I have gone so far off course it feels overwhelming to find my way back. Also can't believe I have let this continue for 4 years! Starting today I am getting super focused on getting where I want to be. Keep me accountable! 10 Day goal is a modest 2 lb loss.....

09/03 -NWP- (Trend weight 194.7)
09/04 -193.6- (Trend weight 194.6)It’s supposed to be in the low 90’s here today so my handymen will prolly be miserable since I don’t have A/C. My trend weight is still going down which is hopeful. I just need to stick to my guns. I have very low blood pressure today. 81/48. Pulse 84. It may be stress. There have been 3 separate deaths in our community in the past week. In a small town, this affects us all. No sleep last night after the horrific death of a local lady. The details haunted me all night. We don’t have any crime here really so it’s nothing like that. I’ll push lots of water today. That usually helps my bp although I did drink plenty of water yesterday.
09/05 -192.0- (Trend weight 194.3) Another hot humid day here in Michigan. Being surrounded by the largest fresh-water lakes on Earth always brings such humidity! It does feel like Florida again today here. The handymen took the day off due to some doctor appointments they had so I should easily be able to fit in more exercise if the heat doesn’t get to me! Yesterday was a very good day food wise. I got in about 21 minutes on the exercise bike as well late last night. I am zig-zagging my calories and carbs and yesterday was the lowest day planned for this week. I was tempted…..but I kept to my pre-logging plan. I’m glad I did. I’m still striving for those elusive 180’s. But the truth is, I've struggled this whole round just to get back to my round starting weight. Almost there, Just 0.2 to go. I should be there by tomorrow.

You can ask MFP to remove the duplicate post. They usually do it pretty quickly. Hope this helps avoid confusion.5 -

I'm Amanda, back again for another round. I'm 5'2", 38F in Virginia.
SW Round 234: 127.4
GW Round 234: 126.0
Setting some non-scale goals as well:
💪🏻 work out 9/10 days
✏️ track food 6/10 days
💧 drink 64oz of water 10/10 days
8/30: 💪🏻✏️💧 127.4 - My DH is on an alcohol-free kick and it's so helpful to me. We are chief enablers of each other. I'm significantly less likely to have a drink if he isn't and I'm sure the reverse is true. We haven't gone many consecutive days without a drink in a LONG time. I'm cautious about setting hard and fast rules around it in the event that I rebel really hard against myself, so I am just going to take it a day at a time. Today will be alcohol-free for sure, as were the past two nights. I tracked my intake yesterday and it's definitely *much* easier to stay in range when I don't have to add any alcohol calories!!
Today I'll track again. My plan was to strength train today but I slept wrong somehow and my shoulder feels awful. I will probably pivot to yoga or mobility training instead. I hope it doesn't hurt for too long and interfere with my half marathon training. We're coming down to the wire - September 17th!
8/31: 💪🏻✏️💧128.0 - surprised the damage isn't worse after last night's salt-fest. Might see even more on the scale tomorrow. I went over by 700ish calories yesterday because we ended up going out to dinner at a Japanese restaurant. I also ended up drinking sake instead of no alcohol. The one thing I am proud of is that I didn't drink any more when we got home! I tend to like to keep it rolling after getting home from dinner. My work life is feast or famine and I am in feast mode right now, making it hard for me to fit in my fitness goals or literally anything else. Some weeks I can hold it down while spending hours taking care of myself, but weeks like this one I have to crank at my desk. It all balances out as far as work/life balance goes, but the stressful weeks are made harder by the lack of time to easily fit in workouts which exponentially help my mental health. Add to that the sleep deprivation I'm operating under this week (thanks, 2-year-old), and I'm surprised I'm functioning at all.
9/1: 💧✏️💪🏻 125.8! That's a nice unexpected whoosh! I think focusing on water is helping me shed some long-retained water. Fridays tend to be my lightest day, then I head into the weekend and undo my progress from the weekdays. We don't have any major plans this weekend, but alcohol is on the docket. We're having friends over for dinner tonight, then tomorrow I may be doing a walking tailgate for our local college football game. The university my husband works at has a huge football following (they were good, once upon a time, though certainly not in the 5 years we've lived here), and tomorrow is their first game of the season, so the town is sure to be rowdy. My friends are doing a stroller tailgate where I guess they push their kids around town and drink beer haha. What could go wrong? Anyway, thinking of joining them for that, but I also won't be bothered if we stay out of chaos. Today I have an easy 45-minute run scheduled and I'm hoping to fit in some strength training as well. The weather is GORGEOUS (70s and low humidity, my absolute favorite) so I'm going to do the run outside. Happy FriYAY, all!
9/2: 125.8. Surprised to maintain after going significantly over calories yesterday! My overage from yesterday may catch up tomorrow, though. It definitely seems to take a day a lot of times.
9/3: 💧💪🏻 126.4
9/4: 💪🏻126.4
9/5: 127.4 whoops. Funny, when my non-scale goals go off the rails, so do the scale-related ones. Almost like I know what I need to do to lost weight! Work is bananas but I wanted to check in to help me get back on track for the remainder of the challenge. I did squeeze in a 50-minute "run" (easy run = HR below 146 BPM for me, so I'm basically jogging at a walking pace).

