Not too concerned with a .2 gain. Could be salt?poop?muscle water rentention . I will maintain my consistent eating within my macros and no grazing or BLTs ( bites licks and tastes) it all counts!!
Happy and healthy Sunday everyone
keep tracking.
Choose the healthier option today 1 -
9/18-139.8 yea! Been waiting to see that!!! Under on fat yesterday.... Work on that today.
@Micheal- looks like we are in the same happy place today! Let's bust out this next ten! We can,2 -
You guys are doing awesome! @jtkatch I have been looking for a term for what you called BLTs...I love that name, the worst for me is when I do after dinner clean-up and the kids have left food on the plate, sometimes it goes to the trash where it belongs, sometimes it goes in my mouth.
@frankiesgirl21 Yes! You are rocking it and I am doing good and feeling so much better than I did a week ago, let's keep busting it!
September 19 - 216.0 lbs. (-3.5 lbs.)1 -
15/09 - 95.8kg (+0.1kg from yesterday)
16/09 - N/A
17/09 - N/A
18/09 - N/A
19/09 - 95.2kg (-0.6kg from Thursday)
Oh dear...I didn't have a very good weekend, and I didn't even step on the scales! I'm expecting to go up for a few days now but hopefully getting back to seeing my daily numbers means I can do some damage control!Keep going! I am up and Dow 1 lb almost everyday depending on water retention! But keep logging ! Try and pre log (pre plan you meals) have the same meal (hopefully that fits into your macros and make 2 portions) we are all in the same boat and we are here to motivate and encourage each other.
Drink plenty of water today...:)
Thank you...I guess I did give in to feeling sorry for myself and ate quite badly over the weekend, but I've pre planned my meals for the whole week and I don't have anything in the house that can tempt me too badly.
thanks for the support!

@SCOTSLASS- Pre planned meals and no temptations in the house! Way to fight back girl!! You can do this!!!
9/19-139.4 Successful weekend!
We're rolling now, Crew!!
@Michael, just tell yourself your kids didn't wash up before dinner....LOL...Keep it up!!1 -
Tuesday, 9/13 143.2 (remember the happy dance?!)
Wednesday, 9/14 Somehow I didn't weigh. Wait, what?
Thursday, 9/15 143.3 (IT STUCK!!!!)
Friday through Monday - fluctuated between 143.7 and 144.4. Getting ready for that hormonal time, so I suspect it will stay up for the next few days to a week. Then I'm hoping for a 142-point-something.

Thank you Michael. You are right. Trying to stay positive, motivated and trying to figure out what's working. Weighing in every day does help to be accountable. But it can also give false sense of expected results. We say NO a 1000x a day and expect to be rewarded by the number on the scale. We think what worked yesterday should work today. But like you said one must remain consistent - see longer term trends.
Challenge today!!!! OMG2 -

Yes you are right!! Time to go clothes shopping!!!! LOL....not yet....still want to lose before I buy clothing.
It's very funny how weight loss changes ones mood. I am happier, more patient, and basically more pleasant to be around. More "fun" as my kids put it. We shouldn't base ourselves according to a number but it's hard to detach.
Thank you Michael2 -

I like the running list, so I created one. And then I decided to create a graph to see the downward trend more easily. Lo and behold, there it is!
When you only have a couple of pounds left to lose, the slow speed can be frustrating, but this is very motivating!

Interesting weight gain. Mother Nature is gone. Ate within my calories and macros. Exercised. Water retention in the muscles? Natural fluctuations we have to accept. Look at the the long term trend. I am still motivated!!
Happy and healthy logging everyone2 -
9/21- 138.8
Still heading in the right direction!
@JTKATCH- If I don't get the proper rest at night I carry the muscle water retention the next day. Due to the increased activity, I am finding it harder to sleep as well some nights. Last night my bursitis was flaring and I took Advil Pm before bed. Went to bed early and slept like a rock. Scales looked good this morning and I feel great. I think reparation time is as important sometimes as the CICO.
YEA MICHEAL!! I am sooo happy for you!
I love this thread. Between the step it up challenge and here, my motivation has never been higher and my results have never been better! Thanks Guys!!!!

I weigh in daily but when I am down I stop. then I eventually face my self denying behavior and pick my focus back up. I am not giving up on my goal. I would like to be 250 in January. That is my short term goal. I dropped down to 1200 kcal s weight training 3x week full body 5 sets in a reverse pyramid and swimming 30 min and HIIIT in the water for 30 min. 45 seconds on 15 seconds off. I am trying to share my journey with "the right people". As I am unfortunately rather easily hurt by thoughtless and mean spirited comments. I have two injured knees and can only do water activities for cardiovascular routine. I love the water and try to be self kind in my swimsuit. I try to give myself atta girls and keep support people in place. I am using Pam now to cook and giving up on my beloved olive oil and butter. Wish me luck friends in the same journey.I deserve a healthy lifestyle, because I am beautiful in the heart and mind and it's time my physical self reflects my inner self.2 -
Sorry for the delay! Real life kept me form officially jumping into this party.
9/17 - 263

9/21 - 261 (finally broke my mini plateau! Expecting a gain tomorrow as that was a lot to drop suddenly.)2 -

Not sure on the actual distance but Fitbit steps are around the 20,000 mark so that's an extra 6,000 ish every day and it takes me 45 mins to walk to work (I'm a slow walkers lol so probably 30 mins for most people) so I'm doing an extra 90 mins of walking in total 4 -
Will be out of town 2 day celebration of anniversary (16 years!) Planning to eat well while eating out, will be a challenge.
@thinmarjo we all wish you luck, congratulations on what you have already accomplished, we look forward to seeing your continuing progress!
September 22 - 213.5 (-0.5)1 -
Anyone know how to rename a thread? I'd like to delete the September and just keep it going.1
