    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.

    Spring comes early here in Tennessee, and I'm definitely going to be taking advantage of the warmer weather fore sure!

    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).

    Not going to lie - the last 3 days I ate pretty bad (like not a lot above my recommended calorie intake according to Fitbit, just not healthy) so I'm sure it's going to catch up to me :/ Will also try to be a bit more active this week as I'm mostly sitting in bed/at my desk because of exams right now.

    I'm a little disappointed, I was hoping for a bigger loss. I think part of it is not getting enough sleep, but with an infant I can't really do anything about it!

    This past week was a crappy week for me emotionally but I am super proud of myself for sticking with my plan to track all my food (even the chocolate) and add in more activity. I exercised EVERY DAY last week! I have discovered a new exercise that is working for me. I love to read in the evenings and now I am doing it on my stationary bike while I pedal! My ipad fits between my handlebars and I pedal and read! Also, tracking my food and exercise motivates me to pedal if I am going to go over my daily calories.
    Jan 2nd - 176
    Jan 7th - 173.8
    Jan 14th - 174.0 (could not believe it went up!)
    Jan 15th - 172.2 (down 3.8 pounds)
    I was feeling a little bummed that my weight actually went up this week, but when I weighed in this morning, I was down again! I have also lost 3.8 inches on my body this month! So, remodeling at the same time as I am gradually losing.