@Cchassee - your reasons for rebelling - I can so see myself in you!!
Really wanted to be a vet when I was in school, did all my exams, worked hard passed them all except Physics which I needed to get to University, instead of retaking it I gave up my dream and took a clerical job, regretted it all my life !!
Some times when I'm buying things if they haven't got my size/colour/even meal exactly that I want, I'll walk away, !! Yes, I think you have hit the nail on the head, thank you, at the age of 65 you have explained so much of my behaviour!!
So now, can I change my behaviour? That is the question, now that I know I am going to try to accept that I can't always have what I want & I an also try your strategy for not making bad choices (or for me binging cuz once I start I can't stop)!!
I've copied and pasted your theory as I am also going to try reading this in moments of weakness/defiance.
Thank you again6 -
65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 234 (my 164th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Goal this round is to get under and stay under 138, I really don’t want to keep hovering around 140 pounds. Holiday is now in 12 days! Clothes do feel more comfortable but. I still need to crack on & lose a few more pounds, but can't let up: time is running out! I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I keep knuckling down!! Really try to stay on track & do another complete round without binging. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

8/30 139.8 – 10.78 miles walked, 75% exercise calories eaten back. Out to lunch yesterday with DSs (3), it was the youngest’s birthday, declined a cocktail and tried to choose sensibly. Hopefully this is just a normal fluctuation.
8/31 DNW – out really early to get up to childmind DGSs and forgot!!
9/1 141.6 – oh dear fell off big time yesterday, back on it today!!
9/2 140 – that’s better! Better choices, & no binges. 5.71 miles walked, 50 calories over.
9/3 139.4 – 7.45 miles walked, 90% exercise calories eaten back. Starting to feel better with myself (again!).
9/4 139.4 – 12.51 miles walked, 30% exercise calories eaten back.
9/5 138.8 – 8.72 miles walked, half of exercise calories eaten back. I’m late posting today; I was going out to lunch with my sisters, I knew what we were going to eat – High Tea, which consisted of a sandwich of choice, a piece of cake and a scone with jam and clotted cream, also it is forecast to be 29 degrees here today. So I had a plan! I just had a pint of water and then headed out of the door to walk in the cooler temp. on return I had a banana, a pear and another pint of water. I then had to pick one of my sisters up from the garage as she had dropped her car off. We headed to a garden centre to look around before we ate. It was delicious, then for dinner I just had roast pork, veggies & an apple. Managed to keep it just 77 calories over for the day. But the other thing is that all of my sisters have today made a pact to lose weight, they have all joined WW, they are all overweight (very) so hopefully in the future this will help on the Tuesdays that meet up. I want to fully support them too.

