01/22: 217.4 ---Ate a sensible Sunday dinner, however my son and I had 2 servings of apple pie a la mode, with the excuse of getting it gone so we would not eat on it all week
. But, I did do an hour of intense cardio to burn some of it up. His 18th birthday is tomorrow, so we will be doing cupcakes to celebrate instead of an eat on all week cake.
01/23: 217 ----Got to be on my P's and Q's today with a birthday in the house since I finally got back down to my low from round 28. The scale actually showed 216 three times in a row, then 217 twice so I'm just going with 217
01/24: 217.4--- Well I did good with the cupcakes-only had one, but the ground beef from the baked spaghetti my son requested for his birthday dinner is weighing heavy on the stomach this morning. Can't complain though because I knew this would happen before I ate it.
01/25: 217--Ok, so like I'm ready to move on down from the 217s.

1/19 - 179.5 - danced some, walked 7k steps, but have a bday party to go to later. Wish me luck lol.
1/20 - 180.9 - Managed to fall under daily calorie limit yesterday but party still did its damage. Hoping this is just water. 6k steps plus 30 min dancing.
1/21 - 180.6 - A little under the weather today so only did stretching and quads strengthening.
1/22 - 180.1 - Went slightly under calorie limit. Nice to see the reading going down again.
1/23 - 179.9 - Only 4k steps, but slept 7 hrs straight for the first time after a long while. Feel pretty good as a result.
1/24 - 179.6 - Pretty much back to where I started lol, but I'm not complaining. Keep going down, down...
1/25 - 178.3 - No exercise aside from stretching. I observe however that the weight goes down when I've had enough sleep. Interesting.

A pound or two per week would be fantastic. And the healthy way to do this. I know this, but I need it's so easy to forget when things are going well. I want this. I'm trying to get ahead of barriers and anchors that have derailed me in past. So far so good! Slow and steady...

Starting Weight: 135 lbs
Goal Weight: 115 lbs - Met in late 2017
I met my goal weight a few months ago. My new goal now is to stay around 115 average. I seem to be settling in around 113-115 lately. Even though I'm at my goal weight, I love this group & enjoy the daily check ins. I enjoy following everyone else's progress & thanks to my OCD tendency, I enjoy tracking my calories & daily weight.
Goal This Round: Maintain 115 lbs Average
01/18 • 114 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1350 cal.
01/19 • 114 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1450 cal.
01/20 • 114 • Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1600 cal. 2 servings of alcohol.
01/21 • 113 • Played 2 sets of tennis. 1550 cal. 3 servings of alcohol.
01/22 • 114 • I really don't see fluctuations in my weight anymore. Which is a good thing. Played 3 sets of tennis. 1550 cal. 2 servings of alcohol.
01/23 • 114 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1500 cal.
01/24 • 115 • Ran 3.5 miles. 1900 cal. 3 servings of alcohol
01/25 • 113 • 1600 cal. 2 servings of alcohol
01/26 • 112 • I think my weight is down because I've been slacking off on lifting weights lately. Plus I didn't exercise at all yesterday. Ran 3.5 miles & lifted weights. 1350 cal.

01/18 - 146.8
Happy to see this as I had a bit of a pig out yesterday. Nothing all that great, just ate more than usual and went over my goals. Back on track today.
01/19 - 146.8
On track yesterday and I walked and was active packing for a move, so this is, I think, holdover from Wednesday's excesses. Going out for lunch today, but I have the day planned and I'll be on track again. Sooner or later....
01/20 - 146.8
Let's hear it for consistency! (It's better than gaining, it's better than gaining...)
01/21 - 147
Sigh. I did eat over my goal yesterday, although not by much. I was hungry. I really struggle with being hungry at night. I'm thinking of trying a bigger breakfast with lots of protein & good fat, which always holds me over most of the day, so I eat less at lunch and dinner. I'm avoiding "shoulds," so no "should not eat after dinner" for me. I just end up breaking my rule and feeling bad about it. I know I do better in terms of both hunger and weight loss on the days when I have a big breakfast or lunch and skip dinner, then eat 300 or so healthy calories later. (Thinking onscreen here
).
01/22 - 146.8
Longing for good weather & long walks. But I'm going to suck it up and go walk in circles at the mall for an hour. Beats a treadmill, I guess. Sigh.
01/23 - 146.8
My body obviously thinks its home.
01/24 - 146.8
Yep, just a homebody. However, I measured my waist this morning and I'm down 1.5 inch since Aug, so something's happening. I'm trying a new approach for the next week or so, starting today -- top-loading my daily calories with a big high-protein, high-ish fat breakfast; no lunch or very light, depending on whether I'm hungry; no dinner or very light, depending...; snack around 9 (which I always have), more carby & fatty (like my fav whole grain English muffin with peanut- or almond butter). Same calorie goal, but different distribution. Started this morning with breakfast out - steak & eggs, half cup cottage cheese, 2 pieces whole wheat toast w/butter. I'm thinking I won't be hungry for many hours! (TMI?) Thanks for letting me spell it out for myself.
01/25 - 146.8
Still hangin' out, but I ate within calorie goal yesterday and walked a bit. One of these days I'll have a whoosh! (BTW, yesterday I wasn't hungry until about 8 p.m. I did eat an apple around 5, but I love the big breakfast approach. Not today as I'm having lunch with a friend, but that will be my big meal for the day.)
01/26 - 146.8
Color me flummoxed. I've been on target for calories (lower this week than they've been in many moons) & macros (P25-30%, C30-35%, F40-45%). I've been walking this week - not a lot, but several times at a good clip for 30-50 min. The only thing I can think of is that, with many fewer grains in my diet, I'm getting less fiber than I used to (although still hitting the MFP target) with the expected results. I keep reminding myself that I'm very, very close to my "healthy BMI," which means that realistically (since BMI is problematic) I'm at a healthy weight now. I would just like to be a little bit lighter. We are moving from OR to IN in 3 weeks, so there's a moderate level of stress going on (although not bad as we've done this multiple times and have a "system").

