    Weigh In Day: Saturday
    PW (Previous Weight): 155.8 pounds (had gained 0.6 pounds)
    CW (Current Weight): 153.8 pounds (lost 2.0 pounds)

    Last Saturday, I had gained for 3 weeks in a row. This past week, I resisted the desire to get take out more than once, didn't bring any more junkfood into the house, really tried to drink 8 glasses of water a day, logged my food Monday thru Friday (a frustrating, time consuming task for me) and I really tried to get back on track with better eating and mindful eating. This Saturday I am back down 2.0 pounds. Glad all my hardwork, dedication and commitment paid off. I weighed 153.8 pounds at 7am this morning for my official weigh in, which I logged into MFP but as usual MFP didn't post the loss in my newsfeed. Sigh. I went back to bed to rest and out of curiosity weighed myself again at 10am and I was 153.1 pounds which is a loss of 2.7 pounds. I am sticking with the first weigh in for my official weigh in but happy to know I am down an extra 0.7 pounds as now I have re-lost all the weight I gained the previous 3 weeks. Now time to lose some new weight and work hard not gain it back as that is the trend I seem to follow. Down 16.3 pounds from my highest weight in 2016. Still need to lose 25.8 pounds to get to my goal weight. Although discouraged that I have been losing and gaining the same pounds for about 20 years I keep pushing on to one day get to my goal weight and stay there!

    It is by FAR my favourite food, but I've been eating Cauliflower Crust Vegan pizzas or "healthy pizza" for the past year. Real cheese tonight! Omg haha!

    Your post is very relatable. I've lost and regained the same 15lbs for decades. Look forward to losing and staying that way! One day...

    Starting to get back in the game after traveling for parents and then being a mess for 3-4 days with bad allergies. I'm excited for next week and have made my grocery list. I am getting up early and getting things done.

    You did well! I only got 12 squares done. I missed all the exercise squares. Let’s do this again in about three weeks as a team challenge and see if we can get more participants. This week the group challenge is a fitness bingo. Check it out. @jessicakrall8 does an amazing job of coming up with group challenges each week.

    I totally relate to the losing and gaining. I have been gaining and losing the same 10 pounds for about 2.5 years. While I am proud of the weight I have lost (approximately 60 pounds) I really need to start a downward momentum. I know logging is a frustrating for you but you did awesome this week. It’s time for me to make myself exercise. I have got comfortable not exercising. Here’s to another great week.
