    I actually managed to go to bed last night without any late night snacking. I thought I was going to cave but I somehow kept my mind occupied and passed on the sweet treats.

    07/07 : 130.8lbs
    08/07: 129.8lbs
    09/07: 129.0lbs
    10/07: 129.8lbs
    11/07: 131.8lbs
    12/07: 132.2lbs
    13/07: 131.2lbs

    Great job!
    Water loss (and fat) soon to follow.

    I had a miserable day, stomach pains all day and night, but stuck to diet. Trying not to look at scale just in case. I have few things pre occupying my mind all day so snacking hasn't been tempting.

    Hello, I’m on the same boat. I’ve struggled with these 20 pounds. It’s frustrating at times with the fluctuations. Feel free to add me!

    @toxicdoll I really hope you feel better soon. It's really hard to remember that snacking doesn't help to solve your problem when you're in the midst of it. Keep up the great work!

    Another 1lb of water loss down.

    Thanks. I feel better but not 100% yet. I'm retaining water now too 😔 I'm getting closer to the beginning of a new cycle as well. 😢
    But I'm sticking to tracking and getting some exercise in. Lifting is lacking and I need to curb chocolate again. I start to crave it cause i run on 4 hours of sleep a night. *sigh*
    Maybe I'll do a week without chocolate again.

    Those last lbs are hardest. Good luck! You can do this.

    @toxicdoll Water retention is the worst, it makes you feel so bloated and bad about yourself even though it isn't true weight gain.

    Finally lost all my water weight I think. Time for the fat loss.

    You're out if the woods for now!!

    It really does. I think that's why i quit tracking few months back, cause until you see big fat loss, it's always fluctuating same 5lbs up and down.

    I haven’t been weighing myself these past days. Period hasn’t come yet, looks like it’ll be a couple days/week late. Last weekend was not so good, had my cousin come over and I got us some snacks.. that we binged on.

    But I did something I wouldn’t usually do, I gave her all the leftover snacks to take home, otherwise I would’ve binged even more.

    This week I’m focusing on nutrition and intermittent fasting (18-20hrs).

    Hope you’re all doing well. I’ll be updating my weight once AF arrives.

    I did pretty bad last night. I start work 7am now, and didn't get home, hungry and tired, until 8:45pm. Running errands too.
    So I snacked to calm down and try to sleep to tune of 2200 calories. Obviously skipped all exercise. Which according to MFP would put me at current weight.

    Ugh. If I get a constant supply of caffeine at work again, I'll be able to curb some of the snacking mid day. Also why i can't do IF.

    I feel like I put on so much pressure on myself (vacay goals + daily stressors not diet goals) that I can't even lift anymore 😔. Cardio is still ok. Weight is still down, though I had a mini stress and sleep deprived binge last night. But no desire to repeat. I need a breather today.

    I've logged and conqured my emo stage 😂😂😂 (my monthly is right around the corner) Normally I would give up and take a break, but I'm not giving up. It's a new for me. Done my weights today, and on the bike now. Planning on actually getting out of the house for rest of day = less stress snacking.

    Kinda know that stage too. I had to gain 10lbs to find the motivation to keep going down. I was also using cardio (running close to an hour 5-6/week) as a means to bring calories down, which wasn't very sustainable for long term upkeep.

    Finding the lifestyle/eating habits at goal weight been proving an interesting journey.

    Haven’t logged my weight for a bit because of the crazy fluctuations due to PMS & period. I really don’t want to be making excuses, so from today I’ll be posting my
    weight even through pms and period days.

    I always fall off track during those times.

    AF finally arrived yesterday, it was 3 days late.
