@SamanthaLouiseMence, Congrats on reaching your 5lb loss! "What is going on?" I think your body is saying the same and trying to catch up a bit.
@tramaine_21, Wishing you much success with your fasting and return to keto!
Thank you!!1 -

January 26th -
Stayed the same, and kind of surprised no gain. I have had a cold, sinus/sinus infection issue on and off since Thanksgiving. I just cannot seem to shake it entirely. So I admit when I feel crappy, I have not been doing a real good job of meal prep. And not weighing everything like I know I have to. Making sure I am getting water in. And doing okay with exercise but even that is lacking. But I keep telling myself stay on track, log what you eat, this too will pass. Must not listen to the evil troublemaker on shoulder, suggesting a Starbucks trip.

Happy Sunday, everyone!
Last week I said, "You don't have to do drastic things. Make small changes, they are more likely to stick."
Putting my words into practice. Sticking to my calorie goal, AND making sure to walk more. It is working. That is encouraging. Went to the park and walked in the rain yesterday. Today it is really cold and windy.... Might be harder to push myself. Once you get on a roll though, it is motivating to keep going. It is early yet, maybe the wind will subside later...
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.
Goal: 180 in however long it takes.
Weekly averages:
December 24 - 31: 199.1... OK kids, party time is OVER!
December 30 - January 6th: 199.8 -Rut roh!!
January 7 - January 13: 199.4. Moving in the right direction again.
January 14 - January 20: 198.3. That's more like it!
Loss for January: 0.8 lbs.
MFP Loss: 34.7 lbs.
Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 44.7 lbs.
Until next week...
Move more, eat less.

I've been eating like a crazy person; kind of like eating my "last meals" "treats"--maybe not for good--just not having the junk for a long time. Almond and Coconut flour are going to be my new best friends! I'm excited! This is the year I am finally going to get the victory!
P.S. I can tell ya right now my weigh-in won't be great but, that's okay I'm not going to be stuck for long! Let's do this!

We were hit with a snow storm last weekend just before I was able to go grocery shopping. All of the fresh foods were gone and had to deal with whatever was in the house til yesterday. So much salty stuff, portioned out, but still. Back to fresh veggies in the house again so here's hoping this week I can get moving back in the right direction. I've done it 3 times before(then ended up pregnant twice and broke my leg), I can do it again.5 -
Here is to January 2019! I have sustained from alcohol, eating well and working out! Feeling great! Wishing all a wonderful Sunday and to achieving goals in 2019.
January 14th Weigh-in Comments: I am up this week and I am not frusturated nor upset as I am doing everything right: cut out all alcohol, eating healthy and working out. I am drinking ALOT of water to flush out. My body is going through changes since I cut out liquor, I was drinking quite a bit in the past. I definitely feel I will see a drop next week.

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.
January 13th - 181.4
January 14th - 181.7
January 15th - 181.6
January 16th - 180.3 - I have seen the 70s twice this month already, but not getting my hopes up just yet. Skating yesterday and again today. I work out every day no matter what, but skating seems to be the difference maker. Maybe because it is so fun and relieves me of stress at the same time as torching lots of calories. 16 days of discipline to lose a 1/2 of a pound is ridiculous.
January 17th - 178.7 - Yay! 2 days of public skating makes such a difference. Wish that I could do it year round, it is the only thing that I enjoy for an entire hour.
January 18th - 178.7 - No skating, so not even .1 of a pound. I did 30 minutes of Zumba yesterday and only managed to eat 1100 calories. Public skating is 3 days per week unless I drive to a different town. Lol, thinking about that!

feeling frustrated but I had 1 meal out and a takeaway night with my friend on saturday. Back to it today and hopefully everything will come right. I was fairly confident that the first weight loss was mainly water weight so 3.2lbs lost so far is still a good result.4 -

Absolutely, Jenn! This is our year!1 -
Day 2 of 7 Extended/Nutritional Fast! Goal is to lose 5 to 7 lbs.
July 2017: 187 (lowest)--Jan 20th 2018: 202.6!! Yikes--a 15 lb-gain over the last six months!
Not good, but it won't last!
It's okay I expected this; I let my appetite loose because I knew it was going to be the last time for a very, very long time that I was going to indulge in the wheat/sugar/junk etc...I ate like this since the holidays, so I'm not surprised. No need to feel sorry for me, I earned it.
Day 2: After 1 day of my fast I can tell I've already lost some water weight and I don't feel as bloated. And, guess what? I don't feel hungry or fatigue, I feel pretty darn good actually! This Southern Gal is going to ride this wave!
