Weight in blue makes me blue because itβs a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because itβs a loss. Weight in black means no change.

My first small goal is to reach 220 lbs. I have a set goal to lose 7-10 lbs. a month!
Update 5/15: I spoke with my doctor and close family friend last night and she offered me some good advice. I asked her why I was so slow to lose weight or if she had any insight on my protein intake and calories. She did her calculations and actually suggested that I was eating too few calories and not enough protein. So, my focus for the next couple of weeks is to keep up my water intake and definitely make sure that I'm eating enough protein! I also was told that it's completely normal to fluctuate 4 pounds on the daily. So keep up the hard work everyone! Half-way through the month! We got this!5 -

Had sushi for Mother's Day and I'm hoping this is water retention.
Don't be too hard on yourself! It could very well be the sodium in the sushi! I eat sushi a lot, and I notice that because of the soy sauce, I'm usually pretty bloated afterwards and the next day. You've got this!2 -

Focusing on protein can help you feel full, but I'm not sure how eating more calories will increase weight loss. Losing fat happens when you eat fewer calories than you burn. If you are eating so few calories that you don't have energy to get out and do normal things like take long walks, then underfeeding may be affecting how many calories you burn. You can use the guided setup here on MFP or some site like Sailrabbit to get a good estimate of your daily calorie needs in order to lose weight at a healthy rate. Note that MFP does not include intentional exercise in the calories it gives you, just activity from work. If you do intentional exercise, your calorie allowance increases.
You also might want to reconsider your weight loss rate goal. Losing seven to ten pounds a month puts you pretty close to the very maximum safe rate to lose - about 1% of your mass per week. That would require you to have a daily calorie deficit of 1000 calories, and that's a lot. If you're worried about eating too little, this might be a culprit. Yes it will take longer if you go slower, but you might be more likely to succeed with fewer frustrations.

I am posting in this challenge for the first time this month. I got sick and lost my way, and really don't want to lose the momentum I've worked so hard to achieve since January. And I also don't like the direction I'm going. I'm going to begin again. Thank you to this group for keeping me motivated.
