02/09 - 228.6 Yesterday i had a regular smoothie for breakfast at 6 am. I couldn't eat again until 6:20 pm due to work commitments. I was so busy that I couldn't stop to eat. If I had consciously decided to fast, I would have focused on food and failed. Yet because I was focused on getting through all my tasks, I looked past the hunger (which was not as bad as a normal "can't think until I eat" day) and for once food was not THE priority. I can look at this "experiment" a few ways. 1. All my life I am mentally unchallenged so food relieves the tedium. 2. Food is a fuel not a reward. 3. I can control the times I refuel by need and not desire. 4. Get passionate about life and not endure until the next scheduled fueling point. * I am addicted to flavours hence the doorway to overeating. If I like the flavour my brain goes "more please". Chocolate, stewed meats, homemade bread, peanut butter and cheddar cheese, cake and baked mac and cheese. Sigh.
So let's see how busy I can be today. I don't work on weekends so major challenge here.

8/31 - 132.1 I am the epitome of a yoyo for the last 2 months. I have to believe that if I want the loss bad enough, I will do the right thing. Obviously, I am not going to reach 130# this month. I leave tomorrow and return home to my regular scale. I will be interested to see what it reads
But it's not just about the numbers!
9/01 - 131.7 on the road today and no scale tomorrow
9/02 - no scale. I will be home in 4 hours and back to my comfort zone for habits (exercise and eating). Looking for that 130# and then my ultimate goal to get below that!
9/03 - 130.8 back to my scale at home.
9/04 - 130 At the gym. Back to my routine. Things are looking up.
9/05 - 130 staying steady. But have not been logging. A little afraid what tomorrow will bring. But hoping my workout mode will help me and tomorrow I will log!
9/06 - 131.6 no surprise here. The stress of Hurricane Irma and living in So. Fl is not helping. along w/not logging. I am trying to refocus and stay on track. Was at the gym this morning. Eating has been fair, but I will log!
9/07 - 131.6 Hopefully will get better...
9/08 - 130.8 I am good with that for this round.Finally below the 131 mark at the end of a round. Bring on round 16.12 -

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31- 229.0 - hopefully the 230s are gone for good. No exercise last night because I was exhausted. Stayed under calories though.
9/01- 229.8 - I hung out with a friend last night and binged. Hard. I'm going to attempt to put something in my diary, but I'm not entirely sure that I can account for all that I ate last night. I feel pretty gross this morning as a result. But - I'm still under 230 and today is a new day. Going to push water because there will undoubtedly much bloat from sodium.
9/02 - 228.4 - new low! Guess I didn't do too much damage after all!
9/03 - 228.4 - I'll always take staying put over the yo-yo.
9/04 - 227.2 - Wow! I really didn't exist extra that at all! We will see if it holds.
9/05 - 227.0 - I already hit my goal for this round! Wow. I'm glad to see that my efforts are finally producing some real results. I just want to make sure I don't start losing too fast!
9/06 - 227.0 - I'm good with hanging out here. Still amazed. Just going to keep doing what I'm doing since I know it works.
9/07 - 226.6 - Alright. Clearly my body is just shedding weight now. I'm OK with this. Keep waiting for the yo-yo.
9/08 - 227.2 - Moe's for dinner last night. It fit in my calories, but I have feeling there was a lot more sodium than I usually have; also have added some jogging intervals in my walk the last two days and am a bit sore, so there could be some water retention, too. Still good with this number though! My average has me at 226.6.

