I'm pretty much not gaining but not losing. It's ok. I gotta do better!4 -
@LaurieWrobo - I've been getting those requests lately as well. Almost every time I log in, there's at least one and sometime two or three requests. Some have no pic, no profile... some have nasty pics of private parts and just things I don't wanna see. The other day I had one legit request amongst a gross one and two blank ones. I'm like delete, add, delete, delete. LOL. Incredibly annoying. I really feel their filters should catch this stuff.3

Not my normal weigh-in day, but I am too excited to keep it to myself! I weigh 149.8 pounds this morning, and have made it to my "normal weight" category! I am 23.8 pounds to my goal weight of 126 pounds.
Also, today is my 6 month MFP anniversary and I have lost 75.2 pounds!
I lost at least 2 pounds every single week since the beginning, and never once had to be reminded to post my weight (in truth, I can hardly wait to post my weekly losses, haha!)
Sorry to brag, but I'm doing good and I'm proud of myself! Being in this group has helped as I am determined not to let the group down.14 -
@chublet25 - Congratulations! 🎉🎉 🎉
You’ve made fantastic progress! My favorite milestone was moving into the ‘normal’ BMI weight category so I’m feeling your excitement, too. It’s a wonderful validation of all the work you’ve put into developing healthier habits. Good for you.
The pace of your loss is amazing. For me, it’s been much slower, and I’ve had to be patient with the process, but now I trust the way my nutrition and exercise plans work over time. It used to feel as though I’d stall for weeks at each 10 pound increment (e.g., getting under 150, then again at 140) but, eventually, I stopped worrying about the timeline of achieving a particular milestone and accepted that the downward trend would continue until I reached my goal. Like you, I’m actually looking forward to my next doctor appointment to get on the scale and have them record my weight.
Thanks for sharing your positive energy with all of us, Shrinking Assets. I don’t consider it ‘bragging’ for you to describe how pleased you are about achieving a milestone goal. To me, it shows us you feel comfortable being yourself and know that we’ll want to celebrate your success. Like a healthy family that wants the best for you; your success is in some way all our success.
I appreciate you sharing what’s possible and offering everyone a glimpse of what it will feel like as each of us reaches a new personal goal, no matter how small.
Any others out there? I want to hear every incremental success story and ride the positive spiral up with you.
Congratulations again @chublet25. I smile every time I see your name appear on the weekly leaderboard as a proud member of the Shrinking Assets team. As you get closer to your goal weight, another new member may move onto the leaderboard in your place (as weight loss slows down for you but the downward trend continues); however, I’m confident that it won’t matter to you because you’ve already built great habits to carry you on to your ultimate goal. Wow! 🤩 more than 75 pounds down must feel fantastic. Enjoy the feeling! … and thanks for letting us bask in your sunlight!
I hope you don’t mind if I use your momentum to stay motivated on this very rainy day in the Washington, DC area. 😉 Cheers to you!5 -

I’m not sure if I’m still supposed to weigh in weekly now that I’ve met my goal. I don’t want to hurt the team with a gain if I’m under my goal weight (as it stands this week). I looked in the Fit2Fat guidance but didn’t see instructions on how to report my weight, or if I should just continue to calculate my progress without reporting the results here.
Anyway, my maintenance goal is to stay between 120-130 pounds. At age 55 and 5’4” tall, the BMI category range is 110-140 so I’m aiming to stay somewhere in the middle. The middle point of the BMI screening tool is 21.7 and I’m at 21.45, right now. Currently, my focus is body recomposition so I might even gain some weight but that’s alright with me if I stay within the healthy range and see positive results with an increase in muscle mass, definition, etc. Best wishes, Shrinking Assets. Go get those goals!!6 -

Congrats at hitting your goal, @PatriceFitnessPal ! And @chublet25 , this is ALL ABOUT BRAGGING!! Brag away! You deserve it and serve as an inspiration to others!
I've been weighing myself every morning I have noticed that I definitely get a heavier reading the morning after a hard barre work out. So I have noticed the trend and will try not to freak out about it.5 -

Disappointed, but my digestive system seems to still be out of whack after Monday’s procedure. I’ve got to resist the urge to binge on junk food. Unfortunately I allowed some into the house this week and it has been tempting me.
We finally had our first cool snap of fall so I’m looking forward to heating up the kitchen again with our fall favorites.6 -

@PatriceFitnessPal
I don't think I could handle stalling out for weeks on end. I really don't think I could! The first week when I don't lose 2 pounds (and it could be THIS week, as I have been so tired I haven't exercised much) is going to be traumatic enough for me! Kudos to you folks who stick with it, when the scales show no progress. I honestly think that I would have got discouraged and wept into a pint of (vegan cherry/chocolate chunk) ice cream (at about 250 cal/half cup or something scary like that)). Sorry, too many brackets (as usual).

I wanted to get below 150 during the month of September. I did it, now I have to keep going in the right direction. This group has been so helpful and encouraging.

I'm doing okay. Need to go to bed earlier. So happy it's finally fall. Another thing I need to do is track. That lacked this week. I went about 2 weeks without soda. Switched over to Polar seltzer water. My biggest concern is if I drink soda again especially Pepsi or Sunkist, that I will binge on it. Those two things are ADDICTING. Ran out of seltzer at work and ended up having a Sprite. It wasn't so bad. Still not going to chance it. Another thing I'm doing is getting my Halloween costume ready. SOOOOOOOOOOO excited about that. This year I was actually able to buy one from Spirit Halloween. They actually had one my size!!!!!!
Still drinking my water and watching my junk food intake at work. Did very well this week. Keeping simple goals since my main goal has been reached. (Got out of the 280s)
Oh one last thing, does anyone have any suggestions for dinner? We love pasta and spaghetti but I'm getting tired of it. It's so simple to make. Thanks.4 -
Sooo… I forgot my scales in Georgia. I’ll be carrying over this week4
