@pjmfitforme - that’s a great loss, when you say you’ve had 2 weeks with good losses, any idea if you did anything different? The reason I ask is when I get anything like a 1.5-2lb loss, the following week I get a gain or a tiny loss. Now I know it’s down to what I’m eating, as I weigh daily and take an average I know it’s not carb weight etc. I know it’s down to Cico - actually saying all that there is no mystery. It’s like I can’t stick to good behaviour for more than 1 week at a time. Ack!!!! I should say the only mystery gain was from the time when I was in anti inflammatory meds for a week where despite sticking to my cals, eventually I realised it was the meds (and the folk on here pointing it out)
I started following points on ww. Changed my way of eating. I still believe in cico-but needed to change up my eating. Also, more consistent with my exercise. I feel like you need to constantly change your eating/exercise routine to see results1 -

Hi @sunshineplace ,
I have been clear for a while that, for me, it's not just what I eat, but when. Restricting eating to no more than a 12 hour/day window was advice I got from a very qualified nutritionist (both a Certified Nutritionist and a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, stays up to date on research and has been working in the field for 25+ years). Dr. Joel Fuhrman, author of Eat to Live (the basic plan I follow), suggests upping it to 13 hours to give your body a little more time in the fat-burning state, and I have been paying attention to that.
Here's an article about the 12-hour window:
https://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/01/15/a-12-hour-window-for-a-healthy-weight/
I know there are lots of people doing intermittent fasting, restricting the window for eating to 8, 6, 4 hours, etc. I am happy to just nudge the time window a bit.

Sunday Check in
Calories: under
Water: over
Exercise: I only did a 20-minute recumbent bike ride today.
I went to an engagement party at my church today and of course, there were two tables loaded down with tasty food. I didn't go near that table. We stayed to see the happy couple and wish them well and then we said our goodbyes and came home to my sensible dinner. I'm proud of myself for not getting derailed.
@AustinRuadhain, I read that link on the 12-hour eating pattern. Very interesting. I've been thinking for a while now that I really need to cut out my evening snack. I know that if I go to bed a little hungry I usually always have a loss. I'm going to give it a serious try and see what happens in February.

Oooh! You deserve to be proud of yourself! Parties can be so challenging!
For what it's worth, @TeresaW1020 , I don't go hungry much. I just close the kitchen right after dinner! (And think of my mom and my grandmothers -- no snackers, all healthy weights, and all close(d) the kitchen after dinner!) If I think I am going to be hungry before bedtime, I add a bit more fat at that last meal.1 -
Sunday check in
Calories - probably over
water - not enough
exercise - rock climbing (indoor)
We went to the rock gym for a few hours today. It probably wasn't good for my shoulder, but I really really wanted to go. Then we had a mini birthday party at my parents house, so food was all over the place. Goal is to get out and run tomorrow afternoon, and then I've got to go to PT.0 -
@crmacph987 - Yikes to needing a new computer! And hurray to that brilliant loss!
@digger61 - Fabulous that you made it work while on the road and moving! SO impressive!
@pjmfitforme - Wonderful work! You are getting on a roll!

Hello everyone, finding the end of the month tough as the money dwindles before payday and it's tempting to yield to cheap treats. There are now digestive biscuits in the house too, because hubby asked for them.
I've only had 3 drink days all January, and recording them on Alcodroid has been eye-opening. I seriously recommend it for awareness of impact on your health as well as waistline and wallet. I wasn't doing 'Dry January' but telling people I was helped, so might just go for 'dry quarter' excuses to carry on. Or say I'm on antiobiotics or something. I am feeling generally fine, but various things getting in the way of sleep, so maybe the lack of alcohol is helping, but I'm not sure yet.
The broken toe is getting in the way of me getting any decent steps in, and I have not been to the gym. Maybe I can go swimming next weekend.
One of those weeks where those physiological and psychological factors have pushed me to eat a bit more than I should, so 1lb gain.

You are still doing great despite the tough month. I just heard someone on the radio say what a long month January is and yours must seem extra long given your broken toe and your boyfriend’s accident.
Take care this week!1 -

Great loss! Currently the moderators have moved you to the Drop List because of the no weigh ins. I’ll ask to have you moved back up. Did you want to change your weigh in day for February to one that might work better?0