@Cchassee having two teenage girls and my partner who still eats like a teenage boy.. our pantry is filled with that sort of stuff. What I've found that works for me is buying variants I personally don't like where possible, and also I got little pantry baskets from Ikea. So when I open the pantry I don't immediately have all of the little snacky stuff staring at me. I think it's helped the whole family actually, because they definitely don't disappear as quickly as they used to before the baskets!5

Daily Details:Weds.30.08:
3 days into using MFP and actually logging and planning everything. I’m hitting my calorie goal, and even though it feels like I’m eating A LOT the scale is moving in the right direction, so something must be going right. Struggling so much with getting the macros in the right place. I tend to go over with fats, but I think I see some places I can make changes in next weeks meal plan to get everything more in line. Hopefully.
Didn’t get a morning workout in today, I’ll do a longer one in the afternoon. I’ve actually made my own 12 week workout plan, and I think I overestimated my abilities. My body is so sore and I’m only on the third day! For the sake of consistency, I might cut down to 1 workout per day for this challenge, and then start back at the beginning of the plan doing the two per day. It’s meant to be circuit training in the morning and cardio in the afternoon most days, but I really didn’t realise how unfit I’ve become. It’s defeating and motivating at the same time.
Thurs.31.08:
The scale’s still moving in the right direction despite no exercise yesterday. We ended up getting crazy afternoon storms so I didn’t get out for a walk. Overslept again this morning, I’ve gotten in the terrible habit of sleeping in since my partner has been working at home. He used to leave at 5am to catch the train which would wake me. Now I’m not waking up until around 7, even if I set an alarm, I half wake up to turn it off and go back to sleep. So frustrating! But sticking to my meal plan and the 8 hour window has been a breeze – so my diet’s on track. It’s important to remember that this isn’t all or nothing, and that progress in one area still counts even if I don’t progress in another area. And to just take everything one day at a time.
Fri.01.09:
Forgot to have my snack between lunch and dinner yesterday, so I ended up having to add a few things to my dinner to get my calories up. Still only finished at just over 1300, rather than above the 1400 that’s my target. Then have been busy this morning, so didn’t even get to breakfast until 1230pm, and my lunch is meant to be at 100pm. So I’ll have a late lunch soon (about 215pm now), and hopefully be on track and somewhat hungry for dinner. At least my “snack” this afternoon is just a smoothie, so I can actually have that with my lunch.
Anyway, down almost 2.5kgs (just over 5lbs) since Monday! Gotta love how quickly it comes off at first. I’m sure it will slow down next week, but we’ll see. I am quite a bit higher than where my body has tended to settle in the past 5 or so years, so I’m assuming weight loss to that point might be a bit quicker than typical.
Sat.02.09:
Posting early today because it’s the weekend and it will be a busy day! Taking the girls shopping this morning and also hopefully getting myself some new jeans. I’ve been trying to avoid it, because I’m hoping they won’t fit me for long. But my favourite jeans were already big on me (I could pull them up over my bum and hips without unbuttoning them) and now they’re literally falling off. But mostly it will just be a lot of walking around the shops and the girls trying stuff on that they’re never going to buy. They both have jobs, and even though we buy them anything that is needed, they use their money on frivolous purchases. Which typically results in a LOT of try-on's and a lot of "do I really want this?" ... and then on to the next shop 😅
It's also father’s day in Australia tomorrow, so we need to get a card! (Gifts have already been bought). Will likely check in late tomorrow, as I'm doing father's day breakfast and then I think we're going out riding. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Sun.03.09:
No change on the scale today, but that’s okay. I knew I couldn’t keep losing at the rate I was going! Made brekkie wraps for father’s day breakfast, so I broke my fast a bit earlier today than usual which means no dinner tonight. That’s okay though. Brekkie wraps are one of my favourite “indulgence” breakfasts, and I had a bottled ice coffee which are rare treats for me as well. I managed to fit it in to my macros and calorie goal though. Not sure if everything I tracked was completely accurate, the bacon is from a local butcher and has no nutrition info on the package. This is one of the reasons I ended up not following through with using MFP last time. But I tried to choose an item in the database that was right down the middle amongst the “streaky bacon” options and went by grams, so hopefully it’s pretty close to accurate.
Not much planned for the rest of today, we were supposed to go riding this morning but my partner woke up not feeling 100%. We have his daughter here for the weekend, and she’s been sick, so he’s likely caught what she has. So I think I’ve just got a quiet day taking care of a giant man baby with man-flu for the rest of the day. I will get meal prepping for myself and lunch/snacks done for everyone else, and clean the house
Mon.04.09:
I think it’s time for new batteries in my scale. It varied a fair bit before settling this morning, and it usually doesn’t do that. So not 100% sure on my weight today. I’ll get new batteries today so we’ll see what tomorrow says.
Not really much else to update today – it’s Monday. It’s gloomy and overcast, my partner’s still suffering from man-flu, and I didn’t sleep well because our dog wouldn’t settle last night. She’s recently become an inside dog and my partner is opposed to crate training, so if she doesn’t settle on her bed for the night she ends up wandering and waking me. So, it’s very much a Monday.
Tues.05.09:
I definitely had a feeling yesterday’s weight wasn’t correct. New batteries in the scale though, so I know I’m accurate today! I’m doing better with macros though I’m under the minimum target by around 50 calories most days. I have an appointment booked with the dietitian Thursday to review and see if she wants me to stay with the 1400-1600 target and if being under by a few is really a big deal. I keep forgetting to eat my afternoon snack too which is kind of a pain as then I have to try and figure out what to add to dinner or else eat my snack with my dinner which is then a LOT of food for me. I have reminders set for all of my other meals except that, as I kinda thought I’d vary the time depending when I finish work and when I started feeling peckish. But I think I need to set up a reminder for that one as well.
It’s a beautiful spring day here, and it’s supposed to get up to 31c/88f so I really don’t want to be stuck inside working. So I’m off to get some work done so I can finish early and enjoy the day!
Weds.06.09:
A bit irritable today. Hoping that I can acknowledge this now and not let it affect me and what I eat today.
Making slow progress the past few days, but any progress is good! I really need to make sure I’m getting my workouts in as I’ve been really lax on that and I know it would help.

