Thanks @quiltingjaine
5/10: 183.1 - 2 pounds off my heaviest weight ever - (stopped posting on this challenge July 2020 - very glad to be back!)
Round 152
Goals: 80oz water; row 30 mins most days; dance to a different song each day to burn calories and also because music makes me so happy 🎵 🎵 🎵; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories; IF most days; no sugar
SW: 179.0
Whatever your goals, I wish everyone a successful round!
Previous days' posts6/1 - 178.7 - Good way to start! Going to row. Soon I'll be on the water in my kayak but today it's in my basement on my waterrower - if I close my eyes, it sounds like you're on the water.
6/2 - 178.0 - Down 5 pounds! I need to learn from my past where I slowly slide back into old habits and gain that 5 pounds back again:
No sugar - my cravings have subsided so much. I'm better able to control myself when those moments happen that make me want to binge. Also, I won't fool myself as I've done in the past that I have more "willpower" now and can handle it. I have more willpower because it's a physical thing with not eating sugar. I've fallen for that too many times and after one day, I'm off on a month-long binge.
Water - drinking water really does help you to stay full or maybe it's also that I'm not really hungry but thirsty. I was going around so dehydrated.
And lastly, Milk - I was drinking my calories. I love milk but also think it was my way of making up for not having sugar. I've stopped it for now too because I have really bad eczema and hoping it may be part of the cause.
Second lastly celebrate all the small changes instead of focusing on my long-term goal, whatever that really ends up being. Oh man, I could keep going but I'll stop! 
6/3 - 178.0
6/4 - 177.5 Great to see but I weighed a little later this morning than normal so may be off. We'll see over the next few days.
6/5 - 6/4 - 177.7
Don't mind a small jump up at all - so glad to stay at 177.X. I noticed a NSV over the past few days. My ankles are no longer swollen. I contribute this to all the water I'm drinking, and maybe not having wheat while I try to determine why my eczema has gone whacky. Love it when you start seeing results on the scale and other ways - there is no better motivator!!
6/6 - 177.2 Surprised to see a drop this morning. I expected it to go up a little after eating popcorn last night. It was air popped and fit into my calorie limit for the day, but with the salt, I thought I would have a little water weight this morning. I always think of popcorn as unhealthy but was reminded when I looked it up in my Healing Foods book that it's actually healthy, if not loaded up with butter and salt. A really good way to get your fiber, too.
6/7 - 177.1 - I am about to hit my goal weight for this round. Very happy about that, but really happy because all the positive changes I'm seeing along with my weight going down!
6/8 - 177.0 - I hit my goal - yay! I'm still feeling mentally and physically strong 29 days in. What's happening to me? Who is this person? LOL I normally would have sabotaged this thing weeks ago. I know some of the differences this time but won't over analyze it this morning and just be thankful I'm NOT struggling with cravings.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

Today after donating blood my plan is to pick up a new battery for my scale. Crossing my fingers that is the issue otherwise I'll be out shopping for a new scale.8 -
Main goal(s) - 1. Count calories even when with partner/at social events, even if it’s not perfect an estimate is better than nothing! 2. Don’t allow a little slip up or not being able to track properly to derail me 3. Anything can be worked into your daily calorie goal 4. Use this challenge to identify problem habits/patterns and change them 5. Sacrifices now equal results later

6/1 - 162.2 - happy
6/2 - 161.0 - determined to keep this progress this time! Each round I seem to make good progress and then go right back to where I started, only to spend the next round getting back to where I was. This challenge has made that abundantly clear. Need to put more effort into making better choices, especially when eating out.
6/3 - 160.0 - great first day off but still woke up quite early, but also slept a lot during the day, I’ve been tired!
6/4 - 160.8 - little bit up but that’s okay, went a little over my calories yesterday
6/5 - 160.2 - pleased with this, today’s the day I go for lunch with my partners family but I feel much more prepared than on other occasions. I’ve pre-picked what I’m going to order and I’m confident about the calories. I won’t be able to weigh tomorrow but watch this space!
6/6 - away
6/7 - away
6/8 - 161.4 - ended up staying with my partner for an extra day than planned and a little jump up but not too bad! Let’s see what I can end this round on
6/9 - 162.2 - genuinely about ready to give up now 😭 just starving yesterday and the same again today too! Ugh!

6/1 213.2 post minor concussion. Weird-I weighed 216.2 in the morning, then after going back to bed and slept 'til afternoon, I weighed 213.2. Go figure!

