Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.

Previous posts:
8/4: 221.0
/tracked most of it; very little exercise; 70 oz water/
First full day back from a trip. Ate better, but my main exercise was pushing buttons on the TV remote watching Olympic stuff. I get totally absorbed in the hopes and dreams part of it, with the follow-on resulting excellence. Why can’t I do that? 😊
8/5: 220.0
/logged it all; exercised little; 80 oz water/
Travel pounds sluffing off, even with a vast card failure yesterday. Can I keep it going? ( not with carb failure and no exercise!)
8/6: 220.4
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Go figure. Bump up = catch up.
Prayers for the hard things I read about here in the last 24 hours of posts.

Very busy yesterday so I am logging two days today. Had a suspicious something biopsied on my nose yesterday. Results in a week. Another busy day today.

Catching up again! Doing a bad job of tracking it all. Many things want my attention these days. It’s a miracle the scale isn’t blowing up and sounding off like a cuckoo clock when I step on it.

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.6 -
@_JeffreyD_ I hope you find your reset button (something that helps you tame the beast) quickly. You're doing such a great job, I know you will be able to get your head back in the game soon. I know for me at least that this is such a mental, mindset battle I fight. I have faith in your ability to keep that scale from cuckooing at you!
@Jensmakingprogress and @quiltingjaine I missed the comment that precipitated Jaine's comment about it being easy to lose control with chocolate covered almonds, but it made me think about a snack that I do buy myself occasionally. Skinny dipped chocolate covered almonds are really good but are only dusted with cocoa instead of dipped in the liquid chocolate. They are more manageable for me and provide some protein too, so I do have a few on occasion.5 -

8/4 169.0 I honestly don’t understand this uptick. I had a very active day yesterday and ate only 1100 calories of mostly high protein food. Hoping for a swoosh soon, but Dad is back in the hospital and I’m here with him this morning so food and exercise will be atypical today.
8/5 167.8 I managed the hospital cafeteria well. There were several high protein choices and I was able to stay away from all the sweets which are 80% of their offerings. I’ve never understood why the food choices at hospitals are so unhealthy! I did go home last night and took a pill to help me sleep (not something I do very often), so I’m rested this morning. Fingers crossed for a better day today for Dad.
8/6 166.6 managed food well again yesterday and got in steps around the hospital but no real exercise. Hope to get Dad back to his Assisted Living today. We did get a diagnosis yesterday—metastatic cancer. Most likely lymphoma. He doesn’t want to pursue treatment at 93, so….
8/7 166.2 Hanging in there. Haven’t really eaten much the last couple days so this is probably an artificial drop.
8/8 165 I am not eating enough. This is not sustainable, but I’ve just not been hungry. What I have eaten though, is high protein and healthy.
8/9 166.2 Ate a little more yesterday and hit my macros. Got in a walk in the evening for the first time in a bit. Today is our 37th wedding anniversary and I am wearing a little black dress in a much smaller size tonight for a special dinner.
8/10 166.8 Comfort food day, and I know I was over on calories/carbs and short on protein. No Anniversary dinner or little black dress. That had to be postponed due to another hospital ER visit with Dad. Did get in some hospital walking—my new term for what I seem to be able to do these days.
8/11 166 Didn’t track and the day’s a blur, so, picking back up here.
8/12 166 Pulled a ton of weeds in my gardens and spent some quality time with Dad, so not much other exercise, but a good day.

