5/18 - 148.4 - Coming back down food-bloat wise and coming right back up with pre-TOM-bloat within the next day or two. Fasted 16.5 hours, drank about 75-80oz. Not perfect on water, but better! Was trying to avoid a midnight bathroom visit and still get as much water in. I failed on both ends, should've drank more water since I had to get up to use the bathroom at 1am anyway! Oops. Haven't been sleeping well as it is and been so tired. Weather isn't helping, yet another rainy lazy day. Maybe if I have to nap, I can avoid eating everything in sight!

Previous Day's Comments5/12 - A drop is a drop, even if its only 0.1lbs! This weather we are having is killing me. Unfortunately, big swings in weather (such as storms rolling in and out) cause my injuries to get stiff, swollen, and achy. Particularly my back which causes my legs to either go tingly-numb or ache as well due to the nerve damage and swelling around said nerve. I haven't had a workout since Saturday when we worked the land (trust me, it was a workout). Today should clear up though starting Saturday there's chance of storms for a week straight. I will hopefully get a bit of reprieve and can get a workout in, but for now I'm just focusing on gentle movement and stretching. If the worst of it settles, I'll try some yoga. Don't worry, I'm used to this! It'll pass and I'll have some wonderful days coming soon. Guess it's not April Showers and May Flowers but May Showers and (hopefully) June Flowers! Good news is, my garden is reaping the benefits of it all and I'm still visiting my little outdoor friends. I even have my first cucumber of the season! Next day or two will be ideal for picking it (:
5/13 - I've been frustrated and couldn't bring myself to post yesterday. I feel like I'm doing things right and yet my body is fighting harder than ever before. This week for work is busier since it is monthly meeting week to review all of last month's reliability issues and endless meetings to do so. Haven't gotten a workout in. Been feeling......bleh? Don't know how to describe it. I'm achy still, too, which isn't helping me push through anything. Water wasn't good yesterday, maybe 60oz. Didn't fast because I had an upset stomach in the morning and had some toast to calm it. It did help a ton so I'm happy I didn't break my fast for nothing. Back to fasting today and already working on my water intake for the day. Just need to keep going, it's a phase my body is going through and I'll come out of it eventually. Thanks for all the support, even if it's just reading your daily posts!
5/14 - Didn't weigh yesterday because we were up and out early. Just simply no time. I decided to have just a small little bit of ice cream but apparently my body reacts even worse now. Usually that little tiny bit will make me feel bloated and bleh but last night I was so sick, I thought I was going to vomit everywhere. Still don't feel the best (but I do feel better) and am super bloated. Although I know why and I made a conscious decision to do it, I'm not weighing so I don't mess myself up mentally. I'm also dehydrated from working the land yesterday. Although I drank a ton of water, it was impossible to keep up. Today, hopefully, is more of a lazy day so I can play catch up.
5/15 - Better than expected! Still recovering from ice cream and dehydration. Bloated and tummy still a little sensitive. Got more water, about 60 oz, but was feeling a little queasy if I drank too much too quick. Today seems a little better on the water intake. It's still slow, but I think I can still hit 90+ oz today. Back to fasting since I couldn't manage yesterday (though the toast did help settle things tremendously and was worth breaking my fast). Hoping later on I can get in some movement without causing too much tummy rumblings. Maybe if rain lets up a bit, I can take the pup for a walk, too.

Hello everyone! An expected jump up because of the general lack of precise care during the past week regarding what passed over my gums. We had a fantastic week enjoying some very wonderful scenery with friends. And yes, the Grand Canyon can not be described with pictures.
We ate a lot, but we also walked a LOT.
Then, last night back home we celebrated DGS’s 4th birthday! So cute.

5/13 255.2 - I was super happy about this scale reading because I had been in a scale rut for a bit.
5/14
5/15 257.8 - I was so happy about the previous weight that I laid off the water drinking and made some unproductive food choices. Learning lessons is a NSV also. Lol
5/16 - 255.6 I had a pretty good day yesterday, especially for a weekend day. I even packed a smart lunch when I went to town to get groceries, so I wouldn't eat fast food for lunch. I was yearning for some fries, but I felt better for not getting them.
Stayed under my calorie goal.
Achieved my step goal and started using resistance bands.
Reached my water goal.
5/17 - 254.8 I had dinner at my parents, but took a meal to eat instead of eating what they were having - for a couple reasons ... They were having leftover brisket and making biscuits (I'm a biscuit fiend), and I have a subscription to Real Eats and needed to use up a meal before they start going bad.
I started yoga today and it went ok. I can see how it will be beneficial.
Stayed under my calorie goal.
Achieved my step goal, bands, and yoga (15min).
Reached my water goal.
5/18 - 252.2 I started physical therapy yesterday for plantar fasciitis. It went well and I'm counting that for my stretches/movement, so no yoga today. I'm hoping to get my heels back to normal so I can be more active.
I did make a couple of unwise food choices, but was able to stay under my calorie allowance. Stayed under my calorie goal. Achieved my step goal, bands, and physical therapy. Reached my water goal.