Yay, back again for another round. Can't wait.
Jen; 46; 5'4"
About Me:This is my sixth round and really appreciated having someplace to stay accountable.
Thanks to a medication I'm on for my mental health and an overeating habit, I managed to gain a lot of weight in the last year or so. On July 4, I stepped on the scale for the first time since I started the med (that is known to cause weight gain) and decided enough was enough. I buckled down and started actually recording my food for the first time in over five years and started walking every day. Now I need motivation to keep going. This coming round, the kids go back to school and I'll be watching my grandson more so we'll see how that affects what and when I want to eat and when I can go on my walks. Hopefully, I can keep up the daily walking through September before the rains start later in fall.

8/30 - 254.2 - 3.12 miles - Not sure what I did yesterday. Didn't measure something right or just snacked a little too much (I got these Ritz crisp and thin crackers that are so yummy, I want to eat the whole bag). Oh well. Can't believe August is over already. Kids start back to school on Tuesday and back to the grind of having to get up at 7 every morning just to make sure my teens get up (17 and 13) in time to catch their buses to school. Then I have to watch my grandson during the day most of the week. But with the cooling weather, that means I can take my walk any time during the day. I was only doing it super early because it was so hot after 10am. I'm looking forward to losing more weight through the next month and not giving up yet.
8/31 - 254.2 - 1.53 miles - Can't believe August is over already. My walk got cut short because of rain. I don't have a waterproof jacket. The one I have is water resistant but the rain was just too hard and consistent and soaked right through after about 15 minutes of walking. I got home after 35 minutes and was soaked to the bone. I guess I'm either going to have to wait until the forecast says there's a break in the rain, accept shorter walks or head to the HOA clubhouse where they have a gym. I'd still get wet on the 10-minute walk there but I shouldn't be soaked. I haven't decided how I'm going to play it, but it does rain 9 months out of the year so I have to figure something out.
9/1 - 252.4 - 2.87 miles - (Forgot to post this yesterday.) I didn't quite make it three miles today because my shoe was rubbing on the back of my heel and it really hurt. I had to walk weird to try and reduce the rubbing. I still had a bit to go on my normal route, but it was hurting so bad, I just called it quits and took the quickest way back home. I now have a blister on the back of my heel so I won't be wearing those shoes for a bit. Not sure why they started bothering me suddenly. They were fine the last few days.
9/2 - 251.2 - 3.1 miles - Made it out early enough for my walk today and avoided the heat thankfully. I wore my old Sketchers to avoid making the blister on the back of my foot worse. Just 1.2 lbs to my first major goal. I'm so excited. My size 20 pants are already falling off of me when I'm walking which is really annoying. I have a pair of 18s somewhere that I bought when my weight went down to 235-240 for awhile. I'll have to dig them out again.
9/3 - 251.2 - 3.13 miles - (Thought I posted this yesterday but I guess I wrote it and never hit post.) It rained for most of my walk but not very hard. I didn't even need to put my sweater on and the rain kept me cool so I got my full three miles in.
9/4 - 250.0 - 3.0 miles - Today is the last day of summer vacation. Decided to walk to the store again today. Once again, I bought too much heavy stuff, but this time I remembered extra bags so I could distribute it better. Got Subway for lunch and headed home. I got about halfway home when my husband saw me walking and picked me up so instead of the full four miles, I only walked three. But I was happy for the ride because I was right about at the part where I had to go uphill for a half mile (which is still exhausting). Had my Subway when I got home. Making burgers for dinner (Happy Labor Day!). Tomorrow is going to be hectic getting back into the school routine.
9/5 - 249.4 - 3.15 miles - First day of school! I now have a senior and an 8th grader. The bus never came for my daughter and she was already late for school and since the high school and middle school have the same bus, it meant my son would also be late so my husband drove them. I think I heard the buses a couple minutes after they left (which was after the high school already started for the day). Hopefully they're on time tomorrow. In celebration, I made homemade pizza and had the first one out of the oven about 10 minutes after they got home, but my daughter decided to take a nap instead. Sigh. I skipped lunch (well, I had a small snack) so I could enjoy my pizza tonight without worrying about going completely over my calories for the day. As always, pizza day is worth it. The real challenge is not eating any for breakfast tomorrow. Also, I made it under 250lbs! I redid my goal and I'm now aiming for 235 by mid/late-October. It's going to start really raining soon so I won't get out walking as much so we'll see how that affects things

