As everyone else said, it’s the trend that matters rather than the individual scale readings. That said I have a Fitbit Aria and like the fact that it syncs to my phone and this app, and guesstimates body fat percentage and BMI, but I use it every day and track the trend rather than just the individual days.

Monday again! Happy Monday everyone! Apologies I missed over the weekend. It was my husband’s birthday on Friday so it’s been a busy weekend, a trip to the cinema, a meal out with friends where I was very good and made all sensible choices, a trip to his parents who live several hours drive away and then yesterday my…

I think weight loss is a really touchy subject for so many that now I just don’t discuss it at all, ever. Even if I get a comment about how I’ve lost weight I’ll just say thank you and leave it at that. I’ve found people soon lose interest when you tell them it isn’t a magic pill just calories in and calories out. That…

I asked this of one of my very good friends and all she said was, if you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up. I was pretty angry at that at first but when I thought about it, she was right. You don’t have to start over if you don’t stop and that’s the bit I hated. So I’m sticking with it and have been on plan for 4…

Hey, I started at the beginning of September at 322lbs and currently 304.5lbs. I’m also 5’4” tall and looking to get down to a reasonable weight under the 200lbs mark. I lost 80lbs last year doing MFP and then had a really nasty bereavement that knocked me off my wagon so I put most of it back on again. Here to do it…

Hi ladies, Loving the TP memes, it was chaos wasn’t it? Must admit I didn’t even think about the impact of people working from home suddenly as both hubby and I have been working from home for years but it’s a very good point. Those enchiladas look amazing. We have Hello Fresh but honestly I’ve always thought those things…

Second weekly check in for me, a day late admittedly! 27th September 14lbs down 5th October 15.6lbs down going in the right direction!

Hi ladies! Apologies I missed yesterday I had a crazy busy work day. Missy we too had the TP crisis here. People literally bought months worth and caused chaos. Made me laugh in some ways that toilet roll appeared to be the one essential nobody could live without! I think our fuel shortage is easing slightly, I needed fuel…

So I’m heavier than you starting and want to lose over 100lbs. I did MFP last year and lost about 80lbs but then fell off the wagon entirely after a bereavement so I’ve gotta go again. I started out losing about 4lbs a week, not because I was doing anything drastic, but because I was finally eating sensibly and moving…

Sara I’m decidedly envious of your being able to get in the car and drive somewhere. Here in the UK the BBC have caused a fuel shortage! They reported that garages were struggling to get deliveries of fuel. So all the idiots went out and bought fuel when they didn’t need to. The truth was that one fuel company had a…

Thanks Lana! Water walking was actually quite good fun so I think we’ll do it again at least until the end of the month anyway. Pool goes off for winter then. Too expensive to heat through the winter. Missy your dogs are absolutely gorgeous! I celebrated 15lbs off today by having my nails done in a lovely shimmering purple…

Happy Friday! Great news about Zumba, I’m hoping to try it when I can actually move a bit better. It’s very energetic isn’t it? Sara I hope your dinner was yummy no matter what the hour 😊 I’m just about to try water walking with two of my local friends. Apparently it’s supposed to be a good gentle way to start moving and…

Morning! Starting weight 322lbs 9/9/21 Current weight 307.9lbs Goal weight for October 295lbs 1st October 306.6lbs (-1.3lbs) yay 😁

Missy your dogs are gorgeous! We have hairies too but ours are English Settters. Very fluffy but maybe not as much as yours! Hope the foot doctor goes well. Lana I’m so heavy right now that if I went to my GP and asked they would probably give me a gastric bypass on the NHS, so I think at this point anything that gets the…

I’m in! I did these threads last year when I was here and now that I’m back on track I love the accountability of these threads. So embarrassing starting stats: Starting weight 322lbs 9/9/21 Current weight 307.9lbs Goal weight for October 295lbs Here’s to a good month for everyone. :smile:

Happy Thursday all! Thanks for the info about Pam, we have one cal spray here so I’m thinking it’s the same thing. It’s my day off tomorrow so I might give the quiche a go then. Delighted to report that I got my first stone (14lbs) gone this morning! Only another 8 to go! Lots of walking yesterday so no treadmill last…

Looks and sounds amazing! But what is Pam? I don’t think we have it here? Thinking it must be some kind of low calorie cooking spray maybe? Hope everyone has had a good hump day, I’m so glad tomorrow is Thursday as that’s my last working day of the week. Sara your co workers sound dreadful, I hope things get better for…

It’s taken me almost three weeks to lose 13lbs, but I’m starting much higher than you, I started at 322lbs and am currently 309lbs this morning. I eat around 1500 calories most days and then mix it up with one day at 1000calories each week. It’s working so far and I’m not feeling at all hungry which is great! I am drinking…

Amazing loss, you look absolutely fantastic. Well done! I also agree with the poster who said you don’t look like you were ever overweight! I hope I can do as well, I have about 150lbs to lose! Congratulations!

Daily here too. I know a little fluctuation is to be expected and it doesn’t knock me off track. I like having the data of both weight trends and food diary to compare along with knowing I retain water at certain times anyway. So every morning quick step on the scales and lots of nice data to follow. As long as the trend…

Morning! Happy to report that I dropped 0.7 of the 1lb I put back on so that’s a better start to today. Glad to hear the snotty one isn’t getting all her own way Sara! Happy Tuesday all 😊

That’s great, well done! I’m still in the early stages so it’s good to see others succeeding!