Pizza (salt) yesterday, but I kept my calories in line nonetheless. Beautiful day coming up! Wishing you all a successful round.
5/13 - 188.4 - 1632
No surprise. Yesterday was a crazy day food wise — got together with 3 writer friends and the hostess had candy, nuts, pastries... I had some but counted as lunch. Then pizza leftovers for dinner. But I’m back on track with a good breakfast this morning, salad fixin’s for lunch, and baked chicken & broccoli for dinner. I’m off in a few for a walk and a nursery run, then planting. Yay! A garden day! I hope you get to do what you love today, even if only for a little while.
5//14 - 190 - 1500
Again, not happy but also not surprised — time lag from Wed. Gorgeous day coming up, and I have lots of plants to keep me busy planting plus an arbor to assemble. That should keep me mostly out of trouble.
5/15 - 190 - 1696
Ugh. I know this increase is water from a series of very carby days, but yuck. Otoh, I got my arbor in place and went for a nice long walk. I plan to spend much of today planting & doing other gardening. Supposed to be in the 70s today, rain tomorrow, so perfect. Have a lovely Saturday, all!
5/16 - 189.4 - 1239
Hard to believe we’re half way through May, and half way through this round. ⏳
5/17 - 190 - 1352
Aacckk. Salt, though — we ordered Bob Evans turkey. I replaced the dressing with broccoli, but the food tasted very salty to me, and I feel puffy. This has to stop, though. I’m aiming for lots of water, and a long walk as well as garden time today. At least I’ve done reasonably well with calories this round.
5/18 - 189 - 1562
Back in the right direction at least. It’s so tempting to go extreme, but I know that’s what got me into this re-gain after really restrictive elimination diet. Gotta say, I’m a bit miffed with the doctor & dietitian who put me on that in the first place. Anyway, off to the garden. I’m trying something new — garden for 45 min, then walk 15-20 min loop around neighborhood, rinse, repeat. Otherwise I get so involved in the garden that I skip the walk. We’ll see how that goes!

SW: 258.1 lbs. (5/11/2021)
Day/Weight/Comment
5/12 - Trying to increase water consumption in addition to counting calories. Feeling a tad overwhelmed by it all though right now, but I know that I want to fight through it and do my best.
5/13 – 256.3 lbs. – Disappointed in myself, I caved and got a soda to drink. Will try and better my ability to withstand cravings.
5/14 – 256.7 lbs.
5/15 – Saturday – Will not be entered – Will update again Monday – 256.3 lbs.
5/16 - Sunday - Will not be entered – Will update again Monday – 256.8 lbs.
5/17 – 254.9 lbs. - The weekend was a struggle; my boyfriend does not understand my desire to track and monitor food intake. He wanted to eat out all weekend and snack on cookies and candies. When I did the grocery shopping, I went alone and he was upset that I didn't get him snacks while at the store. MC started on Sunday so I expect some weight fluctuations this week. Completely unmotivated this morning, and wanting to crawl into a bowl of ice cream.
5/18 - 255 lbs. - Weight fluctuated slightly as I expected. Proud of myself for meeting and surpassing my daily water intake goal. Drinking water is finally not as much of a struggle as it used to be for me. Surpassed my daily step count goal, which normally on Mondays is far below, because I am normally stuck at my desk all day. Did a simple stretching workout last night at home, and it made me really realize how truly out of shape I currently am. Planning on trying again tonight and hopefully, things will be a little easier.

