OP, this question has been asked, do you weigh and log all of your food and drinks [except water]? It would help if you opened your diary. :)

Ok. Im in. SW: 250 CW: 197.3 GW: 192.3 Weigh in Dates: Start of Month (9/01 Monday): 197.3 9/06 Sat: 9/13 Sat: 9/20 Sat: 9/27 Sat: End of Month (9/30 Tue):

SW (July 1): 208lbs July 5: 209lbs July 12: 207 July 19: 204 Jul 26: 202.8 GW: 203 lbs Well. I guess I did it

Amazing!

Chiming in! I haven't done every saturday so far because I was busy with exams. :( But this is how it went. SW (July 1): 208lbs July 5: 209lbs July 12: 207 July 19: 204 GW: 203 lbs Almost into onederland! :D

Stop obsessing so much over this. It'll be fine. 1500 calories a day is a perfectly reasonable target. Don't feel guilty for meeting 1500 calories. Make sure to get your macros in as well though, not just calories. Don't be scared :) You won't gain a bunch of weight right away if you go over your calorie goal. In fact, if…

Oh boy. I'd love to join, but define 'fast foods'. I eat small amounts of nutella or chocolate or homemade potato chips on a daily basis =p

I'm gonna leave this here for you. This is my last 30 days worth of tracking my weight daily. Look at those cute little squiggly lines of fluctuations! Don't worry about it too much. It will come off. It will go crazy like mine did. It will be fine. Just stay true to yourself, to your workouts, health etc. :) Edited to…

Absolutely amazing! Great job. :)

If you're tracking your calories accurately, then don't worry about it too much. :) It could be natural fluctuations, water retention etc... How much have you gained? It gets very frustrating, I know, but you just need to have faith in the process. Drinking lots of water and reducing carbs and sodium a bit will help the…

Calm down, it'll be okay! First, are you tracking your calories? How many are you eating? Weighing and measuring everything that you eat with a food scale? Eaten a lot of sodium packed foods lately? Have you recently started a new exercise or workout regime? Cause if you just started exercising it could be your muscles…

This is true as well.

Probably. It depends on your genes, how you carry your weight, how much you have to lose, etc... There are people that lost 100+lbs and don't have too much loose skin. There are others that lost less, and have the skin. Like, I know that I'll have a lot of loose skin when I lose the weight because I'm carrying mine really…

Ok, I'm in... stupid stalls... SW (July 1): 208lbs CW (July 5): 209lbs... GW: 203 lbs

Bumping for later read!

I hope that you realize what you are doing is not very healthy! If I understand you correctly - you eat gross 1200 calories, and you burn 500? That'd put you at a 700 net calorie! That is really really low. Don't worry about those 2kg! It's most likely just water weight, you could not have gained 2kg of fat in 4 days, that…

Wow - thanks you guys, I really needed that. Kim - I am totally in! I think a weight loss buddy is probably something that I need... :) About comparing myself now to before... I guess I'm a little better off than before, but not by that much... I'm still very overweight and I'm still very out of shape, and I still worry…

How accurate are you with your weighing and logging food and how accurate are you with your calories burned through exercise? If you are not losing weight, you are most likely not at a deficit. Opening up your diary would help us help you, too. :)

I'd like to accomplish not dying during my 10hr hiking trips on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. lol. Other than that... I'd love to finally see 94.5kg this week. It's been looong overdue. Water retention sucks.

I'm 5'4'' or so and I'm at 1370ish cals + I eat back a portion of my exercise cals sometimes... I do go over that goal sometimes so it's not like I'm way too strict about it I'm not sure if I'm doing it right but it's like - if I feel that I'm not feeling well or feel hungry or woozy, I'll up my cals a bit

Here's my 2 cents. only around 28 down so far, but this is what I've got... This would be current me talking to beginner me, years back when I tried all those stupid... things that restricted and never worked. -People aren't going to notice. You're not going to notice. You won't magically start shrinking and see it happen…

Another update! SW: 222 GW: 117 May 10: 220.4 May 17: 219.3 May 24: 215!!! (Actually, have been a stable 217, but today I saw 215! So very happy :) ) So a total of 6ish lost so far. (I'm scared of saying 7 because that number will probably fluctuate like crazy :) )

Update again.. SW: 222 May 10: 220.4 (Although it was still very fluctuaty) May 17: 219.3 (But it dipped down into 217.2 once! Hopefully by the end of the month I'll see that number again :) Still going goshdarn slow, it should be at 2lb/wk... But oh well, a loss is a loss!)

I'd love to join :)

That's sweet. Are hugs an option around here?

Yesterdays cookies, why did it have to be you...

No one's saying you're lying. I'm just trying to help you the only way that I can. The reason why I said it'd be a better idea to log everything in MFP is because that way, you can look back at your diary and see what you need to fix, or change, or etc. You can track your progress for the week or month or etc. It just…

I don't think mental track would be enough.. You need to accurately weigh and measure everything you eat that passes your mouth with a food scale, and log it here in MFP. How else do you know how many calories you're consuming if you're just estimating? Here are a few more links…

Do you weigh and measure and log everything you eat consistently?

Alright, here's an update SW 222 CW, May 10th 220.4
