This makes no sense to me at all. My calories yesterday were a bit higher than normal, but my 10-day averages for quite a while have been at or below my maintenance level, so at worst I should be holding steady. I've been walking at least an hour 3 -5 times a week, drinking lots of water.... I occasionally have a high-sodium day, but mostly keep within bounds. My macros average out regularly to C 40-55, F 25-35, P 20-25, so I don't see a problem there. Bah!
I'm thinking of not weighing in daily this round - it's makin' me crazy - or of looking only at my running ave weight from Happy Scale instead of daily fluctuations, which might make me slightly less disappointed. How can my weight not only not go down, but go up, eating fewer calories the past 3 weeks than I was eating for months before while maintaining the same weight? Makes no sense at all. Short of extreme diets, anyone have any suggestions based on experience?

06/18 - 151 (HS 149.9) - 1612 - 10-day ave 1466
I had a mild "don't care" yesterday and went slightly over calorie goal, but all healthy food, and under my estimated TDEE (maintenance). I'm still thoroughly confused by this uptick, but I'll just ride it out. So much for crunching the numbers! Maybe it is partly the heat - we've been under a heat advisory for 3 days, so I'm drinking gallons of water and not getting as much walking (I had heat stroke years ago and am prone to getting sick in severe heat, so I don't take any chances).

06/19 - 151 (HS 150) - 1485 - 10-day ave 1471
Sigh. But...I joined the Y yesterday and am getting my hair cut short today - those take care of my excuses for not getting my butt moving.

The hair is because my goal is to swim laps 20-30 min 3 mornings/week and need quick-dry and no wrap-around-the-head locks. Ha! Other goals @ Y - Flex/Stretch and Yoga classes 2-3 days and weights 3 days, and out-and-about 60 min or longer walks most evenings. This is all doable (with time for other things I love - painting, dog training, reading, hubby, and - oh yeah! - writing & teaching [also known as work]), because I used to do this. I just need to re-form the habit of putting my health first. I'm also beginning to think I've cut my calories too low and it's counterproductive, so am raising my calorie goal to1450, which is half way between MFP's and SailRabbit's maintenance numbers for me. I'll eat at maintenance and see what happens with the added activity. And I'll relax and remember that I weigh 68+ pounds less than I did 3 years ago, 5 less than a year ago, and that I've been hanging out within 3 pounds for months. Although I'm technically overweight, I'm healthy and look pretty good, my BP is down to 120/78 without meds, and the rest of my blood work is dead normal. So I'm switching to a more positive view of where I am rather than whining about those pesky 20 pounds. They'll go eventually. And once again, thanks so much for this forum, all of you but esp. @GrandmaJackie for keeping it going. Just writing things out like this, and reading feedback and other people's "reports from the field" helps tremendously.

06/20 - 150.2 - 1185 - 10-day ave 1446
I couldn't get onto the forums this morning, so I'm late, I'm late.... I didn't mean to eat so little yesterday, I just wasn't hungry so didn't force it. For a long time I've worked hard to hit my "minimums," and that's just as silly as having a breakdown over one high-cal day. As long as things average out over 7-10 days, I'll go with that. (It's the new, more relaxed me

).

@puddlegoober I "get" vacations that aren't really all that much of a break and I "get" knee issues too. Welcome home!

@brightresolve and @puddlegoober, yep, my last vacation left me in need of a vacation. That was a few months back when our cat died while we were away.

At the best of times, I'm a lousy vacationer. I always think "I should do something while I have the chance. I'm on vacation!" and then I think "I don't want to do anything. I'm on vacation!"

Couldn't log in earlier, so this is a later post than my normal. But that lets me note that I got my movement in today! Woo! Two in a row!

My weight is bouncing around, but the average is still heading the right direction. Trying for 20 minutes of intentional movement per day.

6/17 at 8:30 / 231.2 / I didn't deserve to stay the same weight! We went out to eat to a place with gluten free bread served with oil and parmesan cheese. So good and such a rare treat.

6/18 at 7:30 / 230.8 / Just goes to show that sometimes bodies is weird. I went over calories on Saturday (by 400) and yesterday (by 40) and I'm lighter today.

6/19 at 6:25 / 230.6 / Had a good eating day, considerably under calories, and still managed to fit a Snickers with hazelnut in. Which means I'll want those every day for like six months, but it was worth it.

6/20 at 6:15 / 230.2 / Another good eating day, slightly under calories (I do not have my calories set low at all). And I finally got some exercise in! (And since I'm posting late, I can say I got it in on the 20th, too!)

Round 2 for me.

6/17 Starting weight 193.8 walked 6 miles and 14,000 steps today which included some walking at the school track. Got in my water (96 degrees here today). Did well on my Keto diet. Did my 16:8 Intermittent fast. Everything went well today. I am hoping to get back to my most recent lowest weight soon which was 190.0 . Best wishes to you all. I just want you all to know how much you always inspire me…….

