That is not a good feeling. Hopefully it inspires you rather than disheartens.

No it’s not! But on the hopeful side I’m feeling better so will be more active.2 -
Ahhhhhh the numbers 😱. Not so hot. A month of feasting, no real exercise- all contributing to a gain. I’m feeling it in clothes.
The wrist brace is due to be retired on Thursday 🤞I hope. It’s still a bit sore but better. I’m going to try the gym on Tuesday with the brace. Obviously no arm, wrist, hand workout. But I think I can handle the treadmill and leg weights.
I fear it will be a long road back but it’s time to get started again.2 -
🤞🏻 for a healthy new year!3

Gym early - 6 am. Get it over with before the brain says “ I don’t think so”. Making very slight progress……2

How is the paw coping?1

Down 89lbs since August 29th, which was my most recent high weight of 364.4. I got down to 326.4 by Nov 11th, which was my lowest pre-surgery weight. 285.4 now, so 41 down since surgery, which was 8 weeks ago tomorrow.6

Wow wow wow! I hope you’re taking pictures along the way Nic. Sometimes it’s good to remind oneself of how far we’ve come. Especially on the days when othe going gets difficult.1

Congratulations, Nic!!!!!!!2

Awesome job before and after!!!2

My math was bad, lol. It was 79, not 89.2

Even with the math slip, it’s still an impressive achievement!2 -
Numbers were heading down. Then there were cookies 🍪 to bake today. Most will leave the house tomorrow. But some had to be sampled?
And then there’s the salty Chinese 🥠🍜🥢birthday lunch tomorrow too. I’m hoping Sundays weigh-in shows at least a small weekly loss.
Onward to getting it together by spring cause bikini season is coming. Not that ANYONE wants to see a wrinkled 76 year old in a bikini!!! You couldn’t UN-SEE that and it would scar the youngins for the rest of their lives. 😱😱😱2 -
Oh my bikini babushka!😎
Same thing here but without any hope for a weekly loss... even Steven would be good!!!
In the meanwhile, either I believe that breakfast + fish and chips + Costco was 5600 Cal above maintenance... or some of it will eventually go away.
Now all three are for sure adding up to 5600 or more.... but not quite the above maintenance part... so another lb still has to leave the building I think!🤷♂️
Sampling! Definitely temporary fun!2 -
Well I broke even. No loss after midweek progress! I’m hoping that the big bowl of salty hot n sour soup I had yesterday is at fault?1

Not that it should come as a terrible surprise to anyone who has run the experiment. But while Friday was still elevated (and you would have through that 72 hours would have been enough for things to settle down)... by Saturday things DID settle down. Damage was 0.5lbs... about double what logging implies should have happened. But then again... I wasn't exactly logging using a scale.
You know... it is funny. No matter what the near term stuff says... when you zoom out you can get a pretty clear picture.
Whether you use moving averages or exponentially smoothed moving averages. Or whether you do like a friend of mine does and just calculate a weekly average and then a monthly average and then list these weekly or monthly averages on a graph. That last one? The monthly averages over a year... that one is pretty telling!

Lost a pound overnight!
I’ve been following my trends last year. And it’s not been good. Slow up creep. So time to put the brakes on. I didn’t work on this for nearly five years to lose it all to snacks.2 -
I don't think this will help, Yooly, but it will probably make you smile.
These are screenshots from a short video on Instagram. Fellow embarking on the weight loss plan. I'm not sure he's using his scale appropriately, Pav, what do you think?
Does eating Cheetos one by one because they don't register on your scale count as 0 cal???1 -

Wow! This is total confirmation of all the 0 Cal 1g per portion packaging out there!!!1
-
But he looks so happy to discover these "free" snacks

First of all that skinny guy has no need to weigh his Cheetos! He could happily eat the whole bag! It did make me smile 😊. Love ❤️ Cheetos but haven’t had any in a long, long time. Addictive stuff.
I’m determined to conquer the snacks. They will not defeat me….
I’m doing well on doing a daily 12 hour fast. Much of the time is spent sleeping anyway. And I get breakfast soon after waking. The hard stretch is between supper and bed time. I eat around 6pm but usually don’t fall asleep until 11pm.2 -
Well... that magical time (5 to 7pm meal to time to go to bed) has always been MY issue time.2
-
Me too!
Maybe we should have a challenge? Hold each other accountable for how we behave in those danger hours????
I'm too horrified by my eating since returning from Newfoundland. Had a couple of decent days recently - which was amazing - but those evening hours were my undoing even on those days.2 -
After supper is definitely the danger zone. I can destroy a stellar controlled food day in a matter of a few hours.
Lately I’ve tried drinking water or no cal flavored water to stave off the munchies. But drinking fluids after supper ends up as lots of peeing during the night. And I always have a difficult time getting back to sleep.
So still working on a solution……1 -
Have not found one myself to date.
Larger meal as late as credible and shut down would come closest to working if shutdown happens.
Reality is that I end up structuring about half if not more of my calories at that time, usually spending relatively minimally before 5.
But big breakfast and nothing or minimal till 7+ also seems to work
Problem is shutdown and sufficient sleep in my case2 -
Progress! Lowest weight since before Christmas. But it’s been a struggle all the way. More to go….3

Congratulations, Yooly !!!2
