The final 25 lbs

Af arrived so I'm expecting a few lbs of water weight! 😫

06/07 : 131.0lbs
07/07 : 130.8lbs
08/07: 129.8lbs
09/07: 129.0lbs
10/07: 129.8lbs

I'm joining in!
Today I'm 158.3 lbs. Need to lose 30 more. I am 5'3", so it sits heavy 😆

Following the advice of @toxicdoll I took a short break from weighing in.

I’m expecting AF to arrive tomorrow, weighed myself this morning:

11/07: 70.9kg

As long as you keep tracking food. I always get ridiculous cravings during that time. Which is worse than temporary water gain. 2 more weeks and I'll be bloated again too.

It's the weekend! Scale moved today substantially to 155, so now I'm thinking of buying a new one sooner.

If I reach 150lb, with water weight gains, by end of summer, I'll be happy. Late fall goal of 140lbs. It will get harder as it gets closer and closer.

And the water weight just keeps on coming. I don't exercise either when AF comes because it hurts too damn much so I'm looking forward to getting back to it. Giving myself the weekend to be a little more relaxed with my exercising and first thing on Monday I'll be getting back to it.

06/07 : 131.0lbs
07/07 : 130.8lbs
08/07: 129.8lbs
09/07: 129.0lbs
10/07: 129.8lbs
11/07: 131.8lbs

I had a rough day yesterday, not showing up on scale today though. Consumed matainance calories for 154lbs via liquor. Only snacked on the protein wrap (by itself) for carby taste and few olives. No fruity drinks. Long term it's ok, just not good for 'quick fix' now.

I've been enjoying the stationery bike, because the humidity is miserable outside.

My ultimate goal is to reach an eating pattern where I only need to undo extras, like last night, through exercise. Do cardio only 3-4 times a week and lift for 3 days.

I actually managed to go to bed last night without any late night snacking. I thought I was going to cave but I somehow kept my mind occupied and passed on the sweet treats.

07/07 : 130.8lbs
08/07: 129.8lbs
09/07: 129.0lbs
10/07: 129.8lbs
11/07: 131.8lbs
12/07: 132.2lbs
13/07: 131.2lbs

Great job!
Water loss (and fat) soon to follow.

I had a miserable day, stomach pains all day and night, but stuck to diet. Trying not to look at scale just in case. I have few things pre occupying my mind all day so snacking hasn't been tempting.

@toxicdoll I really hope you feel better soon. It's really hard to remember that snacking doesn't help to solve your problem when you're in the midst of it. Keep up the great work!

Another 1lb of water loss down.

09/07: 129.0lbs
10/07: 129.8lbs
11/07: 131.8lbs
12/07: 132.2lbs
13/07: 131.2lbs
14/07: 130.2lbs

Hello, I’m on the same boat. I’ve struggled with these 20 pounds. It’s frustrating at times with the fluctuations. Feel free to add me!
CW: 151
GW: 130

Those last lbs are hardest. Good luck! You can do this.

@toxicdoll Water retention is the worst, it makes you feel so bloated and bad about yourself even though it isn't true weight gain.

Finally lost all my water weight I think. Time for the fat loss.

10/07: 129.8lbs
11/07: 131.8lbs
12/07: 132.2lbs
13/07: 131.2lbs
14/07: 130.2lbs
15/07: 128.2lbs

You're out if the woods for now!!

It really does. I think that's why i quit tracking few months back, cause until you see big fat loss, it's always fluctuating same 5lbs up and down.

I feel like I put on so much pressure on myself (vacay goals + daily stressors not diet goals) that I can't even lift anymore 😔. Cardio is still ok. Weight is still down, though I had a mini stress and sleep deprived binge last night. But no desire to repeat. I need a breather today.

I've logged and conqured my emo stage 😂😂😂 (my monthly is right around the corner) Normally I would give up and take a break, but I'm not giving up. It's a new for me. Done my weights today, and on the bike now. Planning on actually getting out of the house for rest of day = less stress snacking.
