    Wednesday
    Track: Yes
    Exercise: Yes. Walked 35 minutes this morning
    Calories: Over (81 calories)
    I think my problem is that I eat first then record the meal. I think I'm eating within my meal calories but when I record it, I'm a bit over.

    How do you all record your meals? Before or after you eat them?

    I've been trying to track everything I am going to eat at the beginning of the day when I'm making food, and when I do that my results are better, but sometimes I miss or forget something and it sends me over. Definitely a work in progress.

    December week 4
    Friday
    PW: 141.7
    CW: 140.4

    After "plateauing" for months, the last weeks make me really proud I kept going. Consistency really works even if sometimes it feels like you've been stuck for so long.

    I'm really excited to get so close to my goal!

    81 calories over is not so bad. ;)
    I log my food before I eat. And I track EVERYTHING, honestly it's tedious and I often get annoyed about doing it but.... It works.

    @Gold6767

    How is Body Revolution going?
    I've done that program before and I could really see/feel changes in my body. I think it's a good program and I will do it again for sure.

    After several weeks of no progress I am thrilled with this!
    @Isabelle I'm only 1 week into Body Revolution but so far I really like it. I'm not doing to exact meal plan in the program though.

    I wasn't following the meal plan when I did it, just the workouts.

    ... Congrats for your loss!

    Even though I went over on my calories a couple of days, I was still able to lose some. I am keeping in mind that this is my first week so most of the weight I loss is from water but I'll take it anyway!

    @Isabelle @Gold6767 @leni1us Great week you guys!
    @beshamama Not a gain!
    @girlfacedolly If you just started a new exercise regimen or anything, it will cause water retention. Drink up and I bet it will be gone! I'm not even weighing this week because it is IV steroid week for me. Last time I thought that I was dying because it was a +19lbs gain in one day...I just have to pop furosemide like candy while I'm getting the infusions now.

    Track: yes
    Under calories: no
    Exercise: 45 minute walk this morning.

    The overage came from large fast food French fries I shared with my husband (I ate about 1/2 and recorded it). I took the advice of @Gold6767 and @Isabelle and prepped my food in the morning (my breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks). I was going to be 10 calories from hitting my goal for the day....then the fries happened. I did not factor those in and I know I should not have eaten them but I did.

    Tomorrow is another day.

    Hi everyone. My name is Lori. I have been using MFP off and on for a few years. Last December I decided I needed to make some lifestyle changes. I was over 300lbs and feeling terrible. I have high blood pressure & pre-diebetes. I knew I needed to make some changes. So I started doing intermittent fasting and using MFP to track my eating. I have lost 70 lbs so far and my AC1 has gone from 6.1 to 5.2. And I feel great. I started keto in August because I hit a plateau. And it has been working. I have been helping Melinda as co-captain when I can. If you'd like you can send me a friend request and my diary is open.

    Welcome everyone & good luck!

    My goal for December is to be more consistent. I have been losing & gaining the same 5 lbs for the last 2 months. I need to weigh & track my food, thats when I'm the most successful. I want to be 225 by the end of Dec.

    I'll have to weigh myself tomorrow because I forgot to do it before I had breakfast this morning. :D