44-year-old female
This is my first round...
Sw- 141 lbs
This round goal - 130's
UGW- 120 lbs
8/31 - ugh ! 143. Lbs - why?? Why did I gain? I'm going through a bad flare with my Hashimoto's. Makes my joints hurt terribly. But been measuring everythingI eat and everything is non-gluten and organic. I have increased my water intake and get my exercise in. Boo hoo!
9/01- 141.6 lbs - did no exercise at all yesterday as I somehow hurt my back. Can't even take a big breath.
9/02 - 141.6. Hubby and I went to dinner and a movie last night. I ate 1800 kcal yesterday, didn't get my steps in and didn't work out due to my back injury. Back is doing better today, so I'm going to take the dog on a nice walk and start my day off right! Morning ya'll!
9/03 - 141.6. Omg! How can I have three days of the exact same weight?? Got my steps in, my water in, and, light weights for back as it's recovering from an injury. Walked the dog for 30 minutes through our hilly neighborhood. Ran 20 minutes on the treadmill. Then I crazy-danced for a bout 10 minutes because I didn't want to stop moving because I LOVE early 90's dance music. Then abs and back workout.
Downfall is the actual hunger I've been feeling. Not cravings, actual hunger pangs and growling. It is very difficult to ignore. We ate dinner early yesterday 4PM, because I was hangry! It was BBQ ribs and veggies. It satiated me for about 2 hrs but then I was getting the hunger pangs again. I ended up going to a new local restaurant and ordered a small molten lava cake (of course they had no idea of the nutritional value except that was gluten-free. So I just did some searches and went with what looked like middle of the road for kcal. Then I went home and had some gluten-free, organic corn chips with salsa. I ate very healthy first 3/4 of th day though.
9/4 - 142.4! Ok, I'm trying not to be upset. This is where I think weighing every day can be harmful. I feel like I did everything so great yesterday, yet I gained .8 oz. I measured and tracked everything single morsel/drop that I ate/drank. I ate just over 1300 kcal. I worked out very hard yesterday, I am pleasantly sore in just about every muscle of my body. I really felt like I had a near perfect day. When I saved my diary, it actually said if I kept up a day like yesterday, I'd be down to 131-something in 5 weeks.
Now, we did eat dinner late last night. About 8:30 pm as we were at church late. I did get up earlier than I normally would today and weighed as I need to take a longish nap today because I work a 12-hr shift tonight starting at 7p.
As I said, I'm trying not to be upset because otherwise I feel good this morning and am proud of my eating and workout accomplishments.
Ok, eta. Just looked at my diary and I did consume too much sodium yesterday. Probably not where I should be with my protein either. I will try to improve this today
Also I really didn't have any hunger issues yesterday.
9/5- 141.2 lbs. weighed really late because I worked last night and slept today until 6pm. Just about 8pm now and about ready to go back to bed. Lol, last night is taking me a bit to recover from. Too many mommies wanting to go into labor on Labor Day
9/6 141.2 lbs. Went over with my calorie count yesterday. And had no exercise and very little water because I slept all day.
9/7-141.8 lbs. Well , I guess my goal is just not going to happen this round. I felt like I did awesome yesterday. I worked out ate below my deficit, drank my water yet I still gained. This just goes to show you (well, at least me) that it's not just what the scale is saying. Or whatever, lol. I feel healthier and in much better shape than I have in years. TMI but I'm on the verge of TOM. So, maybe that's why the weight gain. I've never paid attention to whether or not that affects my weight. I know it does for some women but I guess I'll test it out.
9/8-140.6lbs. That's better. But I didn't do much at all yesterday due to headache. By the time I started feeling better, I decided to drink the rest of my calories. Ugh.10 -
Goal weight 130
Round 14 SW 142.6
Round 15 SW 136.6
Goal for Round 15 is to log my food every day and hopefully get to 134.
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 136.4 - Ran for 4 miles
9/01 137 - 45 Minutes circuit training at the gym
9/02 136.2 - No exercise but lots of walking around a theme park
9/03 137.8 - Ran for 10 miles. Yesterday was a calorie disaster. Was at a theme park with $1 days on all the junk food + Chinese food for dinner. Have planned out my meals for today and will eat some of my exercise calories and not worry about it because the 10 miler burned over a 1,000 calories.
9/04 138.6 - Did a 3 hour hike with friends and family. Ate my exercise calories and even so was out of calories before dinner so I just quit eating for the day.
9/05 138.6 - Ran for 3 miles. Have my meals planned out and for the day. I really feel like I'm just slowly backpedaling here as far as the weight goes.
9/06 138.2 - Circuit training at the gym for 45 minutes. Stuck to my food plan yesterday until the end of the day when I noshed down on an Almond Joy, a Skor bar, and a huge slice of ice cream cake. DOH! My husband brings home bagfuls of candy all the time. And I was so hungry in the day yesterday. I think I'll have to eat some of my exercise calories to avoid binges like that.
9/07 137.2 - No exercise. Just felt like a rest day for once! Yesterday I consciously tried to drink a glass of water every hour in the day. Wow, I was peeing like a race horse! I'm typically really bad about drinking water and live in a constant state of dehydration. Today I've planned my meals out. Have been busy running around doing errands so haven't felt hungry yet. Not going to meet my goal weight for this round, but I am on the right path and feeling determined.
9/08 136.6 - Well, I'm at least back at my starting point for this round. If I end a little under this I'll call that a win. Did 45 minutes of circuit training at the gym and have my meals planned out for the day. Yesterday was a good day. Hunger pangs didn't kick in. I think it helped that I was busy all day and really didn't have time to pine for a snack. I'm making a conscious effect to keep drinking water.

