It's going to be hot tonight so I'm going to try to do some strength training instead of going for a walk. I have a ton of grading to do and the words are starting to run together.

I don't check my weight everyday, once a week is good enough for me, but I do use the food diary, check my newsfeed, make sure I comment or post something everyday. This is still new for me, I've only been on MFP now for a week, but I've lost 2lbs this week, so I'm happy. I am finding that I am becoming slightly obsessed with it...I log on several times a day to see how people are doing, if there is anything interesting happening with the Group I am in, etc. Mind you that is during the week though. I have to work on what I do on the weekends. Those are the hardest. This weekend I didn't log my food after I ate it, which I had been doing, I logged everything in at night...and wow did I go over my set limits on Saturday. Sunday was better and I was below my limits, but still not as good as I had been doing during the week. Anyone else have this problem? I'm debating actually finding a second job or volunteering my time to get me out of the house on the weekends to help avoid this problem.

Didn't happen last night. But today is another chance to try again. On the plus side, I did prelog. Using the app has helped because I can have my device right with me and I don't have to run back and forth between the kitchen and the computer.

I did weights last night! Lol it made me feel so weenie kind of discouraging but hopefully if I keep it up I'll see some improvement.

Need to maintain a pretty strong deficit cuz Saturday I'm going to a party and plan to let loose!

So.... 7 1/2 months and I'm back again. I remind myself of a diet book my mother used to have on her bookshelf. It was titled "how I lost 30,000 pounds. Of course, the story of the writer was that she would lose weight and then gain it back. I topped out at 222 this last time I fell off the wagon. I'm at 210 today. Renewing my plans to be down to 165 by the end of 2018. 57 pounds in 57 weeks. Pound a week. That's reasonable, isn't it? Already set my goal for 2019. MAINTAIN 165! I've installed a safety bar on the wagon this time. Supposed to keep me from falling off. Oh... and Happy New Year everyone!

Back again after being back again, and again, and again, and again. Nothing much has changed. I'm at 210 today after renewing my diet for the umpteenth time. Still want to be 165 by the end of the year. Still going to try.

My daily calorie limit is 1500. I'm on a 2-day streak!

Went about 80 calories over yesterday. No weight change.

Word of warning - Applebees salads are steeped in calories. Couldn't believe how many calories were in my grilled chicken salad last night.

Down a pound this morning! Woo!

Yesterday I weighed 209.2. I logged in here and checked the last time I "checked in." It was about 5 weeks ago and I was 209.5. So, I'm still losing weight. About a 1/4 pound a month it looks like. Let's see, that's 3 lbs. a year. At this rate it's going to take me 17 years to reach my goal. Well... they do say it's better to make a lifestyle change rather than binge and lose it, right? Hello...? Is this thing on?
