried dieting a few times and haven’t really gotten anywhere so any tips or advice would be appreciated4 -
46 and 235 pounds. Looking to lose 80. Third day on MFP and actually did a little yoga yesterday but had two glasses of wine so no change on the scale. That is fine though because it is about a new normal not deprivation.4

Been loosing weight for 45 days and down 35LBS. Thats .8 LBS a day. Not bad.1

Hello friends! I'm pleased to report that after about 2 weeks of logging meals, trying to stick with my calorie budget, and trying to get some walking done at my breaks at work I am down about 6 pounds! I haven't seen my weight start with a 2 in about a year so I'm hoping to get to see that next week.
I began this journey thinking I'd weigh myself every month - but I couldn't wait and did it after like 17 days. Maybe every week is okay. 7 -
I'm 37, just under 5'8" and 243.6 lbs as of this morning. I started at 263 (BMI: 40) around mid May, so I'm down 19.4 lbs so far. my current goal is 180, which is still classified as "overweight," but it's also the lowest I've ever been as an adult and probably even during high school. ultimately 160 ish would be a nice place to end up.I don't actually know what that would even be like, so I'll need to reassess.
it's weird feeling like I'm in weight loss limbo. I know I feel better, and my body is cleverly rearranging fat stores, but no change really in inches. ah well! I'm doing pics/measurements at the start of each month to help visualize changes.1 -
@amkita You might be finding that you're losing inches in places you wouldn't think to measure! I am a numbers person. I looooove hard, concrete data. So I started taking measurements in all sorts of places: neck, upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, fingers, upper thigh, middle, etc. I noticed that I lost inches off my scalp. Would I normally care about that? Not at all, but there's no longer a cushion beneath my hair and I had to have my glasses resized. I also lost inches around my neck (also not a place I was focused on), and all while I lost no inches in the "normal" areas: hips, belly, bust, etc.
So you'd be surprised where you might actually lose small increments! (Like fingers! I lost in my fingers first. I was like "no body, I don't need a noodle neck right now or smaller fingers. I need a smaller waistline!"). But the body does as the body will do!
I probably go overboard, but after that realization, I just take measurements everywhere. I do it once a month on the last Saturday/Sunday morning of the month when it's nice and quiet at home.2 -

Sometime in the last 10 pounds my body decided it wanted to drain my face again... kind of annoying since my belly has a lot and my face has little but there is no way to control it. I am starting to see why people complain about their friends and family saying they are losing too much. If you looked at me from the shoulders up I kind of look too thin (to me) right now. From the shoulders down though no one would accuse me of wasting away lol.
The point is that it is not always easy to capture. Like many others I have even lost weight in my feet which I would have never caught except my shoes are looser fitting now. I am sure there is some genetic roadmap for weight loss but it seems weird and random like my brain is blindfolded throwing a dart at a picture of my body to determine where the fat will come from next.0 -
@dhiammarath yeah, that's definitely part of it. I've had to use different loops on my fitbit, and my rings are getting loose, but I don't measure wrists and fingers.
seriously though? fingers first?! it's pretty amusing.
how does one measure their scalp?0 -

How easily it fits through the banisters of a staircase I think.
