    Well I started as of April - Highest I've been in years 185.6.
    Weight as of June 1st - 177.8
    Overall goal weight is to be -145

    June 7 - 178.6
    June 8 - 178.8
    June 9 - 179.6

    Today was great. Heading in the right direction now. I actually tried a pair of pants today that fit snug and it fit well. So that was a great feeling.

    I walked 2 miles yesterday and even climbed a few stairs on my bad knee -- so things are slightly improving! However I slept like butt - maybe 5.5 hours, so I'm not shocked the number didn't really drop much. Lack of sleep really affects weight.

    @RunStart34 Congrats. Clothes fitting better is a definitely sign you're going in the right direction! Now that you have that proof, keep going. <3

    @HappyDonkey75 I know it's frustrating. It could be your cycle, it could be salt you didn't know was in a food, etc. <3 You're obviously doing all the things. It will eventually drop. I wonder if you need more protein to help with the increased exercise? I have zero nutrition knowledge, just thinking out loud.

    Everyone else in the frustration zone, I hear you. I'm there too. I hope we all see some more welcome numbers tomorrow. ✨

    I didn't snack, I walked 1.3 miles yesterday. I'm choosing to believe this is some water/waste buildup and it will be lower tomorrow. I fully expected it to say 209.X this morning though. 😑

    Hang in there, @tmbg1. 💛 You too, @kellyswimmer - at least it's the same and not fluctuating. 💛@SofaKween I'm glad there's some downward trend. 💛

    Running to a meeting. I hope you all have an amazing Tuesday.

    June1 201.6- I might have this wrong, it might have been 202.6? I scaled and then didn’t write it down right away
    June 2 202.6
    June 3 202.0
    June 4 202.8
    June 5- 200.7 ( weighed twice to make sure)
    June 6 203.1
    Jun 7-201.9
    June 8 DNW
    June 9 DNW- huge hike over 6 miles with hills- very challenging physically for my current fitness level
    June 10- *202.8
    June 11-200.7

    I am thinking my body just reacts with water retention really easily . Thus explaining those 1-2 lb gains. I had done that big hike Sunday and didn't sleep well that same night (not sure why , was totally exhausted and should have) Woke up Monday super body sore and even worse last night into today. I know muscles that are worked hard retain water. So I am thinking that is part of my picture with the fluctuations. I think the other issue is sometimes I don't drink enough water. Yesterday I drank about 2 gallons total to try to flush things along and landed on 1545 Kcal (1500 is my daily goal) for the day.

    Not quite sure what to say. Had another day yesterday sitting mainly at the computer – maybe the scales are telling me I need to sit down more! Climbing today, trying a different venue so feeling a little anxious.

    @Plasicage It's ok - feelings are valid. Sometimes this journey can be really frustrating and it's ok to give yourself a break before getting back to full motivation. Sending good energy. 💜

    @kebass01, @RunStart34 , and @SofaKween, so glad you're seeing progress! So happy for you!

    @kellyswimmer You're taking it with humor! You've got this. Pick up that scale and tell it you want it to show you a lower number tomorrow, thank you very much. 😂

    More coffee, and on to my next call. Happy Wednesday, everyone!

    Had watermelon before dinner last night, and even though I was uncomfortably full at the gym, ended up eating less overall!
    Still have that watermelon in fridge to eat through next couple of days.

    @ManifestingToday thanks! It’s the routine off balance that throws everything off. It’s a lot of work changing years and years of patterns! And there’s actual work involved in it too…

    June 12 - did not weigh

    I usually weight early morning but woke up late and had to hurry and get ready. Or maybe I didn't want to see the number today since yesterday was so nice. But not sure if I'll be able to weight every day as I leave for Vacation and can't take my scale 🙃. Hope to keep seeing everyone post though.

    @ManifestingToday I know what you mean when you don't get enough sleep. Body feels heavy. Hope today was better. Thanks for the encouragement ....always!!

    Climbing at the new venue was quite stressful – the routes are all slightly longer and fewer easy ones for scaredy-cats like me. On the positive side, lots of opportunity to improve my fitness. Would definitely benefit from some technique sessions some time soon.

    @RunStart34 I've been on a sleep deficit all week, so that is definitely adding to this. Have an amazing vacation!

    @kellyswimmer 🤣 I can't believe that worked! I will go have a stern talk with my scale too. But glad you saw progress!

    @SofaKween Impressed with your facing your fears and trying new climbing routes! Congrats on the continued progress! ✨

    @tmbg1 Our scale batteries die only when we don't have replacement batteries in the house. It's like it knows. :D

    @Plasicage Watermelon is awesome, because it stays so well in the fridge and lasts a long time. And you can have so much of it. Some are sweeter than others; but it's so good and so filling.

    @HappyDonkey75 So good to see your continued progress! We too have family coming into town this weekend. Trying not to stress on it all. Hang in there.

    Have a great Thursday, everyone!

    I have not exercised as heavily this week. My sciatica is really flared up but did get a pretty good sleep last night. or atleast I felt like I did. Woke up really groggy and felt like I could have slept another hour!

    I will do a concerted workout tonight.

    Definitely fighting the hungries today. Part of that may be because I had two gin &tonics' last night
    (diet tonic and mostly tonic water, barely any gin, and lots of lime and cucumber)

    Jan 1, Feb 1 193 sw
    Mar 1 194
    Apr 192
    May 194
    June sw 194 go 190

    June 1 194
    June 7 196 ugh. Zero clue there unless it’s from ovulating two days ago. I can tell I’m bloated. I need to push myself to be more active after work. So easy to make supper then sit and relax and not do much else for the day.
    June 10 196. Sucks but I’m ok with it since we did eat out Friday and Saturday (anniversary) and had a couple drinks. Now to push water and workout this week.
    June 14 196 idk even know how I climbed to this number and now it won’t go away. Ugh. Going out of town this weekend so will try and be conscious of my food (and mommy drink) choices.

    Heaviest Weight: 210 | END OF MONTH Goal Weight below 200 | Ultimate Goal Weight: 165

    June1 201.6- I might have this wrong, it might have been 202.6? I scaled and then didn’t write it down right away
    June 2 202.6
    June 3 202.0
    June 4 202.8
    June 5- 200.7 ( weighed twice to make sure)
    June 6 203.1
    Jun 7-201.9
    June 8 DNW
    June 9 DNW- huge hike over 6 miles with hills- very challenging physically for my current fitness level
    June 10- *202.8
    June 11-200.7
    June 12- 200.1
    June 13- 200.8
    June 14- 199.6
    * this is surprising. I did have some steak last night and fried potatoes. A bit heavier dinner than I have had lately but felt like I needed it.

    First time I have been below 200 in probably two years or so??? so this was a nice number to see. At the same time, I am a data person and as I look at my weight lost since I started in March and April, its been a slower process than I wanted. I know everyone says slow is sustainable but May was a big month for loss, First part of June I haven't dropped anything really. All I did was just bounce up and down... So while I am glad to see the scale move today, I definitely want to try to figure out how to replicate the progress I made in May. Need a weight loss miracle!!!!

    Honestly , it make me nervous because I know the trick will be to stay below that 200 and not bounce back up.. (or get discouraged when it does given my tendency)

    Family arriving in town today. Dinner out tonight.. Going to stay the course, order a nice salad .

    have a great Friday everyone . Off to do my workout...

    Came to conclusion that I must cut out sweets not just for the weight loss, but because they make me sleepy afterwards! Cut out half sugar last night and felt much less tired, managed to run 10k. This will be hard. I do consume sugar replacements in moderation too.
