I personally love sugar free fudge pops, they taste amazing and are 40 calories a piece. I have been known to eat 3 or 4 a night!

I'm still 30 lbs outside of a healthy weight range. Also I am moderately comfortable but I would love to be able to truly love my body one day.

Thank you! My stomach has always been my least favorite lol

I would recommend tons of water and a good night's sleep. It seems to me when I'm rested and hydrated that's when my losses happen. Could all be in my head but I would say just keep pushing through!

For ten lbs a month I am loosing 2.5 lbs a week just a mere .5 lbs over the recommended amount. Some of higher average is from my first week where I lost 7 lbs. Thanks for the concern but I am doing it healthy

Flow chart?

I have been at 1200 since I started since I am 5'1 and have it set as sedentary and 2lbs a week. To actually loose 2lbs a week I would need to net between 800-900 calories daily :/

If it's helpful I am 23YO female 5'1 , SW 198.8 CW 168.4 GW 130

I still log everything I eat but haven't ever used a food scale so it's not super accurate. I'm considering buying a food scale since I'm sure a few hundred calories makes more of a difference now then 30 lbs ago. I feel like with 38 lbs to go 2 lbs a week is still an attainable goal no?

I'm 5'1 and I've lost 30 lbs so far 198.8 to 168.6

.

That is hilarious, I can just picture you doing that every weigh in.

Yeah, I guess I just find it fascinating. I know some of the weightless is due to water weight , sodium ect. I'm almost 3 months in and I just don't see a consistent pattern. I guess I can't really wrap my mind around where it goes lol.

Not really worried since I've lost 30 lbs in 85 days. Just thought it was interesting no need for condescending comments. Geez

I weigh daily and I'm never higher than the day before. I might go from 169.8 to 170 but never a full pound. It is possible my scale is off but it lines up with my doctors so idk....

Hmm I'm wondering if maybe my scale doesn't register until it's a more significant difference. To me it seems like you would go down a few ounces at a time not just drop 3lbs never to return. Like where does it go overnight?

Thank you!

Thanks everyone 130 is at the top end of a healthy BMI for my height so I will stick with that and adjust of needed :)

Thank you! That was very helpful!

Thanks for all of your replies, I'm not considering starving or yoyo dieting for the record. Just curious.

Could you get one of those lunch bags with an ice pack? That's what I use, my job has a fridge but I like my food close by for snacking reasons

Great advice! I will try a couple weeks being strict with foods I consistently eat to get a feel for it.

Well I don't know for sure that's why I leave a fee hundred calories wiggle room. I try to be as accurate as possible with everything but know as most people I will have human error

Well I do two (heaping tablespoons) because I dip my celery in it every morning so I just know I must be over

Gahhh maybe I should start weighing but I don't know if I can face seeing an actual serving size of peanut butter!! SN I have lost 20lbs in the last two months not weighing that makes it OK right ???!!! OK now I'm making excuses just weigh your food Ashley lmao

I was drinking a minimum of 64 oz of coke a day my entire life. When I decided to get healthy I quit cold turkey! Its been 60 days now and I don't even miss it.

@cds_momto3 it is, 20lbs just feels like progress before now I just didnt feel a difference!

Thanks, I have a very small frame which is a double edge sword. It shows quick when I gain and when I lose!

I started at 198.8 51 days ago and am down 19.2 lbs today! Can't wait for the 20lb mark
