Day/Weight/Comment
6/16 - 60.6kg (-1.0kg) - This was a big drop from yesterday and I have a feeling I will be chasing this number for most of this round. Have made my initial overall goal weight today though so I am taking it and am happy happy happy!!

6/17 - 61.6kg (+1.0kg) - Had a wonderful night last night with my girlfriends, full of delicious snacks and wine. If this is my weekend bump I will be happy! Great news as well - I got an interview for an amazing job but I am already going through a really tough/stressful time and this is just one more thing I need to put my energy into. Just going to do my best and try to manage my stress without reverting to old habits of eating everything in sight.

6/17 - Sunday - 197.6 - worked hard yesterday to find a happy medium between what I wanted and what I had calories for. Another day of being mindful while still enjoying life. I expect my usual Monday gain before any more losses. Really had to think about goals last night. I'm so happy with my progress so far. I decided to plan for 1lb/week over the next 15 weeks giving me til around November 1st. I updated my goal in Libra and it put my trend goal date around mid September at my current rate. So, I have room for life to happen within my goal timeframe. Feels really empowering to be planning for the next 4 months after a successful 2 months. I am committed to my health!!!

Calliope610 · June 2018

Hi, I'm Callie and I would like to join this accountability group. I find that setting small, attainable goals (10 days at a time) work better for me than setting big, long range goals.

I'm 56yo, memopausal, 5'4". I started MFP in Dec 2012 weighing 232lbs. I lost a bit of weight in 2013-2014, down to 184, before recovery from knee surgery slowed (and finally reversed

) my weight loss. I gained back about 25-30lbs during 2015-2016 and have been sitting at 205-210lbs for the last year. I recommitted in 2018 and really got serious in March. I have lost 15lbs since March have a goal to reach 160 by end of the year. 148ish is my ultimate goal.

06/17 - 151 (HS 149.7) - 1765 - 10-day ave 1432
This makes no sense to me at all. My calories yesterday were a bit higher than normal, but my 10-day averages for quite a while have been at or below my maintenance level, so at worst I should be holding steady. I've been walking at least an hour 3 -5 times a week, drinking lots of water.... I occasionally have a high-sodium day, but mostly keep within bounds. My macros average out regularly to C 40-55, F 25-35, P 20-25, so I don't see a problem there. Bah!
I'm thinking of not weighing in daily this round - it's makin' me crazy - or of looking only at my running ave weight from Happy Scale instead of daily fluctuations, which might make me slightly less disappointed. How can my weight not only not go down, but go up, eating fewer calories the past 3 weeks than I was eating for months before while maintaining the same weight? Makes no sense at all. Short of extreme diets, anyone have any suggestions based on experience?

I also told a friend today that I had lost almost 60lbs and need to lose 60 more. Of course she naysaid that. "Do you really want to lose that much weight?" Uh, yes I do. Every excess pound on my body, I want off.

@tiabirdie56 Congratulations! That's such a wonderful feeling, getting into clothes (especially pants!) we couldn't before! Yay! And ah, the naysayers. I've learned not to tell most of my friends that my goal is to drop another 20-25 pounds - unl ess they are on the same journey and have had some lasting, significant success, they nearly always offer the old "you look great, you don't need to lose anymore, you don't want to be that skinny...."

6/17 165.6 I am so incredibly stoked with this weight! This means that in spite of myself I am heading in the right direction. It really does help to log on this challenge, it gives me perspective and a bigger picture view of the fluctuations that happen on the scale when you weigh yourself daily. I am learning not to take the little ups and downs too seriously, and also that I can indulge as long as the overall week is more frugal. I am also finding that I am attempting to change my perspective on food. So much of my relationship with food has been complicated, I have punished myself by taking it away, have controlled things by restricting my diet, have rewarded myself by eating, have comforted myself with food, have tried to alleviate boredom and monotony with the variety of stuff I put in my body...but it keeps coming in to my awareness, through things I read or people I talk to, that food is fuel. I can gain enjoyment from eating, but it should be secondary, low on the list. The first purpose of food is to fuel my body. I am working on seeking variety in other ways, in noticing when the boredom seeks the cookie cabinet, and stopping to think and feel first. Not that I won't continue to struggle, not that I won't continue to indulge, but I am going to stay awake.

Oh, what have I done, what have I done? I DONE lost enough weight so far to fit a pair of pants that I have not worn in over TEN YEARS! They are COTTON. Woven, 100% cotton. No stretching going on here. Waistband closure is ovelapped tab button and hook and eyes. I had room. I was shocked! There was ample room in the thigh area too! I almost cried. I told my DH that my biggest fear was having them split from dry rot, they've been in my closet for so long. Lol. They didn't split! I guess that's a testament to my weight loss and the fabric quality. So grateful.

I also told a friend today that I had lost almost 60lbs and need to lose 60 more. Of course she naysaid that. "Do you really want to lose that much weight?" Uh, yes I do. Every excess pound on my body, I want off.

@tiabirdie56 Congratulations!!!! I love your testimonial about your commitment to your health and happiness. I'm also glad you closed down the naysayer's negativity.

This makes no sense to me at all. My calories yesterday were a bit higher than normal, but my 10-day averages for quite a while have been at or below my maintenance level, so at worst I should be holding steady. I've been walking at least an hour 3 -5 times a week, drinking lots of water.... I occasionally have a high-sodium day, but mostly keep within bounds. My macros average out regularly to C 40-55, F 25-35, P 20-25, so I don't see a problem there. Bah!
I'm thinking of not weighing in daily this round - it's makin' me crazy - or of looking only at my running ave weight from Happy Scale instead of daily fluctuations, which might make me slightly less disappointed. How can my weight not only not go down, but go up, eating fewer calories the past 3 weeks than I was eating for months before while maintaining the same weight? Makes no sense at all. Short of extreme diets, anyone have any suggestions based on experience?

Hi Sheila- we get so tied to the scale, I too work on not letting the daily fluctuations get me flustered. It helps to remember that it is a journey, not a destination, and to look at the big picture. It sounds like you are doing what your body needs to be healthy, how can you punish yourself for a small 6 1/2 oz gain? It can be so hard to love ourselves, especially when it comes to our bodies, but this is what I resolved to work on this year when I turned 51. We have one life as far as we know, and I don't want to spend it hating on myself. I hope this helps you in some way, I love you friend, sister, and am sending you hugs!

I finished last round up a pound from my challenge start weight:(. Not a good thing but it’s all on me. I have to step back and regroup. I’m in for this round but did not weigh today. I’ll weigh in the morning and we will start there.
