I actually lost 1.2 pounds this week (my real initial weight when I joined was 146.8). Here's my usual routine, though. I get sloppy weighing and logging my food. Sometimes I get so involved in life that I forget to keep track of what I eat. I also tell myself I eat all healthy food, so I can slip past just this one time. Really? I don't think so.
But this whole process is a matter of sticking to the habit of weighing and logging no matter how discouraged I get. I forgot to log a lot of food last week and probably WAY under-counted my calorie intake. It's all a re-training, re-learning process. Also, when I don't eat breakfast, I pay for it by late afternoon ready to gnaw my own arm off. It's SO EASY TO SLIP BACK TO OLD HABITS!
I recalculated my RDI to the next higher activity level and got a whopping number (another 500 calories per day). I don't see how I'm going to lose much if I eat that many calories. How does that work, anyway? As it is I'm only losing .2-.4 pounds per week (patience isn't one of my virtues).

Losing 0.3 kg a Week
24 January 2014
I only weigh in once a week. I can't take watching the scale numbers fluctuate (I guess people who buy stock are the same way). It's just not healthy for my nerves. One more day and I have to face that little window between my feet.
I did an hour on the elliptical today, got a little sweat going, but I don't trust the calorie count on it or the one here that recorded my burn. It's probably half or less in reality. I don't count any exercise calories except the ones where I'm telling myself, OK, now I'm going to exercise on this machine or this walk for X amount of time.
But I always tend to undercount my calories and over-count my burns. The truth is, I'm having difficulty accepting the incremental losses that sometimes get stuck on one number week after week. Losing half a pound or less a week is frustrating, but at least it isn't a half-pound gain.
The longer I re-train my eating and exercise habits, the more I see how this thing is going to be a long slog that has to last the rest of my life. I've never been a fan of fresh vegetables. But my diet is really, really simple. I eat no processed foods whatsoever. I eat all freshly prepared everything, as close to its natural state as possible.
I lead a very dull life. I don't like alcohol. I don't smoke. I don't eat "snack" foods. But sometimes I go over my calorie allowance (right now it's roughly 1284). Tea with soy milk and a tablespoon of honey is my "vice" if that's what you can call it, but I only allow myself one cup per day of caffeinated and sometimes another of decaf.

Learning how to use this site...not sure how it works yet. Lots of features, but not all of them are easy to use or access at this point. Trial and error. All in time. Not going to the gym today. No motivation. Really cold and windy outside, so even a walk isn't that attractive. I want to go to bed and pull the covers over my head. At least then I wouldn't be opening the fridge door.

I have hypertension and take two low-dose medications for it. I eat a really spare diet (no dairy, no eggs, no grains, no sugar - except fruit and a little honey - no desserts except I allow myself an occasional tiny square of dark chocolate.
I have dropped 20 pounds since September. Still 20 more to go. Exercise is a challenge for me. I used to be a runner and I LOVE high-intensity workouts, but they send my BP sky high. The doc said my hypertension is genetic, which is another way of saying diet, exercise, and de-stressing won't bring it down. I don't want to believe that.
So far no heart problems or all the other stuff you get with hypertension, and I aim to keep it that way. But it's so frustrating to want to really move my body and I can feel the pressure build inside my head, and I know I'm flirting in the danger zone. Challenges. We all have them, right?

Eat exercise calories or don't eat exercise calories. That's the question.