6/4 213.6
6/5 212 I'm learning that weight fluctuates! And differs scale to scale to scale. We too our doggie in to the vet's and had to weigh him on a walk on scale. Then I tried it as Friday. I weighed 4 pounds lighter on that scale! So really I'm 208 or less.

6/9 210.6 I almost drowned in the Yampa River yesterday and had to be rescued. My brother, on a whim, asked if I wanted to go tubing down the river with him. Never again will I enter a rushing river without a life jacket! I'd normally be ecstatic about losing this weight, being down nearly 20 pounds this summer, but I'm just glad to be alive and thankful to the two guys who rescued me!

Oh my God, how horrible. I looked up the Yampa River - such a beautiful place for such a harrowing experience. Thank goodness those two guys were there!7 -

I got all my plants in the ground before the significant rain, and this morning I’m sitting on the patio enjoying the view, the birds, the bunnies & chipmunks. I thought I’d share a couple of pics of the backyard. Two years ago, this was nothing but grass, a perimeter of river rock, and a sickly maple tree.
@SheilaBoneham Wow, how beautiful, and to create such a beautiful space in just 2 years. That is a lot of work, but you can tell from your posts, that you love doing it. What a wonderful place to sit in the mornings having your coffee. Thanks for sharing these!

round 150: 3
round 151: 3
goal for round 152: 2.5 pounds (looking for 187 pounds)
6/6 187.5 (well, that little black chiweenie dried off in no time out there, and we barely went for half an hour before wandering slowly home, stopping often in the shade. Time to move the walk to the mornings right after chores I guess, and hope all the bears are tucked up somewhere. I found a small elm tree in the woods. They're so rare and so beautiful. And I have found an ash tree as well, but the leaves are just coming out and I can't tell what kind of ash it is until it leafs out (probably a white ash).
6/7 187.0 (heat warning out there today so of course I have to go fetch 50 bales of hay and stack it in the barn (by myself). It's excellent exercise though and the mares will be "helping" make the work lighter by sampling each bale. And I can take rests. There's no rain in the forecast and I can get fairly close to the barn with the truck. But best news at my place is that 2 days ago a pair of barn swallows suddenly showed up and they are working on making a nest under the eaves in the mares' run-in shelter. This is late for them and I can only suppose that their first nest was destroyed, poor things. Barn swallows are having a tough time of it in Nova Scotia, where I live, so I am delighted to have a pair show up and I sure hope that they stay. At least I know that there are lots of bugs around for them. They are not happy about me having to pass under their nest twice a day, but they're still building, so I'm pretending not to notice them. )
6/8 186.5 (hay stacking went very well, and I did it in 2 bouts and drank lots of water; started my repeat of c25k week 2 just before the sun disappeared behind the trees for the day; barn swallows still busily building away at their nest, and it's coming along very quickly - these guys are experts. I have to see the exhusband today, to do him a favour. I'm sure he always sneers at how fat I am and feels very superior, and it's not my imagination. I didn't just leave him on a whim! Take care everybody, and if it's as hot where you are as it is going to be here again today, stay safe, and keep your critters cool and comfortable!)
6/9 186.5 (Awe, I knew that 3-day streak of losing half a pound per day couldn't last forever; big thunderstorm in the afternoon and my (rural) internet kicked me out of a meeting. No loss; it really didn't have anything to do with me and was exceedingly dull and besides 3 of my dogs are frightened of thunderstorms and 2 of them had landed on my lap. Cloudy and much cooler today, and might rain this morning. There's a woods walk in my schedule for the afternoon!)

Sun 6 169.5 what a rollacoaster week
Mon 7 169 absolutely delighted - hit my goal early - just hope I stay there. Have been working with calorie deficit for nearly 2 weeks and it's really working for me. Up and down but definitely trend is down.
Tue 8 169.5 my family do actually call me "Mrs. Speak too soon." I am still being thoughtful and making good choices though so, come on body , why not play along
Wed 9 170 don’t know what’s going on but still holding on

6/8 158.6 at this point, doesn’t look like I’ll meet my goal this round. Didn’t do well, today. The stress is almost unbearable. I’ll be happy if I’m under 160 at end of this round. So much for the determination that I had on the 6th. Feeling down.

I think I escaped the long weekend with minimal damage. But, let’s just say it is a good thing it was not any longer.

Busy week at work. I need to avoid the pantry because I just start munching under pressure.