I was part of this challenge in the past but stopped pretty much everything - eating healthy, exercise, getting enough water, - you name it! I'm back to get my butt in gear. I came back to this group because everyone here is so supportive of each other!
Goal: 64oz water each day; row 30 mins 5 of 7 days each week; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories
Two days ago I finally got thru the day without sabotaging and bingeing - and no sugar for 2 days, which is my downfall because it keeps my cravings going.
5/10 - 183.1 - first day no sugar, started back rowing, drank 64oz water, ate lots of vegetables)
5/11 - 182.9 - kept all the good things going from yesterday)
Round 150
5/12 - 182.1 - still going strong - feeling more confident that I won't go on a binge - yay!
5/13 - 182.1 - my confidence is building and no sugar is helping tremendously!
5/14 - 181.2 - I'm happy to see this number but also know it may fluctuate up and down for a few days.
5/15 - 181.2
5/16 - 181.8 - still doing all the right things - looking for the 170's!
5/17 - 182.8 - hmmm....even though I know it's normal to fluctuate day to day, I don't have to like it. LOL. I stayed within my calorie limit every day, but had pasta too many days and I believe carbs make you hold water. Pasta is literally the only processed food I eat. I also had way too much salt so that habit needs to stop. I'm going to start adding 1/4 tsp to a lunch bag and sprinkle on from that to be mindful.
5/18 - 183.4 - okay, what's going on? I'm rowing, drinking water, staying around 1300 calories and I do IF automatically because I'm never hungry in the mornings and stop eating around 5p each day. I'm going back to what I said yesterday - pasta and salt. I made sauce and ate pasta for 4 days straight until finally the sauce is gone. I think I'm trying to satisfy the withdrawal from sugar with it. I'm also wondering if 64oz of water is enough since I see a lot of you shooting for higher amounts. And truthfully, I've been hitting around 60oz the last few days. Today it's chicken and vegetables (not starchy ones either except very little sweet potato that I cooked because they were going bad). As long as I'm doing the right things, and adjusting when not, I'm not overly bummed out, but do look forward to a morning soon that I'm back down. What I am celebrating though is no bingeing and no sugar since May 10!

Thank you everyone for the anniversary wishes. I was 20 when we married and 50+ years seemed like an eternity, I’m sure. In reality, it has not felt that way. There have been bumps in the road but they have not been insurmountable. Thank you again!8

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.

@fmfdfa2020 I was aiming for 64 ounces of water until I met my doctor. She told me to think about aiming for 1/2 my body weight (lbs) in oz. When I started, I was 155 and rounded out to 75 oz of water. Now I just naturally aim for 90 since my water cup is 30 oz and I don't have to measure or guess.
Everyone is different, though. Turns out, my body does so so so much better when I drink more. Plus, I've found that when I manage to drink more, I eat smaller portions and it's become a win-win. (My doc did mention that water will help me understand hunger vs thirst when she suggested upping it to 1/2 body weight).
It's not a requirement (bodies are funny and everyone's reacts differently) but it was nice to experiment and find what makes a difference for me! Best of luck (:

Previous days5/12 116.8 Had a nice whoosh of water weight leave me over night. Now I’m back in a happier place for myself. I even feel less swollen, the past couple days I had been waking up and my finger joints almost hurt from the excess water retention. Today I used the spin bike and I was able to get a walk around the block in as well.5/17 Did not post today.
5/13 116.6 Didn’t get a chance to post yesterday but started my blurb, so I included it above. I had an exercise win today of running 4 miles this morning before work. Then, I went for a 20 minute walk during my lunch. Food has been good the past two days. Dinner tonight will be a left over pork chop and butternut squash. I’ll also have a salad with it. Breakfast was my typical two eggs with high fiber toast and cream cheese but the past couple days I’ve also included some raw Macomber turnip slices too. The extra veg has been a nice filling veggie based addition to my breakfast. The raw turnip is pretty mild tasting so I sprinkle on some chili lime seasoning and it’s delicious! Tomorrow is CSA pick up day and we might be getting fresh tomatoes or cucumbers from their greenhouses…I’m so excited! 😊 .
5/14 Did not post.
5/15 Had a good day food wise yesterday and did a more mild bike ride Friday morning because TOM arrived throughout the night and kept me up. So, I wanted to be more gentle on my body. Our CSA was filled with exciting new goodies. We got our first cucumber of the season and /I can’t wait to try it with a Greek yogurt spinach artichoke dip I’m making with an abundance of fresh spinach I have still from last week’s CSA pick-up.
5/16 So, the spinach artichoke dip I made came out yummy and a generous 230 g portion only had 140ish calories. We had a relaxing day yesterday but I was productive in the morning making the dip and a batch of breakfast cookies. This morning we are heading to go out for a walk at a local trail near us, so that’ll be nice. Then, I’ll be working on my journal and creating my weekly spread because I slacked for a week or two with that and want to get back into it. I’m also going to meal plan today and come up with some easy but tasty meals for the week.
5/18 Did not weigh. Food was pretty decent yesterday. I went out to dinner with old coworkers last night and got a personal size Margherita pizza from Not Your Average Joe’s. I had two small pieces of bread with 2 tsps of oil and 4 out of the 6 slices of pizza. So, between eating well during the day and not going overboard at dinner…I think I stayed within maintenance or still squeaked by with a tiny deficit. I did 30 minutes on the bike yesterday and went for about a 2 mile walk which helped me stay within my calorie goals for the day. This morning I ran 2 miles and it was my fastest time in a while! (2.11 miles in 19minutes 59 seconds) Plus, I just felt great in general running and probably could have gone further but I didn’t have the time before work.
Tonight’s dinner will be steak with roasted potatoes, onions, and beets. I’m also thinking about adding za’atar seasoning to the veggies.

