    Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss had stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
    MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
    Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:

    My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

    05/02: 154.5 Stuck with meal plans but Snacked. Too. Much. on almonds (before supper) & veggies straws (late evening). At least those snacks are out of the house. Forced myself to log (guesstimates) ~ ack! Net calories, sodium & sugar RED, fiber & protein good & 15c water. Rest day / Fitbit 9,129 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 40 floors.
    05/03: 154.0 Fitbit 7,411 steps, 250+ 12/14 (spa night) & 25 floors. Stuck with meal/snack plan except finished snappea crisps for evening snack (unplanned) ~ net calories -208, sodium -358, fiber ok, sugar green, protein good & 15c water. Close enough for unplanned rest day (overslept alarm).
    05/04: 154.5 Evening social event & self-control not so much... Oh well, oops. At least I got up from table to remove myself from further damage. No idea how to log some, used quick add... needless to say net calories, sodium & sugar all RED. 15c water anyway. Walked dog before work / 3.4 mi 59:49 pace 17:34 / happy dog & happy me. Fitbit 15,969 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 35 floors ~ hoping I can move up the leaderboard of workplace step challenge.
    05/05: 153.5 Weight machine & circuit training before work and increased my minutes slightly. Fitbit 8,226 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 (volunteer host = sitting) & 30 floors. Net calories -273, sodium & sugar red, fiber & protein good, 14c water.
    05/06: 155.5 Lunch w/ hubby at Olive Garden (Sat.) + took home 1/2 entre ~ sodium very high + 13c water. Walked dog 3.57 mi 1:05:01 pace 18:11. Fitbit 12,715 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 & 22 floors. Changed MFP setting to lose 1/2# per week & see how that goes.
    05/07: 154.0 Liking change in daily calories with new setting ~ don't feel as hungry. Net calories green, sugar -5, sodium -547, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog 3.81 mi 1:08:03 pace 17:55. Yard work (lots of bending & hauling).

    05/08: 154.0 Did ok all day, stuck w/ prelogged meals & snacks, and net calories w/i limit... then late evening snacking on walnut halves ~ ack!!! Really liking my new calorie limit, but need to figure out what to do about snack attacks ~ I never used to. Rest day ~ Fitbit 10,194 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 30 floors.

Fitbit 16,402 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 54 floors ~ evening, packed 3 boxes of Easter decorations & stored in basement ~ yes, I still had Easter decorations out.
    05/10: 153.5 I think changing my MFP setting to 1/2# per week, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me. Net calories -15, sodium -721, sugar -19 (mostly fruit, power muffin & yogurt), fiber excellent, protein good & 14c water. Walked dog before work in off + on sprinkles + beat the rain / 3.43 mi 1:01:05 / remembered to stretch. Fitbit 16,489 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 46 floors. Workplace step challenge ~ currently in 31st place / top 30 women get prize at 10-week point... too bad leader board combines men & women, and everyone is listed by code number with no gender identification.
    05/11: 154.0 Net calories -85, sodium -517, sugar -13, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog after work 3.42 mi 59:43. Fitbit 13,538 steps, 250+ steps 12/14 & 41 floors.

    End R37: 196.8 (-4.4)
    End R38: 191.8 (-5.0)
    End R39: 190.2 (-1.6)

    R40 Goal: Under 189

    Day/Weight/Comment
    5/08 -- 190.4 I know that I've been comfortably within plan, so this isn't bothering me. I'm just sitting patiently waiting for my whoosh. :)
    5/09 -- 189.2 And there it is! I hope the bounce back isn't too bad this time; that's what really flattened me last round (no, it was nothing to do with toffee pecan ice cream, why do you ask?!)
    5/10 -- 188.2 Finally back on track. I hope that my numbers drop for a few days more before I hit bounce back.
    5/11 -- 187.2 The irony is that I'm not doing anything different from last round, when I struggled to hold even. This weight loss business is a long game.

    I’m not sure why but It keeps on deleting my posts! Super frustrating. Anyway here’s the short version cuz I’m sick of retyping. Anyone else having that problem cutting and pasting?

    I use the Quote feature and delete the quote headers in the text box ~ no problems! Also, if you use non-MFP emojis, that will cut off your post.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    5/08 / 259.0 / Here we go! I was so down about my last round that I decided to see how much I'd stalled out in my weight loss over the entirety of this attempt (from Jan. 16th). I thought, surely, with the time I spent out of state, my mother's death, and this past round I must be at least 5 pounds behind my "two pounds a week" goal. Shocker. No. I am still ahead, having lost more than two pounds a week on average. I know weight loss starts with water weight but it helped put the wind back in my sails.
    5/09 / 258.0 / I have never really looked at my macros. I just count calories. By coincidence, my fat calories were high, protein was just below target and carbs were way low. You Keto people know where I’m going with this, right? I.Wasn’t.Hungry.
    5/10 / 256.8 / Thank goodness.