Sorry I have been out of touch. My weekend was full of morning activities, which is when I usually post here. I haven’t had a lot of screen time with the PC (which is where I write these posts.) As you can see I am hovering.
6/8: 212.8
This increase is nothing more than the actual weight of what I put in my mouth and sent down the hatch yesterday. That, plus the weight of the water retained due to saltiness of what I put in my mouth. Biophysics. It is what it is, so I wrote it down.
Imagine if I only weighed once a week, and today is the day. That would be disheartening.
6/9: 211.0
I will have to lose over three pounds in the next 24 hours to meet my goal. Not impossible with me, but not likely.
Yesterday was a good food and exercise day. But, the best thing about yesterday was that I glued (repaired) a toy for my 4 year old DGS. When I gave it back to him he said “I knew you could do it!” That was the best payment he could have offered.

Round 152 Day/Weight/Comment
6/1 236.8; morning blood sugar 134. not terrible after the holiday cookout. Indulging in my wife's strawberry cheesecake was not a great diet choice but a politically astute one.
6/2 236.0; morning blood sugar 130. I need to get out and walk before the weather turns this afternoon.
6/3 232.8; NOPE. Not believing it, do not get excited. I did nothing that would produce a "woosh" so I am calling this a random scale error until I see it for a few days. morning blood sugar 137.
6/4 235.2; as I suspected, the scale pixies were messing with me yesterday.... still I like the trend. MBS 134

06/09 - 148.5 - I behaved the day before and got a high number on the scale. I didn't behave yesterday and I got the same exact scale reading. Hmm...Did fast 16 hours, drank 90 oz water. Everything else wasn't ideal. I did measurements this morning. Waist is 1/2 inch bigger, thighs are 1/2 inch bigger, booty/hips are 1/2 inch bigger, but my belly pooch (biggest part of belly right below belly button) is the exact same. I'm alright with the inches gained where they are and it DOES make my belly pooch look smaller in the mirror. Bonus? I'm hoping this is a small indication that my hopes aren't false and I am going through a bit of body recomposition. I can't imagine how the gains in inches are fat unless my metabolism is really THAT slow. If it is, I'm in trouble because I'm doing way too much activity lately and I'm afraid to drop calories any lower for fear of losing the muscle I have. And I am noticing I'm feeling stronger and can push harder in my workouts. Makes me happy and feel much better about all of this, despite the scale. Doing some reading yesterday. Body recomp (losing fat and gaining muscle simultaneously) can be done but takes longer than focusing on maintaining muscle only while losing fat before switching to gaining muscle once fat loss goal reached. I'm okay with the long game since this is a lifestyle change. I'd rather be strong and pudgy for a bit than weak and skinny (I lost a LOT of muscle mass after surgery) I'm going to call this a total MINDSET VICTORY! Before I'd be so worried about losing fat as quickly as I could but now I want to be healthy and the fat loss will come in time with healthy changes.

