Happy Wednesday! My errant ways are showing up on the scale this week. Now that our cold weather is mostly gone, I don't feel the need to eat like I'm preparing for hibernation, so I have hope that next week will be better! I've been getting a little more walking in and still using that infinity hoop.

Good morning All!
I was traveling for a week and it gets me out of my routine for workouts. Not good for my nutrition either. Getting back at it today. Reported yesterday's weight, but one good day and the water weight is gone and today is 146.5. Working to stay focused.

Not a lot of progress, but not going up! I have been weight training 3X per week; gaining muscle, loosing body fat and feeling stronger and healthier. All good results while the scale stays the same. Goal by end of March is 145 lbs. Should be doable !

I had a thought today that a weight loss challenge is a little like the stock market. We post results on a regular basis and measure success in gains vs. losses. @chrisanderson2126 mentioned aiming for the trajectory and I think that mirrors long-term investment strategies. This investment is even more important, because it's in ourselves. Happy Friday, y'all!5

01/22-191.4-(Trend Weight: 192.8)-
01/29-192.4-(Trend Weight: 192.5)- I jump of 1.2 lbs overnight did not help. My trend weight is doing good because its been a decent week. Today I travel and will be eating at a restaurant. I must watch my p’s and q’s. I would like to finish out this month with some sort of loss. I just can’t let myself keep going backwards!
01/31-191.2-(Trend Weight: 192.4)- Much better than my last weigh in a couple of days ago. I had one day of travel these past couple of days, but I think I handled it well with no gain the following day. That really helped the cause. Down 1.4 lbs this month. Dreaming of my summer clothes and hoping they will fit still. It’s only a few short months away! I’ll have to look at my stats and see where I stood last summer. Fingers crossed! I’m a little (okay, A LOT) disappointed that the longest month of this entire challenge has come and gone and I could not even meet my initial monthly goal. With that trajectory, I will not make challenge goal either and that really irks me. All I can do is move forward, do my best and get as far as I can go on the petro I have left in me. Zoom Zoom!

02/01-191.8-(Trend Weight: 192.3)- My scale weight is up a bit after a very late night (2 AM) meal but my trend weight continues to go down. I’m glad it has faith in me as it is aligning with my faith in myself. A small overnight blip that should flush away rather quickly after the high-sodium soup. I have zero intention of chasing my own tail this month! Let’s go!

Thank you, @Walela617 !
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 since we have our Grandson every morning. He's 2 years old and a pistol!!
