Day/Weight/Comment
08/31-208.9 Plan today is for hubby and I to organize the bedroom closet and storage room. Husband started back up on MFP this week. He lost 50lbs easily a couple of years ago just by stopping to eat junk food, but he wasn't ready to make any other changes to lose the next 40-50lbs and he has maintained his weight for the last 3 years. This week he started to track his food and he was shocked on how many calories he was eating.
09/01-208.9 Did not drink a lot of water yesterday and had more snacks then usual. Organized and clean storage room yesterday and working on bedroom today. Ankle still sore, so went out for a walk instead. Strength coach today and then going out to lunch.
09/02-209.8 Had a great lunch at a local mexican restuarant. I didn't drink much water yesterday, so plan for today is to get my water in.
09/03-210.5 Probably still seeing the effects of lunch from 2 days ago. Weight is till trending downwards. Success yesterday is getting my water in. Strength coach today.
09/04-209.8 There goes some of the water weight. Need to still get some more water in this evening.
09/05-210.5 Hardly drank any water yesterday. Working on water intake today.
09/06-210.5 Feeling heavy. My intestinal system still hasn't fully recovered from my vacation from over a month ago.
Weightlifting at the gym tonight.
09/07--209.8 NSV! I was tired yesterday after work and even though I had planned to, I decided not to go to the gym. So when I got home I had dinner and even took a nap. When I woke up from my nap I said to myself that instead of just sitting on the couch and watching tv I should go to the gym. So I ended going to the gym at 8pm, completed my workout, and left just before the gym closed at 9pm. I felt so good when I got home! Going to a wedding today that is a 1 1/2 hour drive away. Plan is to make sure I'm not hungry before I leave for the wedding, bring some snacks, and drink a lot of water.

9/1 197.4 lbs 6h5m/76/11:41pm - ended up doing absolutely nothing for the first time in forever and it felt glorious! Quiet day with the dogs. Even let my Fitbit recharge...
9/2 196.8 lbs 7h7m/84/10:04pm - very active, good sleep. Coincidence? I think not. Though I did over-hydrate and as a consequence, was up a few times, I did fall back to sleep pretty well.
9/3 197.1 lbs 7h18m/88/10:19pm - good workout and otherwise restful; did some stretching and used my foam roller & acupressure mat to help with lingering soreness. Good sleep... want more - lol
9/4 196.2 lbs 5h51m/77/11:46pm - Sunday's activity seems to have paid off. Combat tonight.
9/5 194.7 lbs 6h4m/78/10:42pm - dogs woke me up, so not really an accurate indicator of how long I would have slept... lol Also not sure if I trust the weigh-in, but I got that twice so I'm recording it. Woke up hungry!
9/6 193.6 lbs??? 6h43m/82/10:41pm - Not real sure about that weight, but I got it 4x... still - super happy to finally be seeing some progress. Good workout, rough day at work, decent sleep, of not quite enough. TGIF!
9/7 193.7 lbs 6h11m/70/10:42pm - up for a couple hours in the middle of the night... bah! Had a big cal/carb day - pizza & beer with good friends. As a result, I will adjust Saturday's refeed down. Not gonna sweat this. π

1: 225.6 I didn't log yesterday because we had a family day-trip, but I tried intuitive eating. I guess it worked out pretty well.
2: 226.2 Too many carbs at dinner.
3: 225.4 I'm a bit surprised by this. I had an extra hour in my eating window, increased hunger from TOM, and went significantly over my calorie allowance. But hey, I'll take it!