6/18 192.0 walked 7 miles and 14,000 steps today mostly “spring” cleaning. Intermittent fasted for 14 hours falling 2 hours short of my typical. Logged. Drank minimum water because I was so busy. I went over my allowable carbs of 20 (at about 30) but MFP allowed me much more if I wanted to eat back my burned calories. I was just extra hungry after all the work, but I stuck completely to my keto friendly foods. Tomorrow will be another busy day. I will make a better meal and water plan but I am happy with my progress so far.

6/19 I Honestly forgot to weigh this morning when I was awoken early with someone at the door. But my weight was probably up because I went on a binge last night with snacks, then I even got up and cooked! I drank a lot of water today to try to flush it. I walked over 18,000 steps including two miles at the school track. I did some very physical jobs in the house. BUT THERE IS NO SUCH THINGS AS OUTRUNNING THE FORK so tomorrow will tell the true tale and I know I will pay. Please folks, don’t follow in my example. It was not worth it. If I cheat next time, it will be more than just binging and overeating my diet foods. Anyway, keep me in mind and pray I’ll get strong again folks. I’ve been pretty weak off and on for the past month. I will try harder tomorrow as today was not the greatest either. I’m honest and faithful in my logging though which, at least, leaves me with remorse.

6/20 195.2 after the above binge night. Stuck to my diet very well today eating healthy keto friendly foods. Lots of walking at work and home logging over 6 miles and over 14,000 steps on my fitbit. Lots of coffee and tea today. Working on the water tonight. I continue to log every morsel and stare either victory or defeat directly in the eye. I join other strong confident women here on MFP in our quest to good health and happiness. I hope the scale tomorrow will reflect my sacrifices today. Nonetheless, I shall prevail!

Day/Weight/Comment
6/16 - 60.6kg (-1.0kg) - This was a big drop from yesterday and I have a feeling I will be chasing this number for most of this round. Have made my initial overall goal weight today though so I am taking it and am happy happy happy!!
6/17 - 61.6kg (+1.0kg) - Had a wonderful night last night with my girlfriends, full of delicious snacks and wine. If this is my weekend bump I will be happy! Great news as well - I got an interview for an amazing job but I am already going through a really tough/stressful time and this is just one more thing I need to put my energy into. Just going to do my best and try to manage my stress without reverting to old habits of eating everything in sight.
6/18 - 61.7kg (+0.1kg) - Mother-in-laws Sunday dinner (and my lack of self-restraint) strikes again.
6/19 - 61.1kg (-0.6kg) - Played laser tag last night and OMG it was so much fun. Burnt 580kcals too! Glad to be getting back down towards my goal weight after a heavier weekend. Stress is still accumulating though and I had a slip last night into old habits.
6/20 - 60.8kg (-0.3kg) - Woop woop! I think I'm going to change my goal for this round down to my next huge milestone of under 60kg. How surreal and exciting!

6/21- 60.7kg (-0.1kg) - So I changed my goal back to 60.2kg for this round. TOM approaching, final weigh-in is the same day as a big job interview, I'm stressed as it is and honestly I have been pushing my calories down past a sensible level . I have to remind myself that slow and steady is ok!

Didn't weigh over the weekend - routine up the wall as had my teenage daughters sleepover party, hubby been away although home now and Fathers Day - not a normal weekend at all! Meal out with daughter, sleepover party food was involved including birthday cake, full on cooked breakfast yesterday for Fathers Day, Sunday roast yesterday for fathers day with alcohol and desserts - aarrgghh! Did I go mad - not really but the excess carbs bloated feeling back again today which I do not like! Back on plan today, short 12 mile cycle tonight planned and weigh ins from tomorrow..... Wedding on Friday and cheerleading weekend away (2 nights hotel living and a 5 hour drive each way) so going to be hard to stay on track but not being on here definitely wont help

Round 44 aim - stay on track as far as possible, plenty of water, try to choose healthiest options possible when eating out

Aim not to gain any weight - I would see maintenance as a success this round

19/06 142.60lb - same as this time last week despite my weekend indulgences - so guess that means at least when there are no events in my way I must be eating and exercising ok! Good food day yesterday and a 12 mile cycle so feel better today. Todays food all planned and should be good with an hours PT at the gym tonight

Just over 4 weeks till our sons wedding and 6 weeks till our holiday - so time to re-focus!

20/06 - 141.4lb - 1.20lb off - exactly the same weight as this time last week for the second day on the trot! just proves in my head the effect a weekend of non-tracking / eating anything does to my weight - as if I needed proof! Will tomorrows weigh in be a surprise or not?

21/06 - 140.1lb - 1.3lb down surprise surprise - same as last Thursday! Gym tonight, planed food (including hubbys home made - all within calories and macros - burgers) so hoping tomorrows weigh in is a good one to set me up for our manic weekend

Round all good so far.....

22/06 - Friends wedding - then heading straight from there at 10pm on a 5 hour drive away for the weekend....
23/06 - Cheerleading weekend away - no scale
24/06 - Cheerleading weekend away - no scale

I know I’m late to the party, but I don’t need to give myself another excuse.
