Loss this Week:
+6 lbs
Total Loss:

What's Working/What Needs Work:
I"m not sure this is accurate at all. The scale's reading changes a lot depending on where I put it on the floor, so I think I"m going to have to break down and buy a new one. Mine has a lithium battery in it and its at least 4 years old.
I'm not crossing back over 230 lbs, though. While I'm set to actually be losing 1 lb/wk, I'm over eating that amount daily; I'm not getting the activity in any more thanks to winter hours and it shows. I don't know how much if any that I've actually regained though because of water weight fluctuations and the scale.
But I had said I was going to try to maintain from October to December, so as long as the scale stays below 230 lbs, I can live with it. Hopefully I can get back to it in January to push for at least another 30 lbs off.
Meanwhile, the scale has become dramatically less important to me in the recent 3 weeks since I last posted a weight recording. In that time frame, I've picked up a beau, so you can imagine that my interests and attentions are all completely focused elsewhere at the moment
He too is working on losing a massive amount of weight and is much nearer the beginning of his efforts than I am, but it helps a lot because we are encouraging each other. He does Keto because it works best for him, I do calorie counting because it works best for me, but I am starting to experiment with keto recipes just to see if I can make them work to satisfy me. In hopes, anyway 
At the very least, my depressed mood of the last several months has been greatly elevated! Now if I can just do something about my job, which is becoming more miserable by the day

What's Working/What Needs Work:
I'm not sure what is going on with my scales. I get a totally different reading depending on where on my floor I put the darn thing - both new and old! At one point, I got as high a reading as 226.7 lbs, but then I started to consistently get lower readings down as low as 221 lbs. On both. I've finally decided to settle for the first reading of 224.2 as my record weight for today which is still much better than last weeks and keeps me well within that 10 lb range I'm allowing for myself for the holiday period.
I got a warning from MFP though with this weigh in - claimed I was losing too fast and needed to evaluate my goals. Nope, its not my goals; its water weight and scale issues!
I've finally made my peace with maintaining between 220 and 230 lbs, and that has helped some of my stress. I can hopefully get re-started in January and make a concerted effort to be in Onderland by summer, I hope.
Work is still a major stress, however, and I have a check in with the supervisor next week I'm not looking forward to at all
Meanwhile, I've made travel plans for February to Wisconsin, depending on weather and whether or not the relationship is still progressing by then. I had to make reservations now, though, to get the price. Tickets are refundable if it all falls through, at least :g
But it will have 3 months by then; I figure that's far enough along to take the plunge and actually go up to meet in person, right? Though we have technically met in person before, at that conference 2 years ago. 8 -

I'm not sure what is going on with my scales. I get a totally different reading depending on where on my floor I put the darn thing - both new and old!
All the floors in my house are poorly layed hardwood - no two peices are even, and they keep shifting - my scale was going bonkers. I've put a 3/4 inch square of plywood under the scale - and it seemed to make a big difference. It is consistent now (though it still doesn't seem to drop fast enough :-) )
Congratulations and taking the leap!!!! I'm so enjoying your side-story of romance. !!!!3 -

Alternatively, you can choose one specific place (as sturdy as possible) to put your scale on, and always weigh yourself there, without ever having to move it around.1

I can't leave my scale out - the floor isn't big enough square footage, and I've found I can't quite get it exact - though that would beg questions from guests if they see a magic marker square outlined in front of the sink lol

Isn’t there a scale in a local grocers?....you could get weighed on it once or twice a week....I go to the grocery store 4 or 5 days a week lol1

No, no scale there. Besides, I don't want to have to figure out what to subtract for clothing lol
I'm not doing all that great in sticking to it lately, too many temptations of hte evening inspiring my creative side when it comes to snacking. But it seems to be coming out in the wash, at least - I must be getting more activity in than I thought.1 -
Wouldn't it will be a little more exciting if you just disrobe there?bmeadows380 wrote: »Besides, I don't want to have to figure out what to subtract for clothing lol
(you would probably get a bit of exercise too!)

What's Working/What Needs Work:
obviously its not working at the moment and I have to acknowledge it. I have not been doing well at all on logging or sticking to my deficit lately. While its been good in that it means I'm not in a deficit and thus its been like an extended diet break, its not good because my weight is creeping very slowly back up and I have GOT to figure out how to put a stop to it and get back in control! But there's a lot of stress in my life lately, its the holiday season, and the drive to eat is overpowering the fragile willpower I have left to devote to diet. Not being able to get out and walk like I was doing this summer is having a huge impact on me. I do have the elliptical but I can't get the willpower to force myself to use it or to do the cardio. I tell myself I will when I get up of a morning, but then I can't actually force myself to do it. *sigh*
I'm not giving up though - for one thing, if this romance I'm currently exploring stays positive and ends where he and both are hoping it does, I want to get back into onderland even more now than before! He's very encouraging on that front - not because he's pushing me to lose it for vanity, because he's happy with me now, but because of health and because its what I want for myself. And he's doing well on the weight loss front himself and I am supporting him for the same reasons - I'm quite fine with him as he is now, but am also encouraging him to look after his health, especially since he's hitting the big 5-0 this year; I want him around and healthy for a long time to come! lol
But anyway, I get through the next 2 weeks then I can hopefully focus again on diet and get some exercise routine going again. Hopefully.4
