    October 4: 195 lb I am really demoralized that I can gain 6 lbs overnight. My calorie intake was in line and not over.

    You know you didn’t gain 6 lbs overnight. It’s water retention. Don’t beat yourself up for something you didn’t cause, it doesn’t help anything and can only cause you to sabotage yourself out of spite.

    If you remain steady in what you’re doing and you’re doing the right things, that weight will come off steadily but there will always be bumps in your weight graph along the way. They truly don’t matter, they’re just part of the progress.

    To see how you’re actually doing, always look at a 30-day graph, minimum.

    Thanks for the insight and your time to share. It is an ouch moment when you have to report it. But that is the accountability component.

    @takinitalloff That’s funny. It feels like I’ve been doing this for so long now that it should be 2024. Four months tends to feel like an eternity when you are denying yourself the foods you really would prefer to eat and feeling hungry most of the time on a daily basis.

    Hi. I’m down 1.5 lbs this week. Happy to be in the 160’s again. It’s been a long time. Overall, I feel better. I’m not gasping for breath going up a flight of steps anymore. Im so glad I finally made up my mind to commit to this journey. Complaining about it wasn’t working for me. This is a better approach. And thank you to all of you here for your support. It does help keep me on track. Until next week…

    Starting weight: 171.5 lbs. (Down from 200 lbs. on July 1 2023)

    @Juslilly Congratulations on entering the new decade. The 160's!!!! That's phenomenal!!! Your hard work is really paying off. It's wonderful to hear how it is positively affecting your health.
