01/19 - 145.9
01/20 - 145.5 Had a party last night so I'm happy to see this!
01/21 - 144.9 Started weighing in de morning for more consistency, so lower was to be expected. Still keeping under my caloriegoal though and did a good workout today
01/22 - 144.1 This is going better than I thought, eating healthy and working out makes such a difference vs binge eating every day. Wonder if I can keep it up though.
01/23 - 144.8 Went out for dinner last night and ate a lot. Today's been full of carbs also, so I'll try to do a workout tonight.
01/24 - 144.4 Workout and water paying off, need to stay on track.

I'm back. Let's see if I can get down to 160 at least even though my "new" low is 158. The slower it comes off the more likely it will stay off. I just lost a lot very fast due to having the flu and sinus issues. Good luck ladies and gents.

GW: 160

1/18: 160.4 I haven't been drinking very well lately, and I expect this number to be up tomorrow, but I'm hoping I'm wrong. Lol
1/19: 160.4 Wow! I'm maintaining, but I've been in the 160's since November. I'm over it. Lol
1/20: 162 Too much sodium and not enough water I believe, but since I've been fluctuating between 3 lbs forever. Who knows.
1/21 163.6 I haven't seen this number in a long time, but I'll be honest with myself here. I ate whatever I wanted for dinner. High calories. Lots of carbs. Lots of sodium. It was family movie night. I positively hate seeing that number, but I so enjoyed my meal.
1/22 161.4 I pushed fluids yesterday and went back to my normal diet. I also biked for 30 minutes. I have 5 more days to see that 160. Let's do this!
1/23 161.2 I pushed fluids yesterday, ate well, and put in more steps than I have been for awhile now. It's not a big loss, but I'll take it.
1/24 161.6 Not going to lie peeps. I'm starting to get really frustrated. I'm eating well and within my calories. I'm drinking between 50 to 60 oz of fluid. I started walking more and even got back on my exercise bike. I totally don't get it. Also, my 9-year-old has a fever of 101. Boo! I was up every 2 hours checking on him, and then, we had freezing rain. My school district has another snow day, and so does his because of it. Now, I can just be Mommy today. That's a plus.

Looking for another ✔️
Keep it up everyone..... We can do this, one 10 days at a time!!

01/18 - 155.0 ... YAY!!
01/19 - 154.5 ... 1515 calories/ 16,910 steps/ 8h 14m sleep.
1/20 - 153.9 ✔️... But will it stay. Have afternoon tea planned for Sunday. Hope to get a good walk in but looks like lots of rain and I’m getting my hair done!!
1/21 - 153.9 ... 1750 calories/ 29,480 steps
1/22 - 153.9 ... 1570 calories/ 21,030 steps. Went for Tea and had a nice rainy walk. Hard to calculate the calories consumed at Tea, but looks to be ok. Trying to balance calories and TDEE. Don't want to lose too fast, but I don't want to stall either.
1/23 - 154 ... 1573 calories/ 16,000 steps. I was so hungry yesterday, maybe because I ate early. Parents anniversary dinner tonight. Hope to get steps in.

1/24 - 155.2 ... Calories too many/ 11,450 steps. Parents anniversary dinner. Great evening!! Hope to get 2 walks in today.

01/22 = 217.0
01/23 = 215.2
01/24 = 215.4. Everyone talks about it (me too), but I had an "aha moment" last night regarding our favorite villain (Na+). First, when I'm not tracking, I'm killing myself with it. That much is obvious. But more importantly, even when I'm tracking, it's SO HARD TO START AWAY FROM. My wife loves clam chowder, and bought some for dinner last night. More than 2000 mg of sodium in one serving!!! We both shop for groceries, but I had to have a "come to jeebus" moment with her about it, including an explanation of what 2300 mg looks like (one teaspoon). I've decided to take complete charge of my health. In addition to cooking more, I'm not going to eat anything without looking at the damned label, and I'm not going to eat things that are super high in Na+. On a positive note, I'm still happy with my weight progress. I have two pairs of work pants I couldn't button two weeks ago, but that I can now wear comfortably.

