    Managed my snacking better last night! Hoping to do the same today. We’re supposed to get a mild snow storm in a few hours. Brought my gym clothes with me, in case I need to walk to the gym from work 😂

    Jan 1 193 sw.

    Jan 1 193 friends left today so hopefully can get in my water and work out and can flush any bloating
    Jan 12 193. Frustrated to see this number.
    Jan 19 192 def wanted to see a lower number but I know I have drinking all the water I’m supposed to, I have been doing all my mfp entries and have worked out 3 times this week.
    Jan 26 192 hmmm. I know there were a couple times I could have made better food choices so hoping for better results next week. Big nsv this week. Treated my son to sonic for a treat and didn’t get anything for myself. Normally would get an order of cheese sticks and a coffee. So I am proud of myself for that. Friends over this weekend so I’m going to really try to watch what I eat/drink this weekend.
    Feb 2 193. Ugh. That’s all I have to say for that number.
    Feb 9 193. Not really sure what’s up with that number. Been putting in all my food, walking 10k plus 6/7 days. We did go to Disney over the weekend so the food is sodium high but we walked over 20k steps each day and I did have no buns with what I ate for the most part and drank water. Hopefully next week will show the effort I’ve been putting in.
    Feb 16 194 pretty down about this number. Idk why it went higher. Super hate the fluctuations. I’m getting my steps, working out, filling in mfp so hopefully I’ll see a better number next week.

    I’m proud of myself for doing body weight exercises last night, in addition to a 5 mile run of course, instead of more snacking! That was a big surprise to me.
    Today woke up too early, and may have to hit the gym straight from work as I’m too sleepy 🥱 😴

    Not surprised, had late dinner and snacks after my near 8 mile run. Need to eliminate those post workout snacks for good.

    Feeling water retention in the body, maybe from those weight lifting sore muscles 🏋🏻 😂
    … or the midnight meal.
    10 days left in month to make another dent.

    You're doing great, @Plasicage, and I'm so happy for all your success!

    @dutchgirl188 @jennigerding19 @RoyK90 @brittgreenlikethecolor88 @carley_marie83, welcome or welcome back! I've got a new work schedule, so I haven't been as active here.

    Because of my schedule shift, I haven't been weighing, though I've been working out 6 days a week. Hoping to be back to it by the end of this week.

    Hope you all are having a good week so far.

    Ugh I think I need to buy a new digital scale lol
    Did body weight exercise, running, and ate just a little over. Then came the hunger pangs before bed. Didn’t go overboard. I guess going back to patience. I do feel some positive changes in body so I keep going.

    My digital scale for sure not working properly and throwing out random numbers, which isn’t helping my plateau. I have non digital scale, that’s harder to read, but I test it with dumbbells and it gives correct reading. Debating if i should just use it; it could help me with patience, as only 2lb difference is visible 🤔
    Right now I feel a little defeated BUT it’s only been 6 weeks of proper tracking. Took me a year to gain 10 lbs in comparison.

    @Plasicage I definitely prefer the digital scales, but use what you have and maybe just make sure to weigh in exactly the same spot on the floor each time. My traditional scale varied too much for me to continue with it. But even my digital can vary at time half a pound. I've had to put it in *exactly* the same spot every morning. :)

    @ManifestingToday I like digital better too, but it’s not only off by few pounds, it throws out random numbers! Today I was 153 and 151. It gives out numbers up to 10lbs off without reason. Higher or lower. I changed batteries and it’s even worse!!
    I also weigh myself sometimes at the gym, and it has more lines to read, but I typically go there late in the day. The traditional scale at home is accurate, 30lb dumbbell shows up as 30lbs on the scale, but the lines go in 2lb increments. I also use it to weigh my luggage pre travel; it’s accurate.
    I don’t want to buy 3rd scale but I may 🤣
    Patience must be my lesson this year. The last few pounds, and body reshaping takes time.

    ManifestingToday I like digital better too, but it’s not only off by few pounds, it throws out random numbers! Today I was 153 and 151. It gives out numbers up to 10lbs off without reason. Higher or lower. I changed batteries and it’s even worse!!
    I also weigh myself sometimes at the gym, and it has more lines to read, but I typically go there late in the day. The traditional scale at home is accurate, 30lb dumbbell shows up as 30lbs on the scale, but the lines go in 2lb increments. I also use it to weigh my luggage pre travel; it’s accurate.
    I don’t want to buy 3rd scale but I may 🤣
    Patience must be my lesson this year. The last few pounds, and body reshaping takes time.

    I can't remember if we already discussed this -- is there a reset button on the bottom of the digital scale? I know this has happened to mine, and occasionally happens to others. It might be a calibration button -- something that will reset it. It might be worth a look (or finding the owner's manual online), to see if that's an option before tossing the scale out of frustration.

    Sounds like you have a great traditional home scale; mine was never accurate like yours. I totally get not needing to replace it with a new digital, just wanting to. Those 2lb increments can be a struggle to read at X-o'clock in the morning, pre-coffee. :D

    I'm so impressed with your progress and your mindset. With those last pounds, you've definitely got this. ✨

    I may have to cut out longer weekend runs shorter, because I can go overboard snacking afterwards, due to exhaustion from the run. Also my muscles haven’t stopped hurting yet from lifting weights, but I have to keep going with them. It’s one of those “when I lose enough weight I’ll start more lifting” things that need to happen now.

    @ManifestingToday once I reach certain weight, I go on hiatus, so those last few lbs are very challenging for me. And maintaining! That’s why I want accountability for at least a year this time.
    I looked for reset button on the scale but didn’t see anything. I’ll google later. I think it’s the Conair Weight Watchers scale.

    ✅ That totally makes sense. Maintenance is sometimes just as difficult as losing.

    Just a thought, but depending upon when you bought the scale, you might be able to write Conair and see if they'll do anything to help replace it -- I've seen at least one person on Amazon that they helped out. Might be worth writing an email just for the heck of it. I had a pair of headphones from JLab that broke and at a year old, they gave me a $30 credit to buy some new ones (JLab for life in this household now :) ). Some companies out there are still doing awesome customer service.