Round 88 GW: 198
GW: 140
08/31: 203.4(This is my first round. As long as Iβve had MFP on my phone, this is my first week speaking in forums. Iβve been tracking this time for almost a week. Squats and walking 3 miles each day for 10 days. Iβll find my rhythm soon.
09/01: 201.8 Iβm not sure what I did to lose. I went over calories by 85 calories and I didnβt walk my 3 miles yesterday. I did get on the elliptical for 20 minutes but nothing intense. I believe Iβve been building muscle walking on incline and doing squats. Muscle does weigh more than fat so maybe after 11 days of walking/squats my body is finally showing me some results. I did start walking around the same time I started logging calories so I wasnβt seeing any movement or it would go down 2lbs for a day and then go back up 2 days later. I did watch my carbs yesterday and I drank 96 oz water.
09/02: 201
09/03: 203 I missed two days at the gym back-to-back. I couldnβt use my app for a couple of hours yesterday and by the time my phone was working again my calories took a hit. I finished my carb heavy/ calorie heavy brunch and didnβt realize the damage while I was enjoying my meal. No worries as Iβm back on track with the walking and calorie tracking.
9/04: 203.6 I was able to get back on track and walk 3 miles yesterday. I stayed within calories but I did allow myself a small cheat as a snack. Iβm not sure if the increase but Iβm not too concerned. If I stick with trackinf it will pay off on the scale. Happy Trackingπ
09/05: 203.6 I didnβt drop but I didnβt gain. I tracked everything and walked my 3 miles. I may try to switch up my workout. I didnβt eat as much protein as I wanted yesterday but I tracked. Iβm going to review and repeat meals for day 1 and 2 and see if that is the right mix for me. Good Luck everyone.
09/06: 203.4
09/07: 204.3 I had a cheat day yesterday. Iβm on pain meds so thatβs throwing my body off. Iβm still going to track. I didnβt plan right for this challenge. Iβll stick with it until I reach the goal for this challenge. Better late than never.

Round 88 β August 31 to September 9
Female, 5β, 66 years. Fall always seems more like the beginning of a new year for me than Jan.1. Summer is pretty much finished and time to plan what Iβll be involved in for the winter. So I looked back over the last year to see how my weight ups and downs had gone. Itβs pretty obvious: stress = weight gain, increased activity = weight loss, for me. Iβm not ready to go back to the gym till October but goal this round will be to add exercises at home + more yard work (want to be finished with that so much that I can almost taste it β but just have to keep plugging). Other goals β finish log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW β 162.4, GW β 161.4, UGW β 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 β 162.6
09/01 β 162.6
09/02 β 162.8 β Relax day yesterday and did not manage to track or exercise but ate fairly reasonably. Today is already better β made myself do some exercises before breakfast, seems that is the only way to get them in, and decided to make that my habit goal. It seems the only way to keep my waistline from βrelaxing outwardβ is exercise that area. Otherwise my posture goes and waist is bigger even if my weight is the same and Iβm getting other exercise like walking.
09/03 β 162.6 Pretty good day for calories but sadly did not log all. No LNS though, even though I was tempted. Ten min. stretching exercises but not abs. Three hours yard work.
09/04 β 162.8 Logged all, only a peach with fat free yogurt in the evening, warmup exercises but didnβt get any further. About 4.5 hrs. digging out old flower beds. The one spot is such slow going β grass, thyme, moss, lilac suckers, etc. Suddenly had an idea last night after supper β work in a different bed β it went so much faster and could keep working as it got dark because it is under one of the house lights!
09/05 β 163 β Did do my morning exercises but then had to do a βquickβ writing project before working outside. Ended up spending the day on it with a little left for today so no further exercise. Did not log all cals. but most and kept them reasonable.
09/06 β 163.8 β Thought I might have a drop as got a lot of exercise yesterday. Did eat back some of the cals. though. Logged all cals., warmup exercises, 4+ hours digging out flowerbeds. Rainy today and my arm is sore so taking it easy and tidying house.
09/07 β 162.8 β Warm up exercises, no LNS, kept track of eating but MFP would just show the basic screen for logging stuff and would not record so gave up on that. Raining so no outside exercise.