Thanks @CamandJarvis - very good to know! I'm feeling better at 62 to 64oz so now ready to try upping it. I was living on probably 4 cups a day before. Thanks again!4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
05/11 …..208.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
05/12 …..208.4 ….. I am feeling super-charged and inspired. I hope this feeling lasts all day. No…..I hope it lasts for as long as I need it to. For some reason, this feels like ground zero! Good luck everyone on this round.
05/13 …..207.4 ….. I tried a little Intermittent Fasting again yesterday. It went well during it but I did have a small glucose drop last night which I handled well. I will try again today. I’m a lady in training again, I suppose. Feeling good again today. I am seeing my doctor again in about a month. She said she needs to see a dramatic change or I’ll have to start taking insulin shots (which I am fighting). She took my fasting glucose (I was extra good the days prior knowing she would) was 513. My AIC was 13.8 . Things are not good here, but they are about to improve. I am working on my diet but also on my stress levels too. Stress has been through the roof!
05/14 …..207.4 ….. Day 2 on the IF and it went well. Later, my daughter and DGS #4 moved back in due to her home problems. Last time we had a pretty bad argument and she had left, I think we will both try harder this time. She is looking for a rental but in this rural area that is few and far between. I’ll support her in any way I can. I just hope my diet doesn’t go askew now that normal meals will be needed for her and the 3 ½ year old.
05/15 …..206.6 ….. Another good drop. No sleep last night. Literally, not one hour. Tried to nap today but still no sleep. Then I realized I accidentally took my thyroid pill before bed. That explains it. Well, I should sleep good tonight! Celebrating my birthday from the 10th tomorrow with my daughters. A ladies spa day. I’m looking forward to it.
05/16 …..206.6 ….. I thought it would be lower. I had a perfect eating day yesterday. No bad snacks too (which is my nighttime weakness). However, it was a lazy rest day otherwise with my daughter and DGS staying the night with friends. Not much movement but I needed the rest from no sleep the night before. Today we celebrate my belated birthday. Spa day and dinner out. I will be very careful to keep up the progress.
05/17 …..206.8 ….. After multiple days of celebrations this week, I am happy with this number. Back to IF today and good choices.
05/18 …..206.8 ….. Glad to be maintaining but would like to see a little progress. My daughter brought me home a butter pecan Gelato last night which I ate. I really didn’t want to hurt her feelings as she is very fragile right now with her situation. Also, it was very expensive for the amount you get. I ate it and enjoyed it, but tonight I will carefully have another talk with her if her mood is okay. It’s not just about weight. It’s about the diabetes too. I know she is just trying to be nice and to be grateful for my help. Perhaps she can take a walk with me instead. I truly would appreciate that more! Thankfully I had made a very low cal and low carb dinner so the scale was not negatively affected.

05/18 -197.6 I did my planks this morning. My son was up all night crying about his itchy eyes. It’s hard have a child crying in your arms and your at a loss to comfort them. At one point he told we to stop putting the wet compress on him because it was not helping him. He passed out at 940p, back up at 11pm, again right before 4am. This year is a bad allergy season.

Be positive for the vaccine – I've had my first, second is due this round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.