SO this has helped everyone....to weigh in everyday? I've been working on healthier options for about 2 months now and yes I am down but last 3 weeks has been a see saw on the scale. It frustrating as hell since it is a MAJOR mental breakthrough point for me as well (haven't been under 300 lbs in years and last 3 weeks I have went around 304-301 back to 303 to 301.2 to 301.8 (this is today's weight) etc.) Been clean eating and lots of water (which has never been a problem with me). Also running and lifting 3 times a week and heavy bag boxing 2-3 times a week. Both days between 600-800 calorie burns just from the workouts. Daily weigh ins I believe would drive me nuts. I noticed yesterday the next tighter notch on my belt needed and I feel better, just curious about this daily thing. Is it more for accountability daily?2

I'll definitely have a better round this time!
SW: 210
CW: 185.6
R11 SW: 193
R12 SW: 189.4 - lowest for R12 was 188
R13 SW: 189.8 - my lowest for R13 was 187.
R14 SW: 187 - lowest was 184.6
Goal for R15: I'm not sure what my starting weight for this round will be since I haven't weighed-in for a few days so I'll just say I'd like to lose 1.5 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 - 185.6
9/01 - 185.6 Well at least I'm consistent. I'm surprised at this number because I feel super bloated and heavy. Plus, I didn't eat very good yesterday and didn't drink enough water. I totally expected to be 187 or so this morning. I'm excited to see the scale go down once I get rid of this water weight!
9/02 - 184! Umm what?! Well, happy birthday to me! I got on the scale totally thinking (in a snarky sarcastic voice)..."ok here we go..187"- insert eye roll too - my jaw hit the floor when I saw 184! I ate a calzone at 11:30 last night too so I was expecting a gain..but nope! And yes, I stepped back on that scale mutliple times to be sure! Hahahaha!! Let's hope it stays this way. I'm guessing not because we have some bday activities planned that involve food...so yeah.
9/03 - 185.6 I knew that I'd be higher today because we went to the a food festival for my bday and ate a lot! Good news is I got my 10,000 steps in yesterday...bad news is I feel so hung-over, not from alcohol but from the lack of water and all the carbs and sugar!
9/04 - 187.8 Ugh I gave myself way too much leeway with eating yesterday and didn't drink enough water. I wasn't even going to get on the scale. Lol! Here's to a better day! I'd love to see 184 again by the end of this challenge!
9/05 - 188.9 - Nooooo...definitely the wrong direction but it must be water weight because I certainly didn't eat very good over the weekend but I didn't eat enough to gain THAT much weight!
9/06 - 185.6 Much better! I drank a lot of water yesterday and stayed under my calorie and carb goal. This seems to be number of the week. 4 out of 7 days! Hahaha!
9/07 - 184 again! Whoohoo! Let's see if tomorrow will bring back 185.6. I'm hoping not!
9/08 - 184 - I was hoping to see a little loss but at least I didn't gain anything. I drank a lot of water yesterday, went over my protein goal, stayed under carbs but I didn't eat enough calories. I ate almost 1100 but with exercise I only net around 600. Not good but I didn't log until nighttime and definitely didn't want to eat much at that time because I knew it would likely throw the scale off. I'm trying to not eat after 8pm! Have a great day everyone! I enjoy reading all your comments ♡

People are doing so great! I'm jealous that so many are reaching their goals for this round. I definitely am not as far as weight, but I've been happy that I've been working out and have lost a pants size. Keep up the awesome work! Maybe next round I can join everyone else with an actual lb loss.
You'll get it! Keep on doing what you're doing and it'll happen! When you have less weight to lose it usually comes off much slower and is more difficult. Be proud of the work and commitment you're putting in!
P.s. per your weigh-in post - I totally gain water weight around my TOM and also mid-cycle!6 -
@junodog1 I hope everything works out and Irma misses you. How scary! Glad you're prepared though!4