Sleep 7+ hours every day
Commit to Barre 3x a week
Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 137.7, On vacation through Monday so will accept a gain and hope to be back down by the end of the round
09/01 138.3, back home later tonight so food will be back to normal tomorrow.
09/02 138, working my way back down to hopefully match my previous low of 137.6 by mid week.
09/03 137.6, tennis lessons start today with local parks and rec. Iβm taking a beginning class again and hope to be intermediate by the second part of the fall class registration time.
09/04 137.6, loved my tennis lesson yesterday. Today, Iβm going to do an hour on the elliptical
09/05 137.4, snacked a lot yesterday and didnβt eat a real meal. This happens a lot during my TOM where I eat a lot of chocolate and popcorn, which are more tempting to me than during other times of the months. I have to not have certain items in the house next month since there are more filling ways to get calories. On track to see a 136 number this month, but it is a weigh in right after a weekend so itβs not a given unless I keep working hard.
09/06 137.1, attending a gala tonight so will try to keep calories in check as best as I can, but this is a rare occurrence so will enjoy myself too.
09/07 135.8, very surprised to see this number with the amount I ate and drank last night. I expect to see an increase in the next couple of days.

8/31 - 157 - last weekend before work starts again! Forgot my meter, so no numbers. Iβm going to have to stay focused! Weβre going to be busy cleaning out the garage at my SOβs so we can move my stuff in & organize for a garage sale.
9/1 - 156 - more cleaning, purging & organizing today! Combining 2 households is hard work! π
9/2 - 157 - homemade fish fry last night π¬ I had 1 onion ring & 2 hush puppies. They werenβt what I hoped for. But my keto coating was much better than his corn meal coating! Staying the course. Work starts in 2 days! Back home today to work on my place.
9/3 - 157 - holding steady. Today was an off day. Too many carbs. Back to work bright & early tomorrow and no choice but to walk the thin line.
9/4 - 156 - up & out the door before 0600. Hopefully Iβll be home before 2000. Have my first jug of water & plenty of food.
9/5 - 157.5
9/6 - 158
9/7 - 156.5 - the last 2 days at work were awful. The bright side is that I was able to do OMAD. The down side was no βmovementβ for several days and so much stress that I didnβt sleep well. Got to crash last night & sleep in today then out of bed to get things moving. Have to stay strong & focused this weekend so I can finish this 10 days strong. Iβm starting to wonder how the stress hormones are related to cravings. Any insight?9 -

