    My (kind of depressing!) weekly weigh in:

    To be fair, I ate too many chips (fries) last night, so I can't really expect anything else! Ha!

    TrendWeight is nicer to me though and my line is still sloping downwards! :)

    My partner just sent me this picture from our camping trip last weekend - I am going to use this as my before/motivation picture... UGH! Posting it here so I have a record... At least the scenery is nice.

    That's beautiful!! & you look great, don't be mean to yourself! I actually think you look about the same as I do right now at 165. I like trend lines, too. :)

    Thanks! It's crazy how we are so critical - I can hardly look at that picture of myself it bothers me so much - everything about how I look makes me cringe... :s

    Just read through your journal, you're doing awesome! I love your chart, so detailed! I'm writing my weekly weight in the back of a notepad and hiding it from my husband, ha ha. Oh, and by the way, I think you look great! Maybe not what you're used to seeing, I get that, I do the same. But I can't wait to look like you some day! :smile:

    You are doing great! Love the pictures. Don't worry about gains here and there, you will lose those.

    I like your graph with the analysis - did you write this or was it some sort of download?

    You do not look like you weigh 190+, you look great! I love your photos, what gorgeous scenery you had around you. :)

    No didn't write it - it's a free weight tracker graph website: www.Trendweight.com You really need a wifi digital scale that uploads your weight automatically (though I'm sure you can manually enter the weight too) - I use the Withings scale. It's awesome as it really gives you a clear picture of what is happening with you weight. It smooths out daily fluctuations - helps me freak out less over gains!

    Thanks!

    So I FINALLY got back down to the weight I was the weigh-in before last (9 June)...

    Note the nice gain on Saturday c/o the delicious Sangria (could also have had something to do with the food, though all I had were veggies and dip and a small portion of lovely Indian curry...). Was worth it though as my partner's sister and family were down visiting from Sydney and we only see them about once a year, if that.

    Then note the ridiculous loss of a full kilo overnight (2.2 pounds)... Crazy body, clearly a bunch of water weight floating around... :)

    And at least Trendweight says I'm still going down - even if the line's a bit flatter than I'd like and the goal date is now ridiculously far in the future - at least it's giving me a date (and at one point when I first started I think it was saying sometime in 2028... Yikes)!

    Your charts are cool. I use Happy Scale app for weight trends. I like seeing that view better than the EKG-look of my weight on usual charts.
    A year long tour of Oceania is on my bucket list as a dream vacation.

    Just quickly checking in.

    Weight has been EXACTLY the same since Monday (it's Thursday here...).

    Hoping my official weigh-in tomorrow will show a loss, if not, I'm going to have to actually start getting serious with tracking calories - shock, horror! (I've kind of dropped off with that over the past couple of weeks - coincidence with nothing happening on the weight front? I think not!)

    Absolutely slammed at work with deadlines and haven't even had the chance to update my spreadsheet or read anybody's updates!! Will have to break my no-screentime-on-the-weekend rule to catch up!!

    Hope everybody is doing great... :)

    Now that I'm on OMAD it would be really great to go camping! I love the camping pics. It would be cool to cook an OMAD meal outdoors around a camp fire. You can get as creative as you would like. You don't have to stick to the basic typical hot dog and hamburger. I would grill onions, mushrooms, as well as other veggies that are griller able. Then for the meat I would go with swordfish or sea bass.

    It was awesome - I usually majorly overeat when I'm camping. Junk food snacking all day basically. This time I probably ate too much for my one meal, but I just had the one meal. We just won't mention the booze!!

    Well, I'm finally 200g (0.4 lb) under my weigh in from two weeks ago... I'm not over happy with only losing 7.9 pounds in a month, but it sure beats gaining 7.9 pounds in a month, so I'll take it!! B)

    I am definitely committing to entering my food again and counting calories. I can clearly pack way too many calories onto a plate/into an hour!

    Anyway, at least it's going down... :)

    AND, more importantly I'm not feeling deprived...
