Weigh in
Last: 246.6
This: 244.4
I am very happy to see this!
9 straight weeks with a weight loss for a total of 10 lbs.
31.1 lbs lost overall. And I am now less than my lowest weight from last summer before I hit a wall and lost motivation.
230’s, I see you 👀4 -

I had a very difficult and disappointing week. Hurt my back at the gym last Thursday doing deadlifts and have been out of the gym and work since then. This has resulted in me being around the house and the food more often. So frustrating because I felt like I was on a good roll there for the past two weeks.
Dont let this little blip up derail you. Life happens. Stay focused. It is a journey, not a sprint.2 -

200-205 is my wall. Its where I lose motivation and usually give up. This time, slowly but surely and brick by brick, my wall is coming down.
First, great loss!
Your observation hits home with me. I looked in my MFP history since 2012. I get to 241 and lose it. I dont want this to happen again. Let’s make a pact that we are both breaking our walls down!3 -
@erikNJ
Thanks for saying great loss but I really just took off what I gained last week. Glad I kept going instead of giving up. Something in my brain wants me to stop here. I havent been under 200 lbs since 2001!
I LOVE the pact idea. We can do it this time!
Ok to add you to my friends?4 -

I will be doing some stepping again tonight. I upgraded to the Fitbit Versa today. That was a *kitten* to get all set up! Oh well! I love it so far, just have to get used to it! I was very excited that I fit the small band, where my charge 2 was a large! I have some strength that I need to get done tonight as well, for one of my challenges! So focusing on that and planning on going to bed early tonight.
@cmhubbard92, now I am scared to get a Versa....I am so tech challenged!! Maybe you can walk me through it if and when I decide to get one? Nice NSV on the band size!!1 -
Mini Challenge
Sunday 5.12.19: No
Monday 5.13.19: Yes
Tuesday 5.14.19: No
Wednesday 5.15.19
Tracked: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: no not really. I did some light housework to get ready for a couple of hours of puppy sitting. I didn't have to chase after the puppy as much as usual. I'm happy that I have been better about keeping under on the calories, though.
@brandi_84, getting the eating under control is the most important thing. You know what they say...you can't out exercise a bad diet!!2 -

@mickey10111, you ARE on a good roll...you just ran into a little road block!! I hope you're not in too much pain!! So you've had your pity party, like most of us would have done in your situation, but now it's over. It's time to focus on what you can do. I don't know what that is exactly, but you need to look for the positives. You may not be able to deadlift right now, but you are in control of what you eat. (hugs)
(My son hurt his back doing deadlifts as well. When I can nail him down, I'll ask him what he did for his recovery, specifically).2 -

I walked so much on holiday that I overestimated how many exercise calories I could eat. I always put weight on when I go on holidays and I usually lose it after a week, but I'm sure that won't happen this time.
I am so annoyed with myself. I really wish that I had been able to weigh myself on holiday - I'm sure that is what has kept me on track up til now
@prehistoricmoongoddess, welcome back! I am glad you enjoyed your holiday, albeit maybe a little too much!! I will transfer your weight over for May, and you can work hard at losing the holiday gain in the meantime!! The weight WILL disappear, but the memories are forever!!
@HASWLRS
I will weigh in next Wednesday. My weight gain must have been water weight as it is coming off rapidly.
I may be back to my last weigh in weight by next week if I am careful but if not I will not be far off.
I think it is important to get back to tracking.
@prehistoricmoongoddess, that is wonderful news that the holiday weight is coming off faster than anticipated!! And you are right, it is important to get back to tracking. So next Wednesday, whatever the scales say, good or bad (or good!), it will become your new re-starting point!!3 -

Weigh in week: Week 3
Weigh in day: Friday
Previous Week's weight: 194.8
Todays Weight: 194.0
.8 lbs lost, I could let this upset me but I won't because it is still a loss and I know more will come off because sore from walking to the school the past 2 days in a hurry. Different hills to climb then my normal walks.
@jlbtnc, Yes, it is still a loss....almost a pound! And added to your almost three pounds lost last week, it still averages out to almost two pounds a week, which is perfect!! And walking hills is great exercise, for your lungs and your butt!!3 -

Struggled big time this week, issues with my son have stressed me out and messed up my 'me' plan, Although I have stayed under calories my choices and nutrition have not been great at all. Topped with lack of motivation to exercise have left me more than a bit down tbh.
Need to try and pull myself out of it. Out with friends on Saturday night so hopefully that will help with my mood and get m out of the rut
********* WEEKLY WEIGH IN ************
PW 181.50
CW 182.50
1lbs gain
116lbs total loss
***************************************
@Tracie_Lord, I am sorry to hear you are stressed out at home and struggling with a lack of motivation to exercise, but don't despair! You are only up a pound from last week, but you are still down six for the month!! You yourself said you have been under in calories, but not making the best food choices. Since many "bad food choices" involve a lot of sodium, that right there could be the culprit!! Hopefully your Saturday night out will be the ultimate mood lifter!! (hugs)2
