Hanging steady at 205.6 today. No surprise after yesterday's lunch out. I can tell I'm retaining water again by how my rings fit. Thus concludes this month's scale cycle. It'll likely be way up when I get back again - I plan at eating around maintenance on the trip, plus will be flying out and back. Oh well.3

Hi everyone. My first post in this group. I spent some time in the forums over the last few days and I'm even more inspired. I actually haven't believed I'd ever be under 200# and now, after seeing many of your stories, I can do this. Looking forward to sharing the journey with all of you. Logging accurately daily and adding more movement including swim lessons starting on Saturday. (I know how to swim, I just want to be able to do laps in the right form.) I haven't been in a swimsuit for years.

Welcome @coblujay.
You can do this. And you are in the right place for support. It is a complicated journey that will last the rest of our lives. But I think it will be worth it! I am a relative newby here. I joined in the fall and that says something because the folks in the group are here for the long run so a year isn't a long time! - but the support I find here on those days when I lose the vision is what has kept me going. And the humour. And the sense that the people here care about you - and they get that you really really want to lose weight. And unlike what I have often found in real life, there are no little jealous demons poking you suggesting you have lost enough, or are obsessed, or walking too much. Instead just lots of support and knowledge and brilliant ideas that pop up at just the right time!
When you feel inclined - come join our daily check-in thread. Take a look and you will get the gist of it. If it is unclear - feel free to ask any questions!2 -
Thank you, Laurie. I will join the daily check-in thread. It helps that my sister and a few friends are joining me on this journey and we meet weekly on a Zoom call. As people drop off, which I'm guessing a few will, this group will always be here to provide that focus and support. Right now, I'm thinking it would be nice to have someone tell me I've lost too much, but I understand I need to get where I can be the most healthy. I have lots of travel plans in the future and can't wait to experience them with energy and cute colorful clothes.

Good progress this week. Some of it may be dehydration tho, due to a nasty cold I got (damn ACs!!). But I'll take it!

That's a drop Dante!
Did you double check your AC cold with a self/rapid test? Are co-workers staring at you and shying away, or are you out of town on vacation?3 -

I work in healthcare so tested a couple of times after the symptoms started on Monday.
It was the damn AC. Pressed the wrong button when going to bed and instead of the AC working in sleep mode and shutting off after a couple of hours..I woke six hours later as an extremely chill yet unappetizing Popsicle..XD
It's been pretty fun terrifying my co-workers tho for the last three days (intentionally going close to them to wipe my nose or cough under the mask). :P
By the time of my vacation (19th) I'll be fine. Probably.

41 lbs is nothing when you look how far you’ve come! You’ve got this.4 -

So do you!….just wow!1 -
A different number has my attention tonight. All day I've been so physically tired. Thought I was just so spoiled from my lazy day that I forgot I need to move around a bit. Did manage to get lots of steps in and do the stuff that I had to do, but man was it hard today.
Then tonight when I opened my fitbit to check my calories and steps I noticed that my resting heart rate was pretty low today. Every since I quit smoking it has been pretty low - about 48 or 49 most days, sometimes 50 - but today it was 46!
Wonder if I was tired because my heart rate was low or my heart rate was low because I it had the same case of the lazies as the rest of me!3 -
How is your blood pressure?1

No idea! Those little machines in the drug stores have been closed down since the pandemic hit. And no reason to go to a doctor. It was good - 110/70 ish - in 2019! lol
But today is day 3 of annoying scale despite very good eating and mostly good moving. If that is in anyway related to low resting heart rate you know I'll be at the doctors in a blink!

So annoyed this morning - 3rd day in a row gaining. Up 1.2 pounds. And I've been so good - even with the little man and all those nan urges to have treats treats treats! I'm hoping (expecting...lol) a big whoosh!5
-
Your woosh is coming! Super frustrating on the shirt term though!! Keep with it3
-
I am about 5 months over due for a big Whoosh….I hit my lowest weight June 19 and have not seen it since!….3
-
I had a little woosh this morning. Maybe my water weight has finally all come off or my body said that it was ready to get on board too. Who knows but I’ll take it. I only input my stats here once a week on Friday so hopefully it will stay for tomorrow’s weigh in. Either way I’m happy to be seeing progress! Almost back to ONEDERLAND!6

Sorry to interject (dumb euro here), but what is a "woosh"? Googling this is giving me pretty random stuff. I understand the context implies sth like a sudden weight loss?3
-
Correct. It is a day (or sometimes more than day as two and three day whooshes have been discussed) when all of a sudden weight seems to disappear.
Anecdotally often preceded by excessive visits to the little boys (or girls) room to urinate.
Conjecture would be that this is a release of water weight which may have been masking ongoing fat loss.... and the visits to the bathroom would provide some support for this...
*water weight not strictly dependent on drinking multiple glasses of water as sometimes percieved but accrued through normal body functions and chemistry5 -
And some of us ( me me me ) never seem to experience a Whoosh without some or all of it coming back the next day!….4
-
Oh I get it now, and I have seen this effect a couple of times in me too (especially after a good nights' sleep after a day off from work)! Many thanks for the explanation.
Back to the Balkan front, today is Friday - weigh day. Good progress this week.

204.4?????? That...wasn't the direction I was expecting, but I'll take it!4 -
Ate a bit too much yesterday and scale came up to 206. Good lord. That’s a big jump from one day of crappy eating. Lol. Back at it today.4
