  • Yes. It helps to see that people always struggle, and I am no different. Whether it is five pounds, fifty, or one-fifty. It has really helped me stay the course because a calorie deficit always wins in the end.

  • This is a fantastic idea. Some days it is just endless slogging through. I am my only source of validation IRL, if it weren't for the folks here at MFP, I think I would have fallen by the wayside long ago.

  • Information is key. Actual data trumps how you think you did, or how you feel about it.
  • I am cheering for you! Break that barrier!

  • Super Summer Slimdown July 8- 251.8. I’ve been struggling with hunger. When it goes on for days, I don’t cope well. I can handle a few hours. I also have not been pre prepping my lunches and dinners, but I got the items I need from the grocery store and will get back on the wagon. July 13- 248.2. I don’t think I will make…

  • Rebecca, you are living where I'd love to retire! I love the entire area and dream of having to take a ferry to get somewhere. I love fog, and rain, and wind. Maybe that's due to living through so many droughts here in N. CA. I also find the "tropical beach" thing boring. I like crashing waves and rocks. It takes time to…

  • This is so key, thank you so much. We are all a part of this thread because we all are trying to lose a great deal of weight. We are judged so harshly by others already. We don't need that here.
  • You take a block (seven or ten days) of weight and average that. Then, each new day, the average shifts to accommodate the new day and drop off the oldest day. Here's a three day example using fake weight: Monday -192.2 Tuesday -192.0 Wednesday -191.6 This average is: 191.93. (The second decimal place is irrelevant since…
  • 166.8 to 176? That did not happen.

  • Ah, Salt. Salt salt salt. I seem to take 4 or 5 days to recover from salty stuff. Drinking a LOT more water for the next two days makes it go away faster, but I think I struggle more with this than I ever have with sweets. I think looking at your moving average would help, since TOM is a spike every month. I know people…

  • Oh yes, the dreaded not-quite-Onederland weight. I watched a group here dance at around 200 for awhile and now they are all around 190 or below. We can do it too!

  • The key is when you fall off to get back on! This. So much. I don't allow my transient feelings to derail me. If I am discouraged, I voice it and move on. I do the same when I'm excited over a nice loss.
