Sorry guys. I don't know what is going on scale-wise.
All of my healthy habits this week were in check...calories, steps, even carbs stayed pretty steady. I'm guessing this gain is either sodium or hormones.
Hopefully its back off by next weigh-in.

@angelic843 - Since all your “healthy habits this week were in check”, I hope you can view it as a good week. The long term behavior changes are the real benefit to each of us and you’ve already demonstrated how consistent positive habits can add up over time — nearly 50 pounds lost!! Congratulations on your tremendous progress and the new habits you’ve developed.
My father used to always say that guilt is a wasted emotion. Instead, he encouraged reflection, learning and immediate steps to act on what we’ve learned. As the samurai expression goes “Fall down seven times, get up eight.” Persistence can be our greatest strength. Best wishes to you - and all our ShrinkingAssets team members - for the coming month!4 -

Thank you for the excellent advice and perspective. Right after I posted I drank my collagen and went for my 30 minute walk.

**ADMIN:Please move me to the support group for August. **
It could be worse! It’s been a challenging week. I was out of town for my uncle’s memorial service last weekend, my husband retired on Thursday, the kids are in town this weekend and we are going on vacation next weekend!
On the downside, I haven’t been consistent in my tracking this week and it shows. I need to do better for the next week because we will be gone for 23 days.
On the plus side, I flew on a plane last weekend and I didn’t have to stress about the seat belt fitting. I am stronger so I was able to easily lift my suitcase into the overhead bin. I was able to buy some smaller clothes for the trip. And the big thing is that, even though others have noticed my weight loss earlier, I am finally starting to see the change in myself! I feel like I can draw on that to help me continue my weight loss journey, although I will admit it was hard this week because I was so busy.
Because I am going to be on vacation starting next Saturday, I won’t have access to a scale so it’s probably best if I just move to the support group for the entire month of August. I’ll check in when I can but I don’t expect to spend much time online. We plan to do a lot of walking so keep your fingers crossed that my bum knee will hold up with minimal complaints. I will still be here for a few more days but will catch up with y’all when I get back. Have a great day month!5 -
