    Yes, I began weighing daily not only to look for trends, but for morale and accountability. Woohoo to a new decade.

    Thank you! I actually sent you a message a while back telling you about the daily weighing challenge I'm in along with a few other people here. We do it for 10 days at a time. I'll send you the link again in a private message.

    So I got another scale because the numbers were too good to be true. I went up a pound, but I also see crazy muscle coming in. Gonna attempt to lose three more pounds in this month at least ! Then my final five hopefully next month.

    Thank you, Connie! It's a bit of struggle with the late night snacking for me but I'm trying to get a handle on it.

    •Lose 5 lbs in January 2019•

    December 2018 - Lost 2.4lbs 😃

    Original starting wgt: 253
    January starting weight: 178 (fluid retention)
    January goal: 170
    ❄Updating every day through January until completely back on track.

    •Monday Updates•📌
    1/01- 178 - Oh yeah, midnight eating and a little champagne. My weight is between 174 & 175 this is fluid.
    1/102 - 177.2
    1/03 - 175.8
    1/04 - 177.6 - Felt miserable all day yesterday with some type of weird allergy cold again. Exercised, ate dinner and went to bed later than usual. Now gut is upset. What the what?!
    1/05 -177.2 - Had no appetite most of the day yesterday, runny nose, gut in an uproar, whole 9 yards of misery. Took some cold medicine late afternoon and then proceeded to overeat cookies.😦
    1/06 - 178.2 - Still with the carb craziness!
    📌 1/07 - 177.2 - Coming back down. This "allergy cold" still hanging on. I will be staying under 20 grams of carbs today. (That should say net carbs.)
    1/08 - 174.4 - 18g net carbs, 16g net is the plan today.
    1/09 - 174.8 - I did better than planned yesterday, 19g carbs, 12g net. Today's plan is 16g/13g net.
    1/10 - 174 - 20g carbs, 17g net carbs.
    1/11- 172.8 - Yesterday 15g carbs, 12g net carbs.
    1/12 - 173.2 - Yesterday 29g carbs 23g net carbs
    1/13 - 175.2 - 21g carbs, 17g net carbs
    📌 1/14/ - 176.2 - 63g carbs, 57g net carbs - black truffle & olive oil kettle chips was the culprit. Did not want to resist them.😏
    1/15 - 173.2 - on track

    1/16 - 173.8 - on track - 45g carbs 19g net carbs. Since I've had a couple of days of eating something (nuts or those chips!) after my fasting hours began, I've changed my eating window to end a couple of hours later. It seems to be working, but my early weigh ins will read a higher number at the 12th-13th hr fasting point as opposed to the 15th-16th hour.

    1/18 - 172.2 - Mmm, maybe I will see a new decade at the end of the month.
    📌1/21
    📌1/28
    ❄1/31

    Thank you, @tiabirdie56 ! I have to keep my wits about me at night and stay out of the kitchen.

    I'm so impressed with your new low weights! It's very inspiring to see you do so well.

    I stress eat, too. Just hang in there and keep going! I find checking in more often helpful when I'm feeling like I'm struggling. It helps me stay reigned in even if I have a few bad days.

    I hope whatever is stressing you gets resolved. {HUGS}
