re: BG's Biggest Loser!!!

It's been one week of being on my hypothyroidism medication, and I've lost 3 lbs!! Not much of a difference from a month ago when I weighed 152.5 lbs but a good amount to lose in one week. Gives me hope

even getting below that 50 feels so good though, I bet. I plataued at 290 for a good couple of weeks, so once I got to 285 I almost cried.

Down 18lbs! Wish it was more, but I will take it!! Half way to my first goal.

that's amazing! Keep it up. I gained a few pounds back. Got depressed for a week on the anniversary of my father in laws passing. But I'm back on track now.

My pants that I wasn't able to buckle 2 months ago fall off! I can pull them off without unbuckling!!! WHOO HOO!! You have no idea how happy this makes me! I still have soooo far to go, but I am so happy to finally be able to see a little bit of results!

Yay! That's great!

So has anyone lost any more weight? I'm back to only having lost 11 lbs. My weight keeps fluctuating because I keep going out of town and not getting the exercise I need or eating as good as I should be. I'm happy to be home.

I keep gaining the 3 lbs I lost, then losing it, back to gaining it. I don't know what to do, and don't really know what's going on :/ My weight just fluctuates so much in a 24 hour period.

For best and most accurate weight weigh in the morning naked after you pee. I am the same, I have been bad about my eating lately.

That's when I weigh myself and it still fluctuates so much. I am terrified to step on the scale again, it's been about a week. I get so discourage when I see the numbers go up or stay the same.

I do too. I wish I had self control to only weigh in once a week. But I don't. And the sucky thing is, if I do go up, I feel like I might as well eat what I want. GRRR I need to get over that!

That's exactly how I feel

It is bad. I am a way emotional eater, and I know I need to stop, but I can't.  

I see progress, I eat, I don't see progress I eat. It is a vicious cycle.

I know it's hard, but it's best to wait at least one week each time you weigh. Your weight usually does fluctuate on a daily basis. One of the best things you can invest in, if you're interested, is a heart rate monitor. The way that you lose weight is by burning more calories than you eat. You can track how many calories you burn while working out by tracking your heart rate.

Also, have you been measuring yourself? I might have lost some inches? I know I've been losing more inches than weight. I'm not as happy with not losing the pounds, but at least I know I'm losing something.

I'm the same way. But honestly the working out is so addicting and when I work out, all I can think about is how much I don't want to just waste all that effort I put into working out.
This might be disturbing to some people, but this guy is really what inspired me to lose weight.

It makes me cry every time I see it.
