Day | Weight | Change | Comment
02/27 | 134.0kg | -0.9kg | Still getting fed up with the daily fluctuations so I decided to try using the Happy Scale app to smooth those fluctuations. My actual weight today was 133.7kg but Happy Scale tells me that my moving average weight is 134.0kg so that feels like a more correct amount to me. I'll be putting the Happy Scale moving average weight as my measurement each day and see how that goes. I drank a lot of water yesterday, starting to think that's a key for me. I did eat some unhealthy foods but surprisingly it fit within my calorie limit - probably due to the smaller dinner size I had! Did 15 mins of walking, wanted to get on the stationary bike but my sister called so I was on the phone to her for a while and then it was too late to get started. Will aim for more movement again today and definitely keep up the water!
02/28 | 133.6kg | -0.4kg | Actual scale read 132.9kg - haven’t seen that number in a long time so glad to see the moving average coming down. Did 10 mins of walking and 20 mins on the bike so feeling good about that. Today we have the memorial for a friend who passed away in a tragic farm accident so I don’t expect to do any exercise or control my calories today. I know I should, but I think there are more important things today.
02/29 | DNW | Early start for a day trip with over 7 hours of driving plus shopping etc. so I forgot to jump on the scale when I got up at 4:30am!
03/01 | 133.5kg | -0.1kg | Actual scale read 133.7kg. Long, long day in the car yesterday but I didn’t eat a lot. Drank a couple of sugary drinks (frozen coke was amazing!) but drank a LOT of water so hopefully not too much water retention. My feet/ankles were very puffy when we got home last night so I was expecting a much higher read today. Glad I drank so much water, will keep that up today.
03/02 | 133.6kg | +0.1kg | Actual scale read 133.9kg. Trending upward, which I'm not surprised about. Like fmfdfa2020 I will focus on hitting my goals for the next 5 days - thanks for the inspiration!
03/03 | 133.7kg | +0.1kg | Actual scale read 134.2kg. Hectic day at work so I didn't even get a chance to post, letalone read through all the posts I've missed! I'll try to catch up over the next few days.
Calories: Didn't finish tracking, but would have been over target around maintenance level | Exercise: 15/15mins | Water: 3/2.5L | Fruit & Veg: 6/5 serves
03/04 | 133.6kg | -0.1kg | Actual scale read 133.4kg. Another hectic day at work - barely left my desk all day and stayed back for an hour just to try to get on top of everything. Should be better after today, month-end should be completed (on time) and I should be back to normal! Getting some of these goals hit which is good, just need to find time to track everything!

02/29 - I've had the worse week I've had since beginning MFP 12/27. Everything has felt off and I feel like I'm starting to go down a slippery slope. I'm going to try what worked a couple of rounds ago and try to hit every goal for just 5 days - so here goes:

I took the rest of February off from logging and weighing in daily, but I was mindful of my eating, even with a few "cheat" foods. I didn't gain anything more than normal fluctuations, so I'm pretty proud of myself for that! I'm ready to get back to releasing more weight now. 😁

@deepwoodslady I feel for you with the cravings! This is the hardest part when you've had a lapse. I've been dealing with this for a week too when I decided to drink 1/2 gallon of chocolate milk and from there I went crazy. Getting 3 or 4 days in control of it is needed but getting those 3 or 4 days behind you is so hard. Everyone is different so not sure if what I'm doing would help you at all but I've been taking advantage of the mornings when I can control my cravings the most. I mainly eat in the afternoons when my cravings are the worse so I'm full even though as you said, hunger doesn't always have anything to do with it, but it does help me. I'm not sure if you have this luxury to try to lie down when they are really bad, but I find that when I just can't control them, I try to take a nap. If I'm able to fall asleep for 30 mins, I wake up feeling more in control which of course shows how much of this is sleep deprivation. Lastly, even though fruit can throw you off too, I've been eating frozen blue berries, cherries, raspberries and peaches either as a smoothly with milk or just plain. That seems to satisfy my cravings a little. I'm sure you've tried everything over time with results, so it's not about knowing what to do it's being able to get past the days after lapsing. Good luck - you'll get there! I'm on my 3rd day today without sugar/white flour and feeling stronger.
@fmfdfa2020 Thanks so much for the response. It is so informative to see what works for others. Unfortunately, I can't nap during the day as I work running a motel business by myself which keeps me on my toes. I, however, find that my cravings are strongest when I'm not as busy (late at night). I guess it would help to try and fall asleep earlier, but it's my only time for reading, tv, sewing etc. If I didn't have these couple of hours, I feel like I would not have any life at all. I have good snacks in place that fit into my plan: almonds, walnuts, sunflower seed kernels, Atkins bars etc. but I've been using them for so long they no longer feel like a "treat" and are no longer anything I crave. So I'll just have to plow through this until the cravings are no longer an issue. Relief does come. Tonight I am trying lightly stevia sweetened tea. It is not exactly a Hershey's chocolate bar, but it is tasty so we shall see. Congrats on 3 days now in the clear. I'm right behind you!1 -
@musicsax I know today has been a long, tiring and sad day for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.1

Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 – 169.2 – There’s the drop I was looking for yesterday. All goals met!
02/28 – 169.2 – Added two new strength exercises to my gym routine today. Went to the local sushi place for lunch. Their dumpling soup is delicious but seems to have a day’s worth of sodium in it. Still, it was the perfect thing for a cold, windy day.
02/29 – 169.8 – No surprise, given that I was over on sodium and calories yesterday. Today was much better – enjoyed time with my grandsons and met all my goals!
03/01 – 169.8 – All goals met.
03/02 – 169.0 – Great day to walk outdoors! All goals met Swamped with work, so my participation in this forum has been pretty erratic. I’ll catch up – soon, I hope
03/03 – 169.0 – Busy day, but I walked outdoors before the rain moved in and met my calorie and hydration goals.

Ready for round 106 {43rd for me}
OSW 88KG
RSW 60.7 kg (-27.3 kg) or {60.2lbs}
Maintenance wasn't a great success so back on it.
02/27 60.7kg. Back to the grind!
02/28 60.0kg and I'm planning a good weekend without temptation
02/29 59.3kg back below 60! Daughters birthday party today (birthday is in August!) but I'm not tempted to nibble.
03/01 59.55kg. I wasn't tempted by the party food but I did have wine later so this will probably bounce up tomorrow. Its a new month so I'm going to be back on the losing game and see where I can end up in 31 days.
03/02 60.15kg expected bounce. Now back to what I know works
03/03 60.0kg despite a heavy dinner. This looks promising. Public holiday here today so a nice lie in and gym later.
03/04 60.0kg...I'm getting there and gym was good

69 years old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion... ...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. A pinched nerve and back surgery side-lined me for about a year. Then I had back surgery. Now I'm waiting to get my hip fixed. Hip Doc said surgery in April. Ugh! I can't do any walking or biking...both kill me. I see my personal trainer three times a week. She is taking it very slow and easy with me.
I have March 10th as my hip surgery date...much better than April!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 133 – good start to the round, 13.2 miles walked yesterday, 640 calories in credit, all other macros well in green.
02/28 133.6 – child minding DGS yesterday, 2 hour journey each way so no structured walking, but chasing him around soft play for 2 hours is a work out !!!
02/29 133.6 – 8.75 miles walked (last 3.5 danced!) yesterday, all macros well in green.
03/01 133.6 – 7.88 miles walked yesterday, 182 calories in credit, 29 carbs over.
03/02 133 – 10 miles walked yesterday, delicious Sunday lunch out with DH & 4 of my siblings, meant that I was not hungry at tea time so just had a juicy pear. Calories 373 in credit & all macros well in credit.
03/03 133.4 – 10.64 miles walked yesterday, 476 calories in credit, all other macros in green. Not much chance of a walk today; Dad's funeral & it's raining .
03/04 134.4 – Dad had a good send off yesterday & it stopped raining before we left for church and stayed dry whilst we were at the cemetery and then all afternoon. Thank you all so much for your good wishes and kind comments, it means so much. I didn't log or count yesterday and barely did 5K steps, but felt I kept in control and didn't feel bloated or stuffed. Just couldn't sleep last night; only got 3 hours and of course I'm tired now !! Today is a new day and I'm back on the straight and narrow.

