Daily weighing helps me understand the fluctuations. As long as the trend is downward, I'm happy.

You could also check out Strong Curves by Bret Contreras, known as The Glute Guy.

I know you said you've been eating too few calories, but have you been eating more sodium or carbs? Those two things make me retain water, along with increased exercise like ultrahoon said.

This is me to a T!

you talkin' my language!

Take a look at Bret Contreras's Strong Curves program. He's known for building strong glutes. You can google his name to find his website. He also has videos on youtube.

Thanks! Don't know why I waited so long to start this journey, but I am much happier, and laugh so much more!

Week 1 SW 167.1 CW 165.8 Lost .3

Sisterhood of the traveling flappy bras! :D

Stapler? Wish I'd thought of that!

That's so awesome! Maybe I'll do as well with my thrift store shopping.

Good job in shrinking past the jeans. I have no jeans! Well, one pair of very expensive size 8. The others have traveled to parts unknown. :'(

Yeah, and the difference in grocery bill isn't enough to cover a new wardrobe!

Thanks! I was kind of enjoying that my clothes were loose, as proof to me that I had lost weight. I didn't think I looked that bad until hubby laughed at my flabby pants. No one at work said anything until I started wearing the smaller pants, so I just figured no one noticed. Turns out they did, but didn't say anything…

I guess the moral of the story is - don't wait too long to try on those clothes we expanded out of. :)

Kudos for asking for help. Please keep checking back and letting us know how you do. We are here for you.

I'm in. SW 167.1 GW 155

Agreed! Admitting something is hard is not the same thing as admitting defeat.

Last week! SW 182 GW 167 CW 167.1 - I missed it by .1 lb! Must have been that leftover Halloween candy. But since I lost 14.9 lbs, I'm happy! Overall, 25 lbs down, 32 to go.

My plan worked - sort of. I stayed under my calorie goals, but my hubs wanted to do the cooking. Bless his little heart. He learned that "saute" does not mean "boil in oil," so I went over my fat macro. We did have a good laff about it.

waiting for the loss

Amazing!

Good job on upping your exercise! I started slowly at first, and the more I did, the better I felt. The better I felt, the more I wanted to do. The more I do, the more inches I lose!

SW 182 CW 168.8 Loss to date = 13.2 GW 167

Starbucks French Roast, black with one packet of Splenda

Withings Pulse 0x - tracks steps, altitude, calories burned with steps, daily calories burned, sleep quantity and quality, and has heart rate sensor. Also have Withings SmartBody scale. Both sync with MFP.

Tough love, and so true! Age is just a number and it does not define you. I've lost 23 lbs (34 to go), started working out at the gym 4x per week doing resistance training. I also do bodyweight exercises at home. I'm 67. I had to get tough with myself to do any of it, and it isn't any harder than it was 20 or 30 years ago.…
