Sorry I'm late with my weekly weigh-in! I'm still around, still exercising and tracking my calorie intake. There has been a lot of family birthdays this last week, which has meant a lot of cake and sweets - so I'm surprised I haven't gained! Can't seem to get under that 84kg mark though yet, despite reaching my 40 day streak mark on MFP the other day (which has been mostly under my cal budget)! Hope everyone is doing okay.

I'll take it.
Now need to master the dreaded weekend. I've been eating terribly every weekend since starting and can't seem to get that under control. I think that's really holding me back so I'm going to try my hardest this weekend.
88 kg is my 'stuck weight' (for years managed to lose till 88 and then gave up when things slowed down to a trickle) were my body likes to stay so if I can successfully beat 88 I'll be very happy!7 -

I find the weekends hard as well. It's easy when you plan your lunch ahead to take to work because the availability of bad food choices isn't as prevalent, but the weekend.... For me, that's when the wine with dinner and bacon for breakfast shows up. If you can keep up the discipline for those couple extra days, you'll beat that 88! I'm the same as you, my body likes to sit around 220lbs. When I get up to 240 I do something about it and when I get down to 190, I call it a success and return to old habits until I make a full pendulum swing back the other way. The first 20lbs are the easiest to lose cause you're freshly motivated but once it starts to plateau it can be discouraging. You seem to have a plan so I totally believe you'll do it and 88 will just be a blip in the radar within a few weeks

Yesterday was good, checked all the boxes...
Went to see my new primary care Dr yesterday, I like her so far... I have to schedule a blood draw to test everything so I am hoping my cholesterol numbers went down...
@Pearl4686 I hear ya on the weekends, I do terrible on the weekends, and to be honest I gave up trying to be perfect, and I allow myself a free day on Saturday within reason, although sometimes, I do go a little overboard, and then on Sunday, it's been working out with Football that I just do one meal for the day even if it's chili cheese dogs, and loaded tots.. lol so thats been working well.. I figure I am never going to get it right on the weekends, and thats just how my life is, sure I could try and try, but it's not sustainable for me, my life works where my weekdays can be on point, but my weekends not so much, so I can only work with what I have because I will be doing this well past getting to goal weight, so may as well work it in a style that works best for me, and doesn't make me feel like a failure every weekend...
Tomorrow I am going to spend the day with my GF who lives in SoMD, we've been friends for 30+ years, and she has the coolest she shed, it has a hanging bed/ hang out spot, and a craft area.. We are going to have a Practical Magic party with a couple of other GF's and make Midnight Margaritas, lol... I'm so excited a girls night will be good !
Hope you guys have a great weekend !

Friday Weigh-in
PW: 189.2
CW: 186.1
Happy with this week! I have definitely earned my waffle breakfast for tomorrow. I might even make a cocktail tonight - I have a set of skull ice cube molds and I've been freezing them all month but barely used them, and they look great in a drink. I definitely agree with the above posts about the weekends - it's a struggle (she says, as she plans happy hour and a carb-filled brunch
).
I will actually log this weight on my MFP page - I'm pretty bad at updating in the app, since I keep track of so many things on my own in excel. But this is definitely lower than when I last logged in June. Woo!
Do you guys log your weight on your weigh-in day each week on the app? Other days? Randomly? Not sure what makes the most sense for me.7 -
That is one impressive weigh-in! Woo!Friday Weigh-in

I log on mfp weekly as I like to see the graph. Mine looks quite mountainous with lots of peaks but overall is trending down and that is a good motivator.3 -
Hi,
Weekends are similar for me with wanting something delicious 😋 I am probably more on par with @Gidgitgoescrazy, fewer meals but more calorie dense. If I can get my husband on the same page as me, the weekends are better. If he knows we're having brunch and a special dinner ahead of time he doesn't make more requests during the day. That helps! I just do low calorie snacks on those days. Other weekends I stay more balanced but it just depends.
I change my weight in MFP when I hit a new low. Recently I had to increase it because I bounced up a few pounds and was totally stuck there. Hopefully I will get to put a new low in soon🤞3 -

This has been a difficult week. Lots of stress, emotional eating, lack of sleep. So I'm actually pleased it wasn't worse.4 -
It is a wild and windy night (dark and stormy? no precipitation but howling out there!) and the week will be wrapping up tomorrow. There have been a lot of great suggestions this week for videos, podcasts, websites, how to deal with weekends, and the usual ups and downs. If you have a minute to go back and re-read a bit, I highly recommend it. And you'll get another chance to see the heron posted by @micki48 yesterday! I think it is a little blue heron, in any case. It is beautiful.
I'm going to see how my healing posterior will put up with some time on the exercise bike - enough of this "take it easy for a couple of days"!

I log my weight each week. Seeing the graph and trend is helpful to me. If I happen to weigh other days, I usually don't log it.
Did a little walk with a little walker to the end of our street today. Not much else beyond that except my PT. Not at my step goal yet today, but I'll try to get there. Not feeling real hopeful about my weigh in tomorrow. It's been a stress eating week. I am thinking about taking a pass. We'll see. I don't want a gain to hurt the team. I have no idea where I am as I don't get on the scale usually during the week.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.0 -
@jugar I am taking this week off from weighing in. I need a break from my scale and I also raised my calories by 500 a day temporarily to counter the I've been on a diet forever feeling. I wanted to give myself a break without worrying about the scale. I am doing lighter exercise and making sure I get 8 hours of sleep. I will give you a weigh in next Thursday or Friday and be back at it for November. I just needed a moment.5

I'm very happy I've lost a bit this week as I had a couple of wobbly days mid-week, but think I made up for it the past two days with some hard work at the gym.
As it's Saturday, I've just made myself and fiance banana pancakes - hopefully I haven't undone the good! (They were super delicious though, and a healthy-ish oat recipe rather than flour )
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend - any nice plans? We are off to Canterbury next week for a few days, which is an ancient cathedral city in South East England. We were originally planning on Scotland but they are currently under lockdown so we had to change. I think it will do us both good to have a little break but I am hoping I don't wreck my progress!6 -

Good morning all. I'm still not logging but trying to watch what I eat - fell back one day into eating like I might have last year and being more aware now, I can see how it all caught up to me over the years. I've been focusing on my fitbit and watching heart rate and seeing my evening walks and how the heart rate fluctuates. I found a cool feature I hadn't ever tapped to before. Tap your calories from the main page, then tap the calories that come up for the day, a monochrome chart comes up that shows your day - tap that yet again and a color chart comes up and you can tap on individual bars that represent 15 minute increments and tells you how many calories were lost in that 15 minutes. Pretty cool and I was trying to see how much my 2 hour woodland march burned yesterday.
Off to try to finish up 3 garden clients now - mostly cut back at this point. Have a great day, hope the sun is shining in your part of the world.6 -

Prepare for next week's fabulous BIG dance - you will hit onederland, I know you will! You are so close (200.6 lbs) and since our celebrations are in pounds, next week will be your week. You will wear the most gaudy tiara and we will all dance with you!
Have a great time in Canterbury - it is almost as dramatic as Scotland

I'm losing weight verrry slowly right now. Probably won't see another real drop until the next shark week. But I'm still visibly shrinking so I'll be OK.
Today I'm a little messed up, plus we had a massive snowstorm yesterday, so I took a lazy day. Tomorrow will be better.6 -
SO many people are having trouble getting on to the mfp community ====== I will probably delay the tallies on Sunday morning. Weigh in as soon as you can! Thanks

I had trouble getting on the community page until after 10pm Sunday. Tried randomly since Saturday night. Hopefully it's sorted out!1 -
