Sunday is my weigh in day but I couldn't resist. I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down to 169. I'll update on Sunday. Wow CI/CO really does work. I ate Oreo cookies, chocolate chip, bacon, granola, sausage, rice, pizza, eggs, bread and had wine and haagen-daaz ice cream this week. I tried to maintain my caloric intake between1490-1500 per day. I was not expecting any drop. I did increase my daily steps this week to 13,000- 15,000 steps/day. My Garmin Vivofit band showed that I was burning 2000 calories or more per day which includes my BMR. Honestly, I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Not bad so far. 2 more weeks to go I might make it to 5lbs. When it gets warm outside I plan to add weight lifting. I hate the gym but I'm okay with going there just for resistance training. I'll continue to get my cardio by walking and counting steps8 -

This was week four of my latest go round with MFP. This is the longest I have logged and stayed with it! Although I barely lost, I count it as a victory that I didn't go off the rails given that three of the seven days I completely went over my calories by large amounts!
Next week, I start working out with a trainer. Looking forward to it!7 -

Happy Sunday! Checking in!

I predicted that after a big drop last week, I wouldn't move this week. I am fine with that. I may even be stuck for another week. That is OK, that is how my body works. Slow and steady wins the race...although it isn't a race.
My body likes to cling to the weight as long as it can, then tends to shed a bunch, rather than letting a little bit go at a steady rate.
I must say that I pop in here a couple of times during the week and I enjoy reading everyone's posts.
NSV: I was given a new bum-bag for Christmas, for my fishing gear. I adjusted the waistband when I received it. I went fishing yesterday and the bag hung around my hips. I need to tighten it!
February goal: 217.
Ultimate goal:180. I haven't seen that number in 3 decades. Keep me accountable.
Move more. Eat less.8 -
Random thought for people who only step on the scale once a week. It is one snapshot for one moment, and may not reflect a completely accurate picture.
If you ate something salty the day before, you might be retaining more water than usual, etc.
I learned a long time ago, that weighing daily, or even a few times a week, and looking at the weekly average, gives a more accurate picture.
It makes the occasional higher number not so scary if the weekly average is going down. And if the average is going up, it is time to reevaluate the program.
I used to keep a spreadsheet. Now my Vivofit does it for me. Averages are a very useful tool for those who are OK with weighing more than once a week.

I'm 3 lbs from my February goal. It's doable, but we'll see what happens. Right now, I'm just excited to be 185.4 lbs. I've been bouncing around 187-188 lbs for the last three weeks due to me overeating. It's nice to be back on track again finally. I'm looking forward to next month already when I should get under 180 lbs and out of the obese category!

No weight loss this week is a big dissappointment, but to be totally honest I was not as good as I have been. I let my niece talk me into sharing a slice of cheesecake a la mode before going to see a movie with her on Thursday night and we went out to eat onnthe weekend. Though I had only one dinner role plus a salad with light dressing and no cheese or egg, at Texas roadhouse, I totally over did it with the peanuts and yesterday we ordered Pizza Hut and I had 3 slices6 -

Really kinda wish this would fall off just a little faster. At this rate, I may just barely meet my 5 lb mark for the month!
Good luck this week everyone! Stay strong!

I've really been having a hard time losing weight. I'm constantly yoyoing between 165 and 180 for years now! It's time for me to get serious.
