•6/18 - 195.2 - Early weigh in. No electrolytes yesterday and I should have had some. Spent some time in the sun over a blazing grill and then sat out in the heat for an hour. I was worn out last night and still tired. The heat really beats me down.

@SheilaBoneham, Yes, be very careful in the heat and try electrolytes. Even being under air conditioning is dehydrating. I am so sorry that you suffered a heat stroke. I had heat exhaustion years ago. I learned my lesson; no physical activity in the extreme heat and limited time in the sun. Something I used to do everyday during the summer months.

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?

06/18 - 151 (HS 149.9) - 1612 - 10-day ave 1466
I had a mild "don't care" yesterday and went slightly over calorie goal, but all healthy food, and under my estimated TDEE (maintenance). I'm still thoroughly confused by this uptick, but I'll just ride it out. So much for crunching the numbers! Maybe it is partly the heat - we've been under a heat advisory for 3 days, so I'm drinking gallons of water and not getting as much walking (I had heat stroke years ago and am prone to getting sick in severe heat, so I don't take any chances).

@SheilaBoneham Weight loss is seldom linear. It's more of a rollercoaster ride. Sometimes these pesky bodies of our just go temporarily mad, dig their heels in, and our weight rises for no apparent reason. And then there are those endless plateaus, where they sit stubbornly no matter what we do. It's all part of the process.

We need to look at the trends, and not lose patience or focus with what we hope to achieve. So hang in there, sister, the good times will return

Day/Weight/Comment
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!!!
6/18 - 199.8 - Whoa what a gain! It's a just a hair over my trend line on the upside but this is about progress, not perfection. Not sweating it. I logged everything. But more importantly I ENJOYED everything. Sometimes lately I've been feeling bad about eating certain things - not physically - but guilty - which takes the joy out of food and other moments. So yesterday I had a plan to stay within calories, but we happened upon some BEAUTIFUL broccoli rabe and DH had to make pork and rabe sandwhiches - they were otherworldly. Also picked up some fragrant fresh picked strawberries - was going to have a just a handful - but MIL brought over freshly baked shortbread and I had coolwhip - so after a long day we enjoyed strawberry shortcakes. For me, food really is to be enjoyed - fresh, homemade, healthy food in moderation. And heck, even moderation in moderation! So yesterday was a win for me! Been doing well taking my supplements too! Back to work for another successful week! Forgot my blender bottle at work over the weekend so just a hard boiled egg and a nectarine for breakfast today. Leftover quinoa bowl for lunch with added black bean burger. Plans to order out to avoid record breaking heat tonight and alleviate stress after a super late night at the laundromat last night - going to prelog now so I know what will work best!

Day/Weight/Comment

6/18- 236.8 Readjusted my goals and calories budget decreased by 200 calories. Not worried about it though since I’ve been consistently logging below budget. I have a nagging worry in the back of my mind that this big weight loss at the beginning of my journey won’t stick. I’m at about 13lbs in 3 weeks with just sticking to 1500 calories. No exercise yet because I’m waiting for clearance. I feel like I’m cheating somehow.

@L2HS Your loss will stick. Keep making healthy choices, stay within a caloric deficit 5 - 6 days per week, eat at maintenance calories for the other day(s). You should continue to lose the excess body weight. It's a numbers game with the greatest losses when we have more than 20-25% of our ideal body weight to lose. As we become more lean, the losses are in smaller increments. I liken it to our bodies adjusting to our new normal.

With that said, quality does play an important role. When I eat healthy foods at a weekly deficit, I see a downward trend in my weight. When I eat high sodium foods at a weekly deficit, I retain water and typically show a gain or no loss as the trend. When I eat high sugar foods at a weekly deficit, my body retains more water than with sodium and the trend definitely goes upward.

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.

6/18 WEEKLY WEIGH IN 165.8 I was so incredibly thirsty last night. It reminds me of the low carb diet I was on a couple of years ago. I am changing my macros and increasing the carbs slightly, though a higher lean protein diet does keep me full, I don't want to go KETO. I have planned out the next 4 days of menus since my mom and dad are staying with us, added to the fact that I have started a household budget for groceries...working to get debt free! I feel good about today, and my weekly weigh in this morning is down 1.8 lbs from last Monday, so I would say SUCCESS!!! Remembering its a process, not a destination!!