Is there an acronym or word for a 10 days club version of a prayer request? Such as, to 'give me the strength not to snack tonight' I'll need it. I've got an appointment tomorrow over which I'm stressing about. I need to sleep well and I don't want to think about it and I don't want to robotically eat to distract myself. That'll hurt my sleep and work against my goals.
I think that in trying to force this habit to stop I'm forcing the "necessity is the mother of invention" thing of inventing the alternative to what is a coping mechanism for me. The problem is that I haven't "invented" one yet. Poor planning on my part... What are some ideas from the hive?4 -
65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 234 (my 164th). Thank you @quiltingjaine for the new round, so grateful.
Goal this round is to get under and stay under 138, I really don’t want to keep hovering around 140 pounds. Holiday is now in 12 days! Clothes do feel more comfortable but. I still need to crack on & lose a few more pounds, but can't let up: time is running out! I’ve done it before so I can do it again if I keep knuckling down!! Really try to stay on track & do another complete round without binging. After all I am what I eat in more ways than one, my whole demeanour is totally different when I am happy with myself!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

SW Round 234 139.8
8/30 139.8 – 10.78 miles walked, 75% exercise calories eaten back. Out to lunch yesterday with DSs (3), it was the youngest’s birthday, declined a cocktail and tried to choose sensibly. Hopefully this is just a normal fluctuation.
8/31 DNW – out really early to get up to childmind DGSs and forgot!!
9/1 141.6 – oh dear fell off big time yesterday, back on it today!!
9/2 140 – that’s better! Better choices, & no binges. 5.71 miles walked, 50 calories over.
9/3 139.4 – 7.45 miles walked, 90% exercise calories eaten back. Starting to feel better with myself (again!).
9/4 139.4 – 12.51 miles walked, 30% exercise calories eaten back.
9/5 138.8 – 8.72 miles walked, half of exercise calories eaten back. I’m late posting today; I was going out to lunch with my sisters, I knew what we were going to eat – High Tea, which consisted of a sandwich of choice, a piece of cake and a scone with jam and clotted cream, also it is forecast to be 29 degrees here today. So I had a plan! I just had a pint of water and then headed out of the door to walk in the cooler temp. on return I had a banana, a pear and another pint of water. I then had to pick one of my sisters up from the garage as she had dropped her car off. We headed to a garden centre to look around before we ate. It was delicious, then for dinner I just had roast pork, veggies & an apple. Managed to keep it just 77 calories over for the day. But the other thing is that all my sisters have today made a pact to lose weight, they have all joined WW, they are all overweight (very) so hopefully in the future this will help on the Tuesdays that meet up. I want to fully support them too.
9/6 139.8 – all yesterdays carbs ? Flush plenty water today. 8.14 miles walked yesterday 77 calories over.

