Age: 47YO Female with Hypo.
7/17/2018: 104.6 - I can always tell when it's tuesday because my weight is more in check. somehow I build momentum up on friday late afternoon and keep it up for 4 days and then have treats.... SO, I've admitted and defined my cycle of eating. Now I need to make an improvement. One thing I've been doing is listening to a podcast called primal potential (dot com) and I have a sign on my desk stating "to make tomorrow easier, WHAT do I need to do TODAY?" and I am reminding myself "My minimum needs are met. I am OKAY. I just need to make it through the next 5 minutes. I can make it 5 more minutes. I'm Okay. I am Safe. I am good. I love myself enough to take care of myself."
7/13/2018 : 107 - how does one gain 3# in 3 days? They don't. my hysterectomy was back in 2013 so, i'm just taking a wild guess that this is mainly hormonal TOM liquids. It sure drives me insane though. My real weight that I track is on Tuesdays...so I'll just have to wait until then to see how I'm doing over all. Slightly disappointed that I couldn't hold on to 104 though. #sadface
07/10/2018: 104.0 - Not a bad day of eating but I did choose to have white sugar and ice cream. Both set me up for craving and caving in. I know my weight would have been lower had i chosen to have an apple or something 'sweet' that was NOT sugar. OR, just sitting in my discomfort and not having anything to eat at all. Sometimes I just need to sit through the discomfort <- This is my focus for this week. Yesterday I sat through the discomfort from after breakfast until 12:30pm THEN I ate. I wanted to nibble....but I didn't. #SoProud! and lunch was a salad, a healthy one with avocado as dressing. But, 30mins later I chose to go for a sweet something. I wasn't hungry but, I convinced myself to eat anyway. That was the mistake. Lesson : Next time, convince myself NOT to eat!

June Notes:
In June I had one day where I weighed in at 104.4. with this 10 day round, my goal is doable.
In June I realized that my habit of grabbing a protein bar is probably not serving me very well. While it tastes great, it is not satisfying a craving, I eat it because it tastes awesome. And when I finish the bar, I typically yearn for more. Thus, this bar is highly processed, right?!?! Because if it were a serving of snap peas...who'd be saying after 200 calories of them that they just wanted to eat 4 more servings. no one! So, I'm going to practice NOT having the bar. AND I'm going to practice having a 30min lunch window for eating so that I don't snack ALL afternoon.
I am monitoring my behaviors by writing down how I feel before I eat, after I eat and stuff like that.
+ How will this food make me feel
+ After I eat : What is my mood? My energy Level ? Cravings? hunger?
+ When I go to bed, will I be stressing about this food?
^^ I haven't been AS good on doing this daily but, I am doing it regularly.
^^ Working on CONVINCING myself that I'm happier, more joyful and feel amazing when I stick to my plan. I feel thinner when I have an amazing day. I am NOT going to throw in the towel because today I have stuck to my menu SO far and, i know I can make it ALL the WAY today and have an AMAZINGLY healthy day! I am less bloated, mentally more happy and my MOOD is a TON better without the NEGATIVE energy on processed foods!
07/10: OMG! I just noticed that I am ALMOST at my goal for this challenge!!!

@mamasara2
I hear you! Hang in there! Keep on, keeping on! When you’re least expecting it, the scale will DROP!
Do you use a trending app? They can really help at these times!
What is a trending app?
They show your "moving weight average", so sometimes a slight gain than shows on the scale, will actually trend as a loss. Helps keep the weird fluctuations of the scale more in perspective. I think there are several different sites/apps that do this function, I use weightgrapher.com0 -

@mamasara2
I use “Happy Scale” for iPhone. I know others on here use a different one for Android. It smooths your weights over time & predicts whether you will lose or gain in the future.
I think of it as an ADVANCED Warning System! The daily ups & downs can disguise your overall progress or lack thereof.
Happy Scale gives me a Trending Weight & my Loss/Wk number. If the loss/wk number starts falling, I know I need to tighten up on calories/exercise or I will lose less (or gain) in the future.
It gives you the info you need so YOU can be in control- NOT the Scale!

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieve permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
