Donna, thank you for following up on the “missing.”2 -
@Chapter_3 THIS (Discipline is the strongest form of self love. It’s ignoring something you want right now for something better later on. Discipline reveals the commitment that you have to your dreams, especially on the days you don’t want to follow through…. The future you is depending on the current you to keep the promises you made to yourself yesterday.) is the most inspiring thing I've read in a long time! Thank you for sharing it with us!

It does seem like a lot of water but if you do it on increments I think it might be easier.4 -

Day/Weight/Comment
03/06 …..177.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
03/07 -177.4- (Trend weight 178.7) I have been flirting around in the high 170’s for the past 4 Months. If you look at my spoiler above this post you will see that in the last 10 rounds I have lost 2.6 lbs but in the 10 rounds prior to that I lost 17.6 lbs. So I spent some time last night going back over my MFP food diary to those dates to see what I was doing/eating that helped facilitate the 17.6 lb loss. I found I was cooking more and relying less on processed or frozen foods. Because of that my sodium counts were half of what it has been lately indicating I am probably retaining more water also. I seemed to have at least two days per week that were very low calorie between 1000 and 1200 with the rest mainly meeting my goal of around 1400. On all days my carbs were staying in my range of 80 or under. My glucose numbers were getting in better control which affects fat storage big time. I have mentally noted some of the foods I was eating and will go back to some of those menus soon. Of course there are variables, like the fact that I was still taking a water pill every other day. Other medications were slightly different. Foodie holidays were included in the 2.6 block and the winter snowy weather affected my outside activity. This confuses things a bit, but I can clearly see a difference in my diet as well. I hope that by sharing all this it will encourage others when they reach a plateau (or are finding things difficult) to look back at those diaries on good days or months and remind yourself what was working in your diet or exercise routines. Logging is invaluable for the information it continues to provide. So…… I am happy to be typing in pink today because in many of the challenges lately I have started day one in a gain (blue) and end up just chasing my tail the whole round which is Not progress. Good luck everyone and Welcome to all the New Friends who are joining us this round. This is a safe, fun and informative place to be and I am so glad you are here!

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 253 (my 183rd). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! Scale still being erratic, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!) with walking mileage as well as food. Must concentrate on consistency, really want to get back. And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

/food logged; group exercise; 66 oz water/ I will take this scale-reading and run. Now to keep my head straight today. I often have a mindset that since my weight took a little dive, it won’t hurt to indulge a little. DOH! I see that today’s Rotary Club lunch is stir-fryed something-or-other with egg rolls. A good test of my self control.
Our Rotary lunches are prepared by a local “resource center” where adult people with developmental disabilities spend their day on various activities. One of their units is a catering business and they do a FANTASTIC job. I love that our club supports this business. The food is always really good and made with fresh ingredients. There is always a good green salad and fruit option on the buffet if you want to avoid or supplement the main course for some reason. Trust me, the only reason I would avoid the main course is because it is high in carbs or calories. Or, maybe the homemade dessert looks like a suitable alternative that day.
3/08: 222.6
/Logged every bite & sniff; walked; drank 78 oz. water/
If I can keep this rolling it may be a productive round. Today begins the weekend which is my kryptonite. It’s a metaphor folks, I am not superman.
An NSV these last couple days… my clothes fit a little better, by a factor greater than the small amount of weight I have lost. I feel much better in my leotard and cape… uh I mean my jeans and sweatshirt.
Half my weight in ounces of water is 111. That is a lot of water. About 3.3 fills of my one-liter bottle. I need to start early and budget some bathroom time for the day.
Up, up and away.
3/06: 224.4
Starting weight on day before this round.
3/09: 223.8
/logged; floor exercise; 98 oz. water/
I can’t expect to lose every day. I can’t forget my yoyo tendencies. This reading is also 4.2# less than ten days ago so there’s that. Keeping it positive.
Yesterday’s food was under budget, but maybe a few too many cookies. DW did a little baking yesterday to share with friends (and me.) And a colleague took me to lunch yesterday. Smoked meatloaf sandwich and homemade potato chips. Didn’t eat the bun, but the chips were annihilated.
Lots of water in my life yesterday. Water in. Water out.

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.8 -

3/9- DNW I didn’t bring any snacks for the car ride which is a big win for me. Eating in the car is a really bad habit for me that I’ve been working on.
Meals were easy yesterday and my calories were good. Went for a nice bike ride to the park with the 5yr old and played hard.
I’ll have to reign it in today as I’ve already had a coffee with sugar AND a donut!! I just couldn’t resist Tim Horton’s!6 -