Round 268
Female, 5'3.
35 years old
Starting weight: 160.9
8/5: 160.9. Starting weight.
8/6: 160.6. Tiring day, this is a busy week for us. On top of several appointments, our water heater started leaking. The plumber came and said we had to get the stand that it sits on replaced before he will put a new one in. Since we rent, we are at the mercy of our landlord for how quickly we can do that. There's always something. My eating wasn't great yesterday, but I tried to control it a bit. I'm not doing much for exercise right now, but I'm planning to start adding it in soon.
8/7: 158.8. Yesterday's goal was to log food. I wasn't really focusing on staying under my calorie goal, but I find just holding myself accountable for the food I eat tends to result in eating a bit more focused. As I result, I was under my calorie goal.
8/8: 158.0. My goal, again, was just to log. I was way over on my calories, but that's okay for now. It's a good reminder for me on how easy it is for calories to snesk in- I really didn't mean to have an 800 calorie breakfast! It wasn't even that outlandish, just 2 English muffins with egg, cheese and a little mayo. Oops. So while I have done all of this in the past, I still have to tackle the learning curve again.
8/9: 160.7. I had a heavy carb dinner last night (lasagna), so the bump up is probably water weight from that. I'm still tracking and still over on calories, but I'm getting closer to my goal. I'm planning to get more serious on staying under my goal next week.
8/10: 159.0. Yesterday was the first time I actually stayed under my calorie goal, so I'm happy about that. I even managed to say no to my husband when he asked if I wanted a breakfast burrito. The burritos we usually order are huge and packed with all kinds of goodness. I have no idea what the calories are on them, but I'm sure I'd be close to, or over, my daily goal just from that burrito.
8/11: 158.3. I spent some time yesterday planning my meals for the next week and went shopping to stock up on healthier choices. I also managed to get a short walk in. We're still in the thick of summer here in AZ, so it's usually too hot to go outside, especially as I would take my boys with me. Mornings aren't an option for me, since I use those few precious moments to take my boys outside to practice their walking with their gait trainers, and maybe some play time. All that to say, I'm still working on the physical activity side.
8/12: 158.2. I apparently forgot to put away the vegetable oil after cooking dinner last night. Big oops, lesson learned. One of my toddlers got a hold of it (plastic bottle, very luckily) and dumped it out all over himself and the kitchen. I threw the boys in the bath and took them for a walk in the wagon while my husband did a quick wipe down. After they went to bed, I did a deeper clean of the kitchen. Later, when I went in to check on them before I went to bed, the same wild child had his diaper off. He woke up while I was trying to put one on, and was very angry. I ended up sleeping on the couch with him, as he's generally a terrible sleeper and getting him to sleep in his bed would have been next to (or completely) impossible. So the relevant points of this saga, are: I actually cooked dinner yesterday, went for a walk, burned a few extra calories doing some extra cleaning, but slept poorly last night. So, thanks Zach, I guess?

Time to post my cheat!
2-3T Oikos high protein plain yogurt
Several squirts of Stevia, vanilla flavoring
1T Dark chocolate sugar-free chips
2 strawberries - sliced.
Optional: 1T slivered /roasted almonds
This is soooooo good!

RND 266 SW 212.0 EW 208.0
RND 267 SW 207.4 EW DNW
RND 268 SW 208.2
Goals:
🧠Refocus and daily reminders that the scale is just a tool not a determining factor. 📊Weight is just a number to track data
🥩Increase my protein intake
🚰🏋️♀️Maintain water and exercise
8/4 208.2 The last week played havoc on my mental health. Between the stress of a sick cat, job woes, and frustration with this journey I found myself in a spiral this weekend. Yesterday I was close to throwing in the towel and giving up. This morning on my walk with the dog I reminded myself this is not something to “give up” because I’m making changes that will last forever. That means a rough week doesn’t negate all of the progress I’ve made over the last 3 months. I need to recognize the struggles and work through them this week. It’s a new month and new round with a new daily mantra reminding myself that the scale does not determine success. I do.
8/5 205.6 Decided I needed a better measurement than the scale to check my progress. I went to the thrift store and bought jeans in smaller sizes. When I got home I tried them on just to see how they fit, expecting all of them to be too small. To my surprise, one of the pairs actually fit. It was a little tight, but I’d wear them and feel good in them. My DH called the clothes my victory clothes and I’m in agreement with him. It felt like a victory putting on a pair of jeans that was 3 sizes smaller than the shorts I’d had on.
8/6 205.4 Went through my closet last night and tried on some of the clothes I’ve shoved in the back because I didn’t like how they looked on me (or I didn’t like how I felt wearing them). Added some to the donation pile because I still don’t like them and there’s no need to keep them. Kept a few because I put them on and felt good. I looked good.
8/7 205.4 I’m good with this considering I ate Cheez Its around 1am. Talk about late night binge.
8/8 205.2 Another late night binge, but a drop in weight. Either the increase in food is helping me drop weight or it’s going to show up in the next couple of days. Either way, I’m going to count this as a win.
8/9 205.0
8/10 205.6 D&D last night, which brings snacking and late nights with not enough water or movement. This bump is expected, but better than I thought it would be. Tried chocolate covered almonds and they were really good. So that’s a win.
8/11 205.2
8/12 203.6 I’m not sure about this. I have no reason for the drop, especially since I spent the weekend resting. Lower activity, lower water, and not great food choices. I stayed in my calories and watched my micros, but could have done better. However, for the day, I’ll take it.6 -

