44, 6' trying to maintain at 150. Have to track here for accountability. More water, more low/0 calorie snacks when starving.
I'm hovering around maintenance but was creeping up so here I am. Trying to keep it within 5 lbs of goal

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
Round 132
Month/Day: Weight / Comment
11/13: 208 / So, I have lost 6.8 pounds since Tuesday morning. Goes to show how much of a puffer fish I am. 😊 Going up tomorrow most likely.
And, yesterday included a Culver’s Mini Concrete Mixer…Oreo Flavor.
NSV: I actually pulled a half gallon of ice cream out of the freezer last night…thought about the consequences…and put it back unopened. That’s big for me. HA!
11/14: 207.6 / Sat in a tree stand last night trying to be cupid for the deer. Freezer needs to be restocked. None were close enough, but they looked like they did not need cupid’s help. That time of year. P.S.: I don’t hunt for anything that I will not eat.
11/15: 209.6 /
11/16: 210.2 / I am happy with this for a Monday morning.
11/17: 210.6 / popcorn
11/18: 208.8 / My mom’s birthday today, so a little birthday cake may be on the menu. 😊

ONE Goal - track food and calories faithfully. Stop pretending that handful of peanuts or small bag of chips or 6 tootsie rolls don't matter. I'm a snacker and I've realized that's not going to change. What can change is my prep for snacking. Will spend this weekend making healthy/lo-cal things to snack on to replace chips, cookies, peanuts, etc. I love fruit but sometimes I need the crunch and chew that fruit doesn't provide.
Count days track food and stay under calories:

11/18. 210.6. I got my woosh! Officially down 31 pounds now. I can definitely tell my calorie burns are lower for the same exercise now. I’m struggling to reach my burn on my watch even with a 4 mile walk whereas previously I hit it fairly easily. I need to either amp up my exercise (but not sustainable as I’m already exercising 7-8 hours a week) or cut my calories again in order to see the same results. Bye bye 1800 calories a day.

11/16- 161.8 I know its hardly into 161 but I was excited to see it. I think all the water is helping.
11/17- 160.8 Hummm, not sure whats going on here. I have been below my cal goals for several days.

Round 131 End Weight: 175.9
Round 132 Goals: Continue to Track & Make Healthy Food Choices, Minimize Alcohol, 30 Minutes Intentional Daily Movement, Lose 1.5 pounds
Day/Weight/Comment
11/13: 175.9 No change from yesterday but that was a big drop, so no worries there. On track with logging and staying at a deficit, AF currently on a 5 day streak (no plans to drink any time soon), and eating IF 16/8.
11/14: 175.7 A little drop from yesterday, so that's good! I was super tired yesterday when I woke up. My FitBit showed 41 times "awake" and 51 times "restless" during the previous night's sleep, so even though I know that FitBit sleep data isn't 100% accurate, I for sure had a bad night. Not enough sleep is a definite sabotage for me and while I wanted to give in and eat junk & drink wine, I did not and stayed the course, AF, IF 16/8, and all healthy food choices in a deficit. Other than that it was a dreary raining day, so I took a rest day but will be out running today.
11/15: 175.4 Had a nice long sleep in yesterday morning and then went for my run. Run felt pretty good but I'm a minute off where I would like my pace to be, but I'll keep plugging away and get there. NSV of the day, I made homemade pumpkin bread, logged the recipe and had a just a small slice that fit in my calories and was still at a deficit (I don't eat any exercise calories back unless I am distant running). Still AF and IF 16/8.
11/16: 174.6 Nice drop and puts me officially back in the "overweight" category, and out of the the much more upsetting category I've been hovering in since quarantine started. I will not go back to that! My AF streak continues and still IF 16/8 for eating.
11/17: 174.6 No Change from yesterday. Feeling a little bloated from yesterday, thinking too much sodium in my dinner. Lots of fluids today! Waiting for it to warm up a bit and then planning on getting a run in on my lunch hour. I need 6 more runs before our Turkey Trot next week. I've also got my local Turkey Trot that I normally do, which is also a virtual event this year. I'll miss lining up with everyone on Thanksgiving morning to run but I won't miss having to do it so early, it is usually about 19 degrees F when that race starts!
11/18: 174.5 Feels like it will be forever before I am out of the 170's at this rate, but progress is progress and I will get there eventually! Not a great run yesterday but still did it, will be back running again today. AF, IF 16/8.

