@Michellelagle Can you tell me where you posted? I searched your name and can't find it -- I just want to make sure I'm not missing any weigh-ins. Also, your starting weight for October is listed at 171 - is that an error?

I'm grateful for the weather, to be able to go for a walk. Maybe the last time as it is getting hotter and wet season is almost here. Exercise-yes, calories-yes, tracked-yes.

Exercise. Yes
Calories. Yes
Tracked. Yes

My weight is fluctuating rapidly.195-197 to 200 and now 203.5 pounds during this week.Very depressing.Feeling discouraged.Want to make change.2 months ago it was 188 pounds.I can’t do any activity these days.I want to see 197 lbs on my scale.And I don’t want to leave this group.I will by the grace of God try again.

@fe452436 How are things going with tracking your food? Are you weighing things? Looking honestly at your tracking logs, do you think there are any areas where calories might be sneaking in? (Like, taking bites of a kid's food while packing lunch, estimating uses of condiments on food, a different brand of something has different calories than an old brand, etc?)

I am also going up, and am not sure why. Staying within my calories, and I am exercising more. Even though today isn't my weigh in day, I stepped on the scale this morning and am up another 1.5 lbs. I am hoping it is salt, so I am going to be a little more watchful for the next 2 days (my weigh in day is Wednesday). I do have a NSV that I am trying to focus on - tracked every day last week.

@edising - Way to go on that non-scale victory! I've been stuck in a plateau, too, and I'm certain it's because of getting loose on tracking, plus a change of daily routine that's resulted in less walking. I do have some meals that in the past were good for reliably losing weight (nothing magical - a tuna or sardine wrap for lunch, chicken and broccoli for dinner, that kind of thing) and I think I need to have a couple of days where I go back to those meals to kick out of my slump. The chillier weather and eating inside makes me less desirous of those things, though. I live for summer!

So I have achieved my goal this month:) I fit into all my clothes. Size 10 and some size 8 Australian. Lost 4cm around my waist over the last four weeks. My waist measurement is still in the too big category so still a bit of work to go. Now to looking even leaner soon, like I looked two years ago.

@12Sarah2015 Way to go on exercise, calories, and tracking! Enjoy your perfectly pleasant weather as long as it lasts! And wow - way to go on achieving your goal for the month! Gettin' it done, girl! Yeah!

Happy Tuesday, Week 2! A big thank you to our Tuesday weighers, who have already posted!

@lilmamawoz - holding steady in the face of some health challenges - not an easy thing to do, and something to feel proud of!!
@Sparx_81 -- Down 0.87% from last week!


And, for anyone who missed it, I'm reposting my question of the week. I loving seeing what you all are grateful for, and it makes me happy to share in these things with you. Thank you for that!!

Question for the Week

When I've struggled with disappointment over how unfit I was, I've tried to remember to "Be grateful for your abilities today."

After a hard October Week 1, where many Gutbusters dealt with stresses or had trouble knocking off the pounds, I think maybe we could use a chance to think about what we're grateful for today.

So, it doesn't have to be weight loss related at all, but What are you grateful for today? Bonus points if you post a picture to share with us! (Use the little picture icon to add the pic)
