Back sliding the last week.

Gained back a pound. Picking myself up and dusting myself off. This isn’t a sprint but a lifestyle and marathon.

No one loses weight in a straight downward trajectory. Sometimes we backslide. But, keep on keeping on. New week and time to double down. No condemning or discouragement.

It’s just part of the game. We all can do this. Move forward and take care of business 👍

Goodness, I am amazed you can say that you regained one pound! My weight often goes up or down down by over 1kg (2.2lbs) from one day to the next. Because of that, I am learning to look at trends.

@charmmeth I really try and lose about a 1 lbs a week.

You nailed it to look at trends. Try an identify what is working and stick to it. It really is a marathon and lifestyle.

Agreed! I have my spreadsheet draw me a graph which really helps. I am approaching goal so aiming for 0.25 kg / 0.5lbs per week at present, but my average this month is currently 1.4 kg down from my average last month so I can see I am still losing a bit faster. If I had just looked at my weighing-in weight in the first week of October, I would have said my weight was up, but looking at my monthly average told me it was actually still down. (If you see what I mean.)

The closer you get to goal the less often you should scale measure. I would switch to a less data noisy tracking method. Maybe tape or calipers.

@KHMcG I’m about 30 lbs away from my goal so not even close to considering that yet 👍

That's true, we've all been through it.

What a great attitude. It's hard to remember this is a lifestyle thing and results aren't instant