Previous Day's Comments06/01 - Definitely expected a jump up on the scale. Quite happy it didn't! Linner ended up being a later dinner (6:30-7) instead and I broke my fast at 17 hours with a small bit of meat and cheese since I started feeling a little iffy. Ended up losing my water cup (Fam found it after we left) and didn't get my water in. I don't even know how much I drank other than not enough. Tonight we are back at Fam's for my GodDaughter's 5th birthday! She wanted steak, shrimp, and boudain! Need to figure out what's on hand for a light lunch to balance out a heavy dinner. I have another water bottle right now that I know measurements and will be focusing on that for sure today, especially since work will be busy
06/02 - Birthday was a success. BF and I split a piece of cake and stayed within calories including exercise. Drank 90 oz water, fasted 16.5 hours. Kiddos coming today, BF is up getting ready to head out to get them. I'm up early because I'm a light sleeper and have to be up in 45 minutes anyway for work. Will be grocery shopping tomorrow or Friday with kiddos to get them cereal, milk, and to pick out lunch stuff so I'll be able to grab a couple healthier lunch things for me as well. I think I have some frozen veg I can whip up for lunch today. Think dinner will be with Fam again so their kids can see ours (they LOVE each other). Plus, our kids haven't met my Godson since he had his transplant. A whole different kid since then and they're in for a treat! Hopefully I'll be more awake after my morning meeting to sneak in a workout since I'll be in the house alone.
06/03 - Definitely expected to be up. Kids got home late and wanted food. BF wasn't hungry. We all walked to Sonic to get dinner at 830pm (eek! I hadn't eaten, either so I was ravenous). Only fasted 14.5 hours yesterday and then that super late dinner will cause another short fast today. I'll be back on track for fasting tomorrow and hopefully being over calories yesterday won't rear its ugly head at me then.
06/04 - Not sure if this was Asian food (homemade, but still has plenty of sodium), two days ago finally catching up, or both. Also, I've noticed a firmness in my legs and glutes I hadn't noticed before. I look hourglass, but my hips, glutes, and upper legs carry most of my weight. I noticed my hips and booty looked way small once I started losing some weight and decided I don't like that! My lower body is my powerhouse!!! My kickboxing workout is a full body, but still quite leg/glute/hip heavy and I love it. Plus, my surgeon said to keep my glutes and hips strong to help keep my spine stable in hopes of pushing off another fusion as long as possible. I think I assumed I had decent muscle because I have a bit of a booty but now I'm starting to see it may just be genetics depositing a lot of fat there. It's nice to have muscle instead, I feel so much stronger (: With that, this little plateau may be me not being 100% perfect in diet along with gaining some muscle faster than losing fat. But the muscle will help burn that fat so I'm alright with it. I know what dinner is tonight, thankfully, so I can plan head for today. If the rain holds off, I'll try for a walk with the pup
06/05 - Homemade enchiladas last night and pizza for lunch. Dairy overload. Didn't work out, but lots and lots of walking and playing (17,590 steps. My normal is 5,000-7,000 on non workout days). Fasted for 17.75 hours. Drank about 100 oz water. Finally got some decent sleep in!
06/06 - I know I couldn't have out-eaten my exercise calories.... But I definitely did not get enough water in. At a car show and couldn't bring my water bottle in. To buy was EXPENSIVE and it was HOT out. Today we are going to the land so I'm hoping that we are able to stop at the store to grab more waters (especially for kids). I don't have much of a job or anything to do, so hopefully I won't get distracted enough to forget to drink. Must try to drink extra since it's another hot hot hot day. Finally starting to feel like summer
06/07 - I'll take that! I managed to drink about 107 oz. Maybe not quiiiiite enough, but better and the weight shows the improvement. Didn't exercise normal, but kiddos wanted to play baseball (4 person) so I ended up running after balls that were hit. Did get a bit of a sunburn from being in the sun literally all day so recovering from that. I have some cream, but now looking into making more. Haven't been good with fasting, but given the circumstances, it was by choice to ensure I'd be alright. Today should be easy to hit 16 hours, hoping for longer. Woke up from middle of a dream so have a headache now, hoping it'll pass soon so I can knock out a workout.
06/08 - I have no idea what this is about. Drank 90 oz water, fasted for 18.5 hours, under calorie budget, did my workout and took the pup on two walks (one morning, one after dinner). I don't look or feel bloated. The scale is a funny thing... Not terribly worried about it, although it is frustrating.

There’s the bump from Sunday’s binge. That’s fine. I spent another 4 hours on “heavy gardening” yesterday, digging things up and replacing, schlepping bags of dirt around, planting new plants. Off in a few for a walk by the river and then a stop for — surprise — more plants. I’m an addict. 🌸🌿🌼🌱🌻 Happy June, everyone!
6/2 - 188.4 - 1951
It’s cool and overcast this morning but heating up later, so I’m off to plant my new hydrangea and yellow Baptisia and then go for a walk. Feeling activated!

It rained all day yesterday and we ordered from Fazoli, so not much activity and heavy food. I still feel weighted down. Ugh. Going to try to eat light and burn some calories today.

More calories but more activity. All good. Moving more plants around my garden this morning, then off for a walk on the greenway.

My creative support group is coming for a dinner pitch-in meeting this evening. I think it will be healthy food all the way, except for dessert. 🎂 I’ll try to behave.
6/8 - 188.6 - 1597ish
We had a great time last night with a remarkably healthy pitch-in dinner — I made salmon burgers (just salmon &egg with fresh-from-the-garden herbs and yogurt-dill sauce), a beautiful salad, delish roasted veggies, and strawberries & ice cream for dessert. Yum! I got all my plants in the ground before the significant rain, and this morning I’m sitting on the patio enjoying the view, the birds, the bunnies & chipmunks. I thought I’d share a couple of pics of the backyard. Two years ago, this was nothing but grass, a perimeter of river rock, and a sickly maple tree.

I had a nice, lazy rainy day yesterday. Have to catch up today! Off to the greenway, then various errands. Have a good one!

