I have never used one and I'm down 93 pounds.

Are you willing to chat in private? I have some questions.

Yes I am just asking how long it took to get cleared. I know everyone is different. I'm not going to take that someone else did and apply to me. Just curious that's all.

That is me to a T. I enjoy that one day of extra food with also keeping up with losing.

You are likely eating too much.

70 pounds

Yes!!!! Thanks :)

It really is. I'm loving it.

YES! I feel like every weekend there is something going on so if I workout really hard and bank my calories I don't have to stress about treating myself. Are you consistently losing this way?

This!!! I tracked for almost 2 months and from there I never track or weigh. I'm down 75 pounds since jan 1. I'm eating plenty of whole foods and exercising. It does get annoying when people insist you must weigh your food. And this is me going on 2 week long vacations and having chest meals or days often.

I go through the same thing. It's hard going from never moving to truly loving it and wanting to do it. Just remember that you are doing your body good by taking a day off. And maybe start out with 3 breaks a month. Something is better than nothing.

I went away a couple of weeks ago for 6 days. Came home and was up 8 pounds. Lost those 8 pounds in 2 days and within a week lost another 4. Still really confused but I accept it. lol

I think so! I've lost 75 pounds in 6 plus months.

Thank you

I have lost almost 74 pounds since Jan 1 and have never weighed my food.

Just to update you all, I went on vacation for 6 days and ate everything and anything I wanted. I was up 8 pounds when I came back, lost those 8 pounds in 2 days and down another 3 from my lowest weight. I don't know if it got my metabolism in full swing or what, but I'm super excited about it. I did workout 4 of those 6…

ahhhhh, ok, thanks guys!

I'm down almost 64 pounds since January 1. I really just want to eat whatever I want for the week, but so worried I would gain a ton of weight.

Thank you all so much!!!! Love seeing so much variety.

Thank you! I'm the newbie who started on Jan 1st and have been the same weight for almost 5 days and am about to lose my mind. And then, I read THIS. So thank you! p.s. down 20.04 pounds down :)

Ok, I'm getting more chicken and fish out of the freezer for more protein and I had just had some cheese. I truly appreciate all of you, especially those that have taken time out of their busy day to check my diary. I want to do as well as I possibly can. So thank you!

Thanks all! Truly appreciate the input. Can you explain to me how the food scale works?

Thanks so much for looking over, I appreciate it. I'll try and up my protein a bit. I'm definitely eating a lot of food throughout the day, it's just that it's whole foods. Part of me wants to splurge on something to up my calories, but I fear I'll go down a path of binging.

Thank you! I'm loving the encouragement and support. I'm going to keep at it and get rid of my unrealistic goals.

Yes, I'm very glad. I'm thankful to just be here trying to get healthy so I can be around for a long time.

I also have over 100 pounds to lose.

It's 8 pounds in 13 days. I guess because I lost those 8 the first week and Thursday is the end of my second week and I haven't lost in my second week.

<3<3 thank you thank you thank you

That's very interesting. I wonder if I should try something on that is usually snug just to see how it fits.

Would anyone be willing to look at my diary and just see if there is something I'm doing that maybe I shouldn't be? I haven't logged since I joined, but I have the past 4 days or so. I did stop logging exercise per my nutritionist friend because she said I shouldn't eat back my workout calories.
