    Sorry I disappeared for awhile - and missed weigh-in. I had 9 straight work days of 10 - 12 hours which were actually pretty spectacular and left me on an emotional high. Most of those days were too busy to eat lunch. The following week I started to crash and overate and was in a bit of a fog. I'm settling back to "normal" and actually am on track for a loss this week. It's good to be back!

    I have had an active last couple days. I will not be repeating today. Baby boy had shots yesterday and is SUPER cranky and clingy today. I am hoping to break 10k.

    I stepped on the scales this am. I am 1.4 lbs up from last Saturday. I am not freaking out. Why not? My calories have been on point. I know I have not eaten 4900 calories over maintenance. As you see below, I have been more than on point with steps. What is off?? NaCl!!! Sodium! I had Taco Bell Saturday night. I had fajitas at a Mexican Restaurant Sunday. I had left over fajitas yesterday and making a salad with the last of them today. I did not have the tortillas, just the meat and veggies -- but sodium. I have a feeling this will be gone along with a little more by my Saturday weigh in. If it is not, I will only be upset bc I committed to a loss.

    I don't think you can delete -- just type over. Your weigh in originally posted twice, right?

    @Beka3695 loving the almost equal step numbers, nice!

    @biketheworld hope things calm down at work from here :)

    I'll be weighing in tomorrow for my Sept start weight. I'll also be drinking wine and eating snacks tonight.....But have seen a couple of lbs disappear from the shocking weigh in after my month or more off track and maybe 2 without logging..... I'm not committing to full commitment until September 1st but it feels good to be finding my way back!

    This is bad. Really bad.
    CW: 234.6

    So what happened here is a Chinese food pigout and caked/ice cream for my bro's bday. Water retention went way up, not surprised. It's always bad with Chinese food, lol. But dang so delish!!! LOL.

    Good Afternoon. I am really beginning to get used to the empty nest again... and working on an actual schedule.
    Dog: One trip out in the morning and one trip out at bed.
    Sleep: This one I am struggling on... Goal starting next week, be in bed with everything off before 1130. Get up at 7am, take dog out, and go walk/jog/run for an hour.
    Possums: I need to start to add in raw foods like drumsticks. This will be interesting.
    Food: No bread/pasta.... Meal prep Sundays. Morning: Coffee and Water. Lunch: Salads... Dinner: heck, i dont really know yet. Dinner I do tend to struggle with.

    I highly doubt you actually gained 5 lbs and don't stress it. Life is for celebrations. You'll be back on it next week

    Welcome Holly @newme646 !!!

    Thursday Check In:

    The next couple weeks will be trying... I will be making multiple trips back home to deal with the home repairs. I get completely off schedule when I go home. On travel days, exercise is almost impossible. I will have to make the best of it and just do what I can. I have already scheduled a Saturday sweat session with my non MFP BF. Sunday will likely be a rest/reconnect day. Monday I have multiple meetings scheduled with contractors before leaving at noon heading back to Florida.

    I did step on the scales again today. I am back down to last Saturday's weight. Sodium is flushing. Fingers crossed for a dip for the week!!!

    What does everyone else have going on?

    Hey y’all, I’m Holly and I’m brand new to this group! I’m excited to be a part of shrinking assets and looking forward to following along. I have a goal to lose 50lbs by my 50th birthday and am wholly determined to do so!

    I haven’t been to the gym this week at all! However, I did measure myself for the first time in 2 weeks and lost 1.5 inches on my hips and .5 on my waist, so that’s encouraging.

    Hoping to get to the gym tonight and the rest of the week. Bought a new fly machine yesterday that I would like to find a home for in the gym so I can add that in to weight lifting days!

    This weekend I have 2 parties on Saturday-outside thank goodness it will be back in 70s- first one is going away for a friend and who will be placed on transplant list in OH and may not be back for 1.5 years along w/her mom so family will be divided; second is for annual summer get together w/some good friends.
    I was in a bad place yesterday w/all the riots in Kenosha, WI, not too far from where I live about 30 min away, but today, I'm mentally better so got my workout in and will walk at lunch even though it will be 90🔥🔥🔥

    Just looked back through my diary and I haven't logged consistently since mid May. I've been totally off plan since mid July.....

    I was still shocked and appalled to see 201 on the scales on Monday. It's been a couple if years since I've been in the 200s and I vowed to NEVER get back there. I was battling to get into the 170s and stay there for the first part of the year and then on ensuring I didnt end back in the 190s....

    Well here I am. Line drawn. Back to logging my food. Joined an online workout community and begun their 'new beginnings' programme. Did my first run in MONTHS yesterday. Now to keep all these things going and to be consistent.

    September start weight:
    August 27th 198.8


    I went from 237 to 132. I swore I would never see the 150s again... here I am at 172. Life happens. We got this though!

    I guess we'll see if I can FINALLY break my plateau. I've been working out regularly... now if I could just get rid of my sweet tooth! Wish me luck. I want to be below 130 by the end of Sept. You wouldn't think that is as difficult as it is, but being short, stocky and old with a sweet tooth is a bad combination. 😆

    Woah Nelly! I'm excited about this loss but realize it may be too fast. I will see what happens next week and may need to increase my calorie intake.

    Don’t stress that it is too fast. Your loss will ebb and flow. This is just a flow moment!!
