20 net, some days I am way under and some days I go over.

I feel the same way. I have a lot to lose but I am almost half way there and I feel like I can't see it. Sometimes I think I do in a mirror but then I see a picture of myself and I still look so big. :( I just bought jeans 2 sizes smaller, I could have went 3 but my head couldn't skip to that. It didn't seem logical, it…

You look amazing!

You look amazing, do you mind me asking your height? Great job, such an inspiration.

7lbs until the lowest I have ever been on MFP. :) 7 yearssssss........

34.5 in 3 months. Never stopping.

I waited at least a month before introducing sweets to curb my cravings. Now I have 90% dark chocolate a couple times a week.

Me! I run a larger deficit during the week for

Same. Only .2 and I know exactly why, but it still hurts. Happy scales is helping me get over the fluctuations though.

I create a deficit during the week so I can have more freedom on the weekend.

I am surprised by the responses, while I am sure you agree that he is grown and can eat what he would like, he probably just doesn't understand that you are really having a hard time. I would have a really hard time if my hubby was bringing the stuff home for me too. He should be able to make some different choices/have…

Thanks for the link. I'm jealous of your job already. :) Do you mind me asking how long you have been losing & how much you've lost?

What should I aim for? I really only like chicken & red meat (which I limit).

That's a great plan. I'll definitely make a salad. Luckily I don't NEED to eat much because I've cut back so much. A slice or two, salad & red wine will still add up fast, but that's what I feel like I saved all week for. I don't know. I'm still so conflicted. You guys have definitely made feel better about the 3.8. I need…

I only drink socially/on the weekend and definitely can have fun without drinking, it's called Sunday thru Thursday. :) That's basically what my hubby does (and now me) but we take off Friday & Saturday evenings. I just can't decide if this is a.) safe to create a large deficit during the week to make up for it and b.)…

With two out of town trips, one being our spring break vacation coming up before Easter, I know I will drink so I guess I am an alcoholic by your judge.

No, not at all. I just wanted to explain my logging and my alcohol consumption was from 4pm - 2am. :) It's just not fair, I think it will take me some more time to learn to live with it. Haha. Thank you!

My hubby always points this out, but people have such a big aversion to alcohol that I felt it would just be argumentative for me to. He always gets Guinness. I drink vodka & water or wine 90% off the time.

Thank you. I do have a scale and know my weekly entries are right. We created the peanut chicken stir fry meal ourselves, for example. I do agree my restaurant ones are likely off. I really only drink vodka/water or wine. Planning is so hard, thank you for your response. I was truly hoping being more diligent during the…

Thank you. Last weekend was outrageous so I'm sure that's why.

I know my weekly meals are accurate because we weigh and create recipes but last weekend was a guess for sure. I just tried to over estimate but it was three different events (birthday at one place 1 - 6 oz glass of wine - 1 9 oz glass and an egg roll, 2nd birthday - 2 vodka waters and 2 shots of tequila and 2 fried…

That may be it. That was a date night (won a 4 course meal in an auction) and if course the restaurant wasn't on there. Hopefully this weekend is more accurate.

It was 8 weeks ago, but I know. I just feel like my 3.8 was water weight too! Not fair he got 8. :) I actually can do math but I seriously wondered if this was sustainable as long as I averaged somewhere close to 1200 per day for the week. It is really 4 low cal days and 3 higher cal days. What is the difference in hitting…

[/quote]I can see how people might think you are anorexic if you only eat 600 calories 5 days a week and exercise on top of that.[/quote] So helpful. Thanks.

Thank you!

I opened it.

I guess it is possible I am underestimating casing a 1,not 2 lb loss. I definitely over estimated my alcohol last weekend because I wanted to be accurate but eating out was hard. I just don't understand why this worked so well for my husband who dropped 8lbs in one week. That is not realistic, I understand that.

Thank you for this portion of your response. I am concerned what the risks are, which is why I asked. Tomorrow is my 3rd full week and I just feel like I should have lost more eating so little. Last weekend is a really bad representation because we had a 4 course meal date night & FIVE social commitments that centered…

Well that escalated quickly, I am now an anorexic unhealthy alcoholic. Thanks guys. I run 3-5 days a week, I have way more weight to lose than my hubby. I'm not comfortable sharing my weight, but I want to lose 60-70 lbs and I've lost 3.8 in 3 weeks. If I can figure out how to open my diary, I will. I really am eating that…

I'm so happy to read this. I really don't want to quit drinking. I only drink on the weekends and have switched to red wine or vodka water. I run a calorie deficit all week to fit it in.
