    Feeling discouraged. This week has been a blunder. I feel like lately most of my September days have been blunders. This weekend I re-evaluated my menu and schedule as well as evaluated any possible barriers to success. We will see how close I get to my Sept goal of losing 5 pounds. I have 2.3 pounds to go!

    Happy Sunday, everyone!

    Well I had an up-and-down week resulting in the same weekly average for this week as last.

    A few days after we returned from vacation, as I mentioned last week, both our trucks broke down. They are fixed.. but after some discussion we decided to retire our older vehicle (21 years old) and buy a newer one (2 years old), so the last week was consumed with car shopping on weekend/after work, and going here and there to sign papers and stuff, so our whole week was upside-down. We are just now returning to our normal routine post-vacation, so hopefully I'll be able to re-lose the couple of pounds I'm up. I saw 199.9 once, but popped back up over 200 for the remainder of the week.

    No worries - routine returns to normal starting now, so we'll be eating at home again and not grabbing junk on the road. I'm pretty sure some of this is fluid retention too - hopefully I'll find my hydration equilibrium again soon and that should help as well.

    Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

    Lowest since 1999: 195.

    Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

    MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

    Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

    Weekly averages:
    August 20th to August 26th: 200.3
    September 1st - 10th - Vacation. No scale, are way too much!
    September 9th - 15th: 201.1
    September 16th - 23rd: 201.1 - no loss is better than a gain!

    Loss for September: 0.8 GAIN - not terrible for vacation time.

    MFP Loss: 31.9 lbs

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 41.9 lbs

    Until next week...and the end of the month...

    Move more, eat less.

    I, too was thrown off last week but issue my was (Pre-Tom) and I just couldn't help myself, but I hope to get back on track after my 24hr to 36 hr Fast. Then back to OMAD! Yeah I didn't bother to weigh-in, my calories were extremely high!

    As I stated above, I had the munchies, calories were super high for most of the week, however I did stay active, ie exercising, keeping up with an 11 yr old etc...Good thing I didn't weigh-in because I'm retaining water but I'm fasting now for about 36 hrs, so I hope my body will "restart" and I can get back on track!

    9/8th: 187.6
    9/15th:187.6
    9/23rd: No weigh-in (TOM)
    9/29th:

    No change from my number from last week, but I am ok with that. I went over maintenance this weekend, so I didn't expect to see a loss. My overall trend is still downward. Sometimes you have to take a step backward to keep moving forward.
