5/08 / 259.0 / Here we go! I was so down about my last round that I decided to see how much I'd stalled out in my weight loss over the entirety of this attempt (from Jan. 16th). I thought, surely, with the time I spent out of state, my mother's death, and this past round I must be at least 5 pounds behind my "two pounds a week" goal. Shocker. No. I am still ahead, having lost more than two pounds a week on average. I know weight loss starts with water weight but it helped put the wind back in my sails.
5/09 / 258.0 / I have never really looked at my macros. I just count calories. By coincidence, my fat calories were high, protein was just below target and carbs were way low. You Keto people know where I’m going with this, right? I.Wasn’t.Hungry.

@MadisonMolly2017
You're welcome! I needed to remind myself, too. My brain tells me that I looked better the last time I got this close. It's trying not to let me enjoy what's been a pretty amazing run.
Screw you, brain!1 -
I didn't realize until a few minutes ago that I'm more than 50 lbs down from my heaviest weight (January 2015). When I see 190 again, my weight will be lower than it's been since high school. Life is working, and I'm just going to take another moment to thank everyone here for everything. This place has allowed me to sit with whatever it is that's been bothering me. It's given me space to really examine how I've been living my life, especially the pattern(s) that have been derailing me from previous success. I feel so much more prepared to deal with life than I was a few months ago, and this group has everything to do with that. I'm blessed to have you in my life, and I love each and every one of you.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/8 = 194.0 (-0 2). I finally went shopping on Sunday night, and I actually food prepped last night. I made a sausage and pepper soup (delicious) and a bacon frittata (also delicious). Tonight I'm getting some new cookware that I need in order to finish my food prep: a chicken casserole thingy. Lots of work getting it done, but it felt good. And it's great not having to stress about where I'm getting my next meal. And it tastes good!!! 4 more days until I can resume basketball/lifting weights, but I might cheat a couple of days early and play Thursday.
5/9 = 194.2 (+0.2). I stayed "on plan" last night, but impulsively had another serving of dinner. And then a little bit of dark chocolate. I was on-target with carbs, but over everywhere else. Snacked a bit to much during the day, which left me with very little wiggle room at the end of the night. I really wasn't hungry; it was impulsive. Moment noted. I'm not going to dwell. My tattoo is looking/feeling pretty healed. I'm going to take a pic of it, send it to my artist, and ask for permission to play basketball tomorrow. Focusing on avoiding snacking when I'm not hungry today.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/08 - 205.2 - Ah yes, the Tuesday morning drop. Was good on water yesterday. Calories were set to be on target but I could not resist the bag of oreos. I had 2, then wanted to eat more, so I had 2 more. Logged it and moved on. I was exhausted from a super busy weekend and crashed early. I was a little disheartened this morning at the thought of eating the same lunch yet again. So, I'll be brainstorming some new lunch and snack ideas so I don't stumble back to fast foods. Dinners have not changed too much other than subbing out refined carbs for better grain choices; low carb multi grain tortillas, quinoa, etc. Tonight I'll make a big batch of thai quinoa salad and DH will grill a few pounds of chicken and sausage so we have a few days lunches as well. Scales may not move tomorrow but I suspect if I'm good on hydration there should be a downward trend toward the end of the week. Remember, slow steady loss is good! Don't get ahead of yourself, just one day at a time. Possible mini vaca to visit dad in FL with DH in June, so that is more motivation to stick to my June goal.
5/09 - 204.4 - I was SO dehydrated this morning and I'm not sure what happened - I was good on water throughout the day and ate well. But alas, I woke up with a headache, yellower than normal 1st morning pee, and was not expecting that number. I already feel better after a few glasses of water. Strange. Anyway - Florida visit is a definite now, so I need a bathing suit. And its just a little bit more incentive to stick to the plan. Thai quinoa salad last night was amazing and I'm looking forward to lunch today! I'm looking forward to my future in general too - and that is a great feeling!

@mz144
Try my scale trick. Weigh yourself tonight, fully clothed, preferably after dinner and before you go to the bathroom. Be the heaviest you're going to be that day.
Then weigh yourself as normal in the morning.4 -
Age 60, 5'4" and eating in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet. I eat back exercise calories, or I would be starving and cranky. Hubby does not like cranky me. Changed MFP setting 5/5/18 to 1/2# per week loss ~ within 10# of UGW, weight loss was stalled 3 months + was feeling hungry more often.
MFP SW 195 ~ Goals: #1 = 150 / #2 = 145 [normal BMI] / #3 = maintain 140 - 145 / no goal dates ~ I get there when I get there
Thrilled with my 2/15/18 annual physical: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14
My digital scale only has 1/2# increments, and I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. Weigh first thing in morning / comments reflect prior day.

This is my first round. I Started dieting last may lost 22 kg before desember. Then I stopped logging. Didnt gain before easter. And then I guess I just thought hey I have masterd this I can just eat without thinking because now I know what is enough. But I guess I was thinking more about what I was eating before easter because 5 kg jumped on so I am back to logging.

5/08 - 220.2 - Last week I was at 215.4 and I know a 5lb gain of fat is quite literally impossible. I had WAY too much fun over the weekend and it is definitely reflected on the scale today.
5/09 - 218.8 - Did good yesterday. Had a piece of homemade cheesecake BUT it fit into my calorie allowance, so it's all good in the hood.
