    Logically CICO should work but the reality is what I eat seems to make a difference even with the same amount of calories.


    I completely agree with you. So many people on the MFP Community are hardcore CICO but it's really not that simple for many of us. The makeup of those calories affect me greatly too. The trick is figuring out how our bodies respond to things and then using that knowledge for good, not evil. :-)

    Yes, I think that I will have to re-examine also.
    My plan was to make this weight loss sustainable, not a deprivation. A lifestyle/eating habit change.
    It certainly worked for me for the first 50 pounds. These last 20 are proving to be a *kitten*.

    I am not giving up my 2 cups of cherries a day just yet though, this might be the last week for them at the weekly Farmer's market. (Rainier and Lapins)
    I have pretty much been eating only fruit all during the day - portable for work, seasonal. I don't really care for apples and oranges, so once the blueberries, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, plums etc. are finished I will look at a new plan. Perhaps more grains for fibre instead of fruits.

    Hi all
    I am Dawn, 60, 5'2"
    I gained a bit of weight in both June and July, so my aim is to get that off and beyond.
    Before that I averaged a 1 pound weight loss each month throughout this journey.
    MFP start weight October 2018: 191
    UGW 112-ish

    Best of luck to everyone, and big thanks to @nikkit321 for providing this space to us and keeping us going.

    Sunday 8/01 - 132.9
    8/02 - 133.3
    8/03 - 133.3
    8/04 - 132.9 - Back to this month's start weight, now to hit last month's start weight of 131.8
    8/05 - 132.8
    8/06 - 134.2 - Up at 4am drinking water after going to sleep at 1am. Posting my weight anyway, tomorrow I hope will look better.
    8/07 - 134.3 - Lots of activity yesterday, maybe it will look favourable on the scale in a few days.
    8/08 - 136.0 - Wow, it took me 7 days to put back on what took 7 months to lose. Cruel. Hopeful that going back to day shifts this coming week will help.
    8/09 - 135.5 - Got to get this off
    8/10 - 132.6 - ?? - I'll take it.
    8/11 - 131.7 - I have still been eating late, because of added evening shifts into the mix. Today I finish at 3 and then get days off : - ) My huge activity day is now showing on the scale. Feeling relieved but will try not to get too comfortable lol. Planning some indulgences on my days off.
    8/12 - 132.9 - Back to my start weight. I am okay with that.
    8/13 - 134.0 - Kind of expected, I had a couple of indulgent days. I did not exceed my calorie goal, but the choices were not the healthiest
    8/14 - 134.7 - Up almost 2 pounds from this month's start weight. Up down and all around, that is apparently how I roll.
    8/15 - 135.9 - 7 days after my last big spike. Thinking that this is only temporary.
    8/16 - 134.4 - A bit better.
    8/17 - 133.9
    8/18 - 133.1
    8/19 - 134.3 - All over the place
    8/20 - 134.9 - I don't get it. I won't give up though.
    8/21 - 134.3
    8/22 - 134.7
    8/23 - 135.6 - Ouch!!
    8/24 - 135.1 - Still too high and running out of month!
    8/25 - 136.4 - Climbing even more but I don't know why.
    8/26 - 134.4 - I guess that I should be happy to see 2 pounds gone overnight, but I am not. Pants are tight.
    8/27 -
    8/28 -
    8/29 -
    8/30 -
    8/31 -
