@wavybabygray It is really hard to be patient, and it is baby steps (and sometimes what feels like a long pause.) Your progress is that you continue to show up in spite of your frustration. And you're showing a commitment to yourself, and that's what is most important. It is a marathon, not a sprint.

I get very impatient, and recently read this post and found it quite encouraging, perhaps you will too. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10922383/patience-is-indeed-a-virtue

Let's just keep trying our best!

Thank you, @mtaratoot !
I'm Chris - 74 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
My husband and I are retired.
I see my trainer for 60 mins three days a week and try to walk the other four days. The walking doesn't always work out.

Time to get back on it! I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I got to get it under control.

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

09/08-189.6-(Trend Weight: 190.9)-

09/15-193.2-(Trend Weight: 191.6)- Bad news-The scale is up after the medical trip/testing and I’ve got my work cut out for me. It’s been a struggle since I got home and out of sync. Good news-The Mammogram went well. I am still in remission on the cancer side and the suspicious side is remaining stable so I don’t have to go back for 1 year this time. The oncologist appointment went well too so fingers crossed! I have two separate days of travel next week but I hope I can make good away-from-home choices and keep it clean on my home days. The scale needs to go down, not up.

09/22-193.8-(Trend Weight: 193.5)- It was a rough week filled with more travel than even expected. Bad meal choices at the restaurants and the typical lack of movement while traveling has really wreaked havoc on the scale. I feel bloated, puffy, and have a muffin top that I’m not very proud of. Even the pull-on shorts are feeling tight. Time to get serious and show myself some love again in the form of exercise and smart healthy choices in my meals. Snacks are my biggest downfall and I simply must get control.

Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!
