    @booksnbrains: why not try an IF as @l4a_p has suggested before? It might be what you need to break the cycle.

    Happy Monday! @weatherking2019 - you look great!

    Little bit of a slump battling mind cold - but earaches & congestion really have me not wanting to work out. Somehow I've kinked up my left shoulder/neck so push up challenge is out for the week. :-/ Just trying to concentrate on maintenance and getting some fresh air daily. I DO NOT have time to be sick right now. It's not THAT bad, just super annoying! I'm just determined not to quit. It will get better.

    I was a little more indulgent with my diet this weekend then I was during the week but still stayed under my daily calorie goal. Nevertheless, I gained 2 lbs between Friday and Monday. Disheartening :(

    I've been tracking everything, and feeling good. My workouts have been going great. I'm sure some of it is just water with the adjustments to my diet, but my pants are also getting really loose, there's definite losses happening. Still hitting my target calories though, and not feeling particularly hungry, so maybe just the sweet spot for my body to finally let some of this go!

    Wow! You've had an amazing month!! Way to go!

    Goal#1: Log consistently and accurately! Even on the weekends when I typically overeat and don't track.
    Goal#2: Do 20 min of cardio at least daily, take 2-3 long dog walks a week.

    I have been logging as accurately as I can using my food scale and weighing myself first thing each morning. I have been staying within my calorie budget daily + exercising and I'm still gaining. I know its only been a week but its pretty discouraging.

    @YoureAWalnut Where in your cycle are you? I gain a few days before I am due on, and then also find I’m a little heavier around ovulation.

    Umm, I don't really know. I never kept good track and I've had an IUD for 4 years now so haven't had my period for like 3 years. I don't get cramps anymore since the IUD (I had horrible ones for years) so not really sure what symptoms to monitor
