11/12-182.0 β (Trend Weight: 183.1) My food plan was good yesterday and no sugar drops. I had switched my lighter meal to night and my heavier meal midday and that did not work for me. I switched them back. Yes, it means I lay down for bed & tv with more calories unprocessed, but it helps (so far) with the glucose. I got kicked off my exercise bike last night after 22 minutes by my son, but thatβs okay because he definitely needs to lose weight more than me. While he did his spinning I made our 9:30 pm dinner then read 3 chapters of my book club book (meeting is Monday). Iβm a little behind on the reading. I also got some house cleaning in which got me up off my retired derriere. I mainly worked on the 2nd floor so there were lots of extra stairs yesterday. The 2nd floor mainly belongs to my DGS and he will be back tomorrow to nice smelling freshly washed sheets and blankets and all his crumbs vacuumed up. He will be turning 8 on November 29th s so he is still at an age where he appreciates everything. Those teenage years arenβt here yet!
π¦π¦π¦π¦ 11/13-183.4 β (Trend Weight: 183.2) Eyes popping out of head over here, arms crossed, brows furrowed. I did have an extra small snack last night but then got back on exercise bike for another 30 minutes (for a total of 75 minutes). You canβt outride the fork. Meals were on target and I got in lots of extra steps and movement with more housecleaning and organizing. This is a shock and a disappointment. Bad sleep (again) probably played into this as well. The neuropathy has been horrible in my feet the last few nights and there is just no getting past it. My fitbit readiness level showed 18 out of 100 today which is very low. DD and DGS will be back later this afternoon. We also have the book fair at 6:00 pm at school for DGS.

Iβm absolutely stunned by my weight gain this week. I cannot figure it out. For the first time in months, I added exercise to my life. Iβve been alternating going to the gym and swimming in the pool this last week. I have been trying to carefully log what I eat and counting calories. I have allowed myself less calories than previous attempts at weight loss. In the last seven days, Iβve only ever eaten one day by about 5 to 600 calories. I should not have gained weight even if I didnβt lose.
The exercise has been really difficult for me, but Iβve been doing it. Iβve started off small but make sure I do 30 minutes of cardio in the gym plus weight resistance or 30 minutes of non- stop swimming in the pool.
The previous week I lost weight. Then, I tried to tighten things up by adding exercise and consistently counting calories. It seems to have been a disaster.I added weight training as my doctor warned me that I will lose muscle while losing weight if I donβt. I wonβt give up, but it is really discouraging to see that number on the scale.3 -

@Melwillbehealthy Usually new exercise will bring on DOM. You can look up the effects of this but it usually includes swelling which will show up on the scale. Your body will adjust and the scale will improve over time. Hang in there! You doing all the right things!
@ozdeelite Nearly every single time you eat under 1400 calories, you show a loss. You are crushing it right now, my friend. It's working!

π¦π¦π¦π¦ 11/15-180.2 β (Trend Weight: 182.7) I strung two good days together in spite of DD and DGS being here. Last night I was brought a carry out appetizer from a restaurant about 2 Β½ hours away from my oldest DD. I hadnβt been to that restaurant since she graduated from college a couple of years ago. Wow, so good and something weβve never found anywhere else. I also didnβt exercise. So I was over on calories by about 250, Way Over on my carbs and no exercise. Otherwise, could I have dipped my toe into the 170βs? I guess weβll never know. Today I am STARVING which happens after a drop (3.2 lbs in 2 days!). Iβve got to plan wisely as my mind is already wandering to things like Pizza. Hang in there Donna!

My continuing goals: Drink more than 64 oz of water, 25+ grams of fiber, and 100+ grams protein.

11/15- 257.1 Yesterday was a lot of fiber. Probably too much. We did a shopping trip and ended up having lunch at the Chinese buffet. I did my best to pick protein and veg rich options over my regular noodle/rice dishes. I believe I've stayed within my calories, but the sodium usually slaps me aroundf. fingers crossed it's not too bad.

@Melwillbehealthy Im the same - itβs actually common for your body to gain when you start exercising. Give yourself time to adjust. The loss will come if you persist.
Hi all. Been a very lazy 3 weeks with no exercise- last time I exercised it bought on a severe flare up of fatigue which Iβm only just recovering from. So next week I will exercise.

@deepwoodslady thank you for your encouraging words. Sorry, but, what is DOM? Iβm unfamiliar with that acronym. Itβs funny you mentioned swelling as Iβve noticed it a lot in my legs. I thought it would go down as I started to lose weight, but it hasnβt.
@ozdeelite I canβt and wonβt give up! Iβm at a point in my life where I must lose weight and gain strength. Life isnβt fun right now. Trying to make it better by improving my health.

I'm Becca, 53, 5'6".
My continuing goals: Drink more than 64 oz of water, 25+ grams of fiber, and 100+ grams protein.
I'm going to try to get at least three days of activity, mixing strength and walking/jogging.
I ended October at 263.8

11/13-257.2
11/4- 256.5
11/15- 257.1 Yesterday was a lot of fiber. Probably too much. We did a shopping trip and ended up having lunch at the Chinese buffet. I did my best to pick protein and veg rich options over my regular noodle/rice dishes. I believe I've stayed within my calories, but the sodium usually slaps me aroundf.Β
fingers crossedΒ it's not too bad.11/16- 257.9 I stepped on the scale later today to give myself the best chance.
@Melwillbehealthy DOMS is generally delayed onset muscle soreness. For me it's generally muscle pain and water retention while the muscles repair themselves.

@Melwillbehealthy Herblackwingsat39 nailed the description of DOMS.

11/15-180.2 β (Trend Weight: 182.7) I strung two good days together in spite of DD and DGS being here. Last night I was brought a carry out appetizer from a restaurant about 2 Β½ hours away from my oldest DD. I hadnβt been to that restaurant since she graduated from college a couple of years ago. Wow, so good and something weβve never found anywhere else. I also didnβt exercise. So I was over on calories by about 250, Way Over on my carbs and no exercise. Otherwise, could I have dipped my toe into the 170βs? I guess weβll never know. Today I am STARVING which happens after a drop (3.2 lbs in 2 days!). Iβve got to plan wisely as my mind is already wandering to things like Pizza. Hang in there Donna!
SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH:
π¦π¦π¦π¦ 11/16-180.2 βοΈ (Trend Weight: 182.5) It was a very good day yesterday and I stayed uninfluenced by my foodie daughter. My planned exercise was on target too. I slept over 6 hours last night which was probably because it was only 2 hr 53 minutes the night before. I was hoping for a small change today on the scale that would allow me to dip my toe into the waters of the 170βs. However, no change today from yesterday except my trend weight down a tiny bit more. Iβm feel like Iβm working tooth and nail for and clawing my way to get to those illusive 170βs. While I would love for it to just drop in my lap, it doesnβt happen that way, does it? Iβm just another soldier marching on. Letβs keep going!

I envision the scene of Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed in βItβs a Wonderful Lifeβ as George & Mary Bailey (before marriage) dancing to and from that line that opens to the pool. Legs dangling over the edge, poised to fall in, over and over. And they absolutely do. And I will too. Likely many times. However, Iβll try not to focus on the water but, like them, enjoy the dance. Iβm so happy today I could scream! Iβve looked over my records for the past (many) years and traditionally I gain 2-4 pounds just in November alone. And then there is Decemberβ¦. However, I am going to focus on the fact that itβs mine to keep or mine to lose. I can decide.