@xamos7257 Drink water. Most people think they are hungry but what they need is a drink. Try drinking a 16 oz glass. Drink 2. I never used to drink water - I would find something to munch on. This switch has created a water-holic!6

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

SW Rnd 152 116.0
6/1 117.5 All company is leaving before noon. Ate chips and 2 cookies at Memorial Day picnic yesterday. It’s all good!
6/2 116.5 Woke up with headache and a touch of vertigo. It’s that time of year!
6/3 115.5
6/4 114.5 Fasted 19 hours, OMAD steak, broccoli and cauliflower with butter. Vertigo this morning is bad, I hope to make it to water fitness
6/5 115.0 Didn’t go to WF yesterday. Meeting one of my WW friends, who was told by her doctor to stop doing WW, and is using Noom, to catch up.
6/6 115.5 Going to take my new neighbor to WW this morning. She is desperate to find a plan that works for her. She has retired and moved from Anchorage to live with her mom and become her caregiver.
6/7 115.5 vertigo seems to have been fixed. Thank you, DizzyFix!
6/8 114.0 That’s the second time I’ve had 114.x since about 60 years ago. My only explanation is a longer period of IF yesterday. We were going to go to Golden Corral but DH played Tripoley for the first time in over a year and had forgotten when it ended and we missed “early diners” discount. We’re going there today. I know the weight is likely to go up tomorrow. That’s fine.
6/9 114.5 Went to Golden Corral so I expected this to be higher. Fasting since then, about 3:15-3:30.
Here’s the link to Round 153 which starts Friday, in case you missed it!

Day/Weight/Comment
05/31 …..206.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/01 …..205.6 ….. Light meals yesterday. Low snacks. A day of success. A nice start for me and so many others!
06/02 …..203.0 ….. Woo Hoo! Lowest weight in a very long time. Good meal planning yesterday and no night time snack. Today my daughter is bring a Thai dinner home for me. Dinner will be late (about 9:00 pm). I will split it in half and have the other half tomorrow. I will eat a very light (late) lunch today, continue a morning fast and push water in anticipation of the sodium. I don’t want to undo what showed up on the scale this morning!
06/03 …..203.2 ….. No Thai food afterall because out-of-town restaurant was temporarily closed. Daughter ended up bringing home Taco Bell and dinner was late at 10:00 pm. No TMI today so I call the small uptick a gut issue. I am thrilled to still be around 203. I’m calling it a whoosh since it does seem to be sticking around.
06/04 …..203.0 ….. I was hoping to dip my toes into the 202’s but I’ll gladly take the TMI that led to a dip back down from yesterday. A perfect eating day yesterday with carefully planned meals and no snacks. I went to bed a bit hungry (was that in my actual tummy or just in my head???). Salmon tonight with a horseradish sauce concoction is in the plan accompanied by some sweet potato (watch the toppings Donna!) . Come on 202’s…….
06/05 …..203.4 ….. I’m not sure why it went up. Omad yesterday with a small healthy snack last night. Bathroom duty good. Extra water yesterday too. My body is just trying to get me back to its comfortable zone, I guess. I won’t allow that! 202’s here I come soon! On my edit....I wonder if it's the taco bell finally showing up? Yikes.....
06/06 …..204.4 ….. Up 1 lb as a result of my diet rest day. Today I will stay on target and drink plenty of water. It is expected to be 93 today which is unusual for northern Michigan USA. No air conditioning so fans will have to do. We’ll see how that fares in this new house I am in. This year will be the test.
06/07 …..204.2 ….. Well, I’ve realized in this new house that the box fans do not fit in the window so I’ve been blowing around hot air and hoping I don’t die. Also, the electric company in Michigan has decided (since June 1st) to raise the rates of electricity between the hours of 2pm and 7pm so it will cost all the disabled and the seniors that are home all day a tremendous amount more (to be paid out of our fixed incomes) while the folks at work sit in air conditioning paid for by their companies (who did not get a rate increase). Thank you Consumers Energy for taking care of the old and the sick!
06/08 …..204.8 ….. Very hungry last night. A small binge later I felt disgusted. There are good choices and bad choices for every situation. Even during extreme hunger or cravings. I made the bad ones. However, I am still down from my starting weight which is my goal so today I must stay on target.
06/09 …..204.2 ….. I stopped myself in my tracks last night before another mini-binge. I was hungry so I committed to a better choice. Cottage cheese and tomato juice to drink. It was cold, satisfying and stopped madness before it could even start. Pat on the back to me!
06/10 …..xxxxx …..