Day/Weight/Comment
5/12 132.4 – 11.33 miles walked yesterday,calories well in credit. Little DGS more stable; started to reduce fast flow oxygen to see how he reacts, started milk feeds again & talk of moving him out of IC to HDU, fingers crossed he continues to improve.
5/13 132.4 – 13.83 miles walked yesterday, mostly to and from my vaccination volunteering session. Calories well in credit. DGS back on HDU, fetched him off diuretics after he passed a litre of urine as they don't want him to lose too much fluid too quickly, but now he has started to swell up again, so restarted lower dose & started him on a little solid food too which bowels seem to be tolerating, all positive, but still a long way to go!
5/14 132.4 – 4.34 miles walked yesterday; another day taking older DGS out for the day, calories over.
5/15 133.2 – 10.88 miles walked yesterday, calories under goal.
5/16 133.2 - 9.09 miles walked yesterday, calories under but carbs over due to pizza night.
5/17 133.6 – travelled up to take DGS out for the day, weather not good, hence no structured walking leading to calories being over. I have my second vaccination this morning (hurray !) Next stage of roadmap back to normality today; 6 people allowed to meet up indoors, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, theatres all open indoors again.
5/18 133.6 – 14.77 miles walked yesterday, calories well under (570). No side effects whatsoever from 2nd vaccine yesterday. Back at our dance class last night, so good to start to get back to some sort of normality & see everyone again as well as enjoy a really good dance! Go out with sisters today for a pub lunch indoors & we can actually hug too in this latest step of the UK progressing forward from Covid!
5/19 133.2 – 9.96 miles walked yesterday before I met up with my sisters, we had a lovely time, food portions were very big, but I left the majority of the fries. Calories estimated to be just within limits!

05/13 - 65.6 kgr 144.6 lbs - Even though I was within my calories and ate mostly proteins, the food intake was pretty late at night! The extra alcohol didn't help either! But it was so much fun!! I hope tomorrow the scale will drop!
05/14 -b]65.6 kgr 144.6 lbs [/b] No change whatsoever..But it's ok!! I am happy I didn't snack yesterday even though I must admit I was very tempted... After my ''Keto Break'' I have to admit it was more difficult than I expected to get back on track ... Ups and downs!! I am happy though overall!
05/15 -DNW

05/17 - 64.7 kgr 142.6 lbs No change!! As expected!
05/18 - 64.7 kgr 142.6 lbs No change!! Still ok ..
05/19 - 64.7 kgr 142.6 lbs No change... Ah.. I had some wine with my meal yesterday.. Perhaps that's the reason... But still I enjoy the process...I guess I won't reach my goal but still, to be able to see 64 on the scale.. it's a happy occasion!

5/19 - 146.9 - Behaved better yesterday. About 95oz water and fasted 16.5 hours. My poor kitty died last night. Dad came home to find her, think she had a stroke and was struggling. Mom took off work to take her to vet where she had a couple seizures and had to be put down. She was a rescue and turns out, likely a lot older than we originally thought. Sad day for our family because yesterday was also the 5 year anniversary of another kitty of ours passing. I felt helpless because they're across the country (north/south) over 1,200 miles away.

