    1/4 - 148.8
    I'm getting a bit frustrated. I've cut my carbs back to 20-30% and calories to 1400-1500, and I'm walking 30-60 min/day. No idea why it's so slow, other than I was 145-150 for years way back when.


    Are you getting closer to your ideal body weight?

    That depends on whose idea of ideal I use, but I would be giddy with 135 and happy with 140, so yes, I'm close. I'm sure that's part of it, but I thought almost a year of eating more calories to reset my metabolism would make these last 10 or so pounds less grueling. Sigh. Otoh, it beats gaining!

    One of my resolutions this year was to read more books, so last night, after not stepping foot in a library for over a year, I went to the library and took out some books. Now I just have to start reading them :smile:

    Have you tried audiobooks? I felt like I had lost part of myself when my boys were younger and I just didn't have time to sit down with a book for fear of someone burning down the house. A friend recommended audiobooks and I haven't looked back. They're older now but I still use them so I can multitask while im cleaning, driving, I even have days where I'm totally on my own at work I can listen. I get through up to 6 books a month.
    I have an Audible subscription but can also sign download books from the library.

    I have Audible as well, but there's something about curling up in bed, especially during the winter, with a good book in my hand. I only use audiobooks when I exercise outside. I find it helps me exercise more because even when the weather isn't that great I know that I can only listen to the book if I do exercise.

    1/3: 136.0
    1/4: 134.0- yesterday I made healthy burritos and overate them. Defeats the purpose but making the effort is progress for me so that’s a start on the right track, and this is how I did it last time. Still can’t exercise because I have a sprained ankle but at least my arms are getting buff from crutches.
    1/5: 135.4-mergh. Damn fried shrimp. It’s like I know I’m doing wrong but I just don’t care in the moment. I need to get my impulses under control.

    12/29….162
    12/30….161
    12/31….161
    1/1….163…. celebrations are done…..now to start over and start eating clean again, start tracking again, and start some type of exercise. After I lost 10 pounds after I joined MFP on January 1st last year I was able to keep it off until recently. Need to get back to my original and want to lose another 10 and keep it off…..of course more weight would be great but I want to maintain it and change my lifestyle more permanently so that I don’t keep having to lose the same pounds over and over again!!
    1/2 …..162 Back to work for me today.
    1/3…….162
    1/4 ……162
    1/5….162

    A New Year's gift from my scale, completely undeserved. I was 158.5 on 12/28 so I'm not too proud of the last few days. I'm not through with the risky season because my birthday is coming up, but although I've been overeating at least I'm more or less maintaining. Thanks for the shout-out and nudge quiltingjaine I don't really have treats at home, it's at work that I do the most damage. Then I come home and overeat things like Ezekiel bread and almond cheese, lol.
    01/02: Forgot to weigh
    Oops. Having a good day, though.
    01/03: 158.5
    Rewarded for two days of eating better. Went over calories a bit today, though. 3rd day no added sugar.

    01/04: 158.5
    Holding steady. Doing well with food, not so much with exercise.

    I was doing poorly with exercise too since October when Mom was put into the hospital. I started biking again 2 days ago since her passing. It was a wonderful feeling.
