Hello all, yesterday was so busy I forgot to weigh in! The moment I was awake I started thinking about a list of tasks for work and my weight in just slipped my mind. But as of this morning I am 171.2 lbs, meaning I lost 1 lbs last week and I've lost a total of 30.8 lbs over all. It feels awesome to be at that point! I…

Wow, you look great!! Congrats on the amazing progress :)

Also @5n00py I love all your charts. They're the best!

Hello everyone!! After 2 weeks of not seeing any improvement I am happy to report that I am down to 172.2lbs, meaning I lost .8 lbs last week. It's not much but it's encouraging and I hope for next week to be even more successful. I am so close to 30 lbs lost over all! Contrary to what my little progress tracker suggests,…

Annoying, I maintained my weight this week at 173 lbs. I had a wedding last weekend with an open bar so I am blaming that. Sticking with my jogging routine and packing my lunch to hopefully see a loss by this time next week.

Thanks! I will check them out :)

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. The difference is very, very noticeable. :)

Thanks for the insight ladies, I do appreciate it. It makes me feel a bit better knowing other women have this struggle!

@Maxematics I do think part of my issue is that I never tracked it before (because I was so overweight and not committed to losing) so even though I am almost 30 this is the first time I ever noticed! I feel you about the whole thing messing with you.

My clothes are already too loose LOL. I just want to stay on track. It's frustrating not to be able to trust what the scale is telling me. That week threw me off psychologically, although I'm sticking with my meal prep and work out routine.

Wowee, I lied, I actually lost quite a lot this last week! 2.6 lbs to be exact as I weighed in at 173 lbs this morning!! I think I maintained last week due to my period.

OMG @5n00py you can do it!!! What an exciting goal!! My mini challenge is to lose 5 lbs by the end of August, which would get me down to 170.6 lbs :) Best of luck sir!!

I don't expect any weight loss tomorrow AM but I will report back, whatever the results. I seem to have hit my first plateau! But I will figure out a way to beat it, promise (I already have some fresh ideas, mostly food related).

@brittdee88 My BF is an omnivore, too. The struggle is SO REAL.

@nevadavis1 Maybe you can pack him some high cal snacks like trail mix (yum!) so he has something when he is working on the house. Moving is such a stressful time but I am sure it will be worth it. @5n00py I feel you about not making progress. I was so disappointed yesterday with my weight. However, I started my period…

Personally I keep my mine closed because there aren't a ton of vegan versions of certain things, for example, apple crumble, so I use the "regular" versions to estimate calories. I don't want a bunch of judgey weirdos thinking I'm not eating vegan because of how I log LOL!!!

Disappointingly, Weigh-In Wednesday revealed no loss but maintaining at 175.6 lbs this morning. I am going to push extra hard to lose next week!

I'm really confused about how you would know you are overeating when not counting calories. I don't think MFP is the tool for *everyone* trying to lose weight, but it's the tool for *most* people trying to lose weight. I know it can be a drag or a chore sometimes but MFP is probably the best *free* calorie tracker you're…

love it @nevadavis1 ! and dont worry @5n00py it's gonna pass

I want to be brutally honest here. My break room is ALWAYS full of junk food so I have experienced this struggle for 40 hours a week or more for a long time now. The best way I have found not to indulge in the junk food I don't need and haven't budgeted for is... to look at my over weight coworkers and remind myself I do…

Exciting results for my weigh in! I lost 2.4 lbs last week, meaning I only have .6 lbs to lose to meet my goal for the end of the month. SW: 202 lbs CW: 175.6 lbs GW: 150 lbs :D

This is just me, but I am at 1200 cal a day - I find that eating the right foods at the right time makes this number work for me without getting too hungry and binging. Some days I do go up to as much as 1500 cal if I am working out really hard that day but otherwise I am sticking to 1200 as a rule. 5'5 female, 29 years…

@middlehaitch omg you look AMAZING in that red dress

25 lbs I dropped from a 14/16 to a 12/14, which is pretty loose. Depends on your body composition tho, I carry most of my fat in my tum so pants are much looser but I am still wearing all the same tops at this point.

Well done @brittdee88 ! I weigh in on Wednesday :)

For what it's worth I think your tum looks great! Girl, you look so slim and fit :)

Hi all, I'm a 5'5 woman who was at 202 lbs, down to 178 lbs currently, hoping to get to 150 lbs. I am already developing (very minor) loose skin on the bottom of my tum, which is where I carry most of my excess fat and where I have lost most of 24 lbs. I already have a smidge of loose skin there and I know I will have more…

Grrl, I have been discouraged too. But success is possible. Stick with your calorie budget and you will succeed. <3

Me too! If I snack, it's all over LOL. I will sometimes make a cup of tea with a hint of sweetener or almond milk to tide me over between meals.

Nice to meet you brittdee88. Best of luck with your challenge!!
