    I was expecting this after my fridge went out and all I had to eat was pb&j and grill cheese sandwiches the entire week.

    Not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in. I keep telling myself to focus, drink water and move more. Some days are great other days are a struggle. Not sure what tomorrow will look like.

    Not much but I'm satisfied, since it's finally going into the right direction again - and while I'm exercising at a lower intensity in this insane heat!

    I on a plateau, for sure. I'm either going to have to up my exercise or lower my daily calories. Good news is that I've lost 2 inches overall from my swimming. Yay for that!

    @empire5 Great workout today!
    @spinnerkind Those little losses add up!
    @Starshine15 2 inches is a huge accomplishment! When was the last time you updated your stats/goals on mfp's settings page. I kept forgetting to do that and when I finally did, mfp took 200 calories away from me!! I was one hangry girl for around a week or two!

    Going away for a long birthday weekend with my daughter, SIL and new grandbaby. Most likely some poor choices in my future (thinking fruity umbrella drinks) but I'll worry about that in August. See y'all in the next thread.

    I will take the .6 pound loss with getting back to some focus, and yesterday was my birthday and ate more than I should have but it was great. I walked a total of 6 miles in the morning and cleaned to help burn calories because I knew I was going out. I am also still sore from walking all week.

    My birthday is September 8 and my goal is to be under 200 by then, even if it’s 199. I am even more motivated now that I’m finally seeing a difference on the scale!

    @cory17 - isn't it horrible when that happens - 2 days in a row, huge difference. Do you think it was because you "celebrated" having lost more? Or was it just the usual up and down? I know I have a tendency to reward myself for a loss, which is the best way ever to ruin it. I heard recently that the "dinner" of indulgence always comes with the "dessert" of regret. Harsh, but true. But if you think the bounce upwards was just water or other variance that is difficult to control, then don't worry! It will correct itself. Either way, be sure to keep this coming week STRONG. <3

    @Perla4686 you too! Be strong! You have been doing brilliantly, so do NOT let this week stop you in your tracks or make you go back. Keep on keeping on o:)

    @jlbtnc way to go! Getting through a birthday with that many steps and still with a loss for the week is brilliant. You are moving AWAY from 200 more and more. You will soon have more company there - @AmyRobF by September 8th (also my sister's birthday!) and others. YES.

    I made a big loss this week, but I have entered my weight a bit higher than it actually was this morning - I know it cannot be real! I had a crazy day of eating too little and biking 25 km, so it will bounce back up for sure. In any case, I hit my original goal weight, even if temporarily! I am revising my goal down another 3-5 pounds, just to see if that could work. I am very short and small boned, so even when carrying a good amount of muscle, I don't weigh much. It isn't easy keeping the extra pounds at bay when only just over 5' tall, but I'm slowly getting used to what I need to do.

    Happy Friday, everyone - stop on by to let everyone know how you're doing!

    Happy Friday everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. Its been a crazy work week for me. Monday through Thursday, I literally sat in all day meetings each day. Since I wasn't on my home campus near necessary amenities like a microwave or refrigerator, I ate out every day this week, 2-3 times a day.

    I am so miserable from all the swelling from the sodium. Even my lymph nodes are super swollen under both arms. That only happens when I eat too much salt. I seriously cannot handle it anymore. Much to my surprise yesterday, I remember thinking if I eat at one more restaurant, I'm going to puke. Heretofore, I loved going out to eat, but that was before all of my hard work of healthy eating and exercising this summer. It was like I had reprogrammed my brain over the summer and I loved it!

    I'm going to take a pass on my weigh in tomorrow. I'll need to pee a river to get all this salt out of me.

    Thanks, @mram3582! I didn't realize that MFP controlled the calories. Hmmmmm? I've always put the calorie goal in myself - at least I know I've changed it a couple of times. I'll have to check that out. Golly, I hate to give up some calories, but I may have to in order to get off this plateau.
