    @Snowflake1968 As I say every challenge, it generally takes my body/scale 2-3 days to reflect the food I’ve eaten.

    @GrandmaJackie Thank you for the new link! ;):)

    That's what I am finding as well. Thanks for sharing with me :)

    Age 60, 5'4.5" 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 [R39] 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:
    Annual workplace Health Risk Assessment 5/15/18: Waist the smallest it's been since 2007 according to past HRA records. :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.

Had every intention of eating small portions of whatever lunch and refreshments were served. Not so much. By evening, the introvert in me was exhausted, having handled seminar check-in and networking with 26 people in my professional association all day, even though I loved it. So after I drove 33 miles back to my city & deposited seminar checks at in-store bank, I picked up rotisserie chicken, deli salads and a few groceries on my way home, and proceeded to eat with abandon, including WAY too much sugar.

Fabulous lunch, everyone else had paninis but I had fusilli with shrimp, artichoke hearts, white wine & sun-dried tomatoes ~ so good! We always have an afternoon break for dessert & this year we had pie break. I indulged in caramel apple pie ~ yum! Before leaving home for day, I walked dog 3.07 mi 53:19 and ate mango overnights oats (yum & filling) for breakfast. Fitbit 14,217 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 20 floors.

Moved 3,196# (I did the math) of retaining wall blocks (17# each), with hubby of course, from pallet in driveway, around garage, through back gate, across backyard, up berm and placed along 85' back fence. I started by carrying one in each hand (indents in blocks) but when pallet was > 1/2 empty I couldn't do two anymore, and only carried one at a time. Took us 3 hours total & I weeded berm as we went. My workouts are paying off ~ my arms weren't too sore, just my hand grip and lower back from lots of bending ~ took Aleve after and felt fine next day.

    @MomToMurphy, Yes, it's about 10 or 12 of us. I noticed that a couple of rounds ago, so I keep watch ;) We all seem to be doing the same thing. In my case, I know that I was in the low 200's for a while before an injury made my weight skyrocket. I wonder if that could be the reason for my weight bouncing around at that point.

    Yep! I think 180/185 is going to be my goal weight (we'll see!), so a slowdown is expected, I guess. Still frustrating.

    @puddlegoober, Yes, it can be frustrating, but you can make it to your goal weight. Don't compromise! I have done that before, get close to goal and say, ahh, close enough. 180/185 is a good weight for your height. One of my sons is your height. He said he'd be happy at 200lbs. I'd be happy if he were 200lbs also, but I hope once he gets there he takes it further.

    Good luck! I hope you break through 190 before this round ends, if not, early next round.

    @tiabirdie56 Ah, I misunderstood when I first read your post. I thought you meant under eating was responsible for lack of loss.

    @clarestorm1886 According to popular water consumption guidelines, I'm always dehydrated. I rarely drink more than 30 oz on a daily basis. I only drink when I'm thirsty. I'm trying to consistently follow the same guidelines for food. Some days I nail it, some days I don't.

    @jerier, I have posted that I gain weight when I don't eat enough, which is absolutely true. If I under eat on a daily basis, my body just holds on to everything. This time though I dumped over a pound overnight from not eating enough. It wasn't water weight. I wasn't happy about that either. I want to eat every allotted calorie. I will only leave calories behind if I've met my macros. Ideally, I strive to do both. I know that it may not make sense to others, but it's what works in my favor. Every week or so I have a day of higher calorie intake and sometimes it forces my body to drop weight. I just do what I should and my body takes care of the rest.
