May 1 - 178.45/2 - 177.2📌5/6 - 179 - 100g carbs, 96g net carbs. Carbs were: belgian waffles (2) salad dressing, broccoli slaw, strawberry preserves. Trying to just satisfy what my body wants right now, within reason. An increase in carbs, wrong type, but thats what was available.

5/8 - 178.6 - 18g carbs, 10g net carbs. Carbs were: salad, avocado. Downward trend is S-L-O-W, but I feel in control again.

~10 day avg ~ 177.3. Not where I want to be, but thankfully stayed within this decade of weight. ~ Really struggled with finding the right balance of electrolytes. I'm hoping that increasing potassium was the problem all along and my fluid weight continues to drop.
5/14 - 176.2 - Elimination issues, so I'm going to try this psyllium husk powder that I bought last year. I've always been a little wary of it, but I hope it works.

Oct 27.18 joined MFP Start weight 191
May goal 159.9
April loss - 7.7
March total: loss 1.7 lbs - This is all that I lost with a deficit of 18,713 calories
February total calories burned (not the deficit) - 20,350 - loss 1.4 lbs
April 30 - 167.9
May 01 - 165.1 I counted that in the April loss. It made up for February and March
May 02 - 164.3 - Saw this 164 number on April 26, glad to see it again. 5 more pounds to get out of the obese range. Working on it!
I usually keep it simple, calories in, calories out, and deficit. My change had been that I started to have greek yoghurt because with my dental issues it was a nice soft thing to have. I wonder if that has made the difference.
May 03 - 163.2 - I really stayed in bed late today and weighed before drinking water. I guess more time between eating and weighing myself. Planned night out, dinner, drinks, a concert.
May 04 - 165.0 - Pretty much expected, up almost 2 pounds in a day. This is why I rarely go out with friends any more, bad for the waistline. Went out with skinny friends last night argh, they don't have to be careful at all. I will get it back down, but it could take awhile. Oh well, I had a very good time.
May 05 - 166.4 - Back on track, but stuff from Friday is still showing up. Maybe tomorrow will be better : - )
May 06 - 165.6
May 08 - 165.3
May 09 - 165.1
May 10 - 165.0
May 11 - 165.3 - Ready to see a loss!
May 12 - 166.2 - Very large deficits since Friday - digging, tilling, weeding, planting. Slow metabolism, so maybe that will show up Tuesday or Wednesday hopefully. Potato garden today and weeding everywhere.
May 13 - 166.5
May 14 - 165.6
May 15 - 164.3 - I didn't manage to get enough water in yesterday, so the scale is down today.

Update, I haven't quite been meeting my calorie goal but the weight has still been trending down. As long as I stay relatively consistent for my weekly net allowance I should meet the 5lbs goal!

Today's Thoughts: I'm doing ok. Halfway through the month and 2.3 down. I have half a chance to hit goal! My 7 day summaries on FitBit are showing a hit from the road trip. I did start getting back on track. And, then, well, life. Work has been nuts. I've been powering through instead of fighting for steps - and it shows. I'm either coming down with something, or in the midst of a pollen attack. I've been slugging instead of exercising, but sometimes you just have to listen to your body. The good news is that the eating plan is almost routine, so I'm staying at my calorie deficits.
I'm feeling a little better today, I'll get some stretching in and shoot for hitting as many of the 250 steps/hour as I can. I'm close to having my work hours for the week, so plan to knock off early and tend to some chores I've been slacking on - that will get me some exercise minutes as well
May Game Plan:- Continue weekly meal planning
- Log daily in MFP - focus on daily calorie deficit goal of 500
- No calorie intake after 8pm
- Hit Fitbit step goal of 5000, then increase to 6000 Seven day average: 2905
- Hit active minutes goal of 25 minutes daily, then increase to 30 Seven day average: 43
- Increase strength building exercise from 6 days to 7 Seven day average: 2