1/18- 134
1/19-134
1/20-135--brisk 40 min. walk, 2 birthday parties but stayed on track.
1/21-132.5- limited the salt and upped h2O yesterday. Progress!
1/22-133.0
1/23-133.0
1/24-133.0-have stayed within my calories everyday. Daily weigh-in can be discouraging and negatively affects my motivation. In the future, will post eating and exercise. Weigh first and last days only.

@nikki062181 I used to get super frustrated with my weight staying the same. Eventually I noticed a pattern - I basically stay the same for 3.5 weeks, then at the same time in my cycle every month the weight drops, I then stay the same again for 3.5 weeks. Maybe there's a pattern there that you haven't spotted yet? I found my motivation much higher once I figured that out!

01/18 - 146.8
Happy to see this as I had a bit of a pig out yesterday. Nothing all that great, just ate more than usual and went over my goals. Back on track today.

01/19 - 146.8
On track yesterday and I walked and was active packing for a move, so this is, I think, holdover from Wednesday's excesses. Going out for lunch today, but I have the day planned and I'll be on track again. Sooner or later....

01/20 - 146.8
Let's hear it for consistency! (It's better than gaining, it's better than gaining...)

01/21 - 147
Sigh. I did eat over my goal yesterday, although not by much. I was hungry. I really struggle with being hungry at night. I'm thinking of trying a bigger breakfast with lots of protein & good fat, which always holds me over most of the day, so I eat less at lunch and dinner. I'm avoiding "shoulds," so no "should not eat after dinner" for me. I just end up breaking my rule and feeling bad about it. I know I do better in terms of both hunger and weight loss on the days when I have a big breakfast or lunch and skip dinner, then eat 300 or so healthy calories later. (Thinking onscreen here ).

01/22 - 146.8
Longing for good weather & long walks. But I'm going to suck it up and go walk in circles at the mall for an hour. Beats a treadmill, I guess. Sigh.

01/23 - 146.8
My body obviously thinks its home.

01/24 - 146.8
Yep, just a homebody. However, I measured my waist this morning and I'm down 1.5 inch since Aug, so something's happening. I'm trying a new approach for the next week or so, starting today -- top-loading my daily calories with a big high-protein, high-ish fat breakfast; no lunch or very light, depending on whether I'm hungry; no dinner or very light, depending...; snack around 9 (which I always have), more carby & fatty (like my fav whole grain English muffin with peanut- or almond butter). Same calorie goal, but different distribution. Started this morning with breakfast out - steak & eggs, half cup cottage cheese, 2 pieces whole wheat toast w/butter. I'm thinking I won't be hungry for many hours! (TMI?) Thanks for letting me spell it out for myself.

01/24 Travel day, no access to scale. I am adhering to my meal plan for the duration of the trip. Also having issues that are TMI, but a normal part of dieting so I feel bloated.

01/23-143.88

Day/Weight/Comment
1/18 – loss - my win today is leaving work on time, so I had extra time to make a few different dinners for the next few days to reheat because I know I won't have time to cook for a few days. Probably way too much work for a Thursday but now I have lunches and dinners that are portioned properly and should get me through the weekend. I'm tired but satisfied and greatful for the privilege of time to get this task done.
1/19 – loss - tired.
1/20 – ? - visiting family, no scale. Two birthdays, one slice of cake and no alcohol = win
1/21 – loss - mood cycling low, new goal is to just get through this low and not use food as medication. Greatful for the people who support me.
1/22 – gain - not too bothered, focusing more on the mental, the physical will be a focus once I'm through this part. Aiming for a better tomorrow.
1/23 – gain - not impressed but in the grand scheme it's minor. Mood is getting better so I'm happy for being less low. Work is stressful ATM which likely is helping the gain and not helping the low. Staying dry which is positive, trying to find ways to decompress in healthy ways. Still aiming for a better tomorrow.
1/24 – gain - minor so whatever, better thing is the mood is getting better, so greatful for that. Still eating good, less active cause work is eating my lunch breaks but that will be a better in another week. Going to have to be patient and smart with what I can do. Also might have figured out why the scale has been difficult lately but waiting on that test result, nothing serious, just possibly different...
