Last couple of days near goal. Weight this morning concerns me a little, though I have made a med change and I guess I may be shedding water weight (stopped saphris and poking around the net it seems water retention is a common side effect). Now I am down to 175, which is about 2 pounds (I don't remember what the tenths were this morning) lower than 2 days ago and 4 pounds lower than 4 days ago. If this continues, I will get in to see my doctor. As strange as it sounds, I hope it levels off and maybe bounces back up a pound or two and I start losing slowly again. I also have been walking a *lot* more in the past week or so than I had been previously and I am not truly sedentary now, but that is what my calories are based on. It is probably just retaining less water and isn't "real" body mass loss, but still good news.

Nice job, bizi! 11.5 in 2 months is a nice healthy rate.

I'm down to 133.2 pounds, lower than my usual 137-ish. I've been dealing with a stomach flu for quite a few days now and I have barely moved, and not eaten much. Definitely not a healthy way to lose weight. Can't wait until I can eat more than bananas, applesauce and arrowroot cookies.

I'm losing again...Yay! But I'm taking Zyprexa now so the Weight loss might slow down or even stop... Sigh.

I still weigh 178. I will try to eat more calories this time. 1700 calories is much to low for me now.

I have not counted calories for three days. I'm just eating when I'm hungry and I'm not over eating. And I'm making healthy choices... And the scale is finally going down again! I quit the slim fast because the shakes just have way too much sugar in them.

Watch out for those sugar alcohols....they can give you severe gas and explosive diarrhea. I know from experience!!!!

I have had 2600 calories today. I made a dessert and had a couple slices. I had two and a half pancakes which is unusually large amount for me. I had a fruit yogurt smoothie using part Greek Gods yogurt for lunch, and two hotdogs from the local Circle K convenience store.

Since I no longer have a car, I will need to watch the amount of groceries that I purchase at any time. I hack to keep it simple. I will be taking Uber for this.

Yesterday. Came in a little low despite 3 good meals and ice cream with nuts. I have gotten a little too acclimated to not eating very much. I probably should have had some more pecans. Going out of town for the weekend and won't be able to track as accurately.

[99fairies]

Well, the whole not counting calories thing kinda blew up in my face. Not tracking calories makes it easy to over eat. So I'm gonna start again, but increase my caloric intake to 1200-1300 calories a day.

[UpDownAround]

I tend to err too much on the side of caution and eat so little it is unhealthy when I am not tracking. I was a few weeks into my diet before I started tracking and at first I did not change what/how I was eating, just started tracking to see the numbers. I was under 1000 pretty much every day, which is not enough. Now I am **** about it. I weigh every thing I can to the gram or tenth of an ounce. Last night I had 100 grams of vanilla ice cream with 14 grams of pecans. That was 306 calories; no guesswork. It was also quite tasty.

I weight 181 pounds. Here we go up and down. I will see what weight I am tomorrow for comparison.

[BPQuestions]

Ive seen a slight uptick in my weight since starting the meds. I eat very healthy so it will be interesting to keep tabs on it and see where it goes.

Going away for the weekend and won't weigh until Monday. Between last Sunday and Thursday I lost 4 pounds, which I think was water weight, after stopping saphris. My diet would account for under 1 pound lost over 4 days. So I am really interested in seeing what it is on Monday.

[hopeless2015]

Still logging in at 30 carbs and 1600 - 2000 calories a day. No changes in weight. That last bit of weight is not goingbto come off if I don't bring those numbers down. I ate a lot over the holidays and my appetite has increased

[CloserToTheMid]

I'm 2.7 lbs from my target weight which is 170. I've lost 29 lbs in 4 months.

[Tucson]

I weigh 182 pounds. I ate 2100 calories. Part of the calories came from a slice of banana cream pie at Cocos. A slice of that pie amounts to 750 calories. After having dinner, I am very full.

I indulged and went over my points by a lot today - however that was only because I had a decent amount of weekly points left. AND I didn’t completely binge. I had a small cheeseburger and small fry from McDonald’s for lunch and scrambled eggs and hash browns and three slices of bacon from the diner for dinner. I still have ten weekly points left for tomorrow and Sunday plus my daily points. I should be good. Weigh in Monday.

[Tucson]

Interesting to count points on a weekly basis. I will have to think about doing the same for me.
