    Your weight up and downs are, I admit, substantial. Kudos to your hamsters for keeping it together!

    @conniewilkins56 - fantastic job staying the course!!!

    My hamsters may be a bit jealous... They're very numerically motivated. 🤣 If I recall, my last time around the weight loss mountain, I got stuck where I am now... So they're feeling a little bit of deja vu and lodging complaints. Time to shake things up!!

    As long as those scales continue a downward trend, all is right with our worlds!

    I see good and substantial results and solid trajectories.

    Reasonable goals that motivate are good. Achieving a process that will eventually allow you to reach your goal *and stay there* is even more important I think.

    Achieving a pound a week represents a substantial deficit and results in a substantial decrease in weight over time (52lbs a year, for example: try swinging that kettlebell around! 😹)

    I've averaged both a 695 average calories a day deficit for a year. And a 125 average Cal a day deficit over a year.

    I will honestly say that even though the results of the first were more dramatic, neither of the two was easier, or harder to implement at the time.

    I will also say that the degree of hamster 🐹 checking necessary to make sure that things were not going off the rails by over restricting or by making short-term decisions instead of keeping the long-term prize in mind was, for me, non zero!😹 And that was more intense with the larger deficit.

    Long term plans are good. The flexibility to enjoy good results that are heading in the right direction is even better! And what's best? Not getting to the end, 'cause that means I'm still above ground and kicking *kitten* ❣️😹

    Off to get rained on by the deluge, but the girl has to poo 💩!!!🤷🏻‍♂️

    Very reasonable, PAV.

    My "calories in" number has gone way up to match the time I'm "way up" into the week hours, working :(

    My "calories out" number is down to match the hours spent sitting when only my brain is active :(

    Work may pay the bills - but sometimes it really sucks.

    I hear that loud & clear, @lauriekallis - I'm trying to remember to be gentle with myself, since it looks like the combination of stress, insomnia, and "work sucks" may have derailed what I thought to be a ridiculously achievable goal for February.

    Taking my own advice has never been a strong suit, lol 😂