Yesterday was a good day all around — low calories, no snacks, and a nice 3.5 mile walk along the river and hit my first Turkey Trot goal. I’m aiming for 4 miles today. I’m feeling energized! 🏃🏽♀️
11/14 - 182.8 - 1118
Yesterday was fine overall. I didn’t do my long walk but did several shorties, though I’m not counting them toward my Turkey Trot goals. Planning at least 4 miles today on my favorite stretch of the Rivergreenway. When I was there Thursday, among other treats I saw an old sycamore FULL of birds (couldn’t see what they were with the sun in my eyes) and a gorgeous big abandoned hornets’ nest suspended from a branch and visible now that the leaves have fallen. I’m taking my camera today!
Enjoy your Saturday. Be safe!
11/15 - 182.6 — 1157
More short walks yesterday, probably a couple of miles worth. I won’t be out today — rain and very high winds. I have plenty to do inside, so all good. Have a lovely Sunday, all!
11/16 - 182.2 — 1216
No walk yesterday — we had temps in the low 30s and high winds all day with 60 mph gusts. Today is chilly but without the wind, so I’m aiming for at least 3 miles.
11/17 - 182 - 1295
I went for a lovely 4.25-mile walk yesterday on a new-to-me trail. The full trail is 4.5 miles, so one of my goals is to walk it all the way out and back. Probably not until spring, though. I ate a little more than I have been eating the past few days, but still well below maintenance, and no snacking! Yay! It’s really chilly today, but I’m going to try to get at least a short walk in this afternoon. I’m feeling much more in control, finally!
11/18 - 182.4 - 1127
Salty day yesterday, so I’m sure this is water. I’ve kept my calories very low this round. Yay! I skipped the long walk yesterday because my knee was hurting, but I’m aiming for at least 8K/5 miles today, lots of water, and low sodium. It’ll all come out in the wash!

Second round for me on this thread. Lost two pounds the first pass and hope to continue the trend. 10 days is perfect because at the end of the round, my eldest returns from California for a Thanksgiving visit and I’d like to show some significant progress going into the holiday. Working toward a Tough turkey trot challenge with my sister and sister-in-law for later in the month, so going to switch up riding to walking/jogging.

SW (01/01/2020)/UGW: 233 / 165
SW/GW Round 132: 188 / 185
Goals.
1. 3 x Walk (maybe jog a little) 5k
2. 3 x Strength training
3. Log daily food/water intake
4. Eat at 500 Calorie deficit (<1575 kcals)
Day/Weight/Comment for previous day
11/13 187.3 / A nice start right out the gate for little to no effort on my part. Logged food and water, but ate above my target since I was home all day working on a project.
11/14 186.5 / No rain! Finally able to take the bike out of the garage for a nice ride and mow the lawn. Food was a bit all over the place as riding pushed my appetite upward, but surprisingly, I was under 2,500 calories for the day (1,500 below my adjusted target).
11/15 185.3 / Another ride and I walked the 5k (52:06). Logged food/drink and was at deficit. Tighter on the food; though I did enjoy a bit of ice cream with cashews in the evening. Did a bit of strength training with dumbbells (not much, but it’s a start). I’m happy with the loss, but I’m still a hair above my lowest recorded weight (185.1 on 10/11) since I started this in January. Need to stay focused so I can push past it and make some progress toward a ‘healthy’ weight of 181 by Thanksgiving. Not sure I can keep this pace up, but it’ll be fun trying!
11/16 187.5 / Rode 22 miles on the bike and did a little more arm and shoulder training. Logged all food and water and, though I ate back some of the exercise calories, I was at considerable deficit for the day. Being so close to 185, only to pull back, has fueled my determination. As my fat% dropped, I'm guessing I'm holding onto a bit of water weight from the rotisserie chicken and potato salad I ate last night. No worries, I'll just have to lose it tomorrow...
11/17 189.7 / Didn’t get a chance to ride today and it apparently shows. Geez scale. Logged my food and water. Although yesterday ran a bit high, it was all good protein and veggies (Mediterranean dinner at home). Not the direction I was hoping for, but my Fat% dropped even further, so I guess I’m just in for a bumpy ride for a few days. On a positive note, I’m clearly fueled up for a long ride on the bicycle and, between the cooler weather and Kalamati olives, I shouldn’t have any issues with dehydrating. @biketheworld, Florida offers me a much longer season than I saw in New York and I like to take advantage of it. Biking around the world sounds like a lot of fun (once rode beefed up bikes down Mt. Haleakala in Hawaii; it’s a thing), though my riding of late has been largely utilitarian and repetitious. It certainly sounds like a good goal!
11/18 189 / Still stuck on projects in the house and didn’t get out to ride, but it looks like the weight is receding a bit. Still unsettlingly being above my starting weight for this round, but I’ve still got a few days to catch up and make some progress.

