GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

I realize this looks like a mega extreme drop for one week. I've been eating 1400 and didn't do much exercise save for one long walk with my husband. Another night I ate below my calories goals due to lack of hunger (it wasn't a great night), but according to my tdee I shouldn't be losing as fast as I am. I'm not complaining at all! lol but it is interesting how a calculator can say one thing and reality be completely different.

July SW : 126.5 lbs

Ultimate GW : 118 lbs

Good loss! I hope you can sustain it without feeling hungry! I agree with you how two things can end up being so different! Mostly it just reminds me out bodies are wild and so cool.

Thank you! I was previously at lower amount and would end up overeating every couple of days. At that point I knew I needed to increase my calories other wise I'd never make progress.

@fstrickl The one thing I WILL do is SO different from the one thing I NEED to do. I NEED to track but I've fallen off that wagon. Exercise and water are all good. I just can't seem to get that going again. It's hard to hit on all cylinders all the time. So I'll commit to logging my food for a week.
Good question. Thanks for doing that!

MFP start weight Oct 28.18 - 191
June goal was 146.7 - Actual end weight 148.1
July goal 143.4 (realistically I would be happy with 147.1 since I normally only lose one pound per month)
Ultimate goal: 112-115 - Age 59, height 5'2"

Wednesday July 01 - 148.4 - Up just a titch from June EW, but really pleased to be starting the month in the 140s for the first time.
Thursday July 02 149.4 - Eh? Not sure why I would gain a pound in one day, not doing anything differently. Staying on track and hoping to see it lower tomorrow. I am never happy with fluctuations, you would think that I would be used to it by now! Very long work day, didn't get home to start making dinner until very late.
Friday July 03 - 149.2 - I am off of work today, so can get more workouts in and eat well. Another .2 off tomorrow would be great.
Saturday July 04 - 149.1 - Late dinner 2 nights in a row, I need to change that.
Sunday July 05 - 149.1 - I expected a gain because I partied yesterday - it might catch up i a few days, but I hope not!
Monday July 06 - 149.3
Tuesday July 07 - 149.1 - Happy to be staying in the 140s so far this month even if I am still one pound up from my June EW. Being at the higher end of the 140s is precarious, so I hope to get down to an area where I have a bit of a cushion if I feel like eating like a normal person for a meal or a day.
Wednesday July 08 - 149.4 - No reason for the gain, staying diligent.

Happy to have asked! I find when people ask me direct question about small goals it really helps me focus. It's much easier to think "okay, I can drink 2L of water every day this week" instead of "I need to drink 2L every day!". Great to hear your committing to logging for a week, that's a perfect weekly goal. I hope it's been going well!