Second round for me. This round will be a challenge itself as before my period I have irrational cravings. If I get through them without gaining weight then it will be already a complete challenge!
R14: start 61.3, end 60.9, average, 61.0 (-0.4kg)
R15: goal 60.5 kg (New Goal 9/04: get under 61 kg)
Ultimate goal: 57 kg
8/31 61.0 - cravings started yesterday evening. I I went out to meet some dear friends, ordered salad and water, but still felt hungry after that. Then ordered nachos (boo)! Thankfully that the scale showed only +0.1kg . Hope I can start running soon, as I am healed from last week's cold.
9/01 61.1 - chaotic day, had a lot of stuff to do. I ate when I could, and what I could find.
9/02 61.2 - chaotic day #2. Felt very tired and ice cream was my friend in need.
9/03 61.5 - Darn, last night I ate out, a little bit too much bread, but my oh my it was goood! The kind of food that is worth the extra weight and 10km it needs to loose the wieght.
9/04 61.4 - NEW goal for this round: get under 61. I am still happy to be in the 61s as 66 was my fiend for a while.
9/05 60.7 - HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Glad it did, though
Ate some cake yesterday, and french fries, so -0.7 kg it's a miracle..
9/06 60.7 - held yesterday's weight. 50minutes of swimming, 2km running (came up after 2 weeks break when I was sick, and could not run more).
9/07 61.3 - cravings before my period starting to kick in. Hopefully will keep the 61.0 by the end of the round.

Round 14Round 14
SW: 147.6
End of round goal: 146
Goal: Get to mainstream by the first of the year!
8/27 147.6 ~ (Steps 18,495 Miles 7.36) ~ Today's my sons birthday......Yesterday I was able to get a nice morning walk in plus hit the gym in the evening since it was too hot outside. I had to push myself to hit the gym, it did pay off in the scale, yay! Another pound off, I'm trying to lose the 5 pounds I gained from vacation,
8/28 148.8 ~ Yesterday, since I didn't get ANY exercise in plus my sodium was high, I have a gain. I didn't over eat though so my gain is only a pound. Yesterday's, was a success in my books!
8/29 148.3 ~ (Steps18,169) Miles 7 ~ I was hungry the whole day but was able to stick to my dairy, keeping my sodium low. I decided to try getting a workout before getting breakfast. Last night I had to alter my menu since my husband got off late from work. On the plus side a couple workouts during the day helped.
8/30 147.9 ~ (Steps 19,101 Miles 7.7) ~ Yesterday went well with goals, I was able to get a couple workouts at the gym. I switching up though, having my protein drink after my first workout. I need to focus on more fruits for snacks, after vacation, I'm having trouble incorporating them into my diet. Not at my goal for this round but I'm ready for the next round!
This will be my 2nd round, too
End of R 14 147.9
End of R 15 goal: 143
Day/Weight/Comment:
8/31 146.4 ~ (Steps 28,910 Miles 7.75) ~ Yesterday I was able to get a couple workouts in plus a morning run.... My vacation weight is starting to drop off, only a couple more pounds..... Consistency to no late night snacking is the key
9/01 147.9 ~ (Steps 20,039 Miles 8 miles) ~ I don't understand the gain, I was able to get a nice workout last night plus my sodium wasn't to high. I also ate under my calories allowed so I'm really disappointed with the gain. I did have some watermelon last night but that shouldn't matter.
9/02 148 ~ (Steps 15,232 Miles 6) ~ We went to the Spring fair so my diet wasn't like it usually is, I was able to stay under my calorie goal, making smart choice. I also got a workout after the fair.
9/03 148.5....147.9 ~ (Steps 17,547 Miles 7) ~ Again with the gain, doing everything right, I log everything, stay within my goal, sodium is low, get my water in. I'm going to try dropping my intake to see how that works!
9/04 148 ~ (Steps 15,435 Miles 6) ~ We ended up going to dinner last night but I was able to make healthy choices, in fact taking half home for breakfast today, with such large portions
9/5 147.4 ~ (Steps 17,376 Miles 7) ~ Spent most of the day getting ready to head to my daughter's for the week. Met all my goals for the day.
9/6 I didn't have time at my daughter's in the morning
9/7 148.6 ~ (Steps 12,787 Miles 5) ~ All around good day, just ate late so weight was up!
9/8 148 ~ (Steps 24,548 Miles 9.75) ~ I was able to get some nice walks in with my grandkids and daughter. Our dinner consisted of a grilled spinach salad. Today going back home so tomorrow's weigh in will be with my scale.

