Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 - 158.8 - I just found the challenge and didn't make the best choices earlier today for lunch. Time to move on and do better!
7/18 - 155 - Not a real loss from yesterday, just weighed in the morning and will continue to do that for the rest of the challenge. Finished strong yesterday with some time on the elliptical and then weights. It felt great! 12,042 steps yesterday and made it into bed by 11.
7/19 - 155 - Exercised, ate within my range, and hit nearly 15,000 steps yesterday. Had to choose between getting to bed by 11 or exercise yesterday, and think that getting the workout in was the right choice. Feeling good. Well, actually feeling motivated since I've been lifting weights in front of a big window that acts like a mirror at night (So that's how I look in exercise gear??). It's a little unpleasant and bewildering since the full-length mirror part of my day is normally kept to the bare minimum.
7/20 - 154 - With an active day (puppy's first visit to the huge dog park near our home) and exercise, I hit nearly 17,000 steps yesterday. Bought some new clothes. I wanted to wait until I'd dropped a few pounds, but, at this weight, I was really asking too much of the old ones. It's quite nice to be wearing pants that fit today where the buttons aren't just barely hanging on for dear life. Only ate when hungry and had a good day.
7/21 - 154 - 11,000 steps, a bike ride and in bed by 11 yesterday. Had a special dinner that wasn’t healthy, but it was delicious. Tracked it all, skipped dessert and opted for that bike ride instead.

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!

Round 47
SW: 74kg May 2018
UGW: 62kg Oct/Nov 2018
*Analogue scales*
7/17 72.5kg - yesterday's 74 was just a weekend souvenir, but this round it is time to get serious, been around the 72-74kg mark too long!
7/18 73kg TOM
7/19 not weighed, at home sick. Not done too badly on calories, despite eating pizza for dinner, but managed to go for a walk
7/20 73kg ugh so annoyed, another day at home and no workout. Will go for a walk laterand hopefully fit for the gym or a run tomorrow
7/21 73kg - not happy, but spent all day home on the sofa again, still unwell. While i didn't eat the best stuff, i did count and didn't completely mess up. Will see if I feel up for a walk today, definitely no gym or run yet!
7/22 73kg - will be going for sunday roast, so Monday will be yet another new start
7/236 -
3rd round let's go! 😃USW (04.06.2018): 210 lbs
UGW: 144 lbs
Challenge goal weight: 183 lbs
Previous rounds: R39 SW: 196.2 lbs EW: 190.7 lbs (-5.5)
R46 SW: 185.8 lbs EW: 183.4 lbs (-2.4)
7/17 - 182.8 lbs Off to a great start! Been going really slow for 2 months, and this is the first time that it speeds up a bit again. May it last all the way to the finish line hahah. I know it's not a race, but it's important to have some fun along the way 😂
7/18 - 181.6 lbs Woosh! wow, this is great! Haven’t been doing anything differently foodwise. Can’t wait to finally see the 170 number.
7/19 - 180.8 lbs Woooho! I’m just really enjoying this. I have felt so uncertain for 2 months, because weight loss has been going sooo slow.. But I think I’m the type of person that drop a lot of weight, then it pauses, then it drops again.
7/20 - 179.8 lbs. Byebye 180! Going out to enjoy the sun today ☀️ Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
7/21 - 179.4 lbs
7/22 - 180.0 lbs Oops 🙈 Didn’t go over my calorie goal, but I ate reeeally late last night.. I think I ate my last meal at around 1 AM. Usually stop eating after 8 PM. Thinking that this has something to do with the sudden gain. Hopefully I will never see you again after this week 180 😂

