Tracey's Mid-Maintenance Break/Back Into Weight Loss Mode
Replies
-
These are the different weights I got on my scale this morning. I decided to go with the 154.1 because I got on my old scale and it said 153.6 and the difference between the two is 0.7. As far as I can tell the scale is on a level floor so I don't know what to say about it. I don't pay attention to the Body Fat measurements because they are way off.

I figured I would have a whoosh today because I was going to the bathroom all day letting go of the water.

Those 150's are almost in your rear view mirror Tracey WOOHOO!!!0

Thanks Donna, I am determined to bid the 150's a fond farewell.0

You are almost at the bottom of those 150's. Good luck!0

Tracey, you continue to be an inspiration. 0

Thank You Sunny!0

I love the whooshes!!! Great work Tracey 0

YESSSSSS!!!! I knew you would get a whoosh after dropping some of the carbs and sodium! YAY! You've got this! 145 is officially less than 10 pounds away now!0

I think I may have gone back to my sabotaging ways again after seeing the whoosh, I had somewhat of a splurge day today. I hope I didn't do too much damage. I think I ended up eating a little over 1800 calories. Maybe I just needed the splurge. I will be back on track tomorrow.

I am guessing I really needed to splurge yesterday. Pleasantly surprised.
So I completed my first week back in weight loss mode and it was a good week even though I had the upticks. I ended the week with a 4 pound loss.
If I can keep this up, I can be at my goal within 30 days versus 60 days. Even if I do reach my goal early, I may still stay in weight loss mode for the entire 60 days to see how low I can get. If I could have a maintenance range in the 140's, that would be awesome. 1 -
Great job Tracey!

I was looking at my Trendweight and it is still at 156.0 pounds. I am thinking I will stay in weight loss mode until my trendweight reaches 145 pounds which would probably have me at a 142 pound scale weight. If I do this I think I will have a better chance at maintaining in the 140's.

I am happy for your loss! I know better than anyone that sometimes you just need to splurge!0
-
That splurge day is what you needed, great results this week 0
-
You have done amazing!!! Keep it up!!0
-
That is awesome, Tracey!!!! I am SO happy for you! You have so little to go now!
I didn't think about the Trendweight thing -- that's probably a good idea! I may do the same thing and stop when it puts me at 130. Mine is at 150.7 right now.0 -
Sounds like the splurge was exactly what you needed! Keep it up, Tracey. 0

That's normal. Just plot it and look for the smooth trendline amongst the noise.0 -

The trend should be a little bit more of an accurate state because its a moving average. That last week will get it moving down. The slope of the last part of the solid line goes down more than the trend line. They must use a longer average for the dotted line than the solid line.0 -
