    Weigh In Day: Saturday
    PW (Previous Weight): 155.8 pounds (had gained 0.6 pounds)
    CW (Current Weight): 153.8 pounds (lost 2.0 pounds)

    Last Saturday, I had gained for 3 weeks in a row. This past week, I resisted the desire to get take out more than once, didn't bring any more junkfood into the house, really tried to drink 8 glasses of water a day, logged my food Monday thru Friday (a frustrating, time consuming task for me) and I really tried to get back on track with better eating and mindful eating. This Saturday I am back down 2.0 pounds. Glad all my hardwork, dedication and commitment paid off. I weighed 153.8 pounds at 7am this morning for my official weigh in, which I logged into MFP but as usual MFP didn't post the loss in my newsfeed. Sigh. I went back to bed to rest and out of curiosity weighed myself again at 10am and I was 153.1 pounds which is a loss of 2.7 pounds. I am sticking with the first weigh in for my official weigh in but happy to know I am down an extra 0.7 pounds as now I have re-lost all the weight I gained the previous 3 weeks. Now time to lose some new weight and work hard not gain it back as that is the trend I seem to follow. Down 16.3 pounds from my highest weight in 2016. Still need to lose 25.8 pounds to get to my goal weight. Although discouraged that I have been losing and gaining the same pounds for about 20 years I keep pushing on to one day get to my goal weight and stay there!

    Way to go, @inshapeCK! That shows what happens when we do all the things. I’m in the same battle as you but for more years. 😂

    March Week 3
    Monday
    PW: 217.6
    CW: 217.6

    I had actually gained a pound or so during the week but was able to get it off before this morning. I had a bit of a revelation this morning before I got out of bed. This is how my weight loss usually goes, zigzagging up and down and then finally seeing a loss. I felt discouraged last week when I had gained, and quite honestly just wanted to give up again, but then I realized this is all a part of the journey, losing, gaining, staying the same. I need to keep the negative thoughts out of my head, log everything, and drink that water. I did get some exercise this weekend with my kids all in town so that was good. hopefully I’ll have a loss next week

    Does anyone have a link to the March spreadsheet?

    I have tagged Ashley to see if she can share it with you.

    These are some good insights... and good idea to kick those negative thoughts out of your head!
