Hmmm. I only can hold a max of 5 extra pounds of water weight. I think it is pretty unlikely that it is 13 pounds of water weight. That is surprising you don’t see much of a difference because you should have lost a whole clothing size.

Yogi, Tazo and Bigelow are my favorite tea brands. I generally drink them with nothing or a packet of stevia sweetener. I do like Chai with some foamed milk though.

I am 5’2” also. I find it takes my body time to adjust. I don’t normally see inch losses right off and then all of a sudden I can see a difference. What about your arm, thigh and hip measurements? 13lbs is a huge loss for someone our height! It came from somewhere. I bet your clothes fit better.

Hopefully your weigh in tomorrow is more like what you want. Maybe it is just water intake. Were your calories within range?

Maybe it was a little extra sodium or a few more carbs than last week? I get little spikes like that and then they are gone in a day or two.

I need to avoid the greek yogurt, the pies, and peanut butter. I dont know how to control myself around them. Also ive been eating 1500 calories above my limit lately... and today , I ate a whole cake.. this is embarrassing . Anyways, my goal is to get to 165 pounds by the end of January. I have 1 week left. I think I can…

I think a lot of us can relate. My best day to weigh in is Thursday, right before my Friday/Saturday weekend. I weigh daily but my Thursday weigh in matters more to me!

Tiding up the house always gets in extra steps. You could also find a workout video online to do. A pound a week is really great!

Wow! That is super quick! Congratulations on a 10 pound loss!!

Don’t be discouraged! It is a pretty quick goal. Even if you lose 5 pounds that is really great!

I get that! I notice my lowest weight last week and this week so far was on Thursday.

I love basically all veggies. They add so much color and flavor to everything. I eat various leafy salads and chopped salads. I add them to basically every meal. I eat round cucumbers for easy snacks. I love cucumbers and ranch. Veggie, meat and cheese omelets, veggie pizza, zucchini in my lasagna, chopped vegetables in…

I totally sympathize. My weigh in was heavier than I was throughout the week.

I have done C25k before. I found I need to repeat most runs 1-2 times before progressing. I should start this back up in the Spring.

Welcome! 10lbs makes a huge difference, especially if you are a shorty. 🧜🏽‍♀️

WTG! Any progress is good progress. I am way excited over any weight loss. My scale measures in 1/8 lb increments.

It is customary to give before and after pics.

I weigh in every morning. My official weigh in day is Monday right now because I am part of a group trying to lose 10 pounds by V Day.

3.2 pounds down in your first week! Fantastic work!

Wow! A 3.3 pound loss is a great start!!

I make a chicken and rice dish with broth, egg and lemon. It makes a nice creamy sauce. Also, you can substitute Greek yogurt in sauces that call for sour cream. That really helps a lot.

I find lower carb to be the most filling. I go with protein, vegetables and fat for a filling meal. Most of my meals are about 500-600 calories. Also, drinking water before and tea after helps.

Sounds like an awesome plan!! Count me in!!!!🖤💜 SW/current weight: 151.25lbs February 14th goal weight: 141.25lbs Ultimate goal weight 125lbs-135lbs Jan 5: 151.25lbs Jan 11: goal 149.25lbs Jan 18: Jan 25: Feb 1: Feb 8: Feb 14:

I think either 1) Put your settings at sedentary and add in your exercise calories or 2) Put your settings at lightly active but don’t add in your exercise calories. I have my settings at active and don’t add in exercise calories. I prefer this way because I have a more consistent diet throughout the week.

I think back exercises have smoothed out my back quite a bit. I would recommend back exercises.
