Well, my weight went down slightly even after eating and drinking so much last night. My high weigh in yesterday was clearly a water retention issue or something, so I guess I dropped a bit of that water, but am still higher than Friday. The body works in mysterious ways.
I bought a George Foreman electric spiralizer yesterday (I had a manual one but never used it because it was such a pain in the *kitten* to use and clean - all the part of this one can go in the dishwasher and it's fast and easy!) so tonight I'm going to make some zucchini noodles. I will try to remember to take pictures of meal...

I think you were smart to forgo having the margaritas, I can't imagine the effect on me especially I had so much wine first! Lolol
I was right about my damage from yesterday, my 9:00 am weigh in was 177.2. Lol
We will totally hang out one day!! Not sure when my next conference in Orlando is, but it's got to be in the next year or so (I know that's not super close to you, but we love a good road trip).
You ARE the weight predicting Oracle!!
Squeeeee! You know, if we ever did meet, I'd have met two women from Australia, in real life, that I met online. How freaking cool would that be? If you were short on time, I'd be willing to drive there or we could find a halfway point or something. Of course, if you didn't mind an old home in a blue collar neighborhood that's always in a state of home improvement, you'd have free lodging.
Lol, I'm dying over the oracle!
You might be disappointed in me then - I have a boring Canadian accent... Darcy on the other hand is a 100% Ozzie true blue bloke, so he might make up for my shortcomings in that department...
We don't even have a bathroom upstairs right now... I am ashamed to even mention how long that bathroom has been "getting renovated"...
We won't even talk about the missing sink in the bathroom downstairs. We are not good at finishing jobs - there is always something more fun we can find to do... 0 -
So I admit I'm a total nerd and also use Happy Scale to track my weight. I was just looking at the chart it produces and because it calculates the moving average differently to Trendweight, it shows a very different trend line. It actually shows me as pretty much stalled for about 3 weeks in June. What I find super interesting is that the resumption in a downwards trend correlates almost exactly with when I started to fast "clean" and removed milk from my coffee, stopped drinking diet soft drinks and stopped chewing sugarless gum... I'm not sure if that's the cause of the trend or it's just a coincidence, but it's interesting nonetheless...

Perfect! That's us, too! Lots of things started, but not finished because, you know... a lot of fun things and life stuff to do over 20 years in the same house. :-)
I'd love your Canadian accent! We could go "oot" and have a great time, eh? Make sure we apologize to people who bump into us and everything! Haha

I've wondered what happened in July because your chart showed a clear change in rate of descent.
If you made a number of changes I don't think it's a coincidence. I do believe fasting clean works better.0 -

Lmao!!!
BTW, I agree with Jim that clean fasting does make a difference. I honestly could never go back to any other way, myself.

Yeah, I sometimes have a Pepsi Max in my eating window now, but not often (tbh, I prefer a glass or two of wine!), and considering how much of the stuff I used to swill down over the course of a day, it's pretty amazing to me that I rarely touch it now. I actually used to have a secret stash of Pepsi Max that I kept in my office, because I'd get super annoyed if the rest of the family finished it off and I didn't have any. Addicted much?!0
-
So I hit a new low today (just...) and even Trendweight says I'm in the 170s finally. Hopefully this time it sticks!

Thanks Barb!
I can't find that Ribera del Duero here - I did look the other day and they didn't have it. I will keep searching though... 0 -

Agreed! I think it'd be a blast to all hang out together! Too bad y'all are halfway around the world!

No worries Sarah as they say over there... if you have a Rioja then you are all sorted!!!! Aussie wines are great too... I remember my times in FernTree Gully outskirts of Melbourne and Dandenongs going to Aldi to get some ...gosh I forgot the name...LOL! some wine!1

So I am having serious doubts about hitting my August goal of 174!!! Scale ticked up again today... I did have a rather large meal last night - sweet chili udon noodles with veggies (plus my usual peanut butter, apple and various other things as I cooked). So good. I am really loving the meal delivery service. I actually kind of enjoy cooking the meals because I don't have to do any thinking or planning or shopping whatsoever!! I just pull a bag of ingredients out of the fridge and start chopping...
Oh and Trendweight has pushed my goal back to February now, sigh... Weight loss definitely seems to be slowing, but as long as it keeps going down, it's all good...

Trendweight, schmendweight. I have no idea what this trendweight is doing. It looks like a clothesline with all your good data hanging off it by threads. Always too high, going who knows where. I can't begin to guess what this algorithm is. Certainly nothing I've ever worked with and I make my money as a mathematician! I think you can safely ignore it.0
-
Hahaha! I'm a mathematician too! (At least, one of my degrees is a math degree, I do data/information analysis/coding now...)
I think Trendweight uses some form of exponentially smoothed moving average. The trend definitely lags a bit (obviously), but on the whole I think the algorithm is pretty good. It definitely keeps me sane when my weight bounces around - as long as the trendline is still headed down...
And actually I just realised I haven't updated it properly - it's using my weight from first thing this morning, rather than my "official" after I have coffee weight!! (Every ounce counts!!)

My weight has been yo-yoing like crazy the last few weeks! Up again today...
For dinner last night we had Quesadillas made with a kidney bean, cheese and spinach mix, with a lemon Greek yogurt dressing and a salad for dinner. This meal kind of disappointed me as a meal service meal as it's something that is so easy and I always have all the ingredients and make regularly, but I guess it's pretty good that it's the first meal I've been annoyed about! I HAVE to get into the habit of taking pics of my food! I am always half way through eating before it even crosses my mind!

Lol it took me a while to get in the habit too! Practice makes perfect m'love! We just love da food too much *crying laughing face* (there was no proper emoji for that lol)0

Your graph looks like an olympic downhill ski race course. Too bad about the meal service. Can you not pick the meals you'd like? I think the grocery stores should copy the idea and implement it in store. I made fajitas tonight and oh boy was it a mess. haha. Hope you have a nice relaxing night.0

There are only 3 vegetarian options a week, so we just get all of them... It was fine, I'm just being a b1tch about it! It really is the first time, I've been like, this sucks! Having said that they were delicious, what's not to love about Quesadillas... Ummm... NOTHING?!1 -
I'm dying over here about the laugh/cry emoji! That's me, too!
Despite the daily fluctuations, you're still doing great, my friend!0 -
YASSSSSSSSSSS those 180s are gone FOREVER! My "official" weigh in is tomorrow (I'm going for the 96 hour boy this week) and LORD HELP ME if I'm not in the 170s!1
-
Which meal kit are you using? I know of a few with more than 3 options, though I don't know if they are available in Australia. I used to use a couple of them, and they were great!0

We are using Hello Fresh right now and I think I'm also going to trial Marley Spoon after I get back from a work trip at the end of Sept.
I have really enjoyed the whole experience so far. Makes my life so much easier and I'm actually enjoying cooking now... Unfortunately for veggie options you can only get 3 days a week, but that actually works out pretty well for us anyway as we always end up going out at least one day a week and sometimes more. Plus we need to have pizza at least one day on the weekend... 0 -
Up on the scale again... I actually feel smaller though - go figure. Hopefully a whoosh is going to come along soon, because Trendweight just made my trend line horizontal!! Rude!
Looks like it might be a zero-loss week this week (unless I somehow lose like 3 lbs by tomorrow)... Plus we are going out for dinner tonight, so there will be salty food!

I whoosh right before weigh in all the time! Hopefully you'll get down to where you wanna be - @wsandy8512 Sandy, any predictions for our Sarah? 0
