    05/23 178.6
    05/24 176.8-- Maybe I finally lost the water weight after eating movie theater popcorn!! Nice surprise this AM.
    05/25 180.6-- My car broke down and we ordered out-- Chinese food. I stayed within calorie limits so I'm sure that this is just water weight... I hope!! My menstrual cycle just started so that probably has something to do with it.
    05/26 178.6 ughhh to period cravings. I played with my brothers (3 & 7) for an hour and fifteen minutes and it tired me out!! Instead of eating half a pizza, I ate a coconut popsicle to ease my cravings. I hope that this will pass and I will have a nice surprise on the first!
    05/27 178.8 Come on man :( Feeling discouraged today. I have been eating so well compared to a month ago. I ate pizza for breakfast(eek).
    05/28 178.9 just biked to work. Drank a bit much last night...

    05/23: 138.4

    05/24: 140...Went to a concert last night and ate crappy plus I didn't exercise. That's a recipe for a disappointment. I knew I was going to weigh in a little bit more this AM but I'm feeling a bit bummed out. Also feeling motivated to eat much healthier today though! When this semester is over with I know I will have much better control over my eating this weekend, once the semester is over.

    05/25: 139...feels better. Came in under my calorie count yesterday and chugged water.

    05/26: 138.6...Came in 200 over my calorie count yesterday because I went to a party and I didn't pay attention to what I was eating. I don't really have many excuses now that the semester is over and I did well. Oh wait, a family member is having a birthday party tomorrow! *facepalm*

    05/27: 140...no surprise here. So let's just say I'm pretty famous for baking and my family always asks me to bring something to whatever gathering we go to. And I'm a big sampler of my dishes. I haven't eaten sweets in so long (because I'm literally addicted) that this morning I felt sick and a little bit hung over when I woke up.

    05/28: 140...still not a surprise. I ate some more sugar yesterday. And I'm not talking about one bite. Also I was at a birthday party. So far today has been better as it is all gone from the house now.

    This is just what I need

    5/23 138.2 lbs
    05/24 138 lbs
    05/25 138.6 lbs not sure what has happened here thought I was good yesterday, also did 10000 steps and half hour yoga. Hopefully the scales will shift the right way tomorrow. Better start logging my food to make sure I'm being as good as I think.
    05/26 138.6 lbs was doing so well until the babies had a rough night due to the heat. Had three chocolate Brazil nuts. When I saw the calories I wished I hadn't. Will know for next time. Seen someone had a good loss due to drinking lots of water. Off now to have a huge glass of water to see if that helps. Something's got to
    05/27 137.2 lbs whoop whoop and I'd been naughty yesterday but had drunk lots of water and spent an hour gardening.
    05/28 137.4 maybe the naughtiness is catching up.

    I feel like my scale is super inaccurate:(
    I weighed myself 4 times, 3 times it came up as 149.2 and once it was 150.4?? Not a huge difference, unless you're tracking your weight!!!

    05/23 150.8
    05/24 149.4
    05/25 150.2

    Starting weight (5/22): 204
    05/23: 204. I’m not expecting to lose weight quickly at this point, so I’m just trying to stay below maintenance every day and see what happens. I accomplished that today.
    05/24: 204. I ate more calories than planned, but I attempted to make up for it by doing extra exercise. Not a bad day overall.
    05/25: 203.5
    05/26: 203.5. Ate below maintenance calories and had a good weight lifting session. I also worked outside for a few hours, so that should result in a large calorie deficit for today.
    05/27: 204.
    05/28: 204

    05/24 245.8 Just started back after gaining and losing for many years. I really think this is goind to help me. I haven’t used the community boards much. Is there a way to edit past posts instead of a new post everyday?
    05/25 No weight. On a short vacation so I didn’t get to post yesterday or weigh in this morning. No scale. I only weigh first thing in the morning because my weight seems to go up and down during the day.
    05/26 245.4 My WOE is -1800 calories eating what I want. I will be lowering calorie count as I lose pounds. I want to do 1800 for at least three weeks. I have been told it takes three weeks to change a habit. I have tried most of the current diets and need to find what works for me. Thanks for listening.
    05/27 245.4
    05/28 Away from home- no scale. Stayed on calorie goal Saturday & Sunday. will weigh in tomorrow.