Yesterdayβs stats: 1200 calories in / 2674 calories burned. 61 Net Carbs mainly from my riverside picnic. 17,636 Total Steps & 7.35 Total Miles. 13/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 6 minutes last night & I woke up tired. I did light cabin cleaning and house cleaning for 123 minutes. I hiked for 91 minutes and I danced for 18 minutes last night. Sample song βTo Love Somebodyβ by the Bee Gees. Song was not too fast, but really gets the groove on. ( I know youβll like this one quiltingjaine) I hope everyone who is able will take 3 minutes & dance along. With winter coming in this cold, cold blustery state of Michigan, I know Iβve got to get back in the groove of indoor exercise. Join me!
09/07 β¦..193.4 UNFAIR GAINβ¦.. I had a very severe sugar drop (T2D) last night and had to quickly eat carbs that I would not have eaten otherwise. I quickly ate EXACTLY what my doctor recommended, 1 slice of bread with peanut butter & about 8 oz milk (2%). It definitely felt like I was saving my life when I was poking it in and drinking the milk too. So I am up a bit which feels pretty unfair. Otherwise I had a great day β on point with diet and exercise that Iβd planned. Yesterdayβs stats before the small & quick carb snack: 1118 Calories In / 2460 Calories burned. 32 Net carbs mainly spaghetti squash casserole. 11,850 Total Steps & 5.01 Total Miles. 12/13 Fitbit Step Hours. I slept 4 hours & 12 minutes. I walked at moderate pace for 36 minutes, I did misc yard work, painting & general outdoor chores for 67 minutes. I danced last night for 17 minutes, Sample Song βJealousβ by Nick Jonas. Total extra calories burned 616.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31: 197.8 (+/- 0) I didnβt think yesterday was horrible but I guess it wasnβt great. Weighed in today after my light breakfast. But not gaining is ok by me. Guess Iβll make this a 9 day challenge.
9/1: 199.0 (+1.2) well this challenge isnβt working so much so far. I did good all day yesterday. Even went to a wedding and didnβt eat. Ate McDonalds late but only half the food. Still early. Still hopeful
9/2: 198.2 (-.8) not to bad. Had a good workout yesterday. But ate a lot of junk food in small quantity. Mostly because I had a late lunch/ early dinner and was getting hungry. As long as itβs going down. Hopefully I can get back to my starting weight
9/3: 197.6 (-.6) yesterday wasnβt great but wasnβt horrible. Today is my daughters birthday and sheβs requesting carb overload for birthday dinner. Iβll try to control myself. But sometimes there has to be risk to get a reward.
9/4: 198.0 (+.4) not to bad for celebrating my youngest daughters birthday with carb overload. I did my best to have portion control. But I also hadnβt eaten most of the day knowing most my calories would be going to dinner. Plus also havenβt slept much the past few days. Going to hit the gym and hope I can work it off.
9/5: 198.4 (+.4) guess working out and eating good only lasts for so long. Seems whenever I get to a low and maintain what Iβve been doing my body decides to gain. Iβve had this problem for a long time. Itβs starting to look like Iβll never get where I wish to be. And itβs not just muscle gaining from weight training. Just like my life in general. When I start to see some good light darkness quickly takes over.
9/6: 198.0 (-.4) weighed in kind of late today. Didnβt have much motivation or drive to do it this morning. But I did. No matter the results I will stick through it. And with the help of a few people I will stay positive and keep pushing towards my goal no matter how long it takes. The best results are in the mirror not the scale. And I just have to remind myself of that daily. One day at a time with my accountability partners Iβll get there. Thanks! (They know who they are)
9/7: 197.8 (-.2) had an earlier weigh in than normal today. But a busy day/weekend ahead of me. Hoping I can stay on track or as close as possible.

9/4 180 (-.5) Boot camp and 30 minutes of cardio. Eating clean seems to be working
9/5 181 +1 This challenge and logging my food seem to be working with the weight loss. Hard time finishing my water today. Boot camp and cardio but sat a lot at work.
9/6 180.5 (-.5) felt very sluggish today
9/7 180.5 +/- 0 Did very well up until dinner, Red Robin with the family. Iβm glad that the scale didnβt notice my cheat meal.

08/31 - 123.4 :: was very active and unintentionally ate far lower than my calorie limit because of being busy through out the day. Made healthy choices. Last round was slow progress. This is a kicker to start with.
09/01 - 124.4 :: last drop was surprising, seems numbers evened out. Over calorie limit by < 100 cals. Not very active. Ate healthy.
09/02 - 124.4 :: ate a bit higher than calorie limit, <50 cals. Decently active. Ate healthy. Breakfast choice of Sago was very calorific, be cautious next time.
09/03 - 123.6 :: Ate in calorie limit, ate planned snack and controlled portions. Not very active.
09/04 - 124.4 :: Ate in calorie limit, ate planned snack and controlled portions. Decently active.
09/05 - 125.4 :: Ate under calorie limits, controlled portions. Active. TOM started, hence a little upswing.
09/06 - 125.4 :: Ate in calorie limits, was able to fit cravings in allowed limits. Decently active.
09/07 - 124.4 :: Ate under calorie limits, activity low. Ordered in dinner, too much sodium. Need to track sodium better.