I'm back!! Starting a day late on this round, we returned from our road trip last night. Much food I normally don't eat was consumed (think Poutine, Smoked meat, crepes...LOTs of wine LOL) so I know most of the reason I'm way up is that. I kept my breakfasts and lunches lighter so I could splurge at dinner....
So here goes 9 days of trying to get rid of the water bloat so I can see what the real damage was.
SW in March - 182.4
GW- 150 - I think I will re-evaluate when I get there...I'm not sure I'll be done...
Day/Weight/Comment
8/31 - no scale
9/01 - 157.4 - Results of our trip to Ottawa and Montreal. Also TOM started yesterday so this is a double Whammy. Going on a trail run this morning and will drink lots of water and get back to my regular meal routine.
9/02 - 156.8 - starting to shed some bloat. I already feel better being back to my routine for just one day.
9/03 - 155.4 - chipping away at the bloat
9/04 - 153.6 - many trips to the bathroom yesterday...shedding the vacay and TOM gains. I doubt there will be much more "easy" loss....but getting back on track with some meal prep and routine with the boys starting back to school tomorrow. Want to get to my 150 goal by the end of Sept, hopefully sooner.
9/05 - 154.0 - low energy and didn't do well with getting my water in yesterday.
9/06 - 153.4 - I have a feeling I'm going to bounce around a couple of lbs for a bit then then whoosh it out. Great day yesterday! And I've already got my run and an express kettlebell work out in today...feels great to get back into a routine with the kids back at school.
9/07 - 153.0 - chipping away
9/08 - 151.8 - YES! I think all the vacay/TOM bloat is gone...and I've started in on the real gain from my trip! Trust the process...getting back into routine really helps. Now to not let it all go as we go into a weekend. Hockey evaluations start for my boys so I'll be at the rink...say no to the fries, say no to the fries LOL

8/31 - 194.4 I ate very late last night and the night before the 192.7 weight I had eaten almost no dinner. Timing of meals impacts the morning weigh in, but not enough to make me go hungry. I had a nice chuck roast that came out of the rotisserie right as I walked in the door at 9:15. Medium rare, just a little crispy on the edges, fresh sliced tomatoes and a little mashed potatoes on the side. Yum. And still in calorie limit for the day.
9/01 - 193.6 Busy day yesterday. Did not get to exercise. Worked until 11:00. (Usually I am a nine to fiver-er.) This may be the food description round for me, because today I want to wax eloquent about Popeye's Fried Chicken, which I have found I can eat in moderation. I split a breast between lunch and dinner, and I still have a chicken wing for my lunch today. Surprised the sodium in the side and biscuit did not send me up, but I was very diligent on a high water intake. Actually I do not have to write about fried chicken because someone already has: Ode to Fried Chicken
9/02 - 193.6 I am surprised by this. I expected to be up a little. I'm not complaining mind you. Quite a disappointing day yesterday as there was nothing magnificent to eat. Leftovers and snacking. Not very good fodder for a food description themed round.
9/03 - 193.6 Worked all day yesterday. I'm in the office now. I thought this was supposed to be a three day weekend for us in the USA. I did have a yummy Greek salad yesterday and healthy snacks of tasty little cherry tomatoes and watermelon chunks. When I went home I roasted up some chicken thighs with cumin, cayenne and cilantro, sides of corn and broccoli. Food is good. If today goes as planned I will have something for you tomorrow.
9/04 - 193.6 Four days in a row same weight. I know my scale will not change the weight read out if the variance is just a little. I wonder how long I can keep this going? Often I get my husband to step on the scale, just so it will give me a fresh reading as his weight is higher and 'resets' it. In delicious food news, last night I went home from another weekend day working in the office
and cooked up a lovely prime rib. Tried a new method. Roasted it at 500 degrees for 5 minutes time the weight, then left it in the oven for two hours. Do not touch the oven door; leave it closed. It worked. I had a perfect medium rare rib roast. That will be a large part of dinner most of the next week as it is just DH and I.
9/05 - 193.8 Horrible day yesterday. No magnificent foods at all. Spent the day helping my daughter clean her apartment, change rooms and move in a new roommate, then I went to the office and worked. Not only did I not have a three day weekend, I did not have a weekend at all. (Whine!) Considering that both my meals came from drive thrus, I will not complain about my scale weight today. We are preparing to be prepared for Miss Irma if she decides to stick on her path and visit us. Hope you all have a good day.
9/06 - 193.1 Yesterday was not a bad day considering how much time I spent on storm prep. Got a run in last night at 9. Breakfast was a wonderful yogurt parfait with berries and granola, had a half banana mid morning, and lunch was a salad with lots of veggies, turkey and asiago cheese. Yum. Had a sliver of Sunday's rib roast for dinner with some nuts. Weird food combo, but tasty.
9/07 - 194.2 If I still had an official TOM I'd blame it on that. Oh well, it takes a little time to recover from bad behavior. Had to travel about an hour away to storm prep an in-laws house last night so was to bed late with no proper dinner. Great repeat of breakfast and lunch from the day before tho. Waiting too see what IRMA brings to the middle of Florida.
9/08 - 194.7 It was my daughters 23rd birthday and we went to join her for a late dinner. I stayed within my calories, but restaurant food.... I could taste the saltiness difference. I just don't use it that much at home. (But I feel like I am salting things like crazy. Must be the awareness factor. ) I will probably sweat it out today moving everything loose outside to a secure location so it does not get picked up by Irma and shared with a neighbor's window, cow, car, etc. See you tomorrow! (Sunday too - now Monday that's a big wait and see if we have power....)

