I'll be back here and step on the scale once my company leaves. My husband's brother and wife are staying with us and she is the kind of person that takes over your kitchen, tells you the way you cook everything is wrong and insists you have seconds of whatever she has foisted upon you. Do I sound resentful? LOL. I HAD been having just soup for dinner. I am afraid to even look at my scale now. At least I am sticking to my no alcohol for 3 months rule so that should help with calorie reduction.7

I'm stuck here. This last week I've been dealing with migraines. You think I would stop eating but I get depressed and eat more. I have been having these migraine for years but the last couple of years they've gotten worse and more frequent. I need a new plan for weight loss and migraine relief.

Happy new challenge!!
Feb: 195.6-196.0 lbs: 0.4 lbs GAIN
3/1: 196.4 lbs
3/2: 196.8 lbs - 2 miles ran this morning. 4 days until my half!
3/3: 196.0 lbs - I tried cinnamon toast crunch oatmeal today. It was alright but probably not worth the 140 calories (for me) since oatmeal usually doesn't keep me full.
3/4: 197.0 lbs
3/5: 195.8 lbs - half marathon in a thunderstorm tomorrow!! 😊
3/6: 197.8 lbs - race day!
3/7: 196.0 lbs - Well the thunderstorms held off for me to finish my race but it was super humid. Not my best time but not my worst, so I'll take it!!

I've been pre occupied with work and house work related things past few days, which means I've stuck to routine, but haven't had the time to complain how long it takes 🤣🤣
2 weeks of daily 7-10km runs everyday. I want to focus on eliminating my pre bed snacking this week. My meal timing is all over = late night snacking cause I'm hungry. So taking some days off running and no late night snacking kinda deal. Sounds tough. We'll see.

I'm feeling all sorts of mixed emotions. This weight isn't going away easy. I'm not sure if my body thinks I'm starving it with a lot of running, so I've upped my calories.
It's really confusing, the effort I can put in with eating less, doesn't translate to more fat loss. Then I miss out on the little life events because I don't want to chance being around liquor/food/be out late and miss gym. I'm fairly certain I've done dry February unintentionally lol.
But if I continue with tracking and the emotional roller coaster of frustration, I will see a loss eventually. Just comes very, very, VERY slowly.
This week I've decided to clean up the freezer; I have lots of beyond meat ground in there that's a little too calorie dense for me. Instead of garbage, I'll have to incorporate a little every week and compromise the calories elsewhere 😮💨😮💨
I think you are making great strides. Healthy eating, exercise and running... all good things for your brain and body. I bet soon your body will shed more pounds and fat loss. I'm really proud of you!
Thanks so much! And thanks for starting the thread! I come back here throughout the week if I'm feeling down about progress. I'm trying to be patient, and trying to settle on routines, and behaviors that will help me keep the weight off for future.
I don't think I'll reach my goal by May, but giving up won't be better.5 -

I am shocked I have lost any weight at all since we have had company for the past 5 days. You know how that goes; you serve more so you eat more. I do anyway.
I hope to be under 160 by the 17th, next Thursday, for my weigh in and physical at the dr.s office. I'm almost there! My UGW is 140.
Have a healthy day, Everyone!9 -
