Hello! I would love to join you all! I have been a yo-yo dieter for a long time, up and down and I am ready to lose this same 40 pounds and another 25 to my goal weight. I’m in another group too, and with such great support I know we can do it. I had knee surgery in January after a tennis injury and know being lighter on my feet is going to help me all around.
Highest weight: 264
Current weight: 244.4

Today is the kind of day that is frustrating but I am moving forward, determined. Yesterday I put in 50 minutes of good cardio on my bike and in the garden. Ate well and under my calorie count but all good foods, no white flour or sugar. Cut out alcohol. Walked. Drank water. Thought good thoughts. And my weight stayed the same. I know sometimes it takes a while for things to get moving. But I am so ready and eager for the sale to reverse direction. I guess it is just a test of my strength and resolve, and patience. ... Here is a question. I have been using CBD oil for pain following surgery. Does anyone know if that can have an effect on weight one way or the other?2

Hi everyone. I hope you had a good week. I finished my first official full week back on MFP and so far so good. I am starting to also do intermittent fasting with 16 hours of fasting and an 8-hour window for my meals. I haven't felt too hungry, luckily. My husband swears by intermittent fasting, so fingers crossed. My goal for the week is to do yoga every day. I found a 30-day yoga challenge on youtube I enjoy. Good luck everyone!
200 First Goal
150 GW
04/22/20 - 238.0 lbs
05/02/20 - 233.2 lbs
Total weight loss: 4.8 lbs
Great progress!! 👍2 -

CW: will weigh in on Fridays

Total weight lost:
My personal challenge this week will be to log everything and stay within calorie limit.
Welcome! We can do this together!1 -

I have to make a revision. To what I wrote before since I made a small error. Let me explain the below this one time. I restarted MFP in Oct 2019 at my heaviest but didn't stick to it. I finally found the forums and started this group on 4/26/20 at a weight of 148.2 lbs. So between Oct to Apr I didn't gain more weight but wasn't doing what I needed to do. So overall I have lost 5 lbs but only my 2.6 loss this week has been intentional. Just didn't want anyone to think I lost 5 lbs in one week.
SW 150.6 lbs 10/9/19
CW 145.6 lbs 5/3/20
Mini goal 140 lbs
Ultimate goal 120 lbs
This was a good week for me! Not the best but I did manage to stay under calories which shows in my weigh in. So proud to lose 2.6 lbs this week! I'm very proud of myself and want to say thanks to the group. Checking in def played a role. Thanks everyone! Keep going for your goals!
Awesome job!1 -

I’m not sure about the CBD oil, but I worked out hard this week and did everything right and went up also! I think we just have to stick to it. I am hoping I go down this week or I will have to change something else up.
Keep on keeping on!1 -

Do you weigh in daily or only weekly? I see the pros and cons to each. If daily, you can see things on a more micro level and make adjustments. But weight fluctuates for other reasons and an increase when you know you rocked is demotivating.
On the other hand, if you weigh weekly that higher number loss seems so much more inspiring. The downside would be if you gain over the week, you’ve missed those opportunities to take accountability and make adjustments.
I think I find daily weigh-ins most motivating to me. I like the accountability. Which do you prefer and why?0 -

I prefer weighing daily for just those reasons that if I see progress it will help with motivation to keep going, and the same with gaining. I had hypnosis several years ago where you weren’t allowed to get on a scale or know your weight but just went with how your body and clothes felt. It was interesting. I’m not honestly sure which is more effective.1 -
Hi everyone! Day one of my workout, woohoo! I did modified but I did it.5

I weigh myself daily to keep on track, but I only post and update here weekly.3 -
Feeling a little discouraged today- I gained back 45 pounds of an 85 pound weight loss . I’m starting to eat more like I did back on the programme I did but I’m feeling bloated n blah today- like it will take forever to come back off. I only weigh once a week coz it messes with my head! I walk about 4 miles a day on average- in AM.0

Don't let it get to you. Today is today but tomorrow is new. So acknowledge today but tomorrow you may feel different and you'll have the chance to switch it up! I hope you feel renewed tomorrow!1