So the past two days I've been sick. Like so sick with some sort of flu or something. And I think I'm going to have to get some Pedilyte or something because I'm getting really dehydrated even though I'm chugging water. I haven't exercised and I've been eating healthy and hydrating foods. If this keeps up thru the weekend you best believe I'm going to the doctor. On the plus side, it might be why I've lost weight...
9/01: 129.2
I have nothing to say. I can't give any credit to myself. It will probably come back when I feel better. Still feeling a icky.
9/02: 129.2
Still sick. Now I've decided to be more positive about the weight loss though. I am going to say that it will stay off when I get better, because I want it to!
9/03: 128.4
Yep. Still not doing anything except creeping ever so slowly to death.
9/04: 128.4
Woke up today feeling slightly better!!! Finally!!! Now I can start trying to eat healthy again...I've not been making calorie count most days and on the days that I have it's been with horrific foods. I have poor self control when I'm ill.
9/05: Ate breakfast before I remembered to weigh in.
9/06: 128.4
Omg I can't believe I've been in the 120s for a whole week. Saw my neurologist yesterday and he commented on my weight loss without me saying anything. He said I looked like a completely different person and so much younger.
9/07: 128.4
Surprisingly steady considering I met my mother for lunch yesterday AND I went out to dinner with my husband last night. Maybe this round is going to be one with a WHOOSH! after 3 weeks of plateauing.
9/08: 128.4
My new plateau? I'm totally ok with it. If anyone knew how long it's been since I weighed this much...hell, I don't even remember the last time I was in this range (before this week). Suddenly, though, I've gotten too small for my britches. Bahahaha.

8/31: 202.6 -- under calories, worked out yesterday.
9/01: 201 -- under calories, worked out.
9/02: 200.2 -- under calories, no exercise yesterday. Just got back from a walk, though.
9/03: 202.4 -- over calories, worked out yesterday.
9/04: 202.8 -- over calories and ravenous, tried to work out but didn't manage much. Might be getting sick; I feel gross and a bit nauseated.
9/05: 201 -- under calories, no workout yesterday. Def sick.
9/06: 201 -- under calories, no workout. Feeling much better.
9/07: 201.8 -- under calories, long walk yesterday. As others have noted, scale fluctuations are more frustrating the closer I get to the 190s.

@missionhercules Weighing daily has drastically reduced my emotional reliance on the scale. I see my weight fluctuate and realize that sometimes it goes up (or down) for no reason at all. I can't control my weight on any given day; I can only control my actions. It's allowed me to focus on the process more than the result, which is more sustainable for me. And looking forward to maintenance, it has also relieved me of the pressure of having to maintain one single number for the rest of my life.
When I weighed weekly I was much more upset if I didn't lose much -- or worse, gained -- because I had the idea that was my "real" weight. Never mind I could have easily been having a random high weight fluctuation that day.11
