I feel that my biggest struggle is getting discouraged when I see the scale go up a pound or two. It can have the tendency to send me on a downward spiral. That's why I try not to weigh too much but I do weigh more than once a week for accountability purposes (ie, weigh-in day I have a cheat meal ... or cheat day, thinking that I have a week to "burn it off". Since I know that I work like that, I try to weigh every few days. August I lost and re-gained the same 5 lbs and I let it get to me mentally. I've started working out a little bit and I'm hoping that will help with stress, sleep, etc. So we'll see how it goes...

Struggles or successes of your week:
Weighed last on Saturday; my calculated loss should be lower so I'm assuming my last weigh in was light. I'll likely weigh in again on Saturday to double check, because I've grown increasingly anxious to hit 100 lbs. lost.

Success or Struggles of the week: Still gaining weight from the plasmapheresis this past week. August was a roller coaster for me from a medical and stress perspective, but the treatments have been worth it, I'm able to walk my dog, take stairs, go shopping, etc again. In fact I'm feeling the best I have in the past three years!!

I'm hoping for a giant "WOOSH" to lose the 11 pounds gained from the treatments this past two weeks. My plan for the weekend is to batch cook and re-stock my freezer with prepped on-plan meals, in case I tank again as the effects of the treatments wear off.

I wasn't sure what to put for my goal weight-- 17 pounds seems overly ambitious, but it's only 7 pounds from my lowest in August, and I can exercise a bit so I might hit the 2-3 pounds a week pace I had in June and the start of July. We shall see!