01/20 - 145.5 Had a party last night so I'm happy to see this!
01/21 - 144.9 Started weighing in de morning for more consistency, so lower was to be expected. Still keeping under my caloriegoal though and did a good workout today
01/22 - 144.1 This is going better than I thought, eating healthy and working out makes such a difference vs binge eating every day. Wonder if I can keep it up though.
01/23 - 144.8 Went out for dinner last night and ate a lot. Today's been full of carbs also, so I'll try to do a workout tonight.
01/24 - 144.4 Workout and water paying off, need to stay on track.
01/25 - 143.7 Workout and high protein snacks, under caloriegoal, cutting down on carbs.
01/26 - 143.0 Went a little bit overboard with the calorie 'limit'. Although I wasn't that hungry, I still need to get enough nutrients in me, especially when working out much and viruses going around.

01/19 - 187.4 - Late salty dinner out last night, so this is kind of expected.
01/20 - 186.6 - It's kind of cold here (for the desert) gotta find the motivation to do more than curl up with my heater and videogames.
01/21 - 187.2 - Took some medicine that's making me kind of bloaty and sleepy.
01/22 - 186.6 - Got training tonight.
01/23 - 187.4 - Training and too much salt. Too cold don't remember to drink water.
01/24 - 187.2 - I'll be glad when my WoW game time wears off in a couple days. I feel so obligated to use the paid time when I have it that I've been lazier than I should be.
01/25 - 189 - Went to see a friend last night at a Brazilian steakhouse. It was a bit spontaneous. Worth it, fun, but...
01/26 - 188.6 - Not looking good for ending on a low note.

Personally, I do not monitor macros. I pay attention to net calories, sodium & processed sugar, and try to get enough daily fiber (I set at 25g per registered dietitian advice) and protein. When I have right amounts of fiber and protein, and keep the rest within proper range, I seem to do fine. I am a big water drinker, minimum of 10-12 cups per day, feel parched if I don't and my skin gets dry. And I always eat back exercise calories, preferably protein, or I would be starving at end of day. Don't know if any of this is useful for you, just my approach.SheilaBoneham wrote: »01/26 -
Color me flummoxed. I've been on target for calories (lower this week than they've been in many moons) & macros (P25-30%, C30-35%, F40-45%). I've been walking this week - not a lot, but several times at a good clip for 30-50 min. The only thing I can think of is that, with many fewer grains in my diet, I'm getting less fiber than I used to (although still hitting the MFP target) with the expected results. I keep reminding myself that I'm very, very close to my "healthy BMI," which means that realistically (since BMI is problematic) I'm at a healthy weight now. I would just like to be a little bit lighter. We are moving from OR to IN in 3 weeks, so there's a moderate level of stress going on (although not bad as we've done this multiple times and have a "system"). But maybe I should just be happy where I am until weather warms up and I get back to my usual outdoor activity level? Any thoughts, anyone who's still with me here?6 -

01/24 Travel day, no access to scale. I am adhering to my meal plan for the duration of the trip. Also having issues that are TMI, but a normal part of dieting so I feel bloated.
01/25 No access to scale. I will have access tomorrow.

I was having a hard time recommitting myself to this after I gained about 7 lbs over the holidays but I’m back on track. I think the problem was that I tried to eat super healthy like I used to from the beginning, when I had gotten back into the habit of eating sweets and stuff. So I’m cutting back on desserts and then next on the list is soda. Also making more meals at home. Still can’t exercise, as my ankle is in recovery mode from an injury. I’m off crutches but still having to sit around a lot.
01/23: 132.0
Well, at least it didn’t go up ::shrug::
01/24: Forgot to weigh.
01/25:130.9
The bubble hath bursteth! I was having major stomach cramps and bloating for like 2 days. Still not sure why but who cares, because I’m feeling better. Honestly I think it was because I was changing my diet so quickly. Feeling great and happy. Can’t wait to be closer to the 126 mark which is where I was when I left here. Can’t wait to start toning again either. Soooo impatient.
01/26: 131.6
I weighed myself like halfway through the day because I completely forgot to this AM.

