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!

Walked even though my knee is hurting. Probably not a good thing, but I have a hard time deciding whether I’m really in danger of permanent injury or whether I’m just being a wuss. Aching knee made it hard to sleep. I’m icing, massaging, using Voltaren and Tylenol. I really don’t want to quit walking now. Perhaps I’ll try wrapping it before I walk today. Made a gorgeous Father’s Day breakfast for hubby and boys and ate a whopping 522 calories of berry pancakes with maple syrup and bacon. Will behave for the remainder of the day.

@denicaswrex Thanks. I don't hate myself. I'm actually up more than .6 over the past few days -- more like 2.2 -- despite my calorie average, so I'm just frustrated and trying to make sense of the numbers. But I appreciate your kind words!

@quiltingjaine I have not read The Obesity Code. I'll look for it, particularly Ch. 6. Thanks.

@SheilaBoneham
I’ve been going through much the same.
A few ideas that might help you sleuth our what is happening (sorry in advance if you are already all over these):

1. If we do the same exercise, our bodies optimize & become more efficient, thus burning fewer calories. I plan to vary length, intensity, and the type of exercise & see if it helps.
2. I have always found I gain 2-3 pounds when the weather gets hot. I think my body hangs on to more water. Conversely, I’ll magically drop 2-3 in the fall when it gets colder.
3. I’ve stepped up my exercise & I definitely can tell I’m more muscular. This can make the muscles hang on to water, too.
4. And I know you know this but as we get lighter our Resting Energy or metabolism needs fewer calories. I now burn 1600 a day based on my Apple Watch. Three months ago, I regularly burned 1650-1700 with ease. My regular walking around does not get my heart rate high enough now to be counted as Active calories burned. A double whammy. Again, the good news is my heart & body are healthier & stronger.
5. I think you did a metabolism reset once before. I spent the last month eating at maintenance & boosting my exercise. I like the results.
6. Fiber. I think this is key for me.
7. I am shifting my foods earlier in the day so i can burn them off more.

If I continue to be in a deficit & still don’t lose, I will cut my calories 100/week until I do.

I’m also thinking of switching to my 10 day avg wt instead of the scale— too crazy making for me.

Best to you!