Anyone else having major issues with MFP recently? Yesterday and the day before the community page wouldn't load at all. Then the home page wouldn't but I could squeeze in my post before it dropped off again. Food and exercise was alright.
Today, my home page, food, and exercise pages won't load but community will just fine. It's the app and the website on the computer. Everything is all updated (app wise at least) but just won't load. Keep getting error. Uggggh I want to track my food and water before I forget!5 -

I will have to lose over three pounds in the next 24 hours to meet my goal. Not impossible with me, but not likely.
Yesterday was a good food and exercise day. But, the best thing about yesterday was that I glued (repaired) a toy for my 4 year old DGS. When I gave it back to him he said “I knew you could do it!” That was the best payment he could have offered.
6/10
Sounds like my 2 year old DGD when she broke her magic wand & DS put it in the bin, she said "NO ! Granny can mend it!!" Needless to say I turned up with a replacement one the following week and she truely believed I had done a repair job!! Children are priceless!!!

The only thing I ate that was some baked donut holes. I had a few on Saturday. I know those things can stay with you so maybe I am carrying them around still. I keep waiting for a whoosh because I have been really good (otherwise). I went to 2 cookouts last weekend but I didn’t go overboard.

Round 152
June 1 - June 10, 2021
SW: 252.2
Day/Weight/Comment
6/1 – 252.2 – I ended Round 150 at 251.8 and missed the first few days of Round 151 so I did not participate. Gained a little back since then, but I am overall pleased because it isn’t that much and I know that if I get refocused, I can handle it. This past weekend over the holiday was an eye-opener though. I didn’t expect it to be so hard to stay on track, but with family in town and all the festivities I struggled to log my food and exercise entries into my diary on here, luckily, I did have a physical journal in my purse so I could write it down and enter as soon as I was able this morning. I struggled in general though with all the deserts, food, and alcohol that everyone else was consuming. I did give into drinking one Seagram’s beverage. I know they are empty calories and not good for a person, but step by step I will reach my goal.
6/2 – Did not get weight this morning. Planning on starting a light exercise regimen tonight as well, hopefully, I can kick start my weight loss again. ** Was able to weigh myself yesterday during my lunch break at it was 254.1 lbs. Don’t know how I feel about that. That is a nearly 2 lb. increase from the day before**
6/3 – 251.2 – Feeling like that is inaccurate based on yesterday’s weight, but if I compare it to Tuesday’s weight, I feel like I am on the right track. Went out for pizza with my mom and 8-year-old niece yesterday for lunch while the kids are visiting for the summer. Two slices alone totaled my daily recommended calories according to MFP when I searched and tracked meals in my food diary. That makes me feel like I can’t enjoy those types of outings because it feels like a setback. If anyone has any advice regarding handling the feelings of failure and balancing that with still enjoying the little things, I will gladly take it.
6/4 – 251.0 lbs.
6/5 – 250.2 lbs.
6/6 – 249.6 lbs.
6/7 - 250.7 lbs. – Took Friday off work to spend time with my stepson, niece, and nephew, so data was not entered. We enjoyed a two-night slumber party and even went swimming on Friday afternoon. Enjoyed seeing the numbers go down over the weekend, even though they are once again up today. Continuing to focus on meeting my daily water intake goal and increase my average step count a little more each day. Unfortunately, I did not begin my exercise regimen as planned last Wednesday. My back was tweaked and hurting pretty severely, been working on stretching and trying to relieve some of that pain and tension.
6/8 – 250.1 lbs. – Getting frustrated this week is hard. Boyfriend wants to take his lunch to work now to save money, but has bought himself all kinds of sweets and snacks to pack in addition to his sandwiches/leftovers. He keeps wanting to share them with me and gets almost offended when I decline. Still struggling with back pain so not fully invested in starting an exercise regimen yet either. Not sure what to do at this point. I am cutting calories and portion controlling and drinking only water but I feel like I’m trying to walk climb up an escalator that is pushing me back down.
6/9 – Overslept this morning again and didn’t get to check my weight. ☹ Not having a good week so far.

Are you bloated from TOM? I usually have water retention weight during that time and then a nice little swoosh. Hopefully yours will come tonight.2 -

It's back up now. Maybe it was an update after all? My app looks the same but the app and website are working like normal again. That was odd! Hope things smooth out for everyone with this!
