    I'm in Arizona. It's tough on days that my boys have their physical and speech therapy in the morning, because we don't get to go outside at all on those days.

    Ended week 5 with an overall caloric deficit of 1600.

    And Week 6 starts…

    7 day trend is 1 lb lower than 7 days ago. But 7 days ago we were getting back from camping. Tomorrow we are leaving for another 5 day camping trip. My goal is to not gain while camping and my even better if is to continue to lose while camping.

    @age_is_just_a_number "I said that earlier today in a response to Jon with his incredibly consistent 1.5 to 2 lbs loss every week for 5 straight weeks"

    Thanks, I started my loss again, but this is 4th or 5th time in the last 20 years doing this. My success is really starting slow, just starting to honestly log weight and calories, really helps to know where I started. I always (100% of the time) log something before it hit my lips. So I can decide is this really what I want! I started the first week just weighing myself, and logging, no calories goals so I could see what I was doing. Then I started at 1850 calories, hit that for a week and lowered each week by 80ish, till I got to 1580 where I am now. Not going lower, and days I really hit it with the bike, I might consume 300+ more calories, but I burn 800 more. The only person I am cheating when I eat over is me, I like to think of it as cheating even if it isn't. Because it makes me feel good to cheat now and then, with a candy bar or a ice cream sandwich. Makes me feel naughty which is good for the psychology.

    Being a science nerd, I always thought it would be easy to go to Mars, instant weight loss but my mass would be the same ;) So I am always in mass loss mode.

    I have the exact same attitude as you lately. Now that I have my bedroom and bathroom back I have been SLOWLY bringing things back in. All the bathroom things from towels, rugs, shower mats, beach towels, linen closet items, first aid, beauty supplies and vanity items are in about 6 large boxes downstairs in the basement. I bring up an arm full per day. I have enough beauty creams and supplies (day, night, retinol, wrinkle, red light therapy face masks, red light therapy hats for hair, face rollers, etc) to last a young person's lifetime. At my tender age of 65 I could never live long enough to use all the day and night creams alone! I'm trying to sort through and maybe share with my daughters but it's hard to let go. They were all very very EXPENSIVE.

    For the closet, my clothing is all over the guest bedroom. Hangers all over the bed, a coffee table to hold folded items, over 200 pair of shoes and boots, dresses, coats, cardigans, all of it. It's all over the desk, nightstands. I mean, someone came in there and threw up clothing. And in all different sizes too, not to mention that Michigan is a 4 season state so quadruple of everything. Just in the pants catagory I have jeans, sweatpants, dressier joggers, leggings and yoga pants. I mean who needs this much? It's ridiculous! But it's hard to let go of my clothing too. What helps is if it doesn't fit because those can at least be stored. And who needs this many shoes? I know there is over 100 pair of sandals alone and in Michigan we have about 90 days to wear them most years. It's crazy.

    So it may take me awhile to do my projects, just like you. But in the end, when committed, we will be better for it. Yep, things will be better because we "took our time" and did our projects right. I look at my stretching out of this project as an opportunity to go up and down stairs everyday for a few more steps and some good movement. It counts, right? LOL