Goals
My Goal is to stay under 1200 call for the 10 days seeing that I'm exercising less for the moment.
02/26 - 150.6 round start weight
02/27 - 149.6 (-1.0) yeyyy back down, I think yesterday's gain was really a glitch to keep me on my toes for the end of the round lol Thank goodness we weight daily ! Today is a normal day, I've got my breakfast and lunch with me at the office and tonight I'm going over to friends which is good as it's board games night and these friends have a no snacking policy at their house, they're very careful of their games :-)
02/28 149.6 (-0.0) good yesterday, which was hard! Yesterday evening, my friend broke his no "snacking rule" during games night by giving all the players individual servings of a selection of cookies!! I resisted all evening with the plate next to me, I think that alone should deserve some weight loss Today will not be so good, I've got lunch planned with a friend and an evening out with friends combined with a late dinner. I'll go for the healthier options but I know there will be a gain somewhere over the next couple of days. However I do plan on enjoying it, you do get to appreciate the special dinner occasions even more when you've been dieting a long time!
02/29 149.6 (0.0) weekend
03/01 150.6 (+1.0) weekend
03/02 151.6 (+1.0) well all in all I enjoyed a good weekend but too many late dinners and didn't drink hardly enough water. I think it'll drop quite quickly (cross fingers). I've also started beta blockers as a migraine treatment since Friday and I've read one side effect is weight gain, something to keep a close eye on. On another note, the days are getting longer and I cycled to work (I don't like cycling in the city in the dark, too dangerous). Brussels being quite hilly, it's quite a workout even if the office isn't far. Also it's a folding bike (the joys of apartment living) which means it's more effort on little wheels !
03/03 150.4 (-1.2) 1099 cal, 6753 steps, All in all a good day yesterday, under calorie but not enough steps however as I cycled to and from work I'm not really bothered. I got caught in a downpour cycling home last night, I was happy I had invested in good waterproof gear but I still had to get undressed in the bath as I was dripping wet Things are quiet in the office today, I'm having lunch with a friend so I think I'll cycle over there (or walk to get my steps in). Meetings have started being cancelled due to the coronavirus. I work bang center in the European quarter of Brussels and there's definitely less people around. The next weeks are going to be interesting...
03/04 150.4 (0.0) 1299, 9582 steps, Good day yesterday, I cycled again to work and back, 3rd day in a row. I can really feel it in my legs! Tonight I've got a little more time to make myself a nice dinner. I'm definitely more hungry since starting the beta blockers so I'll have to fill up on veggies.

Previous Rounds:
Round 105: No change
Day/Weight/Comment
02/27 - 73.9 - Finally some movement. Period started yesterday which might explain why I have been ravenously hungry the last week! Calories were a little over yesterday but generally okay.
02/28 - 73.6 - Was exhausted yesterday, but eating was okay.
02/29 - 74.1 - Was expecting that, monthly lunch at work (aka the company buys us all lunch) and there was so much pizza. And then pizza left over. So because I wogged myself at lunch I ended up not being in the slightest bit hungry for dinner and didn't eat anything, so swings and roundabouts.
03/01 - 74.9 - Very hard judo session + salty Chinese for dinner = retaining oh so much water. I even feel puffy today. Drinking loads of water to make up for it and hopefully tomorrow will level me out.
03/02 - Was late this morning and forgot to weigh. Previous day was okay. Eating was a little all over the place as the day was very stressful, but overall was fine.
03/03 - 73.7 - Another solid day. Eating was a little over what I'd like, but then I went and did a very intense judo session, so I'm not feeling guilty about the situation as a whole. I still worked out below calories.
03/04 - 73.2 - Was not expecting a drop like that this morning. Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with it. Yesterday was good eating and came in under calories. Even actually practiced only serving out half of my dinner and then eating the 2nd half when I was hungry. Stopping when I'm full is something that I struggle with (especially if I've already logged it), so serving out less to begin with is something I'm trialing to calibrate my hunger cues.

Age 53
SW Montana
Starting Weight: 152.0 lbs
Round Goal Weight: 150.0 lbs
02/27 - 151.4 Good start, stayed within limits.
02/28 - 151.6 Ate a little over my calorie allotment yesterday. A little sore from weight lifting.
02/29 - 151.8 Wrong way scale! Not too worried, I tend to bounce around a little. Stayed within calories, but probably need more water.
03/01 - 151.6 Wish it would drop a little faster, but at least it's moving in the right direction again.
03/02: - 151.6 Hope to see a drop soon. Sticking to calories, but just looked over my food diary for the past few days and I noticed I've been eating more carbs than usual. I'm going to cut back on the carbs and see if that helps.
03/03: - 150.6 There's the drop I've been waiting for.
03/04: - 150.0 Been watching those carbs.