Away again for a few days this round for sons wedding up in Yorkshire but intend to do my best and eat as well as I can as off on holiday in just over two weeks
Round goal by next Thursday is to finish in the 135's to stay on track to reach 133 by my holiday.......
07/17 - 135.80lb (-0.80lb). Happy happy happy I've been properly focused recently and this is the result. Guess its the thought of my holiday, wearing shorts and being on the beach - and I don't want to scare of the locals! My goal for the round was 135 something - so there already but am away over the weekend again so looking to still be here (but will happily take and will aim for a bit lower!) when the round ends..... 134 something ?
07/18 -134.50lb (-1.30lb) - no idea where this large drop has come from but happy to take it - especially as its probably my lowest weight for many years - probably pre my wedding 18 years ago! Did have a tough gym session last night - HiiT and then treadmill cardio interval training - so maybe must water loss ? Either way, happy today so definitely keeps me motivated
07/19 - 134.60lb (+0.1lb) technically up but given the massive drop the last couple of days I am more than ok with this and to be honest will be happy to settle around here by rounds end
Another good food day planned, gym tonight followed by hubbys home made burger - yummy!
07/20 - 135.30 (+0.70lb) Not sure - food was all good and in calorie allowance so can only blame my husband as he made the burgers last night which were a carb heavier dinner than I normally have However am not upset or discouraged as still 1.3lb down from the start of the round 
07/21 - 135.40lb (+0.1lb) - seem to have stabilised round here for a bit which is all good with me! Off away again tomorrow morning for sons wedding in Yorkshire so a few days ahead that I need to make sure I remotely stay in control as off on hols in under two weeks
07/22 - 134.50lb (-0.9lb) Glad I had a quick weigh in this morning now. Just the next few days of hotel breakfasts, meals out and wedding food to get through! But at this weight will feel happy in my dress

Round 47 Goal: -2
Day/Weight/Comment
7/17- 253.4 I like these 10-day chunks. Goal today is water first and drink 90+ oz. ✅
7/18 - 253.2 water first ✅ continues to be the goal for the week
7/19 - 254.0 ✅ I found myself eating whatever because I was tired
7/20 - 254.4 water first, eat more veggies ✅, be mindful - I did eat more veggies but was lax on the water. The salad I ordered from a gourmet food truck (best option) was a small portion and little protein ☹️ As a result, I overate when I got home and was not mindful in my choices.
7/21 - 255.2 water first, veggies
7/22 - 253.6 yesterday, I wasn’t mindful at all - super lazy - today I’m prepping for a better week

7/17 210.6 Was disappointed. Hoping to go down had really watched what I had ate. Had a late supper because I had worked late, maybe…. Tomorrow is a new day. Need to drink water and watch what I eat.
7/18 210.4 at least in the right direction. If only I didn’t LNE last night. Urggg.
7/19 209.3 That was a great start to my day!!!!
7/20 207.8 Yes! Yes! Amazing! What a shock. No LNE last night! This could motivate me to stop eating so late and so obsessively
7/21 206.7 I don’t feel this is deserved (but I will take it) my inactivity yesterday is bound to show up some day.

My official weekly weigh in, is Tuesday evening @ TOPS, so my ticker tape will reflect that loss.
My daily weight is on my home scale, so I can monitor how my week is going.
My ultimate goal is 175lbs, so any loss is a good loss.

Change of plans for this round...I've decided to stop worrying about these last 8-13 pounds and focus on eating healthfully most of the time at or just below maintenance, getting a variety of exercise, and generally making the most of the summer. As long as I don't gain, everything is fine. If I lose a little, all the better. I also aim to reboot my daily meditation practice, which I used to do faithfully. It's all part of the picture.
Goals:
Food ~~ 1430 calories max; P 15-25%, C 35-50%, F 25-35%; mostly clean & healthful
Exercise: 60 minutes/day of walking/swimming + yoga/stretch class 3X/week
Weight ~~ maintain or lose slowly.

