Read a Reader's Digest article some years back that suggested an incremental approach that worked for me. Particularly in the diet portion. That is to start with one meal a day (say breakfast) and get that under control calorie and nutrition wise and when you've conquered that add Lunch or snacks.... It really helped me…

Whole eggs -- the chickens in my backyard would feel insulate if I only ate half their "girts" to me. I figure it's one of things where nature knows what it is doing. So do people that use a lot of egg whites buy them separately or do you throw out the yolk? Just curious...

I have been using the C25K app. It doesn't need any data or internet unless you sync to mfp at the very end. I just wait to do that until I'm at home by the wifi. I don't have a data plan on my phone.

I have mostly been a walker but decided I want to at least try running. Using an app on my phone called C25K that slowly build up to running for a full 5K. It uses running/walking intervals (tells me when to do each). It might be something that would help you. It's a free app.

I've settled on twice a week. I rather think of the mid-week weighing as a progress report to see if heading in the right direction for the end of week weigh-in. Makes it over all less stressful.

I find it's helpful to have more than one metric. I have a body fat reading on my scale so I track that weekly. I also take waist and hip measurements about every two weeks. Sometimes when the pounds aren't budging... I still see progress in the other measurements. Keep going girl -- you can do this!

Sugar has been my "drug of choice" and the biggest part of my weight struggles. I would agree that the headaches are an "I miss sugar" reaction. I had about a week of them when I first started reducing my sugar intake. I think it will get better soon... and you'll feel so much better overall.

WOW! Thanks for sharing your story. I'm just beginning and have about 40 lbs to lose.
-
I've wanted to do that as well but so far haven't found a way to do that...

Even when your behaviors are consistent, the weight loss is not linear... some weeks the scale doesn't budge. HANG in there! Focus on the good -- like that you're feeling better because of the changes you've been making.

Reminds me of Frog and Toad children's book. In the end will power only worked for them when they got rid of the cookies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhYh1eZh1Ew (book is better)
