I'm weighing in today rather than tomorrow becuase I was actually down on the scales today and it was the hardest little bit of weight loss I think I have ever lost! So hard, no drinking alcohol and being on lockdown where you can't even go anywhere to distract myself from the boredom and not being able to get to the gym! has been so tough but fair play to all of you people out there on this thread because it sure as hell ain't easy when no gyms are open.

You are doing great! If I was not doing MFP, I would have probably gained more weight. I gained 4 lbs the first month of quarantine. The fact that you are losing weight is an accomplishment. This is a very difficult time and I usually eat more when I am stressed. I am glad you postedit. Keep up the good work! We are here for each other!😊1 -

I should’ve said..
I used to be rather fit. Knee injuries have meant that I’m now rather fat. I started on Friday night at 15stone 12lbs. Target by end of June is therefore 14 stone 11lbs.
I’ve done low carb, keto and standard calorie restriction diets before. They all worked but I always failed at the “right you’ve reached your spot, now plan to transition to steady state and hold here” part.
This time I’m keeping calories low, no booze and “earning the carbs”. That way I don’t need to back off my cycling. Will also be doing 13 to 16 hour fasts where I can.
That’s the theory anyway. Gin can always mess things up if I let it. 😳1 -
Happy Sunday everyone!
I got back on track yesterday after overeating on Friday. I’ve been having a few stressful and sad days. I am glad that we have this group! I have 6 lbs to go for my first Weight goal. I know it won’t be easy but I can do it!😊💪3 -

I hear you on the fit to fat thanks to knees. I had surgery in January following one too many tennis injuries and a fall. Thankfully I don’t like gin. Vodka on the other hand. .. Stick with this group. You can do it. And we’ve got your back.0 -
Hi Everyone, I haven’t lost any weight this week, but I haven’t really exercised much. I have noticed being back at work I’ve been struggling to eat enough calories some days I’ve gotta find a good balance which will probably take a couple weeks and that’s fine by me.1
-
It’s been a week and I haven’t lost any weight even at 1100-1200 calories/day (when I used to probably eat at least 1500). My pants have fit more loosely I think, but I’m still quite unsure why I haven’t lost any weight. I think it’s due to water weight (I have been eating a decent amount of salt per day), but I also drink a lot of water (at least 64 oz). I am not nearly as active as I used to be at school because of quarantine in terms of steps, but I still exercise every day with 30 min of HIIT and some core/strength training.
Is there anything I should adjust to help the scale move? I just wanted a rapid initial weight loss so I could begin maintaining. I don’t want to only eat 1200 calories for too many months, but am willing to put in some effort and work of course since it is the beginning. What should I do? I know it has only been a week, but I feel like not losing even 0.1 pounds is concerning. I don’t log 100% accurately but I leave an error margin of 100 calories and do not eat any of my exercise calories.
Thank you!

You can do this, just give it a little time. There could be many reasons you did not see a big drop the first week.
My piece of advice is to track 100% ... every bite, every sip, every condiment. You might be surprised at how many calories you are missing.
My other thought is you could be building muscle at the same time as losing fat. The scale is not the only metric for weight loss. Keep track of your measurements and inches lost.0 -

Great job getting right back on track. You will hit that first goal before you know it!0 -
Will log my weight tomorrow as I've always been 1 day behind on that haha.
Overate a bit yesterday- I spent the whole weekend painting and I am not sure why, but I had a bit of a binge last night.
Focusing on water today and calorie limit. The day is mostly pre planned out- still have about ~300 cals so thinking maybe some fresh fruit as an afternoon snack.
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend

I was doing well until that TOM showed up. This stupid thing is like a 2 week ordeal for me. I start gaining weight like 10 or so days before it starts and by day 3 or 4 of it actually starting i finally shed it. I hate it. But I'm getting back to it!2 -
@Leezy55 - You are on fire! Keep it going.
@Making_Impossible_Possible - Weight loss is linear. You are lucky to know your body that well. Use that knowledge to not get discouraged. Watch your overall trend and don’t stress over the day to day or week to week numbers. Have you analyzed your intake during this time? Maybe you are craving and eating more salty foods which is causing you to retain water. Pay attention and drink even more water 💦1 -

I'm not shocked the scale didn't move since it's that TOM but I have other little victories I'm excited to share! Since I've joined the group I've been working out six days per week and some walking. Most days I get between 3k-6k steps and others I'm more dedicated in getting 10k steps. Anyways I've noticed in increase in my energy and my physical appearance is shrinking. I thought I was trippin but my fiance noticed it too! Usually when I lose weight the first place to go is my waist-no complaints! I did do starting measurements and pictures also but I don't want to take any after pictures until the end of June.
Keep up the great work everyone!2 -
@azkunk - I tend to want to eat all the things when it's that TOM, and as much as I say I'm not going to give into cravings, I usually do. It's something I'm working on. As for the water, I'm drinking 96oz a day. I could maybe get in another 16oz or so to get to half my body weight but I don't want to over do it on the water.
A few more days and I think I'll be back close to where I was (my birthday was Saturday, so I kinda went overboard). I'm going to walk on the treadmill tonight and get back to it in the morning. And I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best! I'll start going down again, its just a matter of when.
Thank you!1 -