Day/Moving Ave Weight/Calories Day Before/10-day calorie ave/Exercise/Comment
7/17 - 148.4 - 1495 - 10-day ave 1422 - 30-min walk-run intervals
I've been driving myself crazy about not losing despite cutting back to the point of going hungry, so I've changed my goals a bit. I'll be aiming for my sedentary maintenance calories (1430) plus up to half of what I earn in exercise -- happily, I'm finally back to daily walks/swimming and I'm looking at bikes. Now to resume weight training.... I've also changed my weight goal to 140, which will put me in the "normal" BMI range. I may eventually want to lose another 5-10, but I need to stop obsessing about that.
7/18 - 148.5 - 1401 - 10-day ave 1423 - 90-min slow zoo walk
Good day yesterday, although I had a bit more sodium than usual (and my actual weight went up). Last evening we went to the zoo and walked around the Indonesian Rain Forest exhibit for about 90 minutes, which was wonderful.
7/19 - 148.4 - 1345 - 10-day ave 1403
My iPad seems to have died
so I'm guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight came back down, so this is close. Beautiful weather still, so I'm looking forward to a nice long walk. I'm feeling much less stressed about weight since I decided maintaining is fine!
7/20 - 148.4 - 1343 - 10-day ave 1383
I'm still guessing at my moving average, but my actual weight is holding steady, so this is close. All good. Rainy day today (which is good!) so I'll do my walking indoors at the Y. For the past few days I've been waking up with serious neck and lower back pain - no idea what happened all of a sudden, but I'm no a happy camper. I'm hoping to see a chiropractor today or Monday. Who has time for this nonsense??? Anyway, happy Friday, all.
7/22 - 148.4 - 1370 - 10-day ave 1316
The loss doesn't show since I'm using my moving average, but my actual weight is down & now equals my moving ave. Clothes are fitting looser no matter what the scale says. All good!
7/23 - 148.6 - 1704 - 10-day ave 1370
Little bit of a splurge yesterday, but no junk food! It will balance out today. Still all good.

SW 172.6
GW 166
UGW 125
7/17 --172.4 slightly disappointed, exercised my *kitten* off yesterday. I do, do a lot if weight work so I'm thinking taking my measurements might be a good idea, in case my muscle building effects the scale...don't need the scale to mess with my head. Drank 1.5 liters of water...Still working on it. I think I need to start eating breakfast though, I tend to skip till lunch.
7/18--172.8 super dissapointed. I work out for 2 hours a day, trying to go for three. Like I said yesterday I do a lot with weights so planning to keep it all cardio today...Hopefully I will see a change on the scale. On the bright side I have noticed my clothes aren't as tight, so just trying to keep that in mind. I hate how easy it is to gain but so hard to loose. So frustrating...argggg. 1.25 liters of water yesterday. Also working on eating better...lately I haven't been hungry because of the working out so tend not too eat until late lunch or only at dinner, having about one meal a day. Probably should change this.
7/19--172.2 alright a slight loss, I will take it. Ate good yesterday, had 1.5 liters of water..working on it, exercised all cardio and one weight train so that helped lol. Thinking of trying the clean eating, seems to work well with some people on here.
7/20--173.8 not surprised, I not only had a rest day when it came to exercising, my muscles were so sore from the day before, but I also made home made pizza for the hubby and my younger brothers and although at first I stayed away, I eventually wanted to try a little, which turned into a slice, which turned into desert...brownies. 1 liter of water. Back on track today though and I learnt my lesson. Rest days aren't the right days to side track my diet as well, choose one. I will put in the work today and hopefully this will be gone tomorrow.
7/21--172.4 could have done better last night with my eating, had two biscuits, looking for more nutritional food to eat but otherwise I am happy with my loss. Did less exercising then usual but I at least I got it done so I am satisfied. 1 liter of water. Hoping for more of a loss the next five days *fingers crossed*
7/22--172 did well yesterday, got in my exercising ate pretty good for breakfast and dinner but couldn't help the snacking throughout the day...oops. Lol no LNE which was hard because I found myself starving around 10 30, i will take it as a win. 1.5 liters of water. Hoping to be out of the 170s by the end of this. Argggg.

