    Today is a great reminder of the difference a day makes. I weigh myself daily because it keeps me honest throughout the week and I understand the daily ups and downs and the whys. However, I occasionally hit a place where I weigh about the same for a number of days (in this case, about a week and a half) and it makes little sense except that my body is doing internal "body" stuff that I don't know about. Anyway, after this current period at almost the exact same weight AND doing nothing particularly different yesterday, I woke up this morning and the number had dropped by a pound! :o:smiley:

    A great reminder to stay the course. Your body, and the scales, will respond accordingly, in time!!! Patience is a virtue in this marathon!! Thanks for sharing!!

    Hi team! Happy to report that I am feeling better and ready to be back in the land of the living.
    The last few days all that has sounded appetizing is carbs.. oatmeal, bagels, toast, etc. so I was not expecting the scale to be friendly, but it was! Nice surprise.

    tracking: yes
    calories: No :( I feel myself slipping again and I just have to remind myself that I can do it, just find the healthy foods I like and eat more of that, while still allowing myself the treats without going overboard. I definitely also need to get a food scale.
    Exercise: Yes. 30 minutes of stretching for warm up and cool down, and then 20 minutes of combo strength moves that were fast enough to get my heart rate up and sweat to pour.

    Well...exercise hasn't really happened this week. Between watching the Olympics and the 2 assignments I had due for my accounting courses I failed to fit in the time. Next week..Olympics are over next week. ;)

    Bummed...I was under calories a few days this week and never over. I think lack of sleep is affecting my weight loss.

    I agree about the sleep.
    Great job maintaining your tracking and calories while completing assignments!

    I have a very bad flue, stepping on the scale seems as difficult as climbing Everest. I have been running every day, but eating more calories. Today I could drink only water, but I don't think I lost anything since last week.

    We hope you feel better, very, very soon! I will just carry your weight over from last week.

    You don't have a food scale yet? Yes, you must definitely get one. You don't have to spend a ton of money either. Nice exercise choices....you seem to be getting your heart rate up and working your muscles at the same time!!

    Good news.... February is almost over!! I think it's the first week you've gained, though. Just a slight blip, nothing permanent. You'll bounce back!

    Oh my gosh, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have been watching too much late night Olympics (and been disappointed far too often) and not getting my sleep either! You didn't gain and you got your course work in...so, not bad at all!
