Anyone have any clue whats going on here with me? This week I joined the give daily weigh in challenge. I have been doing it anyway on my own (when I break 200 I am going back to weighing only once a week and then eventually once or 2x a month) and just to keep me motivated and an eye on things. I have seen a steady loss since I started calorie counting and doing my daily workout (it is 30 mins and alternates with weights and then cardio days). I was seeing a steady downward motion and then this week I just saw increases every day. I am eating within my target calorie range, working out, and drinking all my water. My food choices are not sugary, or processed, and i am choosing lower carbs in my meals (I think I have the calculator set at 40% in mfp and before my diet was mostly carbs lol-- so this may not be low carb in the traditional sense but lower carb for me).

I know that health and weight are not linear, but I have been examining everything this week and can't pinpoint a direct cause. I eat healthy choices during the week (and relax a bit on the weekend and go for calorie target with my choices- so think a slice of pizza and a glass of beer).

Idk.. Not to be gross, but could it be a bathroom issue? I havent really gone for awhile . Sorry I am just looking for some idea/help/thoughts/answers.

Your potty situation could TOTALLY be it. How is your fiber intake? Also, is Aunt Flo about to visit? There are so many factors - I would not stress out over one week. TRUST THE PROCESS!!!!

Thanks for the reply.. I have the IUD so that's not been any issue with weight and bloating. But yea the fiber has been a huge hit when I went lower carb even though I am loading up on veg.. just not hitting my fiber target -- I did get a supplement to help but I have noticed a huge change in how often I am going since i Have reduced the sugar (apparently it was greasing the wheels!).

Thank you for the words of encouragement.. I really want to see 199 before 2019 and I am just working as hard as I can and trying not to get derailed.

@aosborne81 could be too much salt with the healthy choice dinners everyday. that could cause water retention

Friday Check In

Tracked: Yes
Calories: 1202 consumed/1300 goal
Water: I didn't really track this
Exercise: nothing official
Steps: 5161 - scheduled rest day

I was supposed to run a 5k this am, but my partner has strep and I didn’t want to make the 1:20 drive alone and cold... so I will attempt a solo 10k at a local park. Wish me luck!!!

Yesterday was the first day I logged all of my calories since the challenge began.😶But the weather is great
and I have that "inspired" feeling. Sometimes I just have to wait for that spark but I think I've got it now!

Almost weigh in day, maybe that was the push I needed. Best of feelings to everyone else today too!

Joining late, but I need something to keep me accountable as I try to get back on track. I just purchased a scale to at least weigh myself (I'm actually not at my home right now).

I've already initially lost and maintained, but I'm well outside of my maintenance range, and I need to rein it all in before it gets completely out of control. My initial focus is to get more exercise right now (been spending too much time sitting around), while I'm a caretaker to my elderly Mother.

This is so inspiring! My lightest has been 150 lbs on Halloween and since then, ironically it’s been nothing but a spiral downhill for a steady climb on the scale. Let’s do this guys!
