      Start: 1/1/2017

      Start weight: 161
      Goal weight: 120
      Current weight: 130
      This week's weight change: -.4
      Total weight loss: 31

      Two weeks since I logged in and I'm happy to see a loss. We were spared with minimal hurricane damage and spent a couple days clearing downed trees. Then a trip to see kids and grandkids. Now back to normal for 5 weeks till the next trip.

      Managed to keep my intake under control for the most part. I have a weakness for baked goods and anything peanut butter. That bag of peanut butter cups disappeared quickly.

      DH has continued to drop pounds with me so I surprised him with a new tux for his birthday. He was so excited he now wants to go shopping with me for a nice evening dress. Plus I tried on all of mine and they are now too big!

      With the mornings cooler now we will start bike riding again.

      Week 38

      Starting weight: 226.4
      Goal weight: 175
      Last week weight: 196.0
      This week weight: 191.6
      This week loss: 4.4
      Total weight lost: 34.8

      This weeks successes:
      Well, obviously weight wise it has been a sucessfull week. The reason for the big drop was loss of fluid retention mostly. I had been eating more carbs than usual, I had been working outdoors a lot and I had not been drinking as much water as I should have. This week I have eaten up to my calories all week, exercised and watched what I ate and drank better: more water, vegetables, and fruit; less chocolate and other carb loaded food.

      I wanted to be at 38 or more pounds lost this week. I am tempted to go low for a few weeks and get back to my weight loss equaling the number of weeks. However I am afraid I will not be sucessfull if I try that and that the process will have negative consqeuences. I have been eating my exercise calories. This week I did not. I may just cut into those calories for a bit as long as I am not overtired. Eat back some but not as much.

      It all focuses around control. I have to keep wresting control back from events - like broken horses during solar eclipse weekends, hurricanes, and work drama. It is worth the fight every time because I have lost 35 pounds this year. I am on my way to losing 52 pounds in a year. I feel so much better and I do so much more.

      • 10K steps a day

      @JetWan, you are doing extremely well. Keep up the good work! You are my motivator. I have never given this compliment to anyone since I have been on MFP since 8/12. Just 13lbs from my goal. I hope to be on maintenance by Dec13, which is my birthday.
