Yes, I agree it's great and I am happy. But I just started a new plan, and that's the whoosh you usually get when first starting out, so realize that the losses will not continue to be that good. I am happy to be getting out of the 200s though.

I'm up two pounds, but I believe part of that is due to constipation. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it! LOL

I'm also a little constipated, too, WBH. I am flabbergasted that I binged half of last week and am back to where I was last Tuesday WITH constipation! I think moving to OMAD may have been an even better decision than I thought!

Welcome, Warrior!

Well done, opheliaphoenix! Great losses :D

You're doing really well! (You beat me in challenges :devil: no, :hug: really!! :hug: )

Are you following a particular dietplan? I'm currently doing the 5:2 intermittent fasting, and it's pretty good and doable :)

If I could stop this bouncing I'd go down faster!

Welp, a third of the way through the year and I'm still on track. 13 pounds, 13 weeks. Yippee!! Here's to the next nine months! :)

Today is supposed to be my weigh-in day but I feel fat, so I'm postponing it til tomorrow. I don't think I can face another gain. I know that's cheating and I'm only cheating myself, but it's psychological. I am determined to stick with this thread the whole year.

Hope everyone is is doing good!

Starting out a bit late, but would like the accountability for the year.
I will weight in monthly (or more if I have progress) and typically weight in on Sundays.
3/3 - 164.5
3/12 - 163 - thought I'ld check in since I have made some progress. Hoping to continue the trend.
4/2 - 163
4/9 - 161 - I've had the flu, so hoping I can keep this loss and continue the downward trend.
5/7 -
6/4 -
7/2 -
8/6 -
9/3 -
10/1 -
11/5 -
12/3 -
12/31 - (my goal is to weight 150)

Wannabe, I like your determination. I also tend to yoyo my weight up and down. I tend to snack, which unhinges my loss, so need to plan for success better. What is the best thing you are doing for weight loss?

Princess, Congrats on the study loss, way to Go!

Ophelia, You are doing well, how awesome!

Brd, I like how you keep track of your loss for each month, inspiring.

Rosinante,What ever you are doing, it's working. Congrats on That!

Hi to Everyone and keep on losing.:)

Lots of awesomeness going on here, great stuff!

Next Saturday is my weighday!!It will have been a month of no weighing, so I'm hoping to see a good loss. The past couple of days have been a little less on target than usual, so here I am girding my loins for a good week leading to the scales!!

Good luck, everyone! :D

I had to think about that, Workinglikeadog. I'd have to say I am working on waiting until I feel hungry to eat. It's hard, because most of the time I eat when DH wants to eat, and often I am not hungry when I do that. I also snack mindlessly, not due to hunger.

I want to finish this challenge all the way to the end of the year. I notice a few people have dropped out already, and I don't want to be a drop-out. It's very hard to come here and face the music when you have not lost, or if you've gained, but in the long run, I think it makes you stop and think before you put something in your mouth, if you know it will effect the scale the next weigh-in day.

Good luck to you, and all!

Joining late :)

VickieLou thanks for starting :)

TOTAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR 2017:

It's certainly working for you!! :carrot:

I enjoy 5:2 (even today, which is a fast day. Honest). I'm thinking about trying 16:8, especially when I get into maintenance ~ and by golly, I Will make maintenance, one day!! ~ because I like the idea that it gives the body a rest. I'm a bit wary, though, because if I didn't concentrate, I could look at 16:8 as a challenge as to how much I could stuff in my mouth in a short window!! :D

i am 1000000% determined to get to my goal weight his year. i have been keeping a diary or all my weekly weigh ins since jan... my short term goat is to get back into onederland

Of course, if I get to the final goal weight sooner, that's even better :D

You are really doing great Rosinante! I showed a gain 2 months in a row. Hopefully I will get back on the horse.

Wow, I did a great job keeping up with this lol. It won't be hard to do better for June. ;) Unfortunately, not only did I not lose any weight since March, but I see that I'm starting a bit higher. I was 148.something on the scale this morning. Ah well, back to working on this! :carrot:

Yay! I love looking over everyone's results! It inspires me to keep going. Thanks to those of you who update- even if it's not regularly- I miss some but I try to write it down and update when I'm on! It's getting hot here in Texas. I'd love to be at 230 sometime in early august!

I've just started LCHF as a way of eating and I'm LOVING it. I cut out coke's and cut my fast food down immensely in May and went to only water and coffee. May 28th I cut the honey in my coffee and milk from my diet and went full low carb high fat. Much easier than I thought and there's great recipes. This is something I can do forever, and I will- with some oopsie meals apparently though! lol

I got some bad news yesterday and I went and bought Burger King- May be tmi but I spent all last night on the toilet with my head in the trash can at the same time. Last month I ate fast food 5 times I think. And it was all good and yummy and I didn't feel terrible until May 19th- I bought fast food and got sick that night and then yesterday- got sick again. I think I've learned my lesson- so here's to no bad food choices (or at least no fast food!) this month and maybe better weight loss as well as some exercise every week!
