    Trend Weights from happy Scale app:
    Trend Actual
    3/19 159.0 159
    3/26 159.5 159.7
    4/2 160.5 161.4
    4/9. 159.3 159.5
    4/16 160.9. 161.2
    4/20 161. 160.4 I should be back under 160 in 1-3 days - more salt (still low) than usual predictably bumps up my weight.

    Food was super clean today.

    4/27. 161.7. 161.7 Not ideal but not unexpected - walked 1/2 my monthly avg steps & ate about 100-200 extra calories many days.

    5/7. 161.2. 161
    walked some & rested some days.
    Prepping veg in AM is really working.
    I ate without tracking until end of day & was under a lower calorie goal (!) by 7 calories

    I’m going to do the same tomorrow.. not log until bedtime. I’ve gotten to the point that I really do t want to log so if I can maintain/lose without logging, I will
    Do it. But baby steps.. first I’ll log end of day & see how calories go. The.maybe every other day etc.

    However, I will weigh myself and record every day.

    It’s worth a try!

    5/22 162.3. 162.2 I’m working on it.
    Very high UK index & heat waves is making walking less appealing. Only averaging 1/2 the time or the steps as I was. Food is cleaner, but the lack of exercise doesn’t help. Very poor sleeping hasn’t helped either.

    I’m taking it seriously. Food quality is excellent, working on sleep & exercise.

    6/19/22 trend 162.6. Actual: 161.9

    Well, it turned out my reduced sleep was negatively impacting my exercise, my food, my stress levels

    I’m working to gradually get (and stay) under 161 on the scale. Then I’ll aim for 159.9.

    Thanks to a MFP friend, I bought a sleep mask & my sleep is back to normal. I’m walking more/eating in a more managed way

    6/28/22 Decided my experiment did not work in 95-100 degree heat.

    Got back to daily logging- still resented the time. Scale went to the brink of “overweight BMI” and I finally got my act together after a long slow creep up.

    Realized I had let my volunteer jobs (mostly on-line) become stressors that I let crows out my recording my food & I let the heat knock out a lot of my walks.

    So, I now immediately go for at least a one hour walk when I wake up & I top up my steps to 10K+ when the UV Index drops again in the evening.

    I had been recording all I ate on paper in the kitchen, which worked great but I then hated having g to enter it all at night when tired so I went back to recording in app prior to eating.

    Predictably the scale dropped today after the salty overeating of the day before.

    6/28/12
    BMI is now 24.8
    Wt: 163.2
    3.3 lbs to go


    9/14/22
    BMI 25.8
    Wt: 169.7
    5.1 lbs to lose to normal bmi
    The gremlins got me but I’m fighting back.

    I plan to be 159.9 or lower on Aug 26, for my 4 year maintenance anniversary

    I hate - and suck - at dieting. I will NOT gain my weight back. I will not fail.

    Are you still around? I’ve been struggling the most since I began 1/1/2015. I *think* I’ve got it now -time will tell.

    How are things going for you?
