    Happy Sunday, everyone!

    I may have spoken too soon about my plateau being over. :neutral:

    After a few days in the 203s I popped back up again as high as 205.9 midweek.

    The week's average only dropped by 1/10 of a pound. I'll take it - it beats a gain.

    For some reason my ticker isn't updating. Is anyone else having that issue? It has been stuck on 27 lbs lost for about a month now. Even when my weight is up to date (and greater than a 28 lb. loss), the ticker has remained unchanged. I can use all the encouragement I can get LOL!

    The weather is finally warming up here and I felt a bit puffy for a few days, probably my body getting used to not being cold anymore. I live in the South, it's not 'cold' by most folks' standards, but it has been a cooler than usual spring and even my garden is put off by it.

    Warmer weather means more outdoor activity, so we've been out fishing and stuff. It's nice to be outside before it gets super hot. I love summer, even the heat, but it's really nice to be comfortable. Not hot, not cold. Loving it while it lasts.

    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.

    Weekly averages:
    April 23rd to April 29th: 204.7
    April 30th to May 6th: 204.6

    Loss for May: 0.1 lbs.

    MFP Loss: 28.4 lbs.

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 38.4 lbs.

    Not a bad week. I feel like I am still adjusting to recent changes in goal (just .5/week) and change in exercise. It seems like Garmin and MFP are asking me to eat a lot more calories than before on the adjustment. And I am hiking in the hills. So yesterday, I hiked 6+ miles in 3 hrs and Garmin suggested 1159 additional calories. I did not eat 2900 calories for the day, just over 2200. And I felt fine. And trying to track .5 lbs in a week with all the normal ups/downs of weight...well, it is just not precise.

    Doing just fine!

    Second update! Loss is a bit steep right now but I'm trying to overhaul both what I eat and how I think about food, so adjustments will slow down later in the month I expect.

    So impressed with the community here by the way -- so many strong people supporting each other!