Day/Weight/BF%/comment
11/14: 219.6 (-1.0)/28.8 (-0.3). I am going to do some strength training today, even if it means using a crappy machine, body weight exercises, and some rubber bands. It's time. Being here is great, but exercise is the other main ingredient in my overall health and fitness. Time to step it up.
11/15: 219.2 (-0.4)/28.8 (0.0). I actually exercised yesterday. I did not do a ton of stuff, but I hit most body parts, and I put a decent effort in. I'm definitely feeling it this morning. Knowing myself and my body, I'm going to shoot for twice per week to start; depending on how long this feeling lasts, I might even wait until Friday or so to allow myself to recover (after such a long layoff).
11/16: 219.8 (+0.6)/28.9 (+0.1). I think this is more due to weighing in earlier during the work week than I do on the weekend. I'm not feeling super-sore today; I may try exercising again today.
11/17: 218.4 (-1.4)/28.6 (-0.3). This is a nice drop. I've been REALLY good with my diet. Last night I was pretty sore from working out recently, but I MIGHT try to exercise again tonight. No matter what, I'll get some exercise in either tonight or tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well (or at least okay).
11/18: 218.2 (-0.2)/28.5 (-0.1). I was exhausted yesterday, and I'm not completely sure why. Yes, there's still stress at work. COVID-19 still sucks. But I basically napped for 3-4 hours after dinner, stayed up for an hour or so, then went to bed (and slept through the night). Weird. I have a little headache this morning, and I have a LOT of work to do. Food was easy yesterday. On-plan all day, and I continue to cut down on "unnecessary" snacking.

I will keep my eye on the prize but 192 keeps getting further and further away. For three years before I the weight came on in earnest, I maintained between 188 and 192. I want it back!

11/17 195.8 under the weather today. No workout this far. Kids sick.
11/18 194.0 Drank a lot of water yesterday. Attempting to flush out this head cold. Definitely a head cold. Questionable about this number because my health is not at 100%.

11/18. 210.6. I got my woosh! Officially down 31 pounds now. I can definitely tell my calorie burns are lower for the same exercise now. I’m struggling to reach my burn on my watch even with a 4 mile walk whereas previously I hit it fairly easily. I need to either amp up my exercise (but not sustainable as I’m already exercising 7-8 hours a week) or cut my calories again in order to see the same results. Bye bye 1800 calories a day.
@Zondeare
Weight loss slows down at some point (it's easier when you have more to lose), but further cutting calories is not the only way to can address this issue. You may not have more time to exercise, but you can always increase the intensity of your exercise. That can mean going from walking to a walk/jog. It could be adding strength training into your routine if it's not there already, or increasing the intensity if it is. Particularly regarding strength training... it's incredibly underrated when it comes to weight loss.3 -
@cpanus WOW! Talk about picking up the pace! Great job walking!2