08/11 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW) Disruptions this morning with DGS so I didn’t get the weigh in before drinking water. Probably no progress though due to several glasses of sparkling wine last night. Meals, otherwise, were pretty good.
08/12 -DNW- (Trend weightDNW) My oldest daughter sent me a loaf of fresh zucchini bread made from her garden veg. I didn’t need to weigh to know that I continue to be up. My diet has been bad and we can’t outrun the fork so I just want to bury my head in the sand and stay clueless. I do usually get in a lot more movement over the weekends because my younger DD and DGS are here so hopefully that movement helped. Babysitting him keeps me on my toes!

What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

Comments pertain to previous day
SW RND 268 132.0
8/4 132.0 I slept wrong and have a tweaked muscle in my upper back. My wake up h/a is gone, Fosamax taken and coffee consumed. DH wants to go to the gym “early” but is still sleeping. I prefer the gym in the early afternoon. Today’s high is supposed to be 113.
8/5 132.5 Awake @4:28AM - too darn early. The bump is from the churro I ate at El Pollo Loco on Saturday evening. My muscle is still tweaked but I plan to go to the gym anyway.
8/6 132.0 Gym was good. Walked, cycled, hip machines, row, back extension, chest - 52 minutes on my HRM. Nothing seems to be sore today. I am craving GARLIC! Do you think I’m pregnant? LOL
8/7 133.0 My own “fault” - dealing with depression (his and mine) and I’m tired of guessing what he will want to eat when I would be happy with hamburgers (no buns) every day. We went to Taco Bell for the first time in about 7 years. Cheap, filling, and anything but low carb! Teeth cleaning today. Gotta get my act together!
Got caught up on posts then lost my internet signal. 🤦♀️ The wind was howling last night and continues this morning.
8/8 132.0 Endocrinologist appointment this afternoon. I know my test results are screwed up by eating only protein and zero vegetables for 4 weeks due to temporary crowns.
8/9 131.5 Endocrinologist visit was good. She was not concerned about the slightly high creatine/protein level. She is ordering Prolia twice yearly. We have to wait for the insurance to agree and order it. Hopefully not too long as we go to Oklahoma a month from tomorrow!
8/10 131.5 Oops, I double booked for today. Planned to get together with gal pals at 3 and then added going to Golden Corral at 2 with DH and a friend whose wife is out of town. We gal pals have not gotten together in almost a YEAR! Gal pals win!
8/11 132.5 No crazy eating but did have adult beverage. Alcohol and fresh pineapple effect. A super low carb drink but the liver still has to process the alcohol so slows the body down. Today Great Greek.
8/12 132.0 Glad to see this since I ordered spanakopita at lunch. I wasn’t particularly hungry so ate 1 piece of steak and poked at salad.5 -

