Do you update your weight? Log exercise? You log exactly the same number of calories every day? Even a small difference make change the numbers a lot since it’s looking at a 5 week span. Also, if it has you set at 1200 calories it may be that it’s not safe/healthy for you to lose 1 lb a week based on your current stats. It…

I never drank much. Now I drink even less. It’s just not worth the calories for me - I love food more than I love alcohol! I still have a glass of wine on occasion though and just make sure to fit it in my daily calories. I never drank enough for me to feel like drinking less made a big difference in my weight loss but if…

My next seven days I need to continue doing 30 Day Shred (move from level 1 to level 2) and add running to my workout schedule. Also add a yoga session in somewhere.

@riley2eat - 4.2 lbs is a huge loss for one week! It sounds like you are on track with everything! I've been on break (I'm a teacher) for almost a month and have to get back to work tomorrow. It's definitely harder when I don't have the whole day to get things done. @echoroyal79 - I've done that before! It was very helpful!

Do you all use the same size weights through the whole video? I feel like I barely have time to change weights! But some moves I can do with 10 lbs and others I can barely do with 3 so I feel like I can’t use use the same ones for everything.

Nvm...read the question wrong!

It's snowing where I am today. I actually really like days like this, it makes me feel calm and relaxed. I workout at home so it doesn't dim my motivation for working out. I'm currently drinking my morning coffee and adding all my workouts through September into my phone so it's easy for me to quickly look up what each…

@Dilvish - Actually, weighing yourself daily is helpful for a lot of people. Weighing daily and tracking it in an app that will give you a moving average is going to give you a much more accurate picture of your weight than weighing once a week. But really it's about finding what works best for an individual. That might be…

Making some progress in the right direction this week :) and I'm normally bloated this time of the month but don't seem to be experiencing that in January, maybe the daily workouts are helping with…

You can jump in any time :) You just start checking in (most seem to do weekly but you can check in however often you like).

Do you weigh yourself at the same time each day? It’s not really worth comparing random times you stepped on the scale throughout the day. And 1.6 lbs is nothing really. There could be a million reasons for a fluctuation that small.

That’s more than a little progress! You’re doing fantastic!

I do modified low-impact jumpjacks (I don’t care what Jillian says, I’m doing the modified jumping jack!) and wall push-ups because I suck at push ups and never feel like I have good form when I drop my knees.

Don’t hope. Make a plan and make it happen. You are in control, you can make it happen. The mindset you have can be a powerful thing. Be determined.

I follow it 95% of the time. There are some days where I plan to go over or not count (special occasions) and others where I’m for some reason extra hungry at night and will grab a healthy snack before bed even if it means I’ll go over my calorie goal. I have the most success when I stick to my calorie goal. I know if I…

Pre-logging for the day can be helpful. It reminds me that I don't have extra calories for whatever it is that's tempting me. I also log everything before it goes in my mouth which makes me think about if I really want it or not.

That would probably make me sick. I drink enough so that my pee is a pale yellow. I don’t track my water or try to guzzle down as much as possible during the day. As long as I’m hydrated, I’m not worried about how much water I’m drinking.

Done with my workout for the day! I’m proud of myself for keeping on track so far. I’m not a huge fan of working out so I usually can find all sorts of reasons not to.

I’m 6 inches shorter than you and eat 1200-1300 calories a day. There’s absolutely no reason you need to be eating that few of calories to lose weight. It’s too extreme of a calorie cut. You need calories for your body to function.

@vla246 - I see a difference every month! I measure my bust, waist, hips, arms, and legs. My arms change the slowest (which is so frustrating because they are what I hate the most!) but I’ll always see at least an inch or two of difference in my hips and waist from one month to the next.

I use the weight on the scale. Honestly, because it usually the lower one lol.

Stepped on the scale and realized I’d gained everything I’d lost from my previous weight loss attempt. That’s happened before but this time my husband and I have a set timeline for when we want to for a baby. It just really sunk in that I can’t keep doing this on and off dieting. I need to make a change. Now I’m 43 lbs…

Yup. I always take new measurements on the first of the month. It’s another helpful way to see progress.

I have water instead of alcohol. It’s never stopped me from having a good time with my friends. For food, I find that pre-logging my day helps me stay on track. If I know I’m going out I will look up nutritional info and decide what I want before we go.

Today felt exhausting. I didn’t get great sleep last night. But I got in my workout this morning. My mom was visiting today and I went with her to lunch and I’m not sure how many calories it was as they didn’t list that info anywhere. But I ordered a turkey sandwich and left at least half the fries uneaten so I think I did…

I measure/weigh everything that goes into a recipe. It’s a little tedious but it’s really the only way to know.

I did day 4 this morning. So far it hasn’t been too bad. The biggest challenge is choosing a weight for the strength moves. I always think I can do more than I can. I also suck at push-ups so I really hate starting with those:

If you feel like you have to starve yourself to lose any weight then you really need to consult with your doctor. MFP only “yells” at you if you are under 1000. You should be eating a minimum of 1200 to get all your basic nutrition.

Eggs are my go-to for breakfast. These are a couple of my regular breakfasts: - Scrambled Eggs: 2 whole eggs, 3/4 cup of egg whites scrambled with green chilies and red bell pepper. (220 calories) - Omelette: 1 egg, 3/4 cup egg whites, 100g mushrooms, 100g spinach, cooked in 1 tsp of coconut oil (236 calories) - Egg…
