@CathyVee You would have to eat 7000+ calories to gain 2.6 pounds in a night???? I eat 1200 calories everyday and see a 3 lb gain if I indulge to closer to 2000 (which isn't hard to do on pizza nights or any other day of take out)

My metabolism suuuuuuucks

That's not your metabolism ... that's water retention due to high sodium in things such as pizzas.

You would have to eat 7000+ calories to gain 2.6 pounds in a night???? <--- this is everyone regardless of sodium. (Actually is 3,500 calories per pound of fat) that's science.

8/16 85.6kg (+0.1kg) That's really fine after a 7 ounce lost overnight! I'm thinking of slowing down the weightloss, since I don't need to loose too much more weight (about 6kg/13lbs). On the other side, things go well and it isn't very hard on me to eat less. So not sure yet. I'm leaving in 4 weeks on a 3 week trip to Botswana and Namibia in Africa. Maybe I'll just continue till then the way I do now and slow down after the my vacation.... And how knows...... maybe I just don't wanna stop at 79 kilo's

Day/Weight/Comment

8/16: 70.1 - Okay okay, I've been putting off posting here today because the number is higher than I would like. Pretty sure it's just a fluctuation, completely normal and nothing to worry about. I say: worrying. Anyway, an okay day yesterday. Ate fine, but had a packaged wrap for lunch and Chinese takeaway for dinner. Both salty and would which pretty much explain gain on the scales this morning. Takeaway is always hard to account for, so I hope that I've over estimated, but I could well have underestimated. Also did a bunch of scraping wallpaper glue off the walls which probably would burn some of those potentially extra calories but I have no idea how to log those, so I've not bothered. Can't believe I'm over half way through my maintenance week already.
8/17: 69.6 - Well, that's more like it, very much on track to maintain well this week. Difficult day yesterday, spent quite some time being very nervous about the interview I had today (it went well I think) and so food thoughts were not my top priority. Drank plenty of water in a hope of sorting out the saltiness of the previous day. Food wise, a slightly odd day. Not hungry at all in the morning, so had a protein bar I keep in my desk for snacks at around 10:30 (way later than normal). Then ate leftover takeaway with some rice for lunch, which felt like it should've been more filling than it was, but was enjoyable to eat. Then was ravenous when I got home and so ate what ended up being a modest sized dinner fairly early then wasn't very hungry for the rest of the evening. In fact I had to munch on a packet of crisps to get me close to my goal allowance. Still a little under, but only just.
8/18: 69.9 - A late weigh in, so was probably a little lower, but I stayed at a friend's so didn't have scales until I got home. I was expecting it to be a bad day yesterday with dinner and wine at my friend's, but then we skipped dessert as we weren't hungry and ended up only a little over my goal.
8/19: 69.0 - (I actually started writing this yesterday, but then we were in the car and I can't look down in the car) I mean I'm happy, but at the same time, I know that it's a down flux so I'm not going on that. Besides, still supposed to be maintaining. Anyway, ate my lazy food and was expecting to be a little over, then dinner again was very small and then I was under what I wanted to have to for the day. Ate some crisps trying to bump up the calories, but still ended up under. I also spent about 4 hours painting our hallway and was completely shattered by the end of the day. Week at maintenance completed. I'm actually going to push going back to deficit one day for tomorrow as we have a BBQ and I'll probably go over anyway, so I might as well make it planned. Also, easier to start deficit for me on a Monday.
8/20: 69.4 - Went for a BBQ for lunch yesterday. I'm 100% certain I have under logged because there was lots of nibbles that I have no idea how much I had. However, we also did some playing football with my boyfriend's nephews and some diy in the evening, so burnt some more calories than I'm probably accounting for too. I also didn't eat anything other than lunch, so although it was all my calories for the day, it was also all I ate for the day. Avoided all the things that I didn't really want eat (cheese on my burger, bread, baps), to save room for the food I really did want (meat, meat, & more meat). So I felt like I managed the situation reasonably well.

