    Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

    Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

    09/10-DNW-(Trend Weight: DNW)- Traveling and no scale at hotel. Have a great week everyone!

    09/17-193.8-(Trend Weight: 192.2)- The scale is up still from last week’s travel. 2 more days of travel this week and then September should slow down. At home in my “safe zone” days are going well. It’s the travel, the lack of movement, the restaurants when out of town that are biting me in my rear. Clearly I need to finally learn how to handle these situations better. Even with the travel, next weeks weight should be improved. I absolutely cannot let this scale go any higher!

    My name is Nikki, and I'm 5'4" (on a good day!). I'm based on the south coast in the UK. I'm in my 50s and work full time as a teacher. I'm pretty active - but there's always room for some more. A friend reminded me of MFP - and seeing that my weight is creeping up, I thought I would give it go...again! My aims are to walk at least 10,000 steps a day and to reduce my carbohydrate intake.

    My CW (15 Aug) is 148
    My GW is 133
    My UGW is 126 - although that is very optimistic!

    I weigh in on Thursdays.

    08 Aug - 150
    15 Aug - 148 (-2lb)
    22 Aug - 145.4 B) - it has been a good week! (-2.6lb)
    I have been mindful of how many starchy carbohydrates I eat and trying to eat less - this seems to be working well. I have been tracking my meals and exercising more - using every excuse to walk a few more steps. Does anyone have any recommendations on upping the amount of protein?
    29 Aug - 147 - not such a good week! :'( (+1.6lb)
    I have been tracking, but it looks like I need to keep an eye on what I am eating at lunch times - if I eat more at lunch then have a big dinner, it doesn't work well on the scales. Unfortunately, we had some gorgeous bread and cheese for lunch - and I ended up eating lots! I did lots of walking, and body combat classes, but this isn't enough! I'm now back at work, so hopefully being busy will help to keep me focused.
    05 Sept -145.6 (-1.4lb)
    I have been tracking which is easier now that I am back at work and I'm so busy that I can't hear the call of chocolate or the chance to rummage in food cupboards! I've been eating fewer starchy carbs at lunch which seems to work well. It would be nice to get into the 130s!!!
    12 Sept - 144.6 (-1.0lb)
    I've carried on tracking and I have been as honest as I can - which makes a change! I've also not eating starchy carbs at lunch time, which works when looking at the bathroom scales. Still a long way to go though! I did eat out tonight and had some lovely garlic bread - so the scales may not be so kind tomorrow!! ;)
    19 Sept - 144.2 (-0.4lb)
    Not much of a change, but I won't complain! I'm starting to get tired as term as the days are getting shorter and the children are starting to get fretful at school, and I'm noticing that I am looking for any excuse to have some cheeky starchy carbs at lunchtime. But, noticing this means I can try to do something about it. Why is it sooooo hard to lose weight, whilst it is even easier to put it on?!
