For me the danger mark is typically Week 5. Rationale : The first 4 weeks I am dedicated, focussed, disciplined since I am so looking forward to the outcome at the end of the month (how much did I manage in the first month)...and that outcome is generally pretty decent because you tend to lose faster when you start a…

Hi Everyone, Thanks for replying !!! Great to so many August joiners/re-joiners... I'll be posting from my experiences onto this thread. Would be great if all of you did likewise. Regards, Turin

Thanks all for your wonderful responses !! What do you all feel about goals : do you think it makes sense to have less ambitious goals to start with? At present, I am planning to reduce about 2 lbs a week. Do you think 1 lb per week would instead be more achievable and put me on the success path?

Hi Folks, Couldn't drop in my weigh-in results at the beginning of this week...buried deep in work. I didn't have anything really great to report on the weigh-in anyways. Lost 1.1 pounds last week (no brainer, given my alternate week pattern). I'm still trailing behind my targets on a cumulative basis, though. Hoping to…

Hi I'll tell you something I do. Once I reach home, I see my son and then I never have the heart to pop out again for a walk when I could be spending time with him. What I do instead is that I get off from the cab about 3-4 miles before my house and walk down the rest of the way. That way, once I am home, I have no…

Hi All, Found the new thread. Had my weigh-n this morning and my alternate week trend continues. Week 5 I had lost weight, hence week 6 was doomed from the start :smile: I actually ended up putting on 1.6 pounds :mad: Of course, the statistical trend was helped by the fact that I did overeat and under-burn my calories last…

Thanks Jaymie !! Keeping my fingers crossed :wink:

Hi Folks, Weigh-in time again - this time I lost 3.85 pounds !! So, here's the trend so far - Week 1 - 3.25 pounds lost Week 2 - 0 pounds lost Week 3 - 3.37 pounds lost Week 4 - 0 pounds lost Week 5 - 3.85 pounds lost Interesting - this means I'll lose about 3 pounds every alternate week, if the trend is to be believed…

Hi Folks, I had my weigh-in this morning and the scales didn't move ...yet again :frown: I am having a proper swing pattern in my diet since I started. Week 1 I lost 3.25 pounds, Week 2 the scales didn't move, Week 3 I lost 3.4 pounds, this week again the scales didn't move. I've been trying to make some sense of the…

Hi Folks, Looks like my weight loss plan's working fine. I did my third week weigh-in today and was down by 3.4 pounds. This week I stayed close to (under, but close to) the daily calorie goal, but didn't get as much of exercise time as I would have liked to. I think it's just a consistency game. If we can stick to the…

Thanks EEK, NewBeginning

Hi Folks, I've been on MFP the past two weeks and just wanted to say hello and join in. My first two weeks were so-so. The first week I lost about 3 pounds and the second week, predictably, the scales didn't budge at all. :mad: To be fair, the second week was a bit of my bad - travelled and had some parties to attend.…
