Aug 13: 143.8 - honestly not sure what is going on. I eat under 1200 calories a day, often it's actually under 1,000. So it could either be the heat wave, me starting biking to work this week or still digestive issues. Hoping to see it go the other way soon.

I feel your pain.

14 Aug 21 - 11.04 no idea what is going on.

Some personal experience. During the early part of the pandemic, I was losing weight and making it look easy. This went about 4 months and I got to weights I never dreamed of seeing again. At that point, I decided to relax on the weight loss, if it happened it happened, but I wasn't going to "worry" about it anymore. The first 5 pounds took about 3 months to come on and once I realized they were planning to stay, I lowered my daily calorie intake. Then another 5 pounds, and another lowering of intake. And another, and another. By January, I was barely eating 1700 cals a day, more like 1500 cals most days and some days even less, had regained all the weight I had lost...and was slowly gaining. I went to a dietician who put a quick stop to my ideas of "diet" at the time. She put me right back at 2200 per day, which is where I was when losing last spring, and it took a couple of weeks to get stabilized, but I'm down 13 pounds and going in the right direction. This, by eating the appropriate amount for me and my daily activity levels.

Moral of the story? There's a reason MFP suggests minimum daily calorie intakes.

Aug 1: 227.2
Aug 2: 225.4 Have a feeling this will go in chunks for a couple of days as I get over the trip. Still swollen and haven't unloaded the excess sodium yet.
Aug. 3: 223.4 Still chunking along
Aug 4: 221.0 Still discovering how much weight I lost on "vacation". Not a recommended approach, but if it sticks, I'll take it.
Aug 5: 221.8 There's the bounce. So, for the record, I lost 6.2 pounds in 7 days canoeing the BWCAW. Feels about right.

Aug 7: No weigh in, Scout camp out
Aug 8: No weigh in, Scout camp out
Aug 9: 222.8 Yikes! Looks like another couple of days of sodium detox
Aug 10: 222.2 My morning walk was rained out, but this'll do.
Aug. 11: 220.0 OK, no more Scout events this month and I might be able to make this stick!
Aug 12: 221.2 Meh
Aug 13: 221.0 Morning walk rained out again.
Aug 14: No Weigh in Rats! Got out of sequence on my morning routine. No sense weighing after breakfast.
