Finding that balance can be hard. Have you ever tried 432 Hz music. You can find ones for sleep, stress, anxiety etc

What a great suggestion! I know what I'll be using during my upcoming meditation. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I noticed that if the food has a lot of flavor/spices I get content with less and stop craving for unhealthy foods.

Hit my goal. Now I'm adjusting to Maintenance. Been doing a lot of reading on the topic and have been examining my diet. I'm stopping with the fasted workouts. I'm now having a glass or orange juice and a whole wheat english muffin. My God the difference in energy levels this morning. I wasn't exhausted after running and had plenty of energy to lift.

Weigh In Day: Saturday
PW (Previous Weight): 155.4 pounds
CW (Current Weight): 157.3 pounds
Gained 1.9 pounds since last Saturday.

Feeling discouraged that I have to post this but I'm all about the facts and these are the hard cold facts! Reality bites sometimes, lol! I was 158.0 pounds yesterday so I at least got down 0.7 pounds overnight thanks to my salad eating and exercising yesterday otherwise I would've had a 2.6 pound gain in 1 week! I lost every week for the previous 4 weeks (every Saturday in January) so I'm not surprised that I had a gain turn up but I had really been hoping for a maintain. Now I'm only down 0.9 pounds since the start of the new year instead of the 2.8 pounds I was down in January. Trying not to feel frustrated and down about it but it really is discouraging when it takes 4 weeks to lose 2.8 pounds and only 1 week to put back on 1.9 pounds. I'm still down 12.8 pounds since my highest weight but since my highest weigh was in 2016 it's time to get a move on to get down and stay down 40 pounds instead of the yo yo, up and down, start stop restart.
I take some accountability for the gain as I know some things I ate last week would contribute to weight gain (e.g., last minute decision to pick up take out for a person who was going to cook their own dinner on their birthday so I had honey garlic ribs, fries, white roll, and one weeknight evening had take out pepperoni pizza and parmesan sticks on a night I didn't feel like cooking and wanted take out, some pieces of a plain cake someone dropped off to brighten my day as she knew my health was giving my a lot of troubles, ice cream someone gave me to pick up my spirits, frozen bought chocolate chip cookies that I kept heating up in the oven).
Some things were out of my control like having to eat a snack before bed to take a pill that can't be taken on an empty stomach but I did try to eat healthier when I had to eat the late night snack (e.g., applesauce, salad). I also know 2 of my health problems can lead to weight gain and I also couldn't exercise for 2 days due to my health and the weather.
I do also know I made some good choices last week so when my weight goes up it's discouraging. I ate a good number of salads, worked to drink more water, walked even on colder days, didn't add a whole bunch of junkfood to my grocery order, and only ate ice cream on the day of my weigh in last Saturday after having a loss.


@lindamtuck2018
Sorry that you are suffering from so many headaches. Glad you are on the up and up today. Hope only healthy items make it into your grocery cart today! I really hope you enjoy your outing and a night off cooking.

@JaysFan82

You are an inspiration!

I totally relate to the yoyo aspect of losing weight - it took me two weeks to lose 4 pounds and one night to put on 5 - for me it is eating the gluten and the dairy. It is so hard to stay motivated when 1-2 meals can undue all of the good choices you've been making, I know. Good job on all of the good decisions you've been making.

I'm trying not to get frustrated... I think more water, more movement, and less stress is going to be key.

@363days
I also like to hike but have had to switch back to more regular, flat walking due to health problems. I love getting out in nature and exploring new trails. I enjoy getting outside when it is not too hot and not too cold and when there are no biting bugs!