09/05: 307.5 lbs (-0.6) β¦ bit better today. It would have been lower if I hadnβt ate closer to maintenance yesterday. Had a huge appetite for some reason.
09/06: 306.2 lbs (-1.3) β¦ more uptick recovery. Iβve been eating more than usual for the past two days due to an increased appetite. Wednesday was still below budget when accounting for exercise calories and yesterday was a bit over budget. Glad to see that itβs not negatively affecting my morning weigh ins. Completed Couch to 5k Week 4 Day 1 this morning. Jogging intervals were pushed to alternating 3 minutes / 5 minutes, and I certainly felt those longer intervals in my legs.

Day/Weight/Comment
8/31: 224.0 (-1.6)/18.9 (-0.2). A reward from heaven because I finally went to the gym? I went out to dinner with my wife, and split a sandwich with her. It was relatively healthy, but my willingness to portion control was what made my night a success.
9/1: 225.6 (+1.6)/19.1 (+0.2). I did my best last night with what I could regarding food (quality/quantity), at least as much as I could while out at a restaurant I love. It's likely my previous weigh-in was a slight exaggeration (weighed late) and that it was affected by me working out the night before. I'm going to the gym this morning, and I'm going to try my best to keep things under control today (wife's birthday party). If I have alcohol, it will be in the form of a mixed drink or two (spirit + diet soda). Going to the gym this morning (right now) to try to give myself a little wiggle room tonight. Oh, and to get myself into good habits! :-)
9/2: 225.6 (0.0)/19.1 (0.0). I went to bed late last night and got up late this morning, so this number is potentially a little bit under what it should be. I did pretty well yesterday at my wife's birthday party; I planned out what I was going to eat before I ate it (for the most part). I had one beer, but other than that it was all spirits + diet soda. I couldn't resist a tiny slice of the best carrot cake I have ever had (homemade by my sister-in-law). I also hit the gym before going to the party, which made it twice in three days that I made it there. I think I can sustain three times per week: Friday (with my wife), Sunday, and Tuesday, with basketball starting up this coming Saturday. I'll shoot for three times times at the gym, but I'll feel successful even if I can make it twice per week. Coming out of the weekend (particularly given two celebrations for wife's B-Day) still at my starting weight for the round feels like a pretty significant accomplishment.
9/3: 226.0 (+0.4)/19.1 (0.0). This is probably the right number, and not bad for the weekend I just had. I'm feeling okay right now, but this is going to be a stressful week. Trying to stay focused...
9/4: 226.2 (+0.2)/19.2 (+0.1). Last night (and much of my waking hours) was spent worrying about what was going to happen today (I'll talk about that tomorrow). I am pretty sure that I ate within calories (and according to plan), and I know that my weigh-in does not always reflect my previous day's efforts. Eat that, scale!
9/5: 224.0 (-2.2)/18.9 (-0.3). WHOOSH!!!. There's no good reason for this, and who cares!?!?!? I was above my calorie goal yesterday, but below maintenance. I have a lot of workplace stress right now; a coworker is basically trying to get me fired because she did not like that I reported her inappropriate behavior, and I'm being investigated as a result (my stressful day yesterday was meeting with the investigator). I'm going to the gym either tonight or tomorrow night, and basketball is FINALLY BACK! Saturday will be my first time in over two months (problem with gym permit).
9/6: 223.2 (-0.8)/18.8 (-0.1). This is the lowest weight I've been in months. I'm going to try not to get too excited about a number (just as I don't get too upset about a number), but I can't help but feel good about this. On a side note, I HATE the way my body looks as I lose weight. I tend to see losses first in areas I DON'T want to lose (thinning out of legs, shoulders, arms), and I don't see ANY CHANGES around the belly area. Weight training only exaggerates this, unfortunately (I love to lift, both upper and lower body). To make things even more fun, my wife loves to point out changes in my legs in particular (though she has not done this yet during THIS cycle, to her credit). The good news is that I generally know how this process goes. At about 215 my face thins out a bit, and when I get below 210 I start to notice a change in the midsection. I just need to stick with the process and utilize my delayed gratification skills and patience. And continue to stay accountable, of course! This group feels like the only thing that really works for me, in addition to a supportive friend or two (who also happen to be in this group!).
9/7: 223.4 (+0.2)/18.9 (+0.1). I went out for sushi last night and did pretty well. Mostly stuck to sashimi (no rice), clams, and mussels. I got peer-pressured into a three small shots of sake, but overall I'm pretty pleased with the way I handled myself. I did my best to track, but I am pretty sure I overestimated my calories by quite a bit. Basketball happened today, but I'll talk about that tomorrow morning