*log every day
7/17 160.4 Last round was a yoyo but here we go again. Still having fun and enjoying the process. Not depriving myself but working on balance and being conscious of my choices.
7/18 160 Yay! I am so happy to get rid of that .4...This round should yield the 150's!!!
7/19 160 Is is cheating to take this though it was one of three weights when I stepped on the scale? Oh well, who cares, I am taking it!
7/20 159.8 Pretty good day even eating out at lunch. Enjoyed a nice morning shopping (mainly returning) and then lunch at True Food Kitchen, which has calorie counts listed on the menu! bonus! I estimated that they may be low when tracking, and stayed pretty much on target except for an extra spoon of chunky peanut butter, but it was just what I was craving.
7/21 158.2 Loving this big drop after last round's fail, though as I am learning the daily fluctuations are not the real indicator of overall loss. But still happy to see this number :-) I took the dogs for a walk before it got hot, and mostly stayed on target until after dinner. I have a weakness for sweets and "protein bars" are my current "legal" indulgence. I have a love hate relationship with them, because they are processed, not really that good, yet somewhat satisfy the craving and are measurable and semi non bingeable (as opposed to homemade cookies or scones, my former go-to for sweet tooth satisfaction) ***I just discovered and went for a Korean Scrub! Look it up and make it a reward! My skin is baby soft and it was such a unique experience!!***
7/22 159.4 Just got the HAPPY SCALE app, and for a data geek like me this is perfect! There are all sorts of way to track your progress and break the big goals down, love it! Thanks @MadisonMolly2017 for the recommendation! It tells me that if I continue at my current weight loss rate I will reach my final goal in 13 weeks. Love this!

7/17 - 185.4 - Had a great eating day yesterday, keeping it up again today!
7/18 - 183.8 - Look what happens when you eat and exercise properly consistently!
7/19 - 184.4 - Had a healthy eating day yesterday, think this might be sodium intake though. I had a handful of chips with supper last night.
7/20 - 183.8 - I am feeling a bit better this round so far. It's early yet and the weekend hasn't hit, but I am determined to stay on track.
7/21 - 184.8 - Didn't get the exercise in yesterday I was hoping for. Thunderstorms, rain and hail most of the afternoon and evening.
7/22 - 184.8 - Way too many carbs yesterday, feeling it today. Did get exercise and was under calorie goal though.

7/17- 228.2 Yay! I thought for sure that I would have a bump today. I guess walking all day countered the two eating out meals today. I’m seeing a trend where my beginning and end rounds are great (barring poor food choices and/or not enough water). Bumps tend to be towards the middle of the round. Learning lots about myself.
7/18- 227.4 Beyond stoked!
7/19- 226.8 Sixth consecutive day logging a loss. Doing very well this round. Not doing anything differently than last round so I don’t know why that is but I will take it.
7/20- 226.4 Fully anticipated a bump given I was snacking a bit here and there yesterday. Also seemed extra thirsty this morning. May see it catch up to me I’m the coming days and I’m okay with that.
7/21- 226.6 There it is. Need to push water. Triple digits outside next few days. Eek.
7/22- 227.4 weekend + not enough water + pizza for dinner = recipe for mid-round bump. Bummer.

7/20- 174 Had 1 Henry's hard grape soda last night. Didn't finish it all (didn't really care for it), still stayed in my calorie range. Other than this all I ever drink is water and 1-2 cups of coffee per day 😊
7/21- 173 yayy! I do not have a digital scale, it's just a basic old fashioned scale so I am not sure how accurate it is but I am definitely seeing and feeling a difference 😊

