I only need to weigh myself about 2x a month since I only run a calorie deficit of 300-500 a day. What is most important to me is the % of that weight being mostly FAT and not muscle and not winding up with saggy skin.
This month I plan to increase protein to 20g, 4x times a day and do weight bearing exercise at least 4 times a week. I seem to drop weight well when I follow an anti-inflammatory diet (no red meat, no dairy, no sugar, no gluten, no fried) replaced with high nutrient antioxidant foods and measure everything so will continue this.6 -

I’ve been having digestive issues for as long as I can remember, and I was finally able to see my doctor about it. Because of this, I’m now following a low FODMAP diet. Would appreciate any tips of suggestions from anyone going through this as well!6 -

Notes:
Aug 8: I think the scale is off by 2lbs, so I believe I'm likely in the 154-155 range. The past week I've been feeling decent energy and less feelings of boredom/anxiety hunger. Still trying to level out how much to eat back calories when I'm exercising more; I think I am undereating on those days. Tbh my new challenge in this weight loss journey is dealing with the loose skin, and how I feel about it changes day to day.
Aug 1: My final weigh-in yesterday for the July 2020 Weight Loss Challenge was 155 (the day before that was 158.5)... so yeah, my scale is kinda busted. I should probably get a more accurate scale, but maybe I can live with the consistently inconsistent scale.6 -

Total loss for August: Half a pound.
I continue to slowly get back to my ultimate goal weight after the COVID weight gain in March and April. I'm staying in my maintenance range. Today I weigh less than one month ago, less than two months ago, and less than three months ago. My ten-day average weight is about a half pound more than a year ago when I was maintaining near the bottom of my range.

Right now I'm eating 2,800 calories and walking four miles a day in the morning. I expected more then half a pound but I'm not worried. Next week my weight should be at 216, if not losing half a pound isn't bad. I need to be more focused with my bodyweight exercise and yoga. This upcoming week I won't change my calories at all. Best of luck to all you guy's.7 -

I ate over my calories today but I was very active and busy all day so I think I was just extra hungry from burning off all that energy lol! By next weigh in I'll be in my dorm room nervously waiting for my classes to start. Hopefully I will be able to find batteries for my scale before I leave because if not then this might be my last weigh in with all of you guys. Either way, here's to next week! May it bring nothing but success and health.6 -
@Dorgle690
I presume your scale uses CR2032 button cell batteries. They are pretty common, and you should be able to find them in most variety stores and probably hardware stores. You can also buy them online and have them shipped; they aren't very expensive. I just got a four-pack since I am about to install the only one I have left in my battery drawer.
When you wrote you were extra hungry from burning off all the energy, do you eat back your exercise calories? Do you have a way to track some of all that busy energy? I was using the pedometer on my phone before I bought a fitness tracker watch. It's a fount of data.1 -