Good Luck to all this round- went off the true and proven MFP how to lose weight guidelines - Track track track- weigh weigh weigh! I surprise surprise surprise (only to me) gain my weight back. So I am striving to weigh me and my food and track these 10 days...
SW Round 234: 120.4
GW Round: 119
UGW 118
8/30- 120.4- Started last round great- and seemed to lose weight so decided to become complacent and not track- worked for a day or 2. Went immediately to my head- thought i did not need to measure anymore and no one here needs to guess what happen- only me. So back 2 rounds and trying again. Am proud of myself- Did Les Mills Body Pump last- think this was second time since my accident - but now with PT guidance I am confident- Very sore this morning and hoping the 4 ounces is from the high sodium dinner I had last night and my weight workout.
8/31- 119.8 Still sore from Body Pump workout there are several muscle groups in thighs I was not aware of before, and I used such little weight. I need to start scheduling that workout several times a week. Not much time this morning- I so enjoy reading all your post during breakfast but seeing the sleep doctor today. Nervous about what sleep study will involve. Having to prove I have insomnia and doze off constantly for a day or 2 sounds so miserable. I hope I can do on a weekend.
9/1- 119.0 My legs are still sore from my work out Tuesday, luckily shoulder isn' since I off to PT early. Never know if I will have a good night playing pickleball- but last night was great. I struggled with exhaustion all day, but woke up during the first game, was wired at 9 PM who I left. I had glass of milk but did not eat anything, showered and went to bed early. Good news Sleep doctor says I do not have prove my insomnia with sleep study, testing is really for sleep apnea. Do relief there. Still more challenges ahead.
9/2- 118.6 WOW! honestly not sure what to do- have not been this weight for at least 7-8 years...I guess figuring out how to maintain is my next step. I have been encouraged by my PT to now do Body Pump which is a weight lifting class, so need to now commit to that class 3 times a week. Mmm may have to look into this more this weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
9/3-120.6 Jumped the Gun yesterday- that doesn't sound right... so awful with sayings etc. But I got ahead of my skies is something I have actually done and experienced the crash -So that looks like the case here. I did drink a lot of wine yesterday and made a delicious korean dish ( maybe that was high in sodium). Or on Friday I had a small binge on potato chips, residual sodium overload/bloat? Its just if I am going to go up 2 pounds there should be some chocolate cake or decadent dessert involved!!!
9/4- 120.2 feeling a little jinxed... I di not play pickleball yesterday, rested my should but did do Body pump. I think I am still bloated, did drink a lot of water yesterday but very thirsty. Off to play pickleball this morning then scheduled this evening to play with my girlfriends- that will be more of a party. Going out to lunch so more sodium today... As much as I enjoy weekend it seems my body craves routine.
9/5- 120.6 Do not understand anything...But back to the habits that work. Going to track today, that seems to be what works for me. So hot and humid here the past few days, I reached a level sweat and sunscreen that was beyond disgusting but I had scheduled to play in morning and evening and then huge project all afternoon moving my deck furniture delivered to my deck- a way greater project then can be imagined considering where my deck is and the furniture was a 1/4 inch to wide for most of my doors. So kind of felt I deserve to see a lower weight- Oh well shake it off! Start again! Its a New Day!
9/6- 119.6- It seems to be tracking, weighing and having a weekday schedule works for me. I would like to not have just a one day drop in my goal weight area but float around there for a while. I am just spitballing here- but I am seeing parallel between my Invisalign and weight loss goal. I need to accept I will be wearing retainers full time for at least 6 months after treatment and nightly wear for life...I think I need to accept even reaching my weight loss goal I need to stay on tracking for 6 months and reset my system and then maintain for life. Again obvious for everyone else- lightbulb moment for me.
