Mini goal Motivation is to lose 3 lbs. Get back at my lowest weight this year. I was 132.2lbs and gained three lbs for 135.2...135.2 isn't so bad but I rather be back at my lowest. Where I had a bit less fat. Can see where I gained it. Which is of course in my belly for the most part.

Your own numbers are your best data. Don't doubt yourself. @cmriverside Thank you :)

LOL, how would you propose to know the difference? @cmriverside I wouldn't know actually lol. Didn't think that one out.

You'll have to keep stepping on that scale and adjusting, more than likely! That's what "maintenance" is - a five pound range up or down - - - forever - - - :neutral::lol: @cmriverside Is that five pounds of fat or five pounds of fat, water,and waste?

@cmriverside Don't get into over-thinking mode. You know what to do. Log food, step on the scale, keep moving. Adjust. Oh yeah, I'm an over thinker by default haha. Yes I'll just keep do what I do. Thank you for the insight. Me and you have similar stats(Excluding age). You just walk quite a bit more than me. I think it's…

@loulee997 You shouldn't be absolutely starving unless your walk is more rigorous than you think. (Yes my walk rigorous it is) Also, unless you are on a low-carb diet, try having a 'carb' snack before or after the walk instead of protein. Carbs break down to energy quicker. So your body may feel less hungry as it won't be…

@loulee997 I'm betting you are underestimating how many calories are being burned on your walk. I was thinking that too.I just don't know where to start. With finding out how much I burn.I do have steps app. It estimate steps and calorie burn. Idk how true that is though. hmm underestimate burn and then maybe I'm under eat…

Yes, I'll keep this in mind.

@kshama2001 My diary is public now

Thank you : )

Going to the store to try on new clothes. Im surprised to find out I’m a size 6 and no longer a 10.

I do something slightly similar to you. I stick to my calorie deficit. 6 days of the week, Then one day I eat maintenance calories. My calorie goal is 1,452perday for -0.5lbs per week. I'd increase that by around 400 for 1,852. once every week or I have another method. Which is less similar,Where I eat an average of an…

@deepwoodslady Fat do fill for certain. when I started to purposely add fat, Losing fat became easier. Especially with me being a lower weight than before. Yes full fat things are high calorie. However they are worth it in the long run.

Yes it is, once I switch from carb breakfast.To a high protein breakfast. It set the tune for a more successful day.

My mini goal right now. Is to be 128.0lbs. It's going take me a while. With me already being quite light. At 133.1Lbs. Aiming for -0.5lbs per week. When everyday isn't as great. can't tell at times if losing fat every week(Masked often because of small losses).This is going be a slow -5.1lbs. I'll make it there eventually…

I made it to mini GW of 135 and now i'm below that. I'm 133.7lbs, I'm onto goal of losing 5 pounds more. For a weight of 128.7lbs : ). Remember everyone to stay patient and be discipline. Hold what you learn along the way. like me taking note.. that protein isn't the only filling macro nutrient... Fat do wonders as well.…

Back again after a one month break. I did gain two lbs. From 133.8 up to 135.8lbs. Lost the gained fat the month that pass(August). Which bring me to 133.7lbs. I'd like to be 130lbs by the end of this month. However I'm going to be realistic. I'll aim to lose 2.0-2.5lbs this month. Hope for everyone to reach their goals.…

@AnnPT77 What's filling is going to be somewhat individual. Did you figure out that meat was filling for you by experimenting with various options, and settling on that? Expand the range of experiments. (Yes) Only high fat meats fill me up. Lean/low fat meats tend to leave me hungry all day. As a situation a few days ago.I…

Thank you : ), I'll try all of these too.

@sherrilynn1985 I have tried a little tofu before. Maybe I'll try it again. To experiment more into it.

Thank you All for information and sharing your experiences .They are insightful to me. I have 7.8 lbs to lose. I choose 0.5 lbs per week. To be on the safe side.
