1 month progress
I started Jan 1st. I'm 5'2". My highest weight this month was 164.4lbs and my lowest weight 161.6lbs. It's not much and it's too early to declare a success story but it's nice seeing the small progress. I had lost over 37 pounds in 2017 and gained most of it back. So now I'm working on getting back to my lower weight…

Extrovert and Covid-19 weight loss struggles
😔 So I'm gaining. I took a break from my 2020 new year resolution weight loss journey because of the pandemic. Staying home all day and working from home is just not ideal for an outgoing, very social extrovert. During pre-Covid-19, I would just get up and go and stayed active doing so. The constant movements helped with…

Restarted the 3rd time - 4lbs down so far
I felt like I hit a plateau or my body was just resistant or maybe I wasn’t doing a good job tracking my calories. I restarted my weight loss in September at 160lbs and didn’t lose anything in 2 months. I decided to give my body a break. I stopped all exercising and all food tracking from mid November to end of December. I…

Can I trust my new dial/analog scale?
My digital scale stopped working after 4-5 years of service. Such a tragedy. I tried changing the batteries and it didn’t work. It’s gone for good. I wanted to get another digital scale at my local Target store but all the negative reviews scared me. So I was frustrated and bought my first dial scale. Problem! When I…

A what point does the rate of weight loss slow down? 5,10 or 20lbs to your goal?
I'm curious if it varies based on your body shape and not necessarily how much pounds you have to lose. I still have to lose 17.5lbs to reach my normal BMI, but my rate of loss has decreased. Based on the threads I've been reading I assumed it's 10lbs remaining. I'm not sure why my rate of loss slowed since I still have…
