Hi everyone,

I'm on a long delayed (re-weight loss journey) about 10 years ago I lost 115 lbs and kept it off until the last year or two where it's kept back up and now I found myself at 240lbs (previous high was 294). So anywho, I'm on day 4 tracking calories again and I was disappointed this community is inactive. I went back to Reddit for the first time in over a year and the reddit app is so bad. Ads everywhere.

So anywho, if anyone is interested maybe we can restart this community or start a new one if the mod here is gone. If anyone is interested let's share or stories, successes, tips and failures.

Edit: so cool to see all the comments! Thanks y'all.

    I'm here! I am not on reddit anymore, and I drop into the community once a week or so, but I usually read all the posts here.

    I started tracking my calories again about 3 weeks ago. I've always been aiming for 0.5-2lb/week loss, but I always ended up cutting too much when I hit a plateu, or drank too much water the day before weighing, and it wasn't sustainable.

    This time around, I've been only going off a weekly moving average for actually comparing my weight. Even though my daily weight can look really noisy (±2lbs sometimes) it's showed I've been tracking about 1lb loss per week pretty closely. I wish someone told me this sooner, I devoted way too much energy trying to lose 0.14lb/day