    5/22 - End/start weight 137.0

    5/23 - 136.8
    It has begun. Haven't maintained under this weight in 3 years. Feeling anxious.
    5/24 - 135.8
    I don't trust this. My scale was spazzing out.
    5/25 - 136.2
    had another scale spasm but trust this more. Also my morning weight. I wasn't going to make it home in the afternoon before eating a meal to see weight after finishing up burning last night dinner calories.
    5/26 136.6
    Could say it was the strawberries and nutella but I know better. I've hit my plateau. This is the point I usually get discouraged over indulge until I hit 140 lbs and start all over again. My willpower has already started cracking. To stay on track this weekend will be tough.

    5/27 - 135.2
    TOM ended. Went over DL almost 300 cal but I had deficits during the week. Indulged in kfc, pizza, ice cream and chips(all within moderation). It was a good day.
    5/28 - 136.2
    Went on a 5 mile hike. Have a feeling this is water weight. But it will take a while to break 135lbs anyways
    5/29 - 135.2
    Fluctuating? Family is here for a week. Hope I manage to at least maintain

    I'll give this a go. A little public accountability is not a bad thing at all. As it happens I do weigh myself every day (almost) and take measurements on Mondays. My scale is a digital one that logs to the half pound.

    When I came back to MFP 7 weeks ago I weighed 300 lbs. I've weighed myself almost every day, taken measurements every Monday, and recorded my food & exercise every day. I'm also keeping track of days since I last had alcohol, since I know only too well that drinking (besides being empty calories) always leads to eating that has nothing to do with being hungry.

    Day Weight Comments
    05/22 288.5 lbs. Weight has been "flat" for a couple of weeks and I need to jump-start moving the scale in the right direction again.

    05/23 288.5 lbs No change. I put a beady eye on the excess carbs
    05/24 288 lbs Nice to see a weight loss. Also met my current daily walking goal and controlled my carbs
    05/25 287.5 ibs More weight loss. Also met my current daily walking goal (just hit it) and controlled my carbs, though I was concerned when we had pot roast for dinner as I ate potatoes. I avoided the temptation of the garlic bread with dinner, and the salt and vinegar potato chips my sons left out on the kitchen counter.
    05/26 287.5 lbs No weight loss. Blew my calorie count. Blew my carbs. Short on my walking.
    05/27 287 lbs A small loss again. Calories were blown but not carbs. I more than made up for the extra calories with extra exercise. I got to 10,000 steps a few minutes before midnight. I've started keeping track of steps in the exercise freeform window. One more "do it every day for accountability" item. I am off to the Simi Valley Cajun and Blues festival today. I shall be diligent watching what I eat, walk around a lot, and also avoid the beer tent.
    05/28 287 lbs No change. It's a holiday weekend here in the states...hopefully I can do no worse than maintain the status quo.

    Well my post on Saturday didn't upload and I didn't check in yesterday so it was a bit of a fail this weekend! Both days were about the same - was on the see-food diet and drank a fair bit of wine. Scales reflecting that today.

    05/23- 65.3kg
    05/24- 65.0kg
    05/25- 64.8kg
    05/26- 64.6kg
    05/27- 64.0kg (scales at my partner's house which are always very complimentary)
    05/28- 65.2kg
    05/29- 65.4kg (sigh)

    Weight from last round 52.7kg
    Goal for this round 51.5kg

    05/23 51.7kg one good thing abouth weighing myself every day is that I can correct my mistakes quickly, yesterday morning I was 52.7kg after drinking and going to restaurant at the weekend. Yesterday I tried to eat well, went to the gym and all the excess weekend weight came off! Yay!
    05/24 forgot to check my weight
    05/25 51.7kg
    05/26 51.5kg
    05/27 51.5kg This weekend has to be better than last one, no eating crap and no alcohol
    05/28 51.0kg
    05/29 50.9kg this weekend was much better than last one, I have only 1.9kg to my overall goal weight. Yay! Almost there and just in time for Summer! Then I will have to work out how to maintain without constant calorie counting...

    I'm in!
    My perfect weight is 58kg, though I can't bring myself to loose those extra 2kg I have, because whenever I loose 1kg I get comfortable and start to eat and then I gain like 1.5kg. I want to keep a track of what I eat/do that make me loose weight and embrace it so I won't have to worry about future fluctuations.
    I think it's better to take this task 10days at a time :smile:
    My starting weight is 60.1kg :blush:
    Let's start the countdown (hopefully)
    05/29 60.1kg

    This is so good for me mentally - knowing others are also working to reach goals and sharing about it - and physically - keeps me working towards getting in better shape. I'm starting at 150, my goal is to reach 148, or less, after the next 10 days. Here we go!

