Same here, @jmfloyd2014. I do better during the week than the weekends. But good for you on the consistent exercise! Yay!

Hi Kamerina, I'm Christina and would love to be buddies encouraging each other in our weight loss goal. I'm fairly new to MFP, having started in mid-December. Lost 10 lbs so far, mostly from counting calories by journaling, but am starting to add regular exercise as I know it will soon be more difficult to lose weight by…

Normally I weigh in every Sunday morning, but I was at my bro's & his kids, and no scale. But delaying weigh-in til tomorrow cuz of a bad weekend with a lot of salt intake which I think is causing water retention weight. Had a decent week, but on weekends I seem to go off kilter. And less water, as I don't have a constant…

@ Rayleigh: I had the same issue about force feeding myself leftovers, but I finally told myself, My body is NOT a trash can. That helped me put things in perspective - hope that helps! @BestMeICanBe: Gratz on the skin clearing! and your smiling at your reflection made me smile with happiness. :smile:

The scale says I lost 0.4 lbs since last Sunday. But had a total cheat day yesterday by eating a whole bag of microwave popcorn and then a large dinner. But I'm glad to see the correlation so quickly between my cheat day and the scale, as that encourages me not to do that again as I see the immediate cause and effect. On…

Awesome, Samantha - congrats on your weight loss trend and your 3.2 lbs loss this week! Enjoy your success and don't feel guilty. Remember, it's usually the trend, not one isolated event, that's most important.

I lost 2.2 lbs since last Sunday. My goal is to be more active this year. I know, I know, many people join a fitness club at this time of the year, but I truly do believe I've progressed beyond the daydream phase to acting on my dream phase. I started MFP to help count calories for weight loss; I'm joining the health club…

Hi! I'm Christina and lost 0.8 lbs. I'm rather disappointed, but I went over my calories in many dinners. I'd do so well through the day, then blow everything at dinner. I am going to get a food scale in 2 weeks and circumstances will make watching what I eat easier also in 2 weeks time. Right now I'm rather embarrassed to…

Late check-in due to not having a scale this weekend. Just weighed myself and lost 3.6 lbs! I'm so excited!

Hi Sarah - kudos to you for your determination to start anew! I'm in the same boat in that I will need friends to help me stay on track and not to get discouraged. Let's be happy losers together! Christina

Hey everybody! I'm Christina and my goal is to lose 33 lbs. I'm just starting and don't have a goal date set, and so the goal challenge of this group jumped out at me. My biggest challenge I think will be recovering from the days when I eat too much or don't exercise as planned. Discouragement is a huge part of any goal,…

Hi Jenn! Good luck to you - you seem to have a motivated start that includes both long term and short term goals, a daily tracker in this app, and a measurable way to track your progress (using pounds lost, minutes exercised, and a near goal date). I truly believe reachable, measurable goals is essential to success. Your…

Hi Jenny! Though I've never never really tried to lose weight (daydreaming without any planned action doesn't count!), I've never been happy with my weight. Weight creep has added pounds to my frame over the years, but recently I gained 10 lbs in 2 month's time. That last bit woke me up, and I am tackling this issue…
