11255 steps for today
Calorie show to be over
My water coffee balance leaned towards coffe just a wee bit. I'll have to correct that tomorrow. Making a pot of coffee and having a thermos on hand should tilt it enough towards coffee.
Not much exercise today except for steps at work.
Tomorrow will be the gym after church.1 -

The best I can offer is, keep logging your food carefully, give things a while to work, and then make changes one at a time, so that you can figure out what works for you.
Thank you.
I guess my frustration is that I have been trying to work out what works for the last year . I have had thyroid tests. But doc won’t do reverse t3. I exercise and don’t over eat .
I have tried so many things. And I exercise but not as rigorously as I once did.
I’m happy for anyone to check out my food diary if I thought it would help .
I’m not keto but lower cal as I didn’t think keto was helping.
Nothing showed up any of my blood tests either. Some days I can’t believe this can all be just being over 40 and everything slowing down. But I hear it so much that it must be true. You have done amazingly well this month! Keep doing all that you are doing.,
Thanks. Yeah I guess that’s it .
All we can do is our best0 -

So I lost that 1lb... again...
*So, here's the thing. My Fitbit has always told me I burn the candle at both ends and struggle to get all my Zs, but over the past few nights as I've been trying a bit harder to get them, I've been waking up with inexplicable heartburn and sometimes my heart has been racing, like I've just been running for the bus. I normally sleep on my side, so I can help this a bit, but it's clear my lifestyle changes need to be ramped up to have the desired positive health effects, or this might turn into a problem. Hence, I just have to stop drinking, not because I'm addicted, but I can't afford any impediments to my sleep quality and weight loss now.
Thank you all, Mission Slimpossibles for being there for me. I know that with a bit more focus, I can do this!5 -

This has been my lowest week yet. I'm trying to do my own physical therapy on my hips and step a little bit less. This Golden Doodle is still doing a number on me. If it isn't my shoulders, elbows, then its both hips. My new focus is strength training, (somehow I lost muscle at an alarming rate), and second, leash training!!!3 -

@Wishusdonna I know everyone is different but for me sleep is a HUGE piece in the weight loss puzzle. I've been wearing my Fitbit 24/7 for 4 yrs now and keeping a food/wellness diary which has helped me spot the trends.
I weigh myself daily. If I've had a bad sleep (less than 4 hrs combined) my weight is up 2lbs the following morning regardless of how I ate or exercised. Unfortunately it doesn't go back down as quickly as it goes up
I also noticed a jump in my blood sugar if I don't get enough sleep.
I have several health issues (leukemia, heart issues, psoriasis, diabetes, obesity) and poor sleep is one of the causes listed for all of them.
I still have to eat right, count my calories, keep my carbs low and exercise dairy to lose weight but if I do well in all of these areas and don't get enough sleep the scale won't budge

Good tip, thanks @Jactop !0 -
@Wishusdonna -- Good for you, for paying attention now. It's so easy to put things off, and so smart to tackle them!
@Jactop - I am so impressed at your data collection and analysis.
Like the two of you, I have found watching the data is key to figuring out what my body needs.4 -
Thanks, @AustinRuadhain !1

Steps for the last few days:
3/21: 19,680
3/22: 4,945 whoa NVM this is definitely the lowest
was not feeling as motivated to work out but I did 30 min Pilates and some housework.
3/23: 11,563
3/24: 12,022
So I'm starting to get more and more compliments on my weight loss since I've started in January. Total about 20 lbs lost and I would like another 20-25 lbs lost.5 -
