12 week update. Real weight loss goes up AND down

[kibskix]

Well hello my lovelies! This list chronicles every week from the day i started till yesterday, which is 12 weeks total. I'm putting this up here because a lot of us are easily discouraged, and have a hard time seeing the big picture. I know I do! you get this idea in your head that that scale is going to go down every single day consistantly, and when it doesn't we freak out. I want people to see that the little stalls and misteps don't mean a thing in the big picture as long as you keep at it. All the fluctuations are normal. Heck look at mine! some of them are just ridiculous, and this isn't even counting the daily fluctuations. But then look at my average. Its right where I want it to be at nearly two pounds a week.

Start - 226.6
week 1- 216.4
week 2- 216.3
week 3- 219.2
week 4- 214.4
week 5- 211.4
week 6- 213.2
week 7- 209.2
week 8- 208.0
week 9- 208.0
week 10- 207.8
week 11- 205.2
week 12- 204.0

Total loss- almost 23lbs
Overall weekly average- 1.9lbs a week

p.s. nothing to do with this, but i just noticed that this was my 1,000th post! I'm an admiral! *whips out big fancy hat*

I'm so glad you posted week-by-week and averages. You're so right, we can get very easily discouraged. Thanks!

Way to go, Admiral!

you know whats silly is i generally posted my weights every day or so on my fitday, but i never really went back and looked at it week to week to see just how weird my weight loss pattern is. i get all bummed out when i get stuck, but even with the stuck days (and sometimes weeks) my big out-of-nowhere drops even it all out.

That's great! Thanks for posting.

PS Fitday will graph your weight for you too.

You've done really well I can relate to your weight loss I have had ups and downs like you too I guess as you stay on the diet the weight loss slows down.Keep it up your goals around the corner the rate your going.Good luck.

its just how my body lets go of it i guess. i'll lose a big chunk of weight over a week or two, then pause for a week or two. i've currently been at 204ish for i think a little over a week, so i'm expecting some kind of drop soon i hope!

You are too cute, lol - I like the big fancy hat I love that you show your progress and its SOOOO true about how people shouldn't see the day by day results - Instead look at the BIG PICTURE - it really shows the true progress - Congrats to the weight loss and the official title of *ADMIRAL*

ROCKS MY SOCK