Round 132
Age: 39
Height: 5’ 3”
SW: 163
CW: 139.6
GW: 125
GW for this round: 138
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Round 129 (4): 148.0 to 146.0 (-2.0 lbs)
Round 130 (5): 146.0 to 144.4 (-1.6 lbs)
Round 131 (6): 144.4 to 139.6 (-4.8 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 1.5 lbs
- Run/walk my evening walk with the dog to work up to a 5K by Thanksgiving
- Start a body weight strength training program 3x a week
11/13 - 140.2 - Slight increase from the end of last round, but not surprising given my recent drops. Feeling very tired today too, so I cut my morning workout down.
Turkey Trot 5K - I tried to run the 1.6 mile route last night, but the doggie didn’t want to come with me! She was more interested in sniffing and I had to cajole her the whole way. This might require a new plan. 😂
11/14 - 140.4 - One of the things I love about this group (on top of the awesome support and accountability) is having all these notes for reference. I had a super hungry day yesterday - ate all my planned calories, within my usual macros and was still so hungry. So I looked back at my notes from previous rounds - and the same thing happened almost exactly a month ago right before my TOM. That let me relax about it, and warned me that my weight probably was going to hold today and go up for the next few days. But it’s just hormones/water retention and it will be back down again soon.
Turkey Trot 5K - 1.5 mile walk last night. Will try to do a 1.5 mile walk with the dog tonight, then drop her off and run the route a second time.
11/15 - 140.8 - The scale is what it is this morning. Was high on calories yesterday (1,800 instead of 1,600) - just kept snacking - but I did get two good workouts in so I feel less guilty about it. Thought I’d take it easy today, but then DH proposed taking the kids on a hike - so I got in a 3 mile hike (which involved either pushing a 30 lb toddler in a stroller, controlling a 50+ lb dog who did NOT want to heel, or carrying said 30 lb toddler when he refused to go back in the stroller after he got the taste of freedom.) So much for a rest day!
Turkey Trot 5K - Did 2.57 miles last night - walked the first 1.57 with the dog, then ran another mile. Just wasn’t quite feeling up to doing the full 1.57 running, but I’ll get there.
11/16 - 141.4 - Ok, the scale can go back down any time now. 😣 Even knowing the “why” doesn’t make it easy to see that number in the morning. Not feeling great today so I only did about 45 minutes of cardio this morning. Will have to try and do the strength exercises throughout the day.
- Walked 1.57 miles yesterday.
11/17 - 140.6 - Ok, right direction! Let’s just keep that up. Focusing now on my daughter’s birthday on Friday - she’s been so excited about turning 5 and I want to do everything I can to make it special even without her friends coming over for a party.
11/18 - 140.2 - Back to where I started this round, at least. I’m still sticking to my calories and workouts, so I’m optimistic that the number will continue to go down from here. I may not make my goal this round, but I’m not giving up.
Turkey Trot 5K - Walked/jogged 2 miles last night.

@quiltingjaine When I lost my sister last year, that was that was the final straw for me. She was 5 years older than me with all the same health problems (minus my cancer). I realized it was time to retire and enjoy what life is left. I also need to focus more on my son's training toward better independence. Also, since her death, my weight has just went crazy bad and I found myself with less and less time to focus. It is time to move on for sure! I hope this decision will give me extra years during which I can focus more on health.
It is scary. I am not yet old enough for SS. I have to rely on monthly payments from the sale (pray they pay consistently!) and my savings for a few years. However, I've made some pretty good choices (I believe) over the years so I think I will be okay.
Thanks so much for staying the course with me!

Day/Weight/Comment
11/12 …..207.4….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
11/13 …..207.6….. I was horribly and uncontrollably hungry yesterday. My choices weren’t too bad but the quantities were disgusting.
11/14 …..210.0 ….. OMGosh! A friend brought Chinese Food over from out-of-town yesterday. I’m in shock. All low carb/low cal veggies for today and praying for no sugar drop as I compensate.
11/15 …..208.6 ….. Lost some of the bloat. Stuck to mainly healthy as planned yesterday. I will try to do the same today although I am already fighting the hunger from such low cal yesterday. I can do this…… Horrible cold rain today. Better than the usual snow I suppose. Gloomy.
11/16 …..207.2 ….. I continue to work that bloat back down. I have been getting in lots of movement to the point of being sore. I wouldn’t call it exercise. Just hard work. However, every burned calorie counts, right?
11/17 …..209.0 ….. Big time fluid retention. Very little water shedding (or TMI either). Quantities and meal sizes were good. Choices…meh. Today is the last day for restaurants in my state. I will probably have a carry-out meal tonight with my son. Otherwise, I will try to stay mindful.
11/18 …..209.0 ….. I did horrible yesterday due to time constraints. Thank Goodness this wasn’t worse!

