    My biggest 2 recurring issues with not losing weight are 1) late night snacking and 2) I like beer (especially IPAs, which have a lot of calories) and wine, etc. mostly with dinner. I found an article which has inspired me (at least for now) to skip those late night snacks and alcohol. I posted it during the last round but for anyone who didn't see it and in case it's helpful to you, here it is: Late night snacking could be ruining your health — here’s how to trick your body into stopping

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It
    DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!

    12/3: 133.2 - Got a good workout in yesterday. Calories were carb and fat dense as I was trying to use up some heavy whipping cream that I had bought for Thanksgiving. Made the NYTimes creamy cauliflower pasta recipe - delicious but definitely calorie- and fat-laden.
    12/4: 132.9 - I had a good workout yesterday, but then mostly sedentary the rest of the day. Good eating within calories and with macros as well.
    12/5: 133.4 - Mini-binge last night.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/02 …..197.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
    12/03 -197.0- (Trend weight 197.7)


    12/04 -197.0- (Trend weight 197.7) Good meals bad snacks again. When handyman is here it seems I go too long without food and then grab at conveniences. I just realized the pattern. He will be here again today before heading back downstate later today. I will plan my snacks more carefully. This week will be filled with several days of travel which will mess up the pattern of my waterpill. I think at one point it will be 3 days in a row without it. I expect my weight on the scale to be hard to follow this week.

    12/05 -197.8- (Trend weight 197.7) It seems like I hover around the same pound or two for months, then finally see a nice little drop. My last substantial drop was when I dipped into Onederland. Now I seem to be staying there no matter what (yay) but not really making any lasting further progress again. Looking for my next real drop or whoosh. They need to come faster! What is not helping: the night time snacks (unhealthy ones) trying to creep back in. I’m going to look for that article Robyn posted.


    12/06 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/07 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/08 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/09 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/10 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/11 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)

    12/12 -xxxxx- (Trend weight xxxxx)