8/21: 69.5 - Back on the deficit. Forgot all my tricks to actually make a filling lunch and so had breakfast and lunch that were way too few calories and so I was ravenous all day (not making that mistake again today). When I ate dinner, I managed to have that "full, but also really hungry" feeling in my belly which was not very fun. I'm going to arbitrarily blame carbs because I had significantly less than I normally do. So I then had a slice of bread and felt much better. Judo in the evening, which I didn't eat back barely any of the calories for and yet I still felt overfull when training. All in all just a bit of a toughie yesterday trying to get back into the deficit.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 - 61.3 kg, yesterday had a very disciplined day after seing the morning weight slight increase. Low carb diet respected, 1 hour of yoga and no food after 18:00. Today I have a party , hope to keep drinks under control, We will see tomorrow morning the damages.
8/17 - 61.6 kg, small gain that is no surprise considering the 2 large beers that I have yesterday. I am happy there is no significant damage, back on track today & no party plans
8/18 - 61.1 kg, clean eating, no food after 18:00 and unfortunately no sport as my class was canceled.
8/19 - 60.7 kg, clean eating, low carb, yoga done and no food after 18:00. Had however a glass of white wine and I am happy that I didn't see it in the scale
8/20 - 60.8 kg, relatively clean eating but snacking too much, this is my challenge during the weekend, take few nuts, a cube of parmesan, again few nuts and didn't resist to a dry martini in the evening. So while I kept it under 20 carbs I think that I pushed a little bit on the calories side. On the positive side I have done my circuit class and started at home some arm exercises that I plan to do daily on top of the gym. Hoping to see my hidden muscles:)
8/21 - 61.4 kg, totally unexpected. I had a clean day , 21 carbs, 1100 cal and 3 liters of water + 1 class of TRX. I do not really understand what went wrong. I even was full of energy and cleaned my kitchen till 10 pm (my 14 yo son loves to cook and experiments in the kitchen but I need at least 1 hour of deep cleaning after he prepares something). I think that I was on the extreme side of energy as I was not able to sleep till 1 am and even after that I can remember that I moved from one side to another all night and now of course I can barely keep my eyes open. Hope tomorrow is a better day!

Day/Weight/Comment
8/16 This morning 137 pounds. Concert last night. My food was over my macros. Gym tonight.

8/17 - 136 pounds. Ran an hour last night. Food was on point except for late-night snack.

8/18 -133 pounds. Part of this is dehydration. Outdoor concert in the heat last night and a 40 min run this morning. I expect to see a bit of a rebound gain in the next few days.

8/19 - 133 pounds. No gym today. Relaxing and resting.

8/20 - 134 pounds. I knew I would see a bit of rebound. Back to the gym today.

8/21 – 132 pounds, Food was on point. Exception was a late-night snack (2 tablespoons peanut butter sugar free jelly with sugar free chocolate syrup) Hour run and 40 mins lifting.

Day/Weight

8/16 - 146.8 - saw this weight last round, will see if it sticks around this time.

8/17 - 146.8

8/18 - 148.0 when I woke up and 146.2 after I decided to go back to bed for a couple hours. Hoping the 146.2 is accurate but I also had a burger and booze last night so I see where 148 comes from. Either way I'm back on track today, Friday is always my relaxed evening when it comes to food and drinks because it's usually date night for me and my husband.

8/19 - 148.2 - I guess my body isn't ready to be rid of this number yet. I've lost pretty consistently since January though so being stuck here for a bit is ok.

8/20 - 149.0 - ok with being stuck but not gaining, so very frustrated. Kids start school tomorrow so things should be getting back on a pretty set schedule and I am definitely needing the consistency it'll bring.

8/21 148.0 - my weigh ins have moved to an hour earlier than I have been now that school has started and I have to get my son up early. Was completely expecting an increase and was going to be perfectly fine with it as I took the day off from work to spend a day out with my kids before the 1st day of school. It included pizza buffet and popcorn at the movies so still might see the increase tomorrow but going to eat as healthy as possible today and hope it doesn't jump again.