11/18 - 152.8 - Up up and away. Not sure if its lack of water (I'm not tracking my tea, though it is mostly water) or a heavy dinner (wasn't hungry, just peckish enough to eat a bit, but it was heavy) or my congestion meds. Throat a little better today, still a little achy and sore. My nose..... congested. Can still breathe through it but not while breathing heavily. All good, though. A bit of congestion is more tolerable than an achy throat that makes it difficult to swallow. Taken allergy meds 2 days in a row and my congestion meds to seem to help for a short bit. Too bad I found out yesterday I can only have them when I eat. Took with my fast-breaking honey tea and ended up running to grab some food, though not hungry, to help settle it. So I'm waiting until I break my fast to take them again today. Ended up a zombie this morning so after my morning meeting, I accidentally crashed. I was so tired I couldn't even keep my eyes open and could barely speak coherently. Slept from 7-10 on accident when BF woke me up finally. Luckily, I'm at a standstill at work until I get my feedback and so I can't do anything but sit and wait for that email. I feel loads better having gotten that extra rest. Hoping to be back on track Friday for the Turkey Trot!

Previous Day's Comments11/13 - Dropping down. TOM is settling out finally and I'm feeling less bloated and heavy from it. THANKFULLY. That was miserable. Today I will be cleaning the bedroom in preparation for the reorganization and set up of the new bed. Not sure when BF will return. Either tomorrow or Sunday but I'd rather have it ready than not at all. Today, if the rain allows, I'll set up my garden with the new trellis. I've gotten spinach this week, too. I've planted one, but I bought a second small plant and want to plant that today before the worst of the rain. Hoping it holds off long enough for me to get out there after I've finished my coffee. Nothing terribly exciting going on.
11/14 - I don't know. Heavy dinner? There was a slice of pizza involved. I don't know otherwise. Met my minimum water goal and if you count my evening tea, I met my 75oz goal. Fasting has been going well since that day I was insatiably hungry. Between 16 and 17hrs daily. BF is coming home today, he's already on the road at this time. Its about 8-8.5hr drive so he'll be here for dinner. The pup will be very happy, as will I.
11/15 - DNP
11/16 - Yesterday was not good. I only got about 2 or 3 hours of good sleep. Woke up shivering for about 2 hours straight before falling asleep for only another hour. I didn't feel cold, but my body wouldn't stop shivering. Not quite sure what that was. Didn't weigh and didn't have the energy to get off couch to get my laptop to post. I just wanted to curl up and watch my football uninterrupted. Ended up making salmon last night for dinner with Fam, though, since we provided the fish and scallops. BF hadn't had a home cooked meal in a week so I wasn't going to allow him to cook, either. Then the dog decided to wake me up an hour early this morning and I'm quite cranky. I'm still feeling lack of sleep from yesterday. Feeling bloated, especially in the lower belly. Up near ribcage seems normal, which is an odd type of bloat for me. Usually my entire abdomen feels fluffy/squishy. Probably due to not fasting long at all - BF made us breakfast since it was his first morning home. Today, I want to hit 16hrs if possible. Wish I didn't have work so I could nap, I need it.
11/17 - Up and down up and down. Think its because I got a little more water in? Also took my allergy meds and some mucus/congestion relief, not sure how much an impact that made. Need to take some again, I'm still not feeling great in my sinuses. Causing a dull chronic headache all day yesterday and seems to be looking like that again today. I can breathe through my nose fine and my throat is a little less sore (less postnasal drainage, I'm guessing) but still not 100% better. I feel so sleepy but can't tell if that's from the constant slight headache and my body wanting to sleep all this off or what. Didn't get shivers last night, thankfully, so slightly more restful sleep. Only fasted 15.25hrs yesterday as BF made breakfast again for me (usually he only makes for himself so I think its just a matter of him being home and able to cook again he's making mini-feasts in the morning for us. Dinner was chili and I added some rice for the filling factor- I was STUFFED! Water wasn't great, didn't quite meet goal but I also had a couple large mugs of tea I didn't track. Bought some more tea that I think will soothe my throat better and some other teas for that caffeine punch. Already have the sinus headache, no need to intensify it with slight caffeine withdrawals (usually not bad for me if I'm feeling well, but feeling unwell always makes it feel worse). Taking it easy today - think we are working on the VW bug to get it road-ready before the weekend when BF will be gone Friday and then we all unload Saturday. Hopefully I'll feel better then by taking a few down days.

