I have a trigger ingredient (WHEAT) that leads me to compulsive eating and binging. So today is my day 1 of trying to avoid it and stick to my calorie limit. I would LOVE to lose 7 pounds of what is left of May. I forget about the wheat thing. The last few days been eating "All Bran" which is loaded with WHEAT.
1st day of abstinence.

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.

@deepwoodslady Thank you!
Beware TMI - It's my time of the month and the good thing about it is that I usually poop more which helps with all this extra food that I have been eating this week. I was ecstatic about my weigh-in because we are guilty of not having gone to the gym this week.
But we are planning on going on Sunday! Keep it up everyone!

Total loss for May: By scale weight, 1.8 pounds since 28 April. By ten-day average, I'm up about a half pound. Totally insignificant! Based on a trend, I've been maintaining within about a half pound of my goal since mid March.
I am still participating in this monthly weight loss challenge even though I'm in my goal range. I'm also participating in a maintenance challenge.
For fun, I looked back at some older data. Yeah. I did lose some.

I completely fell off of the Keto wagon but tomorrow I'm going to get right back on track. No matter how long the heck it takes, I'm never giving up! I will meet my goal of being 179 by the end of July!
I prayed about it, and it will happen! I'll pray for you too, Jenn.5 -

Not going to sweat this at all. I had to remind myself that this is what happened last month, and I pulled it out in the end. I have lost 17 inches so far, most of which fell off while the scale wasn’t moving. After clothes shopping yesterday, I cannot wait for the end of the month when I measure again! All of my NSV tell me I keep losing inches. I’ve also really stepped up my fitness from completing my goals at 100%, to 200% daily. Some of this could be water retention while my muscles heal.
Have a great week everyone! 🙌🏼

30 lbs GONE! 🥳
This week I learned the importance of recovery. Mine was forced due to a tendon strain across the inner right ankle. It’s pretty painful, but getting better each day. This allowed my sore muscles to give way and so did the scale! I was shocked! I felt so discouraged last Monday sitting in the chiro getting X-rays, ultrasound, and cold therapy - I thought, this is it, this is where I fail. But then I remembered who is in control here! I can’t burn the same amount of calories I could last week, but I can lift and it feels great!!
Keep going no matter what! Have a great week!! 👊🏼
