A loss is a loss! Nothing ‘small’ about losing over a packet of butter’s worth of fat in seven days!

Yay, just noticed the tent I’ve bought weighs the same as the weight I’ve lost (19kg)! And it’s a hefty tent to lift!

Congrats to you both, Bella and Dante! Great job carrying on
My weigh in is on Wednesdays now...I'm hoping to be on the same side of the losing/not-losing divide as you both this week. (thank goodness I have a few days to make up for a lapse last night).
Isn't it strange to consider how much extra weight you were carrying not long ago? I was measuring it in grandsons. First one, than two, now hoping to get to three of the Boys that my poor tootsies no longer have to carry around! Which seems pretty extraordinary considering I can barely lift him.5 -

I'M OVERWEIGHT!!!!!! After hovering 2-5 pounds over the line into Obese for MONTHS now, I've finally moved the scale and dropped into Overweight. This was a happy surprise after being at my parents' house for 3 days and away from bathroom scale and food scale!
179.8!
30 more pounds to go to get to Normal!9 -
Yay @amart4224, that's awesome! Such a good feeling to leave obesity behind and start chipping away at those overweight pounds instead. You'll be 'normal' before you know it!4

@amart4224
AMAZING! Congrats!!! I'm looking forward to that day. Enjoy the feeling!!4 -
Yesterday, pre-bike ride, I was down to 200.8. Not too bad after vacation - about 2 lbs of fat gain or so.
Today, post-ride and salty meal, I'm up to 203.8 lol.4 -
Woohoo, @amart4224. Strange how things happen....sometimes in just makes no sense.
You did really well too, @eliezalot. I'm not sure how I would do if I was on vacation and not logging/tracking. But two pounds sounds pretty great!2 -
I'm borrowing half of your template @Dante_80...because I have no idea how far back I would have to scroll to find my last "numbers" post here and I'm tickled with my numbers today so really want to post them.
I'm back to a "healthy" or "normal" BMI ... woohoo.

You have done extremely well…I didn’t realize how close you are to your goal weight….no wonder the pounds have been harder to lose….you will reach your goal or close to it !…..hang in there!3 -
I wasn't so close the past few months! Today I matched my lowest weight in February 168.8 - but I've been bouncing between the mid 170s to mid 180s for the past six months. Clearly the "moderate weight loss" plan doesn't work for me. But the more dramatic high deficit/low calorie plan works amazingly well. And I don't feel bad at all - though I have noticed I'm sleeping a bit more - but I'm not sure which is the chicken which is the egg.
Anyway - other than occasional days where celebrations are happening etc. I'm going to stick to my 1250 calories a day goal until I hit deficit. Then I'll deal apply what I've learned the past bunch of months to maintenance, but from a celebratory point of view.
This slow and "easy" system has just been almost a year of misery. A period of active weight loss, on the other hand, leaves me feeling amazing! It did last year, and it is now, and I hope it will for the next three or so months (and anytime in the future if my weight decides to creep up a bit).3 -
1250 calories a day…..is this with any added exercise calories?….I usually try to eat only 25% to 33% of my exercise calories not going over 1550 to 1600 calories but this hasn’t been working lol…this week very little exercise ( knee ) eating less than 1400 calories, feel satisfied and seem to be losing…lots of fluid retention with sodium and huge knee bruises….
I am sure you look great at 168 but I know you want to lose “ a little bit more”…. What does your doctor say about your weight?
At 70 I am never going to be a bikini clad teen but I am still young enough to want to look good!…my doctor and I talked about my future weight loss this past June…I told him I would like to weigh 199…. Just to have that #1 at the beginning!…we both think it would be really hard for me to get lower than that without skin reduction surgery…he said I might not like my body at 199 but it would be a healthy body!….I love my doctor and he has lost 80 lbs and maintained it using MFP….I am so weird!….my legs are long and so are my arms…I carry a lot of weight in places I can hide it lol….I am not big busted,my butt is almost gone lol and my stomach ain’t bad!….I have a small muffin top easy to conceal and my face doesn’t look like a pumpkin….wide shoulders and pretty big hands and feet!…if my arms and legs were thin I would be good to go!….
I think I have a plan for the next few months….I hope you, PAV and others give me your advice and opinion…first I am really trying to not have another binge the rest of this year because it sets me back a few weeks every time….part of the problem this past few months….I am going to continue swimming because the exercise makes me feel so good and strong…I am thinking to stay at 1 1/2 lbs loss until the first of the year and see how it goes….if I burn calories exercising I am only eating 20% back because MFP gives me too much credit lol…I am also buying some walking sticks to maybe inspire or motivate me to walk when it is cooler…Jan 1 should find me at a good weight IF I can lose 4 or 5 lbs a month…maybe in the 230s….and I stay consistent….I have informed my family the holidays are NOT going to be a free for all this year and they can each choose one kind of cookie for me to bake….Thanksgiving will be less food choices and no double desserts…they all looked at me like I had two heads!
I am so tired of this up and down!
And woo hoo Laurie had a date!….I am sure he enjoyed your company!2 -
lol...my last post was just a bit garbled! I meant to say I'm sticking to the 1250 calories most days until I hit my goal!
That is just 1250 a day - which is giving me a hefty deficit. But it isn't feeling bad so I'm going to ignore naysayers for awhile. I don't binge anymore on this than I did at 1800 a day. And I'm losing again and might actually get to goal!
My original goal was 190. Then I dropped it to 175 - now to 150. For a couple of reasons.
1. As soon as I get out of serious deficit I seem to put on about 10 lbs in ? glycogen? within a week or so. Which is starting to make sense to me. Because I've always been one of those people that can go for a long time with ...no water, no food...on a day trip or hike or whatever. I think my body just likes to keep a good store! So I want to take that into account when setting my goal, and not to get all bent out of shape when I'm 10 pounds heavier within a week.
2. I'm hoping that losing more of the subcutaneous fat inside the loose skin so that it isn't fighting gravity will help it shrink a bit??? A few people have said it helped them. I'm not going the surgery route - so I'll try this. There are weird deposits of fat...just above my elbows! Just above/at the inside of my knees. Because the skin is loose and the fat seems to have dropped as far as it can in those areas...lol...makes me laugh and cringe at the same time.
Sounds like you have some solid plans in place, Connie.
I don't know what I'm going to do with those holidays and things - at this point thinking that I'll have splurge meals, and just try to compensate afterwards. Because it is just too hard to be careful all the time!
I think we have similar builds - and similar body workings. Your calories and mine have been similar the past bunch of months, and I know it hasn't been working for me - and it doesn't seem you. So I'm going to try to roll up my sleeves and "get serious" for a few more months!6 -

A major milestone passed, 80kgs overall loss. Next one coming up is a drop to Obese Class I category, hopefully next week.4 -
@Dante_80 , your progress has been so impressive! You must be feeling on top of the world! 80kgs lost is tremendous!
Here are my figures for the week:
Start Weight (17th March 2021): 96.0kg - BMI 40.0 (obese cat 3)
Last week: 77.0kg - BMI 32.0 (obese cat 1)
This week: 76.6kg - BMI 31.9 (obese cat 1)
There is now 20% less of me than when I started! I've lost 20.2% of my starting bodyweight. Just another 22.5% (21.6kg) to go!
Garfield is still falling (slowly)

Bella you will be a happy *fat* cat before you even know it! The only issue I foresee is when Garfield becomes normal weight and is no longer a fat cat?
By the way, I did stay at the Days Inn in Revelstoke probably because of some internal Garfield association. I have to admit that while it wasn't bad, I was not impressed for the price! Then again maybe I'm comparing to pre COVID realities!1 -
