    Had some dental work done this week. The feeling I get looking at my improved smile makes me want to smile more and is also revising my self-talk. That makes me want to continue choosing things that upgrade my health - physical and/or mental.

    Yes, the Mayo Clinic Diet/Lifestyle is an online program (for tracking and menu planning etc) however there is a book that's the same program. I actually purchased the book and journal and started it years ago (I'd say maybe 10), but I didn't really follow the program.

    I'm back at it now and so far it's working but I consider this the "honeymoon phase". The first couple of weeks of any plan are usually "doable".

    I am going to check this out.

    I guess I need to switch gears to change direction?

    I think weight loss has us always changing gears. What area is giving you the most trouble?

    Bit disappointing giving the steps I've been doing, but I've had some really big losses in the last month and my leg muscles are harder, so I'll take it!!

    Just 8.2lb left to my target of 101lb lost :)

    Awesome loss! Your weight loss journey is inspiring especially to those of us near or just hitting our 60’s.

    Congrats on the loss! Taking time to take care of ourselves is so important. We tend to focus on the weight loss and not the body as a whole.

    Got back from my mini trip yesterday afternoon. I was super tired. The concert sucked and we left half way through. Back to logging today. I am up a pound this morning but I know it’s mostly from the restaurant food as I really didn’t eat a lot.

    I hate a disappointing concert! At least you got to beat all the traffic out of the venue. Have a nice, restful weekend!

    Newbie problems…..I’m not sure what you have as my official start weight. The weight I put in my notes for this group look like this:

    Weigh In Day: Saturday
    PW : 211.5. (2/11)
    CW : 211.3. (2/18)


    My accurate, current, PW vs CW should be:

    Weigh In Day: Saturday
    PW : 210.5 (2/25)
    CW : 208.7 (3/04)

    Weigh In Day: Saturday
    PW (Previous Weight): 154.3 pounds (had gained 1.1 pounds)
    CW (Current Weight): 155.2 pounds (gained 0.9 pounds)
    Could've been worse as on Wednesday I was up 2.7 pounds so I managed to get down 1.8 pounds before my weigh in on Saturday so I only had to post a 0.9 pound gain!
    Gained a total of 2.0 pounds in the course of the last 2 weeks.
    Discouraging of course but haven't thrown in the towel.
    The gains are likely from a combo of reasons: bad eating, health conditions, water retention, not enough sleep, emotional and stressful life events.
    Still down 14.9 pounds from my highest weight in 2016 but going in the wrong direction these days!
    At least I have lost 6 out of 9 weeks since joining this challenge so only gaining 3 times in 9 weeks isn't too bad.

    Still need to lose 25.2 pounds to get to my goal weight. Ugh!