@quiltingjaine That may have been my one time using the disagree button, but it was GLORIOUS!
@arlak21 Sometimes the scale takes a little longer than you think it would to "notice." You may be right, but be prepared for the possibility of an increase in the next couple of days that does not make any sense to you.
@Anlaing016 Nice comeback! Keep up the great work!5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
08/31 128.4 I'm under a lot of stress and not feeling well. Feeling highly ambivalent about my journey, which is scary. This is what happens to people in maintenance if they're not careful! I'm close enough to goal that I'm slipping in my hard-earned habits simply because I feel mostly good about how I look- tons better, anyway. I need to refocus, come up with some new goals.
09/01 128.4 Going on vacation, and still feeling meh. I should probably take a diet break (did this before by calculating maintenance calories and it worked out well), but... I have a feeling I'm going to come back heavier.
09/02 DNW, on vacation
09/03 130.6 Maybe I needed to go this far- back upward enough (+2.2 lbs and back in the 130s) that I can see the lost progress- in order to get my head back into it. And...THIS is why this challenge works, THIS is why we weigh every day, right, folks? We can catch ourselves mid-fall instead of when we're all the way on the ground, wondering how that 10, 15, 30 lbs creeped up on us. Motivated again!
09/04 128.6 Back into the 120s! Hoping I can keep it here for the rest of the round.
09/05 127 To quote Keanu Reeves from The Matrix (and every other Keanu film), "Whoa."
09/06 128.2 Seven days into this round, I'm back to the day 1 weight. It's good, actually, because this is after a three-day holiday weekend in which I went kinda off the rails. I'm learning how to recover from "off" days without turning them into "off" weeks. In the big picture view, this is progress, guys!
09/07 127.6 Hmmmm, yesterday was In-N-Out for lunch, salmon and kale salad for dinner, ice cream for dessert, and right within my calories. I loved everything I ate, and I'm down today. If I wasn't logging and weighing, I'd never know I could eat an In-N-Out cheeseburger and lose weight!

08/31 126.4 Well the 1.6 lb whoosh at the end of the round went right back up to previous weight so as usual have to wipe out the gain at the beginning before showing anything for the round - LOL. Dinner out the night before was heavy on sodium/carbs (although guesstimated calories were under), so may come back down after a day or so. Tried Xtrain today (20 min spin/tabata body weight exercises)!
09/01 126.4 Well at least it did not go up! Only 2.6 lbs away from Healthy BMI! patience, patience patience...
09/02 126.6 Up, but according to scale the gain is muscle and not body fat so will take this as a plus - LOL. Typical pattern after a whoosh - exercise has been great as well as calories so expect the upward pattern will break in the next day or so. Just to repeat again, but as long as the number of drops/amounts are more than the stalls/increases I will be making forward progress!
09/03 126.6 same. anyway another whoosh... pasta for dinner (aglio & olio with shrimp) with 2 servings of linguine (refeed/cheat day :-) but within macros. Tried foam rolling today for first time! Definitely adding that to my workout repertoire!
09/04 124.8 Back to weight at end of round so breaking even at this point. Spin class and then later this evening some ab work. Hopefully weight will stay around in the 124-125 range and not bounce back up in the 126's. Overall loss rate is still stable.
09/05 125.4 up, but typical, so not worried. NSV is that this is 5 pounds below what MFP or Pacer predicted for this day 5 weeks ago! (neither used exercise calories and I do not eat those back). Saw the nutritionist today and no tweaks to diet/exercise at this point so at current rate should reach goal weight in November and will retest BMR for maintenance plan. Good strength/cardio workout today followed by foam rolling and sauna so hope no DOMS and water retention tomorrow! Need to catch up on sleep - took an hour nap before dinner tonight so going to try to get to bed earlier tonight!
09/06 124.4 Yeah!!! new low! It is my third time to cross milestone 11 (125.0 lbs) on the Happy Scale app so really hoping that this time I stay below 125. - third time is the charm - no? Workout today Latin dance class before work and then a 30 minute spin class during lunch. Calories good for the day, but Fri/Sat are the days I allow wine with dinner/after (if within calorie budget - I split alcohol calories over carb/fat to be accountable) so hoping don't get a bump from that at tomorrow's weigh in. Challenge tomorrow will be that we are having friends over for dinner so will try to get to the gym for XTrain at 9:15 plus weights.
09/07 123.6 Happy Dance!!!! First time weight is below cut off for healthy BMI (25)! (Major STG reached!!!!) Did XTrain this am which may help to balance the dinner tonight with friends. Definitely over budget, but will treat as a refeed/cheat day! Most of meal was within macros, but made Dulce de Leche ice cream with salted macadamia nuts and had to try some! Life is too short to not enjoy treats now and then! Besides there is always the gym tomorrow or the next day. I have had ups, but usually quick to come back off as long as I keep up exercise. Body should definitely be refueled for Weights and Cycle tomorrow!

