It’s normal to have off days whatever the reason.

I was pleased to see a change on the scale today. 0.4kg down. Of course it would come in one jump. Weight loss is so weird like that!
-
It’s so much easier to gain weight then it is to lose it... I had really hoped I wouldn’t fall into the group of people that gain weight again (or worse, gain more back then they lost) but life happens.

Good start!
-
I totally agree with you on this (I’ve just been annoyed by my clothes getting tight). My win is that I’ve continued exercising regularly this year despite COVID and gym closures.
-
Thanks everyone. I know logically that one week isn’t much but it really helps to here this from others. I let my cravings and boredom get the better of me this afternoon, but I shall pick up again with renewed effort!
-
I’m in the same situation. You can do it!

Today is my one year anniversary since I started using MFP. So I thought I’d share a progress pic. I started at 67.2kg in Jan 2017 and am now down to 54kg.

Wow, you look stunning
-
I have a Fitbit charge 2 and love it. I find it very useful for accurately tracking my calorie expenditure, especially for counting those exercise calories that I get to eat back!
-
I felt nervous too but then once I added my extra calories back in it didn’t feel like a major change (I was only on a 250 deficit at the end of my diet). I don’t know how large your deficit has been but you could start slowly by adding an extra 100 calories at a time, until you’ve gradually increased to your maintenance…

24 January - 24 November 2017 67.2kg - 54kg First photo is from March, second is from last Friday.

Check the 62 against exercise - presumably it's a negative adjustment.

Gin or vodka with slimline tonic or soda water are my go to's these days. I used to drink a lot of wine with friends until o found out that one bottle could equate to 600 calories! 2 tips that have been helping me: 1. If you're planning to go out that night, getting in a workout that day can boost your calorie allowance so…

For both your physical and mental health I suggest you seek help from a medical professional. Both a severely restrictive diet and a binge eating cycle are suggestive of an eating disorder (or at the very least disordered eating that could lead into an eating disorder). It sounds like you know logically what works and what…

Most likely due to TOM. Also well done you for allowing yourself to eat at maintenance for a few days - I think many women have an elevated calorie burn at that time which briefly increases our hunger. After my initial flush of weight loss in the first 2 months I experience a lot more fluctuation on the scale but the…

As others have said - don't wear makeup while exercising - this is likely to cause more spots. For dark spots I recommend checking out Alpha H's Liquid gold with glycolic acid. It's supposed to help reduce acne scars and dark spots. I've definitely found my skin looks smoother and brighter after use. Unfortunately there's…

Hi! I'm not a mum but I am busy with work and also have a partner who's calorie needs are over 3,000kcal. I've lost about 15lbs since January but still another 11 or so to go!

My last weigh-in of the challenge. Off on vacation tomorrow! SW: 148lbs (20 Jan) CW: 132.4lbs (27 June) Total lost: 15.8lbs :)
-
As of today I've now made it through two 28- minute runs at a relatively slow speed. Covered the treadmill timer with my towel today but I'm still struggling to fight against the thoughts telling me to stop. I really don't know how people make it through long-distance runs!

Made it through my first 25minute run today, so pleased!
-
Edit. I reviewed the calories inputs on Fitbit for yesterday vs my MFP diary and found that it had two entries for my 'afternoon snacks', one with the actual figure and another showing an additional 200+ calories. Strange goings on!
-
Started week 6 today and it almost seemed harder to get through than the last run of week 5, despite the walk breaks!

Yass! Completed the 20minute run this morning B)

Have you tried any meat-alternatives such as quorn?

I recommend the Guilty Feminist podcast, its funny and thought-provoking.