Day/Weight/Comment
7/17 - 184.3 - I worked out really hard yesterday and ate within my calories. My body usually holds on to water after a hard work out so maybe the scale will budge tomorrow.
7/18 - 183.5 - I'm glad to see that scale budge! I went a little off track yesterday in the diet department, so I'm going to try to clean it up today hope for the best.
7/19 - 183.7 - I didn’t hit my water goal yesterday so I was expecting the scale to go up more than that. I’ll make sure I fix that today and tomorrow.
7/20 - No scale - camping
7/21 - 182.8 - I wasn't quite expecting that since I was away for a couple of days, but I ate LCHF for the whole time and I'm a little dehydrated so I guess it makes sense. Happy for the loss either way!
7/22 - 183.9 - We went to a food truck festival yesterday. I don’t regret it one bit! While I ate a lot, I tried to stay LCHF. I definitely did not drink enough water yesterday so I’ll keep trying on that goal.

Day/Weight/Comment
07/17 - Weight = 159.0 (down .6 from yesterday) I'm *hopefully* solidly under 160 after 3 days of weighing under that. 1st milestone achieved! Very happy to get to this number, this is the lowest I've weighed this year, haven't been this weight since December of last year. Yesterday was super hot and humid and my day 29 exercise challenge was power yoga which was really like a hot yoga with the buckets of sweat that fell off me. Today I compete my 30 day challenge with a full body Tabata style workout. Looking forward to the next 10 days, this is the best challenge on mfp!
07/18 - Weight = 158.1 (down .9 from yesterday) I had Subway for lunch yesterday - UGH! I haven't had any type of fast food in over 30 days and wow did I feel awful after it. I limit gluten most days, because I just feel better when I do that, but add in processed gluten like Subway's bread and I was so nauseous I didn't eat anything else really the rest of the day because of how I felt, so super low calories day which isn't great. Exercise wise, the day was AWESOME!!! I completed day 30 of the 30 day challenge I was doing and it was a super intense Total Body Tabata workout: Star Jumps, Reverse Table Top Dips, Skater Twists, Supermans, Reverse Burpees, & Pike Push-Ups. I'm crazy pound of myself for completing this and the changes from it I can really see and more importantly feel, like how much stronger I am now compared to where I started. I've given myself 2 days "off" to have a little break and decide which program I am doing next, still trying to decide between another 30 day or the 90 day. I was fairly certain yesterday about going with the 30 but this morning I feel more like the 90 day program is in the lead.
07/19 - Weight = 157.8 (down .3 from yesterday) I'm tired! Did not get to bed until a little after 3 a.m. last night and up at little before 8 this morning. Sleep is so important, obviously for many reasons - but it really plays a part in hunger. I'm so hungry this morning and I do IF 16:8 so I don't eat until 10:30/11:00 a.m., which normally is no issue at all but today I'm counting down the minutes. Yes, I know I could just go ahead and eat earlier but this is my plan and I stick to it when possible and today it is possible...I'm just cranky from no sleep. I'm on the 2nd of my planned 2 day rests from exercise and I'm ready to get back at it tomorrow, might just start today if I can stay awake
07/20 - Weight = 160.7 (up 2.9 from yesterday) I'm not the slightest bit upset by this number, I know I did not gain 2.9 lbs overnight. I made a conscious, planned decision to have a dinner last night that put me over my calories for the day for the 1st time since I recommitted to my weight loss on 6/18. I didn't "cheat", these weren't "bad" foods, I wasn't "naughty", this is called life. I am focused on living a healthy life and know that part of that is moderation in everything so that this is sustainable for the long haul and sometimes that means being okay with making choices that are not part of my normal routine. As of today, my 2 exercise rest days are over and I am starting my new exercise plan today and I'm pretty excited about it. This one is a 90 day program compared to the 30 day I just finished. These are still all body weight exercises, but compared to the last program which was a new workout each day, in this one there are workouts that get repeated. I think I had such great results on the last one because my muscles got a new challenge each day but I think in this one I will be able to gauge my strength building better as I see how my ability to do certain moves changes over time. Have a great day everyone!
07/21 - Weight = 159.6 (down 1.1 from yesterday) Weight coming back down after the bump up from Thursday's dinner. I completed day 1 of 90 of my exercise challenge which was 3 sets of Body Squats, Push Ups, Stationary Lunges, Flowing Down Dog, Alternating Front Kick, Static V Sit, Fore Arm Plank and then got in a little extra calorie burn jumping at the trampoline park with my daughter and her friend. I was way too busy yesterday and my nutrition suffered from it. I left the house at 4:30 and wasn't back until after 9 so didn't get a real dinner. Was super hungry this morning so not doing IF today, nice solid breakfast in and feel much better and ready to get a great day in!
07/22 - Weight = 159.4 (down .2 from yesterday) Still working to get back down to Thursday's weight, was under calories yesterday but my sodium was a bit too high. My nutrition has not been on point this past week, so taking the time today to menu plan before shopping and then going to do a big meal prep later today for the upcoming week. Day 2 of 9 on my exercise challenge was a rest day but I'm just coming off 2 rest days so I took an active day. Went for a run in great weather, 84 degrees with a nice breeze, came back and did some much needed yoga stretches and then ended up doing a good Tabata workout later in the day. Only 4 more weigh-ins in this challenge, reaching my goal of the 157's might not be possible but I'm going to finish really strong!

