  • I weigh myself every morning and log it using the HappyScale app. However, I only log an "official" weight on MFP once a week on Wednesday. I like the daily weights because I get to see a trend. I use Wednesday as my official weekly weigh in because it gives me some time to recover from the weekend if I cheated. The…

  • I have the same schedule and things are always off the week that I'm nights. For me, it's definitely the sleep schedule. I just don't sleep as much when I'm nights and I sleep in shorter increments.

  • My dog is way ahead of me on the ball carrying. I have a lab so the tennis ball is ALWAYS along for the walks. You never know when a spontaneous game of fetch will break out! Thanks for all the suggestions. I will let you know how they go!

  • I agree that phone calls are great so my mom always gets a call when I'm walking the beast. I walk her a lot of places where she can be off leash to explore and that allows me to keep a more constant pace and both my hands free to use the phone. I text a lot while walking. Or look up stuff on the Internet. I love walking…

    in December 2015 Weight Loss Challenge Comment by melachey December 2015
  • 5'1 here, 38yo. Started at 166lbs. Currently at 137lbs. Looking to get to 126lbs. I've been doing nutrisystem since December 1st, although the summer has been rough. I'm definitely not sticking to the diet as much and that's why I've plateaued at this weight for about six weeks. I aim for 1200 calories a day as well.…

  • Yes! This is me! I am also 5'1". Started at 166lbs. Currently at 137lbs. I've been fluctuating between 137-139 for about six weeks. All my weight loss was done primarily through diet (Nutrisystem) and walking. Summer has made things more challenging as I'm not as strict with the diet. I'm at this plateau and need to break…
    in What is your goal weight? How many more pounds before you get there? Comment by melachey July 2015
  • I've lost 29 pounds so far and it feels so awesome to go clothes shopping and buy smaller sizes. Plus I feel better-no knee pain-so I'm more active.

    in Motivators?! Comment by melachey June 2015
  • I currently aim for 1200-1300 calories a day. When I hit what I thought was a plateau (3-4 weeks at the same weight), I INCREASED my calories and actually dropped weight. When I looked back on my food log I realized there were many days I was coming in at 1100-1200 calories. Much too low, especially if I was exercising. So…