8/4. 137.0. The highest I have been in seven months! 👣✏️
8/5. 136.3. Hit the gym for some bonus points today. Starting this round off on a better note. 🏋️♀️👣✏️
8/6. 136.9. I let some after 8:00 pm snacking get the better of me last night and was still short on water intake. Made it to the gym and did a 2 mile walk with my dog. Was totally on target with everything today! 🏋️♀️👣✏️💧🚫
8/7. 134.8. See what following the plan can do! Now I just need to do it again. One day at a time! Made it to the gym 3 days in a row! 🏋️♀️👣✏️💧🚫
8/8. 134.9. Dealing with getting estimates from folks that can clean out our crawl space from a burst main water line… need old , wet insulation and vapor liner removed and replaced. Also need estimates from a plumber to repair the pipe. Luckily our neighbor was able to plumber us in with a temporary solution so we can have water and not pay for emergency repairs. So… no gym for me today and probably not tomorrow. 👣✏️💧🚫
8/9. 133.9. 👣✏️💧🚫
8/10. 133.7. Busy day doing some second crop planting of potatoes in the garden. Trying to stay steady on this hot day. We have a slight cool down next week… I will take it! 👣✏️💧🚫
8/11. 134.3. Guessing this bump up is either from the creamy Cajun chicken pasta or the fresh blackberry cobbler. ✏️💧

R268 Starting Weight: 181.4
It's been almost 10 years of "reasons" as to why I can't lose weight, and I'm tired of my own excuses.
I am here to take back control of my life, 10 days at a time.
8/4: - DNW. Went out for a nice breakfast and then out to a music festival. A whole lot of good food and a whole lot of walking in 100 degree heat. Was a great day though!
8/5: 181.4 - X
8/6: 180.0 - I did the 10 day challenge quite a bit ago and it was amazing! There was a lot that happened in the past two months, but it's been a week of sticking to workouts and I feel quite better in my headspace. I am only holding myself back from a future of self-love and accomplishment, and I want to not feel embarrassed around people anymore.
8/7: 179.8 - Getting sick again. I swear this summer is just crazy amounts of my being sick.
8/8: 181.2 - X
8/9: 181.8 - Just the beginning of this week, I told myself I wouldn't miss 2 days in a row of working out or counting calories. But when I get sick, I always tend to get sick hard. Body has been ACHING the past 2 days so I've been laying around in bed. Body aches seem to be gone so far this morning but now I gotta get ready for the possible flooding and storms rolling through today from the hurricane. Definitely looking forward to getting something done for me at some point of today!
8/10: 179.6 - Feeling a lot better today. Of course last Saturday was a family party with TONS of food that I overate. Today is a family party with TONS of food that I will have to try and keep myself away from. And next Saturday is my son's birthday party at my place where it will be insanely difficult to stay away from a lot of food. This is crazier than the holidays for me I swear……
8/11: 180.2 - X
8/12: 179.8 - My body is absolutely tired from being outside doing yard work from morning until night yesterday. Definitely overate today. I think I have come to realize that the more tired I am, the hungrier I am.

🎷 66 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 268 (my 198th). So grateful as always @Quiltingjaine for another round.
I’ve been MIA the last few days, been so busy!! We have been at The British Transplant Games; little DGS took part in the under 5’s events, DH & I volunteered. Such an amazing heartwarming event for transplant recipients, donors and their families, all of us there have so similar stories, it is one big family. My food over these days has been totally off, now need to get back in the saddle (to quote _JeffreyD_ 😊).
Goals for this round;
• First and foremost, no feeding frenzies
• to lose!
I need to remain consistent - it does work! Good luck for success everyone.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.*****

8/4 DNW
8/5 DNW
8/6 141 – (trend 140) – starting strong this morning BUT --- afternoon tea for DS’s 65th birthday today together with my other DSs, so that might be, no will be, a challenge, will eat very light the rest of the day.
8/7 141 – (trend 140.1) – 8.93 miles walked, 227 calories over.
8/8 141 - (trend 140.2) 6.91 miles walked, on plan, scale must move soon!
8/9 142 - (trend 140.5) no structured walking, child minding DGS. Wiped out the good days this week with a bad day yesterday ☹. Why ?
8/10 DNW - away for the weekend in Far Forest by Bewdley, walked 9.46 miles yesterday.
8/11 DNW – 5.57 miles walked.
8/12 140.6 – (trend 140.8) 11.66 miles walked, pleased the tide has turned.
8/13 140.2 – (trend 140.7) 8.89 miles walked. Not proud of my pattern at the moment, too many peaks in my eating wipes out good habits on other days and then scrambling to recover, yet again I am saying this; I must take full control consistently of daily eating habits in the hope that this time I stay strong.
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!! 👍👍.

