I'm married!!!!
I ate everything I wanted this (wedding) weekend - Korean BBQ, boba tea, snacks, strawberry lemonade, etc.
Usually, I would choose not to order anything sweet when we eat out since I really don't crave it anymore and I never finish the drink so I choose to not spend $3 or $4 on a drink that I finish halfway but no cares were given.
Have a great week everyone.

I'm still stuck in the same 7 to 10-lb bracket in my weight-loss journey. My lowest was 185 back in Jan. and I can't seem to get back there. A lot has to do with stress; 3 more weeks until my niece moves back to Florida. I love her dearly but all of the stress taking care of her really is effecting my weight progress (or lack of it). So, for now it's just ups and downs....189...190...194...193...back to 190. You get the drift. I feel like I really won't see any REAL change until June. That's just the honest truth. So, right now it's all about maintenance and just keep hiking and stick to my low carb diet....
Goal: Maintain late 180s/lower190s until June.
Looks like you and I are still two peas in a pod, I'm just stuck a few pounds higher than you. We're both 'stuck' but neither of us are quitting. I'm in if you are! Let's just muscle through it. Things will move in the right direction, eventually!

Definitely a good start. I’m working super hard for it and it’s nice to see the numbers move a little.
I did take all of my measurements at the beginning of the month for the first time ever. I’m super excited to see how those change. I really needed something non-scale to track when the scale gives me attitude.
In hindsight I wish I had been taking measurements all along.

I will take it. Even if I only lose 1 lb this month I will be happy. It seems to be going a bit better now that I am getting outside more and I am finding it easier to increase my TDEE.5 -

Today's Thoughts: Got it below end of April weight, and trend is promising. Continue to monitor Calories In using MFP and Calories Out / Deficit using FitBit stats. Took a while to really understand what FitBit is doing. I'm learning more about my body, and learning to let go of what used to work when I was much younger. The ugly truth is that age + a desk job that keeps my butt in a chair is taking a toll that is much harder to overcome. More alarming - those days that work literally exhausts me and I end up plopping down in the recliner to "recover" are sabotaging every gain I make ... and "slugging" is not doing anything to clear my head and relieve the stress. It also doesn't help to know that cortisol production increases during periods of stress, so it's a double whammy.
For example, yesterday I worked from 7:30 am until after 8pm (thankfully, I'm able to telework). I was right at 1,000 steps, 0 exercise minutes, and 1 250 step "dot" for 10 hours <- and that was only because I paced around while on a call. While the hours worked aren't typical, the activity (or lack thereof) is. When I tell you I have to fight for steps, I am not exaggerating. My average calorie burn for that type of day is 1280. That's a formula for weight creep if there ever was one
And, that's about where I was last night. I forced myself to get up, get my 25 minute aerobic routine in, and march in place for 1000 steps. I still didn't hit my step goal, but it shook the cobwebs, got rid of the tension in my neck and shoulders, and I slept like a log.
Bonus - I have learned that marching in place, using my arms, nets me far more benefit than a walk around the neighborhood. It ups my heart rate AND my calorie burn. By about double the benefit step for step.
If I am going to drop, I HAVE to get a minimum of 3000 steps, hit at least 250 of those steps per hour for 5 of my 10 hour time frame of 7-5, and get 15 minutes per day of my aerobics or strength training to get that 500 calorie deficit with a healthy calorie intake. Anything less and my intake allowance is hovering at 700-800 calories - and that's neither healthy nor sustainable. Knowing that makes it easier to pry myself out of the recliner - and it tells me my game plan is spot on for my goals.
May Game Plan:- Continue weekly meal planning
- Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500
- No calorie intake after 8pm
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 Seven day average: 3929
- Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 Seven day average: 29
- Increase strength building exercise from 6 days to 7 Seven day average: 6

58 years old, 5'3"
Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191
May goal 159.9
April loss - 7.7
March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs
April 30 - 167.9
May 01 - 165.1 I counted that in the April loss. It made up for February and March
May 02 - 164.3 - Saw this 164 number on April 26, glad to see it again. 5 more pounds to get out of the obese range. Working on it!
I usually keep it simple, calories in, calories out, and deficit. My change had been that I started to have greek yoghurt because with my dental issues it was a nice soft thing to have. I wonder if that has made the difference.
May 03 - 163.2 - I really stayed in bed late today and weighed before drinking water. I guess more time between eating and weighing myself. Planned night out, dinner, drinks, a concert.
May 04 - 165.0 - Pretty much expected, up almost 2 pounds in a day. This is why I rarely go out with friends any more, bad for the waistline. Went out with skinny friends last night argh, they don't have to be careful at all. I will get it back down, but it could take awhile. Oh well, I had a very good time.
May 05 - 166.4 - Back on track, but stuff from Friday is still showing up. Maybe tomorrow will be better : - )