So I am going to be out of town for the first 3 days of this round to attend my FIL's services. I am not going to have a lot of control over my food choices seeing as I will be eating what my husband's family will be serving and probably a lot of restaurant food. This round I am sure is just going to be another maintenance round for me, which I am fine with. If it takes me losing a pound or two a month until the end of the year to finally reach my goal I am fine with that.
8/31 - no scale out of town
9/1 - no scale out of town
9/2 - no scale out of town
9/3 - 148.7 didn't post yesterday, but did weigh.
9/4 - 146.7 going back down to my normal weight. Should be well under 145 by tomorrow. Was a very stressful weekend, it's so weird how death affects everybody differently. We actually had some lady show up to the services saying she had a will and wanted everything my FIL owned (which by the way isn't a lot,lol). It was so weird and over the top, never expected anything like that. I am just glad to be home and back to some kind of "normal" routine. We had to go grocery shopping after work last night as we had nothing to even cook dinner with. I also had 3 loads of laundry that needed to be done and had to help the 2 youngest finish unpacking. To say the that I am exhausted is a complete under statement. I put a pot roast on for tonight and am planning on picking up a red-box and doing nothing but relaxing. I am working on my water, but other than that my motivation is not great. I'm trying, but half heartily right now and I am ok with that. Glad to be back and just have some accountability at this point.
9/5 - 145.1 And we continue the water/sodium/stress loss. Maybe I will be back to my pre-4 day trip out of town weight tomorrow (143.6). I have just been working on water intake and eating at home since I have been back. I have not eaten at a deficit once and don't really plan on doing it till probably the next round. Tomorrow starts my birthday weekend and after the last couple of weeks I just need to have a little fun and relax. So far I have been able to maintain even with my crazy spikes between 142-144 for the last couple of weeks as long as I drink my water and don't go crazy with eating out.
9/6 - 145.1 Was really expecting to be lower, but am ok with being here. I am still on my diet break and am just trying to work on maintaining at this point. I am only about 10 pounds away from my ultimate goal right now, but have zero motivation. So I am hoping after this little break and after my birthday I will get it back and be able to get rid of these last couple vanity pounds that I still have. I am still eating low calorie dinners and lunches, drinking plenty of water, and watching my snacks. My breakfast is the only thing I have upped in calories, but not by much and my carbs have been higher.
9/7/- 143.8 this is where I thought I would have been yesterday. Iβm trying to work on maintenance right now, so hopefully I keep it together this weekend.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
