What's your weight loss pattern?

I posted this in today's NSV/SV thread but I thought it would be interesting to hear how other people lose weight. I finally figured out last week that my weight loss follows a pattern: the weeks before and during my period I don't lose anything, I sometimes go up by a pound. The two weeks after I lose about 2 lbs per week. This averages out to the 1 lb per week loss that I eat toward. It is such a liberating feeling to have figured this out!

Is there a pattern to how you lose weight? How long did it take you to figure it out? Have you had to make any adjustments to your diet and/or exercise routine since discovering what your pattern is?

Weight loss jealousy? Losing friends?

How do you deal with strained friendships due to weight loss jealousy? One friend has gotten crazy nasty to me over the past year. Nothing really has changed in our friendship, aside from the fact that I've gotten much more fit and look pretty different. Ive had to deal with backhanded compliments a lot and how I'm obsessed with dieting and fitness. I am careful to never talk about dieting or working out in front of her, as I know it probably triggers her own insecurities with being an overweight woman. It's gotten increasingly worse though. This weekend at the bar a few men ended up buying me drinks and my friend was so upset that she wasn't getting attention, she ended up storming out of the bar and later even wrecking her car. My other friend later confided in me that she'd been gossiping about me all day. I don't have issues cutting people out of my life, but I kind of struggle how to handle this. If I cut her off it will strain my relationships with other friends that our part of our friend group. But I also didnt think I'd get so much backlash from something so personal as improving my health.

Very frustrated. What's going on?

I started counting calories in September and had lost 60 lbs by February. Since I was doing so well, I decided to add exercise to my weight loss program. I chose walking because I have a dog and she can benefit from that as well.

Ever since I added brisk walks to our day, my weight has plateaued and even gone up. I had got down to 265 and now I keep yo-yoing back and forth from 266 to 268. I know it's only 2 weeks but it has me very discouraged.

I was so excited. Yesterday I reached 10,314 steps and then this morning I weighed 2 lbs more than yesterday.

I have been faithfully weighing and logging all food on MFP. I don't eat back calories from exercise and I routinely drink 96 oz of water a day.

What gives?

Today's Discussion: On Falling Down, and Getting Back Up Again...

The fighter doesn't become a champion by never getting knocked down, the fighter becomes champion by getting back up and fighting some more.

To win at losing, we have to keep going. Life is complicated and it is impossible to always do everything right. Winning, therefore, is not perfect performance, it is persistence.

Have you been knocked down? Are you having trouble getting back up again?

Do you have advice on being persistent? Do you make fallback plans? How do you deal with trouble in a way that puts you back on track?

Everyone is welcome to participate. Please share your troubles and tips in the comments below!

23M Second major weight loss (75 pounds), this time it stays!!!

http://ift.tt/1R7oTHs

When I was 18 I lost about 80 pounds(even posted here), then, over the course of a dew years I gained some muscle mass and a lot of fat. An year ago I decided to call it quits and started a new diet and training program.

First 6 months were selective eating. I only ate chicken breast, eggs, fresh veggies and some small amount of nuts/olives, olive oil to cook with and fruit. Then I hit a plateau at around 84 - 86 kg and wouldn't drop any less. Then I calculated my macros and now I eat everything I want, as long as it fits them.

I train 7 days a week, but I do give myself a rest day here and there. During a single week I train with weights 4 times, I do sports 1 - 2 times, and 2 - 3 times HIIT.

Cheat days? Once every two weeks I make a FUCKING PIG out of myself. And I truly mean it, every Sunday I wake up at 6 - 7 am, eat some chocolate, finish sleeping, eat whatever the fuck I want during the whole day, on cooldown. I go to bed at 2 - 3 am, so it's a nearly 20 hr cheat day.

Also, I do fasting, which is TL;DR I eat after 12 - 13 h and try to train before that.

Any questions - ask away!

P.S. Pls, ignore the clutter in the pic.
