    Week 2
    Pw 139
    Cw 139

    No change. I was getting frustrated there for a minute and definitely haven't been quiet about it. I changed my diet, my routine, upped my activity and still nothing has been happening.... Until last night. I am a macro/micro watcher and I realized the one thing I haven't been watching latley is my salt content. I am not a salty person and don't really eat salty foods but because of my hectic work schedule I failed to realize my salt has sky rocketed since I started my job (the quick make meals and ordering out, regardless of the healthier options, has done this) So maybe that is it...I have been feeling more bloated than usual. So this week I am watching my salt..drinking more water and seeing what comes out of it. I also stopped eating out this past week and started inventing a new schedule to get back to the old me....with the new me intact (hectic work)

    I have really been AWOL from this group the last 2 weeks and I apologize for that. My vacation mode brain is slowly dying off and I am working my way back to reality.

    Friday weigh in

    Weigh-In day Tuesday

    Previous: 206.3
    This week 206.4

    I gained 0.1lb, but I'm totally ok with it. Things have been stressful lately and it's expected. It could have been much worse.

    8/15/19
    Tracked: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercise: yes

    @cmhubbard92, point one or two, up or down, is a maintain in my books. Your life is currently being turned upside down, (in a good way!) and you have continued your good habits and maintained your weight. When things get settled into their new places, you will have more time and energy to work on losing again. It sounds like a perfect outcome in this situation, don't you think?

    I definitely agree, good things are happening. I know that the scale will start moving again soon, once the stressed levels off. Thank you for your support @HASWLRS I hope you enjoyed your vacation!

    You have been rocking it as long as I can remember you in this group. That is a break even week in my eyes. I think we would all take break even through stressful times. Total win

    @abowersgirl, I am glad that you are working things out, Stephanie. Everything you are saying sounds reasonable. In the meantime, you are maintaining, so it's not all bad. Hoping the scales move soon for you!!

    @Bradleys8299, quietly going about your business, and losing a pound and a half this week!! Slow and steady wins the race, and you have been both!!

    @swauters, vacation brain is a real thing!! Glad you are slowly getting over your infliction. I have you at 199.6 starting with the first weigh-in for August and holding there ever since. Not bad for a vacation month. Now there's still two weeks left in August to do some positive damage to that number!!

    Friday weigh in:
    Last week - 214.8
    This week - 214

    Almost a lab and in the right direction! Well done to all the losers this week 🎊
    I’m back to work after summer break on Monday and looking forward to having a clear run at weight loss from now until Christmas. I always lose much more during this portion of the year as there are generally less eating engagements 🙈
