I, too, have pretty much eaten the same breakfast for 8 years (with the exception of when we are away on vacation). It is my porridge concoction labeled as a "meal" in MFP consisting of oatmeal, flaxmeal, craisins or raisins, and walnuts. Agreed! Keeping it simple and logging before you consume is paramount to staying within the parameters one sets as daily goals.Keeping it simple and pre-logging have been very important, both in getting to goal and maintaining after.9 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 20 minute walk during my work break
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and slightly under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!
Congrats, @am_change!
I echo the same sentiments as @ForAmanda222 and @Fitphoenix -- I prelog all my food every morning and I tend to eat a lot of the same things. I literally have the same smoothie for breakfast every morning, eat about the same snacks, and rotate through two or three different salads for lunch during the work week. For dinner, I make a menu every Saturday or Sunday and food shop for the week. That helps to keep me on track and makes surprises very limited.
@RangerRickL -- I am still battling horrible bloat today, which is why I barely worked out. My TOM can make me very bloated, but I think it's worse this month because we're experiencing triple-digit heat right now, which also causes my body to bloat. All in all, it's not a good time for my abs right now! LOL
But this too shall pass ... eventually! 6 -

Yes x 3, exercise was interval walk/run
As to water retention, I agree with you Rick that drinking plenty of water is a good idea. I wouldn’t take a diuretic just to get the scales to move, but I’ve caught myself playing dehydration games: Eating a big feast of asparagus, exercising before bed (not enough time to rehydrate properly), weighing in after drinking alcohol or having the stomach flu, eating virtually no carbs etc.
I love this challenge because all the emphasis is on good habits, not on weight. No impetus to manipulate hydration levels.3 -
