    this week was hard due to lots of schedule changes...hard to have set meals...however, doing the food diary every day has trained me to think in advance about how many calories/ how much sugar, fat, etc. I might be eating even if I cannot write it down immediately. That lead to having not very balanced eating days when I had lots of meetings, but the calorie total was still in the green zone. Then important part about that was that I was craving a balanced meal after snacking quickly between meetings...so, I see that the right balance of carbs/proteins/ sugar, etc. always makes a difference in how I feel..

    I hope everyone's journey is going well, full of being good to yourself and taking the baby steps every day!

    Didn't lose anything this week due to coping with stress (requiring lots of sugary goods...). Still okay for me, as long as I didn't gain :)

    gained again, and I'm not sure why. I'm going to try to be stricter with my eating and I changed up my workouts.

    Happy Sunday, everyone!

    Stuck again. Seems these days I am more stuck than unstuck. I am tweaking my eating a bit to try to get moving again.

    In this cold weather I am not as active either and that certainly makes a difference. Luckily, spring comes early in Georgia, so hopefully I will be outside doing yard work, going camping, fishing and kayaking soon.

    I am also approaching the weight I got stuck at last time around. 18 years ago I lost 52 lbs and kept most of it off for 13 years. I got stuck at 202. I flirted a time or two with 195, then popped up again to 202 and was never able to go lower.

    Seems my body likes this number. I don't. I am sure there is a psychological component to breaking this barrier, but it feels like there is a physiological one too. I guess we shall see if I can conquer it this time.

    Daily weight today was 206 after bouncing around the 207s all week. Maybe next week will show a loss.

    Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

    Lowest since 1999: 195.

    Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

    MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

    Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

    December 25th to December 31st: 206.9
    January 1st to January 7th: 207.2
    January 8th to January 14th: 207.2

    Loss for January: 0.3 GAIN

    MFP Loss: 25.8

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 35.8 lbs.

    Until next week...

    Move more, eat less.

    Is it alright if I join a bit late? I know it’s a bit silly to think I’ll accomplish anything in a short amount of time but this challenge might be what I need to really kick me in the butt and get those last few pounds down! I’ve been cheating a lot lately and it’s a miracle I haven’t gained weight from it (yet).