@Zaxa2021 oh boy toddlers will definitely give you some extra exercise!! It’s so hard to have any time to focus on yourself during this stage of life. Good job this round with being present and aware of what you’re eating. Small steps towards success!
@khahn72856 Looks like your camping trip did not derail your progress!

This was a good round for me, I am finally breaking through my summer plateau. Dare I say I might make it to my next level over the next few rounds??
DH is home with a terrible head cold, I’m keeping my distance. lol I wish he would keep his, but instead he’s moping all over the house touching things.
Again I need to focus on water, still not drinking enough!

I joined this group in Rnd 245 on Dec 18 2023, when I realized I was eating my way through the holidays; I finally got on the scale and was hovering just under 150 lbs. It took about 4 months to reach my goal weight of 125. Sounds great, but I’ve done this before, which is why I’m still here.
It’s not just about losing, it’s about changing the habits of a lifetime that keep me stuck in self-defeating cycles with food.

* don’t stress- it’s always busy before a vacation
* weigh every morning, especially when I don't want to

8/13 ending this 10 days with good stability again; tomorrow AM will be here to start the next; in the afternoon we head to the airport.
Two years ago, after reaching 125 in April I stopped weighing; when I finally got on a scale in September I was 133 and climbing. By Christmas I was 140, and a year later 147. I gained it all back.
That's the behavior I'm trying to change. This time I'm bringing the scale. See you for Rnd 269.7 -

8/4 169.0 I honestly don’t understand this uptick. I had a very active day yesterday and ate only 1100 calories of mostly high protein food. Hoping for a swoosh soon, but Dad is back in the hospital and I’m here with him this morning so food and exercise will be atypical today.
8/5 167.8 I managed the hospital cafeteria well. There were several high protein choices and I was able to stay away from all the sweets which are 80% of their offerings. I’ve never understood why the food choices at hospitals are so unhealthy! I did go home last night and took a pill to help me sleep (not something I do very often), so I’m rested this morning. Fingers crossed for a better day today for Dad.
8/6 166.6 managed food well again yesterday and got in steps around the hospital but no real exercise. Hope to get Dad back to his Assisted Living today. We did get a diagnosis yesterday—metastatic cancer. Most likely lymphoma. He doesn’t want to pursue treatment at 93, so….
8/7 166.2 Hanging in there. Haven’t really eaten much the last couple days so this is probably an artificial drop.
8/8 165 I am not eating enough. This is not sustainable, but I’ve just not been hungry. What I have eaten though, is high protein and healthy.
8/9 166.2 Ate a little more yesterday and hit my macros. Got in a walk in the evening for the first time in a bit. Today is our 37th wedding anniversary and I am wearing a little black dress in a much smaller size tonight for a special dinner.
8/10 166.8 Comfort food day, and I know I was over on calories/carbs and short on protein. No Anniversary dinner or little black dress. That had to be postponed due to another hospital ER visit with Dad. Did get in some hospital walking—my new term for what I seem to be able to do these days.
8/11 166 Didn’t track and the day’s a blur, so, picking back up here.
8/12 166 Pulled a ton of weeds in my gardens and spent some quality time with Dad, so not much other exercise.
8/13 165.4 Good way to end the round! Saw someone yesterday I haven’t seen in months and she was very complimentary. I’m feeling much better in my skin these days.9 -