    05/23 150 Have a Chia Seed pudding chilling in the fridge: 1/2 cup 2% milk, 1 c water, 1/3 c chia seeds, 1 scoop quest chocolate milkshake protein powder. Been seeing these sorts of concoctions for a while so thought I'd give it a go. Low cal, carbs and high protein. This amt should be good for 3 servings. Entertaining my sweet tooth.

    05/24 149.2 Yeah!!! I've been hovering around 150 - 152 for a month and finally broke thru. Now to head to 148. At 71 years losing is more challenging for me then when I was younger - it is for all of us. Avoiding processed foods and sugar just makes me feel better and even if it takes 'til the end of the year to reach goal, so be it.

    05/25 149.8 I will celebrate the fact I'm still under 150 and accept the elevator ride that seems to be my body's weight. Had some wine last night so maybe water? Worked with trainer yesterday, my last one for the package I bought, sob, but will continue on as I had my second knee replacement in Dec and need to have the muscles supporting legs/ hips, etc strong. Last night while falling asleep, I was thinking how long it has taken me, since late February, to lose 13 pounds. I'm only averaging a pound a week despite weight training 3x week, 6 days of cardio a week and keeping below goals for cals and carbs. Looked at that way it seems an awfully stingy loss rate. Then, I realized something. 2 more pounds and I'm at 50% of my weight loss goal. Yeah me! Perspective is so important.

    05/26 149.6 45 min on ellip and way under on cals, a little on carbs. Feeling good in the body. Know what I mean? Feel stronger and lighter. Not so much gut. LOL Today is gym day. Have appts so may not get in ellip. We'll see. I wish everyone a successful day filled with self loving choices. One of mine? Egg whites with a tbsp of cheese for flavor. Maybe some hot sauce. :) Life is good.

    05/27 150.2 Not bad considering I blew it on carbs yesterday. Nothing junky but someone gave me some honey mangoes - unbelievably good and then a hot dog with most of the bun. Confession is good for the soul. :) Weight training but got in no elliptical yesterday- too busy and tired from phlebotomy to reduce iron levels. Today, at least an hour on ellip is in my future as well as some pre-planning meals so I stay in range for carbs. Netflix has some exercise/dance, etc videos streaming. I might check those out.

    05/28 149.2 Yeah! Ate really clean yesterday, stayed well within goals and walked on track at Community Center 2.5 miles. Feeling really good about it all.

    05/29 149.2 Waaattt??? Seriously upped my workout on elliptical and well below goals, all clean food. I'm counting half a bottle of stella artois here. Almost a week and not even a pound. Come on, universe! Today's another day.

    05/23 - 141.8 (a bit too close for comfort!)
    05/24 -140.8 (5k run yesterday)
    05/25 - 140.0 (weight training day yesterday. Nice surprising drop again this morning - although I suspect this is mostly water weight. I decided to concentrate on getting enough protein this week - something I'm not very good at usually. I've done really well so far, but, in order to keep within my calorie total, it's been at the expense of carbs - I read somewhere that 1g of carbs binds to 2g of water, so that'll be why the sudden drop in weight! (It does make you wonder what our 'bodyweight' actually ever is really?!) I've already had enough of tuna, chicken and eggs though - they're making me feel so full! And so thirsty! Not sure I'd be able to keep this up long term.
    05/26 -139.2 (YAY! - finally broke through the 140 barrier! Really pleased with this. Determined to keep it up this weekend. Have a good one everyone)
    05/27 -138.6 (weight lifting yesterday, going for a 10k run this morning, but have friends over for tea this evening so hoping to keep within my calories for today. I WILL BE GOOD THIS WEEKEND!)
    05/28 - 139.0 (not bad at all - did my best 10k ever yesterday and didn't go mad on the wine! Weight lifting and core conditioning this morning)
    05/29 - 140.0 (my weight normally fluctuates up after a weekend - I blame the high sodium Sunday lunch - but this isn't as high as usual so I'm really pleased. Back on it today!)

    05/29: still 140...headed to the beach thru 6/4. The area is pretty walkable and so I will be taking advantage of that plus I have done research on places to eat ahead of time (you have to since a lot of the restaurants at this particular place mainly serve fried dishes).
