Total Lost in August - 3.3 lb
After a Tuesday weigh-in of 191.1 (felt extra dehydrated), was a little disappointed in the 1.5 lb jump up the next day. Either way, still a downward trend and a week left to lost 1.7 pounds!

I'm about to throw a 'You go girl in Onderland' party for you---im so excited! Lol. So close, Jenn! Get 'er done!
Hopefully soon. Realistically it won't be for good until the weekly average starts with a 1-number.
I am 51 years old. I have been over 200 lbs for over half of my life. I went over 200 during my first pregnancy in 1992, and only saw a 1 number a couple of times since, 18 years ago. My daughter is 26, and my son is 24. Before I planned my family I struggled with weight and saw a doctor for 8 months to lose weight before trying to conceive. Lost 24 lbs then but it all came back with the pregnancy and never went away. Had 2 kids just under 2 years apart, gained afterward and maxxed at 254, and managed to lose 52 lbs in 1999-2000, but still couldn't stay below 200. Held steady for about 13 years and the pounds crept on again til I peaked again at 243 in 2015. I didn't want to keep going so it was time to really change. I cut meal portions and got a treadmill, and managed to lose 10 lbs. I asked for a step tracker for Christmas and got it in 2016, paired it with MFP and never looked back.
So yeah, ONEderland is a big deal for me...psychologically, as well as physically. It has been a long time coming. WHEN that average starts with a 1, I promise myself it will never go back to a 2 again. If I had the tools then, that I have now... but I didn't... but I do now, so this time is the last time.
So yeah..BRING ON ONEDERLAND!!!!
Jenn <--- Feeling younger and more energetic than I did in my late 20s!

I would keep track of my food here on MFP. It is a great tool and gives you caloric and nutrient value. Maybe you are getting too much of a bad thing and not enough good. Read labels. I was shocked at how much sodium is in a Lean Cuisine. Also up your exercise game a bit.

Take body measurements. I find that my measurements go down at times when the scale does not. Ensure that you're eating at your weight loss calorie range. If you are - then try focusing on something - for example, drinking more water, or eating more veggies, or eating more protein. Just something to make you feel you're putting an effort forth. Because over time - if you're eating at your weight loss range - you will start to lose again. I've gone 4-6 weeks without losing when I've been actively trying. Maybe try taking a diet break and just maintaining for a while. Try doing different exercises from what you're currently doing. Do both cardio and ST. That's all I got! Good luck - hope you get moving down again3 -

This has been a difficult 2 weeks. My blood pressure went way up, been struggling with my weight. It has taken me all week to get a handle on it. So I will take what I got. There was a time there, when I thought my weight was going to be 146 for today.

Well what an eventful week this has been. I've cut back on my drinking for just over a month now and I have to say my tolerance levels have already gone way down. I am finally working out how to eat things I want by managing my daily calorie allowance and even though Aunt Flow came round, the scale still dipped this week. I am very happy. Good job everyone!!