Previous Day's Comments5/12 - A drop is a drop, even if its only 0.1lbs! This weather we are having is killing me. Unfortunately, big swings in weather (such as storms rolling in and out) cause my injuries to get stiff, swollen, and achy. Particularly my back which causes my legs to either go tingly-numb or ache as well due to the nerve damage and swelling around said nerve. I haven't had a workout since Saturday when we worked the land (trust me, it was a workout). Today should clear up though starting Saturday there's chance of storms for a week straight. I will hopefully get a bit of reprieve and can get a workout in, but for now I'm just focusing on gentle movement and stretching. If the worst of it settles, I'll try some yoga. Don't worry, I'm used to this! It'll pass and I'll have some wonderful days coming soon. Guess it's not April Showers and May Flowers but May Showers and (hopefully) June Flowers! Good news is, my garden is reaping the benefits of it all and I'm still visiting my little outdoor friends. I even have my first cucumber of the season! Next day or two will be ideal for picking it (:
5/13 - I've been frustrated and couldn't bring myself to post yesterday. I feel like I'm doing things right and yet my body is fighting harder than ever before. This week for work is busier since it is monthly meeting week to review all of last month's reliability issues and endless meetings to do so. Haven't gotten a workout in. Been feeling......bleh? Don't know how to describe it. I'm achy still, too, which isn't helping me push through anything. Water wasn't good yesterday, maybe 60oz. Didn't fast because I had an upset stomach in the morning and had some toast to calm it. It did help a ton so I'm happy I didn't break my fast for nothing. Back to fasting today and already working on my water intake for the day. Just need to keep going, it's a phase my body is going through and I'll come out of it eventually. Thanks for all the support, even if it's just reading your daily posts!
5/14 - Didn't weigh yesterday because we were up and out early. Just simply no time. I decided to have just a small little bit of ice cream but apparently my body reacts even worse now. Usually that little tiny bit will make me feel bloated and bleh but last night I was so sick, I thought I was going to vomit everywhere. Still don't feel the best (but I do feel better) and am super bloated. Although I know why and I made a conscious decision to do it, I'm not weighing so I don't mess myself up mentally. I'm also dehydrated from working the land yesterday. Although I drank a ton of water, it was impossible to keep up. Today, hopefully, is more of a lazy day so I can play catch up.
5/15 - Better than expected! Still recovering from ice cream and dehydration. Bloated and tummy still a little sensitive. Got more water, about 60 oz, but was feeling a little queasy if I drank too much too quick. Today seems a little better on the water intake. It's still slow, but I think I can still hit 90+ oz today. Back to fasting since I couldn't manage yesterday (though the toast did help settle things tremendously and was worth breaking my fast). Hoping later on I can get in some movement without causing too much tummy rumblings. Maybe if rain lets up a bit, I can take the pup for a walk, too.
5/16 - Coming back down food-bloat wise and coming right back up with pre-TOM-bloat within the next day or two. Fasted 16.5 hours, drank about 75-80oz. Not perfect on water, but better! Was trying to avoid a midnight bathroom visit and still get as much water in. I failed on both ends, should've drank more water since I had to get up to use the bathroom at 1am anyway! Oops. Haven't been sleeping well as it is and been so tired. Weather isn't helping, yet another rainy lazy day. Maybe if I have to nap, I can avoid eating everything in sight!

I was part of this challenge in the past but stopped pretty much everything - eating healthy, exercise, getting enough water, - you name it! I'm back to get my butt in gear. I came back to this group because everyone here is so supportive of each other!
Goal: 64oz water each day; row 30 mins 5 of 7 days each week; eat vegetables/fruit; 1200 to 1500 calories
Two days ago I finally got thru the day without sabotaging and bingeing - and no sugar for 2 days, which is my downfall because it keeps my cravings going.
5/10 - 183.1 - first day no sugar, started back rowing, drank 64oz water, ate lots of vegetables)
5/11 - 182.9 - kept all the good things going from yesterday)
Round 150
5/12 - 182.1 - still going strong - feeling more confident that I won't go on a binge - yay!
5/13 - 182.1 - my confidence is building and no sugar is helping tremendously!
5/14 - 181.2 - I'm happy to see this number but also know it may fluctuate up and down for a few days.
5/15 - 181.2
5/16 - 181.8 - still doing all the right things - looking for the 170's!
5/17 - 182.8 - hmmm....even though I know it's normal to fluctuate day to day, I don't have to like it. LOL. I stayed within my calorie limit every day, but had pasta too many days and I believe carbs make you hold water. Pasta is literally the only processed food I eat. I also had way too much salt so that habit needs to stop. I'm going to start adding 1/4 tsp to a lunch bag and sprinkle on from that to be mindful.
5/18 - 183.4 - okay, what's going on? I'm rowing, drinking water, staying around 1300 calories and I do IF automatically because I'm never hungry in the mornings and stop eating around 5p each day. I'm going back to what I said yesterday - pasta and salt. I made sauce and ate pasta for 4 days straight until finally the sauce is gone. I think I'm trying to satisfy the withdrawal from sugar with it. I'm also wondering if 64oz of water is enough since I see a lot of you shooting for higher amounts. And truthfully, I've been hitting around 60oz the last few days. Today it's chicken and vegetables (not starchy ones either except very little sweet potato that I cooked because they were going bad). As long as I'm doing the right things, and adjusting when not, I'm not overly bummed out, but do look forward to a morning soon that I'm back down. What I am celebrating though is no bingeing and no sugar since May 10!
5/19 - 181.3 - I'm glad I've learned to stick it out when my weight fluctuates and not use it as an excuse to binge.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
