Not happy to see the scale go up. Had a big 3day event at work and ate more than I should have. Need to buckle down if I'm going to make my goal'9 -

Happy Sunday, everyone!
FINALLY!!! Things are moving in the right direction again!
Toward the end of the week, I finally saw a new daily low of 212.3.
I had been stuck since my vacation at the end of June/beginning of July. Right before vacay I saw a new daily low of 213.9. I gained on vacation (predictably), and it took 3 weeks to lose what I gained in 9 days. Then I was stuck, and stuck and still stuck in the 214-215 numbers for weeks.
Friday I whooshed right to 213, Saturday to 212.3. I am 213.8 today, not surprised there I went to a party last night and I am a bit puffy today. Hopefully I am leaving 214 in the rear-view mirror.
I hope the downward trend continues for a bit before the next stall.
I am now at a 4-year low. I will take little victories where I can!
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1999: 195.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

Back again - am supposedly in maintenance but because of poor food choices have been in a cycle for the last 2 months, of gain weight for 3 weeks then lose for 1. The numbers are starting to creep back.
Okay today is the 1yr anniversary of starting this weight loss trip, have decided to start again today. I will take back control of my eating and go back to climbing stairs.
This time the goal is to get to 50kg by the anniversary of joining MFP - Hopefully the last bit put on should move fairly quickly.