7/17 / 227.6 at 6:10 / Backing away from my muscle repair and pho water retention. Another good eating day in the books yesterday and I woke up much more limber than yesterday morning!
7/18 / 227.4 at 7:20 / Feeling great. I'm experimenting with going meatless some days and finding it pretty easy. That helps me ensure that I'm getting plenty of fruits and veggies those days, and I try new foods that way, too. And 5 days since last Monday I've had days where I only drank water or (one day) tea. These little challenges are keeping me on my toes and very conscious of what I'm eating, which is a great thing for me, as I can get very much in a rut.
7/19 / 226 at 8:10 / Nice to see this number popping up again like an old friend! Yesterday was a day when I did lots of wall sits. Wall sits are hard, for the record.

7/18: 178.0!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! Walked a lot yesterday and today as well. Nutrition still shaky.
7/19: 179.2 Hmmmm….
7/20: 180.0 So, I was thinking about the show, My 600-lb Life, and how irritated I become when the people refuse to stick to the eating plan or refuse to exercise. And then I had an epiphany. OMG – I am them. This is my fifth round and I’ve only lost 6-ish pounds (it was 8 a couple of days ago, but here I am). I convince myself that eating utter garbage, food-like substances is ok as long as I’m within goal. Or I exercise enough to cover the overage. Honestly, WHEN will I learn. What would Dr. Now say? I imagine people throwing things at their screens and sighing in disgust if I was on some kind of weight loss show. Where do I get the nerve to judge other people when I have not mastered the seemingly simple task of eating well and moving more? Time to smarten up!!! But will I … stay tuned!!!
7/21 180.4 – Wrong direction, Mr. Scale!!! Ate relatively well today and managed to get in my 10,000ish steps. Hope the scale takes that into consideration in the morning.
7/22 180.2 – Very slight downward movement. Hoped for a teeny bit more but I’ll take what the scale gods have to offer. Some much needed rain for the grass today. Temptation is great to be super lazy but will work on getting at least 10,000 steps today.

