I'm also throwing my 2 cents at using a trend weight tracking app if you're weighing every day. I do, (I can't help it, I'm just so curious.) and using Libra (android) is the best thing I have done for myself! Weight fluctuates so much on the day-to-day, but the app keeps me from going crazy if my weight goes up because it…

I was actually a fairly healthy/skinny kid until age 11. I took a sharp nosedive into the awkward puberty stage and rounded out. In high school I was probably just on the edge of healthy weight after growing a few inches taller but still had a chubbiness to me, and of course I hated gym class, I hated sports, and…

Maybe what you're seeing is how much you've lost since your last check in. Say, on first check in you lost 4, and on your second you lost another 2? If not did you change your starting weight somehow?

Reach 10,00 steps 4. Drink more water than I did yesterday 5. Don't start celebrating my birthday early, I have all day tomorrow and all weekend…

5'6" SW: 200 lb CW: 192 lb GW: 180 lb UGW: Around 160 lb? I'm taking my goals slowly. Realistically I'm just looking to get to 180 right now. After that I'll look at 160, and go from there. I know for my height and frame (medium-large) I should ideally be somewhere between 145 and 155; But I haven't been that weight since…

Your story and mine are so similar, it's crazy!!! I also dated my husband in high school, got married in 2014 after 8 years together. We bought our house before the wedding and husband has an awesome job he loves (as do I, but it's not nearly as well paying). We are stable and financially secure... and I'm changing my…

Just throwing my 2 cents to agree with using an app that tracks trends. I use Libra on my phone and do weigh myself daily. My weight fluctuations, like yours, are always super crazy. Yesterday morning my weight was 195, this morning it was 192.3. If I weigh myself this afternoon or evening I can bet it will be somewhere…

Yay I was looking for this thread! Glad I finally found it, I'll add my info from the beginning of the month to catch up...

When I started this journey I chose my "ultimate goal weight" based on the weight I was when I look back and think about when my body looked the best. I have always been a little on the chubbier side, and at the time when I was my "ultimate goal weight" I wasn't totally happy with myself, but I was also in High School and…

In 2010 I bought a dress that I fell in love with for a formal University event. Last summer I was invited to a "Gala" event and I thought that the dress would be perfect if by *any* chance it would still fit.... and it didn't. Like, at all. So... Yeah, one day I will wear that dress again!

In college I gained the standard "15 lbs". Then after college I started working two jobs and got engaged. People asked us if we were "trying to lose weight for the wedding" and we joked, "No, we're getting fatter!" (Which turned out to not be such a joke, because it was unintentionally true.) Then I settled into married…

Height: 5'6" SW: 198 GW:183 I'll give this a shot! My original goal from February was to lose 15-20lb by my birthday which is actually May 20th, but after having nearly no results for over a month I've changed my MFP calorie settings and I'm trying even harder. May 30th might still be hard, but it's possible! Even if I…

Last night I went grocery shopping and bought some new healthy snacks for the week, and after being frustrated with not seeing any progress (pretty much at all!) for the past month, I changed my MFP settings to be a little more challenging. I thought what I had set would help me lose some weight, but I it seems that all…

You do whatever you want. Some people log weight daily, some weekly, some not at all. It's not required, and it's up to you. Unless you have joined a group or want to do a challenge or something where everyone posts their results/goals, but again, totally up to you.

I tend to weigh myself every day if I think of it, but my weight fluctuates so much its hard to tell if I'm really "losing" anything when the next day it goes right back up to where I started... I really should cut back to 1x per week but I don't know if even that will make a difference.

I'm glad to read all this good stuff about planks vs sit ups. I've been trying to do a 30 day plank challenge with a gradual increase of hold times. I've never been good at sit-ups, (they don't always agree with my back -probably because my form is horrible), and even though they can really difficult, I found that I can…
