April☔️
1—208.6… I hope to see 206 again this month!
2—207.8
3—207.4
4—205.8
5—207.8 … Boing… Boing… bouncing numbers on the scale…Still very happy with my progress!
6—207.7
7—206.8 🌷
8—207.3
9—206.1
10–205.2
11–206.3…The sun is out and so are Nova and I!
12–205.7…It’s another yard day!
13–206.6 … had another great day outside in the sun. Got a little sunburn on my arms.☀️
I had fun using my power washer. My days off are done, so it’s back to work today.
Confession time: logging is not my favorite thing to do. But, I’m at the moment in this journey where I need to log consistently. I’m starting with a goal of today… then tomorrow… baby steps.
14–207.1 logged everything I ate from yesterday just now. Definitely room for improvement. Feeling like I’m starting to get back into logging daily.
15–205.5 day 3 of logging. 👍
16–205.2 I just pre-logged for today… hopefully this works!
17–203.8. Yep, it worked! Pre-logging is my new friend. 🥰
18–203.3 feeling fine 🌷
19–204.3
20–204.0 🥰 love being in the low 200’s. My first milestone is only 4 pounds away.
21–204.2 have been much more consistent with logging but it does make me a bit anxious. Working through it and realizing that a 450 calorie salad is healthier than 450 calories of greasy fast food.
Also trying to push through self-sabotage as I get closer to the 200 pound mark. This plan is for life…not for going back to bad habits.
22–204.0 🥰 Happy Saturday!
23–202.9 what a beautiful number!
24–202.5 🌷
25–202.0 🥰
26–201.4 🥰
27–202.4 I cut, edged, and weed-whipped the grass yesterday. Must be gaining muscle! 😜
28–202.7 there is that muscle again! Drove 2 hours to college…Moved my daughter’s stuff into 2 vehicles… helped her clean her dorm and bathroom… drove 2 hours home… and unloaded the cars. So happily tired!

You have had a busy couple of days! Once you can settle back into your normal routine, the scales will start to oblige. You must be happy to have your daughter back home. Is she there for the whole summer?0

My goal for May is to get back below 200 and stay there. Gotta get back into consistent logging.

Happy May to you, too! I don't know what my goals are...just one day at a time for now.

It took everything I had not to cave into mindless eating yesterday. I even forced myself to go for a 23 minute walk once the rain stopped. I logged my food and ate every last calorie given to me. I am very, VERY hungry this morning! I have to go into work today for statements, so that will probably be my saving grace.

I am super late to the party and just starting the under 200lb journey. I started approx. 2 weeks ago at 260, I am currently at 255. Jill I am very encouraged by your progress, 30lb in almost 6 months is great. Everyone has done a good job. It is a reminder to me to remember slow and steady as patience the key; stay motivated and diligent. They say it wasn't put on overnight nor will it come off although we wish it would. Thank you for starting the journey as the comments have further motivated me.1

Thanks, Jill, for starting this thread! Your consistency and progress is inspiring. Even when you stray off course a little bit, like the last couple of days, you always find a way back!1 -

4. 206.0 (I am very hungry. I might not be eating enough; I shall have to take a closer look at my diary and the numbers. Or maybe I have been "stuffed" for so long that I forget what normal satiety feels like!)1 -
Either I read my scale wrong yesterday morning, or it was just a complete aberration, but it said 207.6 again this morning. I am still logging and staying under and getting in some walking, so I am not concerned. The scale is just doing its thing!0

The scale is a fickle friend! I weight myself 4 times then divide by 4 to take the average… and it’s still wonky sometimes.