•7/17- 190.6 - Expected. All of my food yesterday was eaten in one hour last night. I was not doing OMAD, just didn't eat all day. This is a week about others and not me. Helping DIL with decorating for Granddaughter's 5th B'day party. That means I'm crafting decorations until 12m - 1am nightly. Yesterday and today helping my niece, who is like a daughter to me, set up her kitchen in her new house.
Next week I'm sure I'll be helping her with some other things as she and her family settle in. 45g carbs, 36g net carbs. Cauliflower and cheddar cheese soup, 2 cups!, salad greens, strawberries with almond butter and whipped cream, again.
•7/18 -190.2 - Early weigh in. Tired. Retaining fluid. Much to do for this b'day party, so full court press is on. 40g carbs, 32g net carbs. Peanut butter, salad, spinach, celery & apple in chicken salad. Too much coffee yesterday.
I want coffee now.
•7/19 - 190.2 at 8:30am. 191.8 at 5:30am. Retaining fluid. 42g carbs, 26g net carbs. Lettuce, whole roma tomato, jalapeno slices, low carb flatbread, peanut butter.
•7/20 190 - Early weigh in. Surprised it's not more, since I had only 5 hours of broken sleep. Active mind, don't want to forget to take any decoration elements for DGD's party. Saturday at 2pm it will all over. Salad, pistachios and peanut butter. 44g carbs, 34g net carbs. Pistachios are VERY CARBY.
•7/21 - No weigh in. - Not much food yesterday, but a lot of extra calories over maintenance. Did not sleep all night. Stayed up decorating for party, fueled by peanut butter. 51g carbs, 46g net carbs. Peanut butter, broccoli slaw, poppyseed salad dressing.
•7/22 - 189.4 - Yesterday was B'day party day. Really surprised about the weight, not surprised about the carb count. Well, I'll see what tomorrow brings. I prepared my own food for yesterday and took it with me, but the outdoor mermaid party had to be indoors due to the pouring rain.
17 children and probably that same number of adults in the house. It was easier to just eat the food in front of me. The bread was to fill me up and before eating it, I made up my mind to accept the consequences for it. Now my baby is "officially" 5. Her birthday was days ago, but she told me then that she's not five until she blows out her candles. Lol.
187g carbs, 179g net carbs. Sandwich roll (2), potato chips (about 1/4 cup of broken pieces), cheese curls (2) and cupcake. Frozen fruit, tomato, lettuce. Totally exhausted. Peanut butter and sleep after returning home.

dinner not so much. I was so mentally and physically tired that I stopped at Wendy's on the way
home. Knew it was the wrong thing to do. I do this all the time--too tired to fix a meal so I stop for
fast food. This is where my trouble always starts. So, now that I have identified my major problem, I
have to work on the solution. After some research last night, I think meal prep on the weekend for the work
week will do wonders for me. I don't have to worry about "what to do" for dinner after a stressful day
at work. I can just come home and pop it in the oven/microwave and there I go! I will say the one
thing that is working for me is drinking water. It has gotten a lot easier to drink so much of it as
long as I put some limes in it.
7/20: 327.6 Well, no loss but I’ll take it. Did have pasta for dinner and I love my pasta! Need to work on portion size though.
7/21: 327.8 Pasta again. Love my pasta, but need to be more disciplined when it comes to portion size.
7/22: 326.8 Did really well today. Made good food choices. Need to keep with this trend.

@DebCountsAll, You may have to do something a little more drastic to break through that weight. Take one day to eat a little higher than maintenance, but your food, water and sodium intake must be on point. This has worked for me. Sometimes you have to experiment.
@cdavisdeva, I track MFP'S future weight prediction. Once or twice a week, I record the predicted weight 5 weeks ahead in my food diary to see if I meet it. I have met or exceeded the weight 99% of the time.6 -
Just starting back on MFP after a year and a half absence where I gained back everything I had lost, sheesh! So I am back to logging my food and happy I am. I am still recovering from an injury so exercise is somewhat limited at the moment to light walking, yoga and easy gardening. I miss those extra exercise calories. Looking forward to getting to know yoou all and sharing the journey to health and fitness.
Starting weight 152 first time around, this time 155
Goal weight 140
7/17 154
7/18 153.5
7/19 152 in that first week so I know this is water weight but still it feels good to see the scale go down instead of up.
7/20 151.5
7/21 152 dinner which was yummy but tricky counting calories.
7/22 152 aftenoon brunch today at my favorite gf restaurant so I am preplanning for a light late meal to compensate.