8/4 ⚖️EW267 131.0
8/4 DNW (using 131.0 as start)
8/5 135.0
✅Level Up! 🚫 no logging or 📝 since Friday 8/2 - I weighed 131.0. Yesterday:🚶♀️8k 💤6hrs
I went off “plan” this past weekend, but did NOT go “off the rails”. When I stepped on the scale I thought, I’m gonna weigh 135 and sure enough I was 100% accurate! I feel like a BLOB.
When I was out with the girls Sat, I was “good” but I drank 2 mezcals w/fresh lime… one piece of Keylime pie. Lots of mineral water… Yesterday we went to lunch with friends - had an “organic” Wagu pita sandwich and an ice cream cone last night. Still, plenty water. Saturday - 🚶♀️10k, 🏋️♀️ And I played three hours of tennis yesterday morn before lunch…. My body simply amazes me. Craves routine, then short-circuits when I choose to take a detour. REVOLUTION! It really is a total system and mine needs routine. I’m guessing it’ll take me three days off 💦💦💦and ROUTINE to remove the bloat. What a way to start a round!!
Will analyze “me” today, track and reset! Just give me EIGHT DAYS!
Let’s go!
8/6 ✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶♀️12k 💤8hrs, 🏋️♀️20 min
P:E = 2:1, P= 124g
⚖️ I do expect ⚖️to drop more today/tomorrow… I literally saw puffs/pockets of fluid all over my body yesterday. What a trip! I don’t know what I ate that sent me into this zone … Maybe restaurant food, hidden seed-oils, crab boil, inducing wacko- bio-rhythms / “system-failure”. My body is probably saying “what the heck did you do to me?!!!!” To gain 4lbs and lose 2 practically overnight is NOT healthy. And, it didn’t feel good. I felt terrible - not psychologically for “going off plan/routine” but physically. Still coming out of the fog.
Yesterday was a good day re-entering normalcy. Continue to reset today.
NSV: Lesson learned: stick to what works to keep steady/even routine. I also learned that if something is too difficult to track – don’t eat it.
8/7 131.2
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶♀️13k 💤7hrs, 🏋️♀️20min 🎾
P:E = 2:1, P= 99g 💦💦💦
I pre-logged nutrition yesterday — then forgot to drink my protein shake… so protein under but ratio good. 💦💦💦 is key.
I’m still in amazement of how I spiked 4lbs and then ⬇️. I am grateful that I understand it was a “systems/routine” conundrum and not what I put in my mouth - only when. 🏋️♀️ heavy yesterday- progressing. Today will be another day getting back in routine. Meeting a dear friend for coffee this morning - visiting with her will be a real treat.
🚶♀️🏋️♀️🎾📝 💦.
8/8 131.2
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶♀️15k 💤8hrs, 🏋️♀️15 min 🎾
P:E = 1.36:1, P= 109g 💦💦💦
Woke up with a slightly bruised shoulder from the fall … annoying. Cant keep me down.
Did not eat enough yesterday. Needed to eat some protein after tennis but just too tired so I showered and went to bed. Under eating days like yesterday never show up on the scale. 😃😎. Definitely back on routine today.
Night tennis impacts my systems negatively…. But gosh I love it! (Rough sleep & dehydration).
Will have a good day today once I wake up! And ☕️…
PS: 16 years ago today 08/08/08 my DH popped the question…. We are celebrating over coffee this morn and steak 🥩 tonight….
Ahhhhhh the simple life. I’m blessed!
8/9 DNW
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶♀️6k 💤5hrs, 🏋️♀️30min
P:E = 2:1, P= 140g 💦
Woke up @ 3AM so DNW. Took a rest day yesterday, except for 🏋️♀️. Did not play tennis or go for a structured walk… Simply too hot - took a two hour nap. Dinner out was nice. Today will be strong.
8/10 133.0
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday:🚶♀️6k 💤7hrs, P:E = 1.2:1, P= 130g 💦
Not understanding the ⚖️ this morn. Honestly expecting 131.x … not concerned just unexpected. Ate well and “rested” again yesterday. All systems go. Will do my thing today. Plenty 💦💦💦. Will be another scorcher. Onward!
⚖️🚨‼️Pay attention: My trend weight is definitely ⬆️, so pay close attention to make sure this will not stick!
8/11 ⚖️ 131.4
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday: 🏋️♀️25min🚶♀️10k 💤8hrs,
P:E = 1.8:1, P= 140g 💦
I’m getting more used to the wild ⚖️ fluctuations… Definitely all about timing. Had a much better routine yesterday. Will stay the course today. Super important to pay attention to trend lines.
Remember, I mentioned, my dear friend that I hadn’t seen in a long while and we were having lunch last week? FYI sharing: She was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer, and took a leap of faith and chose to go holistic. She had surgery to remove the cancer and then refused chemo/ radiation. Opted instead for nutrition. Cancer free for 14 months and counting. She never missed a beat and feels terrific. Best shape of her life at age 55.
Disclaimer: This is not a recommendation - just an FYI.
8/12⚖️ 130.2
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday: 🚶♀️10k 💤8hrs,
P:E = 1.6:1, P= 125g 💦
⚖️ This has been the craziest scale ride JGMTD challenge that I have experienced! Wild fluctuations! This ⬇️ is as unexpected as the other day when it ⬆️. The only thing I can attribute this to is spending 20 minutes in the steam / sauna yesterday…. Ate well, 🎾 ,🚶♀️and 💦💦. Good sleep 💤 this week too … Will 🏋️♀️today. Let’s finish 💪🏻!
I get to see my DGS today!
NSV - Trusting my body and not the scale… Staying on plan, and knowing results will come - vs - letting the scale ruin my day. The scale has been my nemesis…. vs. my trustworthy informant. A year ago I started this challenge to stop the emotional 🎢 roller coaster… I wont say I’ve conquered it 100% - but it’s pretty darn close….

