I knew this weigh in would likely be up. We had an event just before the weigh in that I figured I'd be holding onto water weight with. Chugging water and push on.
Keep up the hard work everyone. Even if it's a small change, it's a change! I usually take measurements once a month, so when the scale doesn't reflect my hard work, the tape typically does.

January 1st - 181.4
January 2nd -181.1 So glad to have my new digital scale so that I feel rewarded by "good" days. I am also happy with my decision to weigh every day, it makes me mindful every night that I will be weighing in the morning and affects my choices.
January 3rd - 181.9
January 4th - 181.7
January 5th - 178.7
January 6th - 182.5 Crazy how everything fluctuates. I couldn't believe yesterday, so weighed 5 times. Up 3.8 from yesterday, but I have skating on the docket for today. Perhaps I will discover a trend in something that I am doing, eating, or something that I am not eating with how it affects me.
January 7th - 181.7
January 8th - 183.0 - really don't get the gain this time, I was in really good numbers all week.
January 9th - 182.2 - I seriously expect a really big loss soon. I am just sticking with it. I am working very long hours this week, maybe my body is holding on to it just in case.
January 10th - 179.8 - not getting too excited, I see how I can be almost 4 pounds more the next day. Still, glad to be slightly under 180 at least for today : - )
January 11th - 180.7
January 12th - 182.4 - I was less disciplined in December and still lost weight, yet this month I am being so careful and am just not dropping weight. I have to stick with it.

I went through a little bit of a rough patch early this month with the fiancés birthday and new year celebrations but I’m proud of myself for picking it back up and not using it as a way to beat myself up and give up.

@dawnbgethealthy HUG! That was exactly my story in November. It was frustrating.
I realized a few things that I was doing, they may not be true for you but I’m sharing because they are good examples of hidden self sabotage.
One was I was being a bit loose on my measurements, specifically I was eating double servings of peanut butter🙈
Second if I drank any alcohol didn’t matter if it was 2 glasses of wine or a low calorie vodka soda even if I was in my calorie goal or under I would get this super low scale number the next morning BUT the day after that I would be back up and often 1/2lb to a pound higher then where I started pre drink.
I was casually having a drink or two as many as three times a week and was sabotaging all of my hard work.
It sucks but once a saw my pattern of sabotage I stopped the social drinks and I’m seeing a much steadier decrease and even added back in the extra peanut butter.
But boy am I looking forward to a Manhattan on Valentines Day!

Kept carbs under 40 M thru F, goal is for this weekend to keep under 50. And really hit it again this coming up week. Stay hydrated, doing a 5 mile walk tomorrow. Starting to do longer walks. Later in year planning on doing a walking half marathon. Gulp. So need to start adding distance, then start working more on time for distance. So far doing good for time spent on 3.5 miles. We will see.

Total loss for January - 1.1 lbs
Honestly, I’m a little frustrated. I’ve been working my butt off adding consistent exercise to my routine (and of course still sticking to my calories) and I feel like the weight is just barely coming off. It is my period week so there might be some water retention happening. I just feel like I’ve been working really hard the past 10 days and haven’t gotten much to show for it.
@Running2FitRunning : losing a pound a week is a very good rhythm for solid weight loss.
https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/losing_weight/index.html :
"It’s natural for anyone trying to lose weight to want to lose it very quickly. But evidence shows that people who lose weight gradually and steadily (about 1 to 2 pounds per week) are more successful at keeping weight off. "
Also I am sure you really do not want to read this. But now you are about 25 pounds away from your goal weight. And there are lots of discussions around the fact that when one only has X amount of pounds to lose. It is not uncommon for it to come off slowly like half a pound per week at the most. I am sure it is frustrating for you as you have lost 44 pounds and want the balance to just keep coming off steady. But as we know weight loss is not linear at all. Hopefully soon you will have a week when you lose 2-3 at one time.4 -

I know all of that. It’s not at all that I don’t want to hear it. Sometimes I just want to be frustrated and annoyed about slow progress which I think is totally valid. I didn’t say I was going to give up or do anything drastic/unhealthy to go faster. Just wanted to talk about my frustration a little. Not sure why anyone feels the need to give me a little lecture about how weight loss works. Just so you know, and I’m sure you don’t want to read this, I didn’t find it helpful or encouraging just annoying.
I’m also totally aware this is a crabby post. I wrote a similar response to the original post like this one and then deleted it because I decided to just let my annoyance go. I’m not deleting this one because this is truly how I feel and I want to be able to say I’m frustrated and be able to use this as a place for a support without getting little lectures about how apparently I should feel or whatever.8 -

Happy Sunday, everyone!
Moving in the right direction, albeit slowly. Getting back to habits that got me this far in the first place.
Sticking to calorie goal. That is probably the most important.
Moving more. I have a 30 minute lunch break at work, I am trying to spend 10-15 minutes of that walking brisk laps around our warehouse. That did good things for me in the beginning, and I got lazy and stopped. I used to walk laps before my shift but we don't get let in these days much before our start time. So lunchtime it is.
You don't have to do drastic things. Make small changes, they are more likely to stick.
Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.
Lowest since 1991: 194.4 November 25, 2018.
Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.
MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233.
