    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!
    5/10 - 204.4 - Not dehydrated this morning and the number stuck around, so thats cool! Moving my office today/tomorrow/ and possibly coming in Saturday so I should have an active few days ahead of me. Parents are also finally closing on the new house (yay!) so I'm sure we will be assisting in some moving over the next few weeks. Planned a lighter lunch today - dinner for mothers day with mom and meme tonight and not sure what/where we are eating so planning for some wiggle room. Need a few things at the grocery store this evening to help keep on track. Weather is beautiful. My car was coated in pollen this morning so need to be mindful of allergies, be proactive with medicine and get some more honey at Sholan. And as always, WATER WATER WATER! I'm happy to see my goal weight for this round already. But, given past trends I expect to go up again over the weekend before dropping mid next week. This round ends on a wednesday and thats usually my lowest weigh in day, so we will see!

    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 had 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 :star:

    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.

    05/02: 154.5 Stuck with meal plans but Snacked. Too. Much. on almonds (before supper) & veggies straws (late evening). At least those snacks are out of the house. Forced myself to log (guesstimates) ~ ack! Net calories, sodium & sugar RED, fiber & protein good & 15c water. Rest day / Fitbit 9,129 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 40 floors.
    05/03: 154.0 Fitbit 7,411 steps, 250+ 12/14 (spa night) & 25 floors. Stuck with meal/snack plan except finished snappea crisps for evening snack (unplanned) ~ net calories -208, sodium -358, fiber ok, sugar green, protein good & 15c water. Close enough for unplanned rest day (overslept alarm).

No idea how to log some, used quick add... needless to say net calories, sodium & sugar all RED. 15c water anyway. Walked dog before work / 3.4 mi 59:49 pace 17:34 / happy dog & happy me. Fitbit 15,969 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 35 floors ~ hoping I can move up the leaderboard of workplace step challenge.
    05/05: 153.5 Weight machine & circuit training before work and increased my minutes slightly. Fitbit 8,226 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 (volunteer host = sitting) & 30 floors. Net calories -273, sodium & sugar red, fiber & protein good, 14c water.
    05/06: 155.5 Lunch w/ hubby at Olive Garden (Sat.) + took home 1/2 entre ~ sodium very high + 13c water. Walked dog 3.57 mi 1:05:01 pace 18:11. Fitbit 12,715 steps, 250+ steps 9/14 & 22 floors. Changed MFP setting to lose 1/2# per week & see how that goes.
    05/07: 154.0 Liking change in daily calories with new setting ~ don't feel as hungry. Net calories green, sugar -5, sodium -547, fiber & protein good & 14c water. Walked dog 3.81 mi 1:08:03 pace 17:55. Yard work (lots of bending & hauling).

    05/08: 154.0 Did ok all day, stuck w/ prelogged meals & snacks, and net calories w/i limit... then late evening snacking on walnut halves ~ ack!!! Really liking my new calorie limit, but need to figure out what to do about snack attacks ~ I never used to. Rest day ~ Fitbit 10,194 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 30 floors. Raked part of front yard after work ~ so many whirlybirds ~ that was a good arm workout!
    05/09: 154.0 Yes! Stuck pretty much w/ prelogged meals, snacks + one curveball.

Fitbit 16,402 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 54 floors ~ evening, packed 3 boxes of Easter decorations & stored in basement ~ yes, I still had Easter decorations out.
    05/10: 153.5 I think changing my MFP setting to 1/2# per week, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me. Net calories -15, sodium -721, sugar -19 (mostly fruit, power muffin & yogurt), fiber excellent, protein good & 14c water. Walked dog before work in off + on sprinkles + beat the rain / 3.43 mi 1:01:05 / remembered to stretch. Fitbit 16,489 steps, 250+ steps 14/14 (boom!) & 46 floors. Workplace step challenge ~ currently in 31st place / top 30 women get prize at 10-week point... too bad leader board combines men & women, and everyone is listed by code number with no gender identification.

    I'm close to the UGW I set a long time ago, 145. I've realized for a while, I need to reevaluate and lose at least another 10 lbs but it will be so great to hit the first goal. I need to focus, though.

    5/09: 148.0

    My best friend is a very fit and active lady. She was fighting to lose another 10 pounds until the trainer at OTF pointed out to her that she needed to start tracking other metrics, not pounds. Turned out she was fixated on the weight she was when she got married, and not looking at the fact that she is far more muscular now.

    @cjsacto, I was going to comment on your post yesterday, but got sidetracked. My height is 5'7.5" My perfect weight is 130lbs according to H/W calculators and in my mind :D I don' t know if I'll be able to get there, but of course I'll try. Anyway, what @DebCountsAll posted is absolutely correct. In my early 30's I was a beast when it came to cardio and weightlifting. In combination with low carb eating, my body was tighter and slimmer at 160lbs than when I was 130lbs in my early twenties. When I compare photos of myself from both decades, I look fat at 130 and I definitely was not. Strength training is awesome.