11/18 - As I typed this, I found out we are setting up the bedroom with the new bedframe so I'll be getting a little workout from that, then. Don't want to do too much since I'm still planning my 5k for Friday and don't want to be overly sore.

@deepwoodslady I understand how all of these things can affect you. You know what you need to do and I have to admit, when I saw your restaurants are closing, I thought that is an excellent time to get a handle on what you are eating. I don’t keep junk food in the house because no one needs it. If DH buys something, he puts it out of my sight. And during lockdown I did all of the cooking so we ate what I made. You can do this and get to your more healthy self!❤️❤️3

So I have a question...I also posted this in the Motivation and Support section...but I have been having success here...my moods not so dependent on the scale...but does anyone get weighed less frequently?
Does that help or hurt?
Here is what I posted.
So here is my deal. January 1, 2014 I was 338lbs. Slowly I lost the weight...WW for the first 80lbs. and then this for the rest. My goal was 128lbs. I got to that. But then my goal was 125lbs. Got to that. Then my goal was 122lbs. You can see where this is headed. Got down to 115lbs. and was losing my hair, fingernails brittle, exercising 3 hours a day, eating 800 calories a day. So I got some help. I gained some back. Today I am 134.5 (49 years old, 5ft. 4in.) I limit myself to 3.5 mile run daily, morning aerobics for 20 minutes, bed time routine for 10min. I want to get down to 125 again. BUT I DON’T want the scale to control my mood. I am having good success in the Just Give Me 10 Days thread on MFP but I wonder...I weigh in every day...should I try scaling that back? Weigh in on the 1st and 15th of the month maybe? Does anyone else feel like they are a prisoner of the scale?4 -
@kalchthaleri Try weighing less often and see if it works for you. Since I figured out my body’s pattern of taking 2-3 days to reflect the outcome of my eating, I don’t stress over the number but I am a daily weigher and have been for decades.4

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

11/13 117.5 I think all leftovers are gone. I wanted “something” last night but didn’t give in. AF
11/14 116.5
11/15 117.0 Going to friend’s for drinks and dinner later.
11/16 117.5 OMG I ate a huge filet last night, sautéed spinach and garlic and a piece of cream cheese poundcake with berries and whipped cream. Everything was so good!
11/17 116.5 AF last night. Got my flu shot yesterday and my arm hurts and I have a headache. Not sure if h/a is from the shot.
11/18 116.0 This will go up, I wanted Mexican last night and have leftovers. Today is DH’s birthday and along with his leftovers, he’s going to lunch with our friend.5 -
@deepwoodslady - I finally threw in the towel at 58 1/2 as well and retired after 30 years at the same company. One of my friends said something that stuck regarding her & her husband and their living life to the fullest (he has had breast cancer 3x). She asked me ...deepwoodslady wrote: »I hope this decision will give me extra years during which I can focus more on health.
It is scary. I am not yet old enough for SS. I have to rely on monthly payments from the sale (pray they pay consistently!) and my savings for a few years. However, I've made some pretty good choices (I believe) over the years so I think I will be okay.
Thanks so much for staying the course with me!
Retirement decision:
Have you had enough? (Yep stress was making me unhealthy and I was not interested in the job any more)
Do you have enough? (Yep my saving was good)
Do you have something else you want to do? (Yes ... travel, garden, read, focus on weight loss, exercise, learn spanish, fish, spend more time with my family, etc etc)
Good luck with your decisions! I hope that you are able to really enjoy the years to come as well as help your son find independence.

Round 132
Please join us! Starting on 11/03 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 132
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.
Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Low carb

@kalchthaleri, I agree with @quiltingjaine you could try weighing less, maybe once a week and see how you do with that and go from there.
I have lost will over a 100 lbs and found that for me I like weighing every day shortly after waking up. I know everyday can be a problem for some people. I've learned that our bodies change on a daily basis and have excepted this fact, so it doesn't bother me. I have been weighing myself this weigh for years now.
Best wishing on finding what works for you. 😄7 -
@Lilylady3k, @quiltingjaine, @SheilaBoneham, @AR10at50, @Jaccimc63, @CamandJarvis and all the other well-wishers. Thanks so much for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. What a boost of confidence all your messages bring to me! I'm so glad we've all become such good friends.7
