    I have no idea why the scale went up this week! I'm irritated but I'm going to try to just keep doing what I'm doing. Consistency is key, right?

    I don't know what to say, Destiny! Stay the course, and see what happens before you make any drastic changes. Does your scale only weigh in whole numbers? You could be fluctuating around the 159.5 mark, so not actually gaining a whole pound.

    There's a nice loss, Karyn! Not the same pace as before, but you are smaller and fitter, so maybe it is to be expected?

    There's a nice loss, Karyn! Not the same pace as before, but you are smaller and fitter, so maybe it is to be expected?

    I've lowered my deficit to 500 calories after my maintenance break, aiming for around 1 pound a week loss.

    But, as long as it keeps going in the right direction, I'm not too worried anymore how long it's going to take. I am at my lowest ever adult weight now, so every extra pound lost is a bonus.

    I still have around 2 stone (28 lbs) to lose to get to a healthy BMI, but I feel that taking it slower will help when I switch to maintenance not to rebound and gain back any of the weight like I have done so many other times.

    It's kind of strange, yet freeing, to be actually focusing on a feasible longer term (life) goal, and not just "I need to lose this weight NOW"

    What a very healthy mindset! With aiming for a small deficit each week, and hitting the gym and the rink regularly like you do, it probably doesn't even feel like you are trying to lose weight, much less leaving yourself feeling deprived at all! The switch to maintenance will be seamless, with a much higher chance of long term success...which should be everyone's goal, not just, like you said, "I need to lose this weight NOW!"

    I am in some discomfort this morning. I did a Fitness Blender video on Sunday evening and some dead lift exercises for another challenge, and ever since then my back has been getting tighter and tighter....until it affected my quality of sleep last night!!! Thankfully I can sit because I will be stuffing statements into envelopes at work all day! After I eat breakfast and take something for it, I think I will lay on a heating pad for while!

    Hope your back makes a quick recovery! Very smart to take good care of yourself today.
    Mine was bothering me a little last night from digging some big rocks out of the garden area. I was pretty excited to wake up this morning and not still be hurting. Still, I'm planning to take it a little easier today too.

    @HASWLRS my scale does half pound increments. I think some of it might have been water weight because a "visitor" came yesterday. Sorry for the TMI! It also made me indulge a bit too much in chocolate