Officially 10 pounds lighter than my previous MFP attempt. So happy to have achieved this in a healthy, sustainable way. No more diet pills, prepackaged meal schemes, and other whatnot that I would just gain back plus some afterwards. To paraphrase @cschmitz110515, It's a lifestyle, not a diet.
I believe in my ability to MAKE HEALTHY CHOICES, to LOSE WEIGHT, and KEEP IT OFF!10 -

I feel much better this morning! Thanks so much for the hugs I received; you just don't know how much it meant to me to see them! And you know what? I actually felt them too! @nikki062181 thanks for the prayers! I love you guys! Well, I got up this morning and weighed then I exercised and weighed; after that I went and fixed breakfast and weighed again! I weighed 211.5 all three times although I was hoping it would go down; I always go with the lowest number! I'm still trying for 209 this round!

Day/Weight/Comment
1/18 – loss - my win today is leaving work on time, so I had extra time to make a few different dinners for the next few days to reheat because I know I won't have time to cook for a few days. Probably way too much work for a Thursday but now I have lunches and dinners that are portioned properly and should get me through the weekend. I'm tired but satisfied and greatful for the privilege of time to get this task done.
1/19 – loss - tired.
1/20 – ? - visiting family, no scale. Two birthdays, one slice of cake and no alcohol = win
1/21 – loss - mood cycling low, new goal is to just get through this low and not use food as medication. Greatful for the people who support me.
1/22 – gain - not too bothered, focusing more on the mental, the physical will be a focus once I'm through this part. Aiming for a better tomorrow.
1/23 – gain - not impressed but in the grand scheme it's minor. Mood is getting better so I'm happy for being less low. Work is stressful ATM which likely is helping the gain and not helping the low. Staying dry which is positive, trying to find ways to decompress in healthy ways. Still aiming for a better tomorrow.
1/24 – gain - minor so whatever, better thing is the mood is getting better, so greatful for that. Still eating good, less active cause work is eating my lunch breaks but that will be a better in another week. Going to have to be patient and smart with what I can do. Also might have figured out why the scale has been difficult lately but waiting on that test result, nothing serious, just possibly different...
1/25 -gain - well this isn't surprising at this point. I'm not really sure what's up, in really minor gains but it's perplexing, nothing has changed from my usual healthy habits beyond recovering from the low. Still learning my body I guess. It's almost the weekend though so I'm happy for that!
1/26– gain - because why not right. I get answers tomorrow so many things will make more sense or I'm going to have to figure a different way to get back on track. Mood is better though so grateful for that.

01/19 136.1Think the 1kg loss is partially due to an early weigh in today! BUT knowing I was logging in today DID make avoid nibbles yesterday!!! so
01/20 136.6 I knew yesterday was not really real! but today is still less than day one (137.1 kg)!! and (confession) I did succumb to nibbles
01/21 136.1 not too bad!

01/23 135 pleased so far; but then over indulged a bit (on fruit , they are still calories!!)
01/24 135.1 not too bad considering yesterday
01/25 135.5 a bad trend here (due to bad food choices) need to try to do better these last 3 days!!

01/20 146.5 I wonder if the stress of attending my 50 year HS reunion is having a bearing on this. All the teen angst returning to haunt me? I’m about 15# smaller than the 40 year reunion and about 20# more than 50 years ago. I really would love to continue to lose. I have until April 20. I need to get my lazy butt out of the chair, too!
01/21 146.0 Yesterday I was way under on calories, under on fat and protein, good on carbs, drank almost 4 qts of water plus coffee and Coke Zero w/vodka. Sitting at basketball for 4.5 hours = sore bum!
01/22 146.0 Back to tracking.UGH!
01/23 145.5 Well, I hope this is a trend! It’s been 12 weeks since I last weighed 10# more than this! I sure hope slow and steady wins the race because I am certainly being a turtle here!
01/24 145.5 Yesterday I was exploring the way to pick up the pace on this painfully slow weight loss. Additionally, I need to find some form of exercise I enjoy.
01/25 144.5 Well, that makes an even 30# in 53 weeks. Now, if you will please stay?!? I did get ahlmost 8 hours of sleep but how do I make that happen every night? Tomorrow I have a sewing art technique class all day. I will weigh when I get up but don’t know when I will have a chance to post. I am so NOT a morning person and class starts at 8!
01/26 145.5 And up. The only meal I ate yesterday was Golden Corral. I had a few veggies and dip at my meeting and 2.5 ounces of cheese after I got home. I’m blaming this on salt. Damn! At a sewing class all day today so probably not a lot of steps unless I remember to get up and WALK.
I never got around to posting this this morning. 4 -

- Moving in the right direction. No eating after 8PM
01/19 - 99 - Not enough steps in because I was slammed with work, drank my water, but ate dinner after 8
01/20 - 98.3 - Woke up too hungry, hit my water but not food, so I expect this to go up again. Biggest stomach ache ever! I don’t know if it’s the stress from work but wow!!
01/21 - 98.9 Yeah up again, but I was good today with steps, water and food mostly (except for that pesky bakery bread!)
