    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.

    What was Friday's steps? ...you seem to have left out a number

    I left out a 2 it is supposed to be 3,524

    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)

    Awesome loss! I put in your accurate weight.

    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!

    Seems like you have an good idea as to your reasons for gaining the weight. Try to tackle one at a time. What can you change this week?

    - Calories: 1465 (goal 1200-1600)
    - Water: 150 oz
    - Gym: no
    - Walk: no
    - Protein: 69g (85 goal)
    - Fiber: 12g (25 goal)
    * Thoughts: Worked my tail off cleaning my teenage daughter’s room again today. Splurged on McDonald’s for dinner, but I stayed in my calorie budget by choosing my meal, based on calories, beforehand.

    STEPS:
    02/26: 10,330
    02/27: 10,001
    02/28: 10,844
    03/01: 11,179
    03/02: 21,403
    03/03: 10,350
    03/04: 18,104

    That’s the way to do it. Picking our meal ahead of time and sticking to it is key to eating out.

    Ok, my food is prelogged for today. I am cooking jiggs dinner (Newfoundland cooked dinner) today. I usually end up retaining quite a bit of water after this meal so I don’t make it often. This will be the last time until I go to Newfoundland this summer to get some more salt riblets. Have a great Sunday.

    Tough week~ Sidelined from exercise by a fall on ice with resulting slight concussion and pulled muscles, and caught a nasty cold. Next week will be so much better!


    I’m so sorry to hear this. I hope you get better soon

    I am trying to figure that one out. My goal is three days with a minimum of 15 minutes. My motivation is seriously lacking.

    Steps: 3,521
    Sleep: ✔️
    Log food: ✔️
    Exercise:

    I was awake a lot last night but did manage to reach my sleep goal. My goal this week is to get some sort of exercise. It doesn’t have to be long just have to exercise.

    Have a great Monday!