8/13 ⚖️ 129.8
✅Level Up! 💯 Yesterday: 🚶♀️9k 💤8hrs, P:E = 1.54:1, P= 154g 💦💦💦
Should I own this drop? I’ve been on a plateau of 130-132 after steady 129ish for a few weeks in early July, & not knowing why my weight hovered and drifted up… Maybe a breakthrough? Am I adding more muscle? I honestly do not know because this round has been highly unusual. All measures on target and routine back steady…. Did sleeping consistently well make the difference? Lower cortisol? No stress?
Missed🏋️♀️last two days so will make sure I get in a solid, sweaty session today. 💪🏻
R268 - I give myself an A+ 🌹for staying on plan, not freaking out over the scale, measuring /tracking and being mindful/present. Grateful!

Month/Day: Scale Reading - First thing today after bathroom visit before getting dressed.
/ Logged Food - yesterday; Exercise – yesterday; water - yesterday / Comment
Previous posts:
8/4: 221.0
/tracked most of it; very little exercise; 70 oz water/
First full day back from a trip. Ate better, but my main exercise was pushing buttons on the TV remote watching Olympic stuff. I get totally absorbed in the hopes and dreams part of it, with the follow-on resulting excellence. Why can’t I do that? 😊
8/5: 220.0
/logged it all; exercised little; 80 oz water/
Travel pounds sluffing off, even with a vast card failure yesterday. Can I keep it going? ( not with carb failure and no exercise!)
8/6: 220.4
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Go figure. Bump up = catch up.
Prayers for the hard things I read about here in the last 24 hours of posts.
8/7: 219.8
8/8: 218.2
/logged; exercised; 70 oz water/
Very busy yesterday so I am logging two days today. Had a suspicious something biopsied on my nose yesterday. Results in a week. Another busy day today.
8/9: 218.0
8/10: 218.0
8/11: 219.2
8/12: 219.2
/?; ?; ?/
Catching up again! Doing a bad job of tracking it all. Many things want my attention these days. It’s a miracle the scale isn’t blowing up and sounding off like a cuckoo clock when I step on it.
8/3: 221.6
SW on day before this round.
8/13: 217.4
/no; NO and ?/
This is quite a drop, probably because of yesterday’s turn of events… I bent over to put away my breakfast dishes and out of nowhere tweaked my back. It hurt so bad it dropped me to my knees. I spent the rest of the day in bed icing it, or sitting like a statue. DW waited on me hand and foot. Still in a lot of pain this morning.
I have had a bad back for years, but this is a bigger event. I will wait it out for a couple days before seeking medical attention. I need to pay more attention to “back care,” i.e. stretching, abdominal exercise; movement. Oh, and I will stop doing my own breakfast dishes. 😉 Just kidding.
See you next round (I hope)
