Weigh in week: Week 2 of July
Weigh in day: Wednesday
Previous Weight: 258
Today's Weight: 257.4
While just a very small loss, I was happy when I stepped on the scale this morning that I did not gain weight from all the eating and drinking around the July 4th holiday.
That’s great!1 -
Morning, everyone--and kudos to all for the incredible work we're all doing. I mentioned that I had a miserable day yesterday, fighting inexplicable cravings to snack that I haven't had in MONTHS. On my walk today, I remembered reading about the body's "set point"--the weight at which the body fights ferociously to prevent further weight loss. The hormone that gives us that feeling of satiety and fullness is reduced, fat burning is reduced as our body tries to 'protect' us. Wondering if yesterday I was fighting a battle with myself about my body's set point? Geez....2

I think hormones can influence cravings and I find just being tired really increases my cravings. However, if I crave something over a few days time, I will often give into the craving if a high quality and reasonable portion is available. Hope things turn around for you.3 -

Better already after a good night’s sleep and some great reading about set points. Thanks for the encouragement! Tomorrow is weigh in day 😳2 -

Brilliant job figuring out that lack of sleep may have been the issue! Thanks @fleetwood1 for pointing at that possibility!
I went off and read a little about the sleep connection. For anyone else interested -- there's a connection to hormones and insulin. Fascinating!
https://www.webmd.com/diet/sleep-and-weight-loss#1
"in a review of 18 studies, researchers found that a lack of sleep led to increased cravings for energy-dense, high-carbohydrate foods.
Sleep deprivation makes you “metabolically groggy," University of Chicago researchers say... So it’s not so much that if you sleep, you’ll lose weight, but that too little sleep hampers your metabolism and contributes to weight gain."3 -

Fantastic info! So much enlightenment and education here with the Slimpossibles!2 -
Got this little gif with a message to “be sure to move a little!”

Check in
Monday - under calories but took the day off from workouts
Tuesday
Calories under - possibly didn’t eat enough early in the day because I was crazy hungry last night
3 mile run in the heat because I didn’t get up early enough in the morning, plus evening workout group
Wednesday
So hungry all day! And tired. And frustrated. I feel like I have been so on track and I’m getting nowhere.
Kickboxing class tonight and that’s it, I’m too tired for a double.3 -

Weigh in day Friday
current weight 218.2
(Sun., Mon., Tue., Wed) Check-in of week 2 July
Food: all food logged but dragging... some under on calories, some over on calories - sodium has been off the chain
Water: 6 or 8 average, some days a little better - interestingly, have noted that all water, extra and otherwise, is just staying and not eliminating with the sodium overload
Exercise: almost none over the past several days
Next Day Goals
Just - reassess with intention and take positive steps to be on track
Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: Be mindful and exercise - it will have to be during the day at work
Drink more water, remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey
This has been a not great week - at all. Sunday we had dinner with friends and I just ate the sausages knowing the sodium would be very high. Monday, high sodium and a 3 hour drive home - Tuesday morning resulted in a significant weight gain that I know is water weight, based on food intake. Still, I have struggled to be at a normal pace all week and not done very well for a myriad of reasons but I know that when I stay focused, I navigate reasons much better. Still very puffy ankles and feel reasonably certain that the retention will remain for several more days and will affect the Friday weigh-in. Well - so it goes. Lagging on logging and not checking in here are definitely factors in not being as focused as needed.3 -

Hang in there! It sounds overall like you are changing course to move in the right direction!2 -
I forgot to check in yesterday
Wednesday check-in
Calories- under, I wasn't feeling like lunch so I skipped it. I figure it balances with the day before since I ate too much that day.
Exercise- elliptical, recumbent bike, weight lifting
Today
Calories- hopefully under, I'm going out to dinner after a doctor's appointment
Exercise- recumbent bike if I'm home in time.

What a great day yesterday! I hope the doctor's appointment today goes smoothly.1 -
Thursday Check in
Calories: under and 23 net carbs
Water: over
Exercise: 50 minute cardio program on the treadmill
Today was a good day and I fasted for just over 19 hours. Tomorrow night we are going to dinner at the bosses house and I have no idea what will be on the menu. This will be one of those times when I will just have to eat what I'm given and deal with it. I do plan to fast as long as I can tomorrow and keep it to no carbs before the dinner to help balance out my new plan. I got this!!
