That's a good idea. I'll see what happens this coming weigh in day, maybe it will be better this week. If not, the mean might be the best option for a more accurate view.

Tempting, but that would put me a noticeable amount below 1000 calories which seems like a bad idea for me personally. I'm going to try walking on the treadmill more, I need to strengthen my heart anyway.

I had some weird news this morning. I weighed myself on whim and I'm lower than I've been in over a decade... 212.1 lb. down from my high last year of 255 lb. But for no apparent reason! I was active and kept to my calories this week but it makes no sense. And it's actually a touch frustrating because I KNOW it will pop…

@trooworld I will check out the article, thank you! No exercise for me for a couple of days. I didn't check the ingredient list of something I ate in from a restaurant, and ended up in the ER. Fortunately, I keep Benadryl and an epi pen on hand! The steroid they gave me knocked out the rest of it, but I need to rest three…

I'm eating 70-80 grams of protein a day. Should I aim higher?

I had 2 NSV tonight! I got cleaned up to go out to dinner, put on a properly fitting set of clothes, and discovered that despite the scale not moving, I LOOK thinner and fit into smaller stuff! When we went to dinner I had carefully calculated what I could have, and I ended up not being able to finish my meal, cause I was…

I kinda went nuts eating wise yesterday. The big mistake was getting Wendys AND Krispy Kreme. I ate two days of meals (including 4 doughnuts) over the day. I am hoping to be back on track today. I need to figure out how to have treats without gorging. Also, I get hungry later at night, and I need to figure out how to deal…

I'm getting better at keeping my calories on track. I haven't been feeling well, so no exercise classes scheduled for this week. But helping move stuff into my mom's new place will probably burn calories!

Welcome, @bobboyardee !

My body is out to get me, I'm convinced of it. I am routinely heaviest on my official weigh-in days for some reason. Weigh-in day yesterday- 216. Very next day- 214.3. Bad body, naughty.

Check in time! SW: 255 PW: 216.7 CW: 216 Actual progress! I'm shocked!

Hi, thought I'd check in. It's the height of ragweed season, so I am having a bit of trouble functioning. Head congestion is making moving uncomfortable and resulting in a bit of a brain fog. My air filters keep me alive, but I feel so much better after sunset, when the pollen clears! Since moving isn't great for me during…

A little bit frustrated today. Even when I keep my calories under control, my weight bounces up and down. Today it was almost back to 220 lb. even though I've been watching my calories! Tomorrow is weigh in day, and I suspect I will be up, regardless of what I do. It makes me feel out of control, and like I shouldn't try.…

I am feeling better today, so gym class is go this evening. I am, however, sulking because I somehow gained 2 lb. overnight despite being too sick yesterday to eat much! I know, I know, not weigh in day, water weight happens. It's just irritating; I feel a little doomed today. I've planned a good set of meals today with…

Sick again, and got everyone else in my household sick as well. It's just a cold, but being sick so often gets irritating. I should be well by tomorrow (I hope), so I am going to an exercise class at the gym!

@Katmary71 I reweighed myself at the proper time and lost weight LOL. Whichever one you want to use? The one at the proper time was: SW: 255 PW: 216.6 CW: 214.7

Sorry I've been quiet, I've been sick several times this week. I slept badly and ended up weighing myself 6 hours earlier than usual, plus I pigged out on a stromboli I can't regret last night. So it's not huge shock I went up a bit. I will do better next week. I've signed up for three exercise classes this week, and I…

I have been a Noom subscriber, and it used to be helpful, but they cheaped down the support available. Instead of actual human coaches, you now go through the learning course provided with the machine "cheering" you on, instead of having someone to ask questions of. It's basically like reading a weight loss book with…

Sunday check in! I forgot how to do this, so correct me if I mess up? PW: 216.5 CW: 215.6

Hi folks! Glad to be back. Vanished longer than I intended to, originally.

I'm Morenin N'Tal on Fitbit!

I have historical food insecurity (food stamps, food banks, and a garden were the only sources of food during most of my childhood on welfare), fourth generation of that on my mother's side (the previous three generations just didn't get paid enough for their work). I'm finally learning to climb out of food hoarding, now…

@trooworld @Katmary71 I'm really sorry, but my cousin may be dying, and she no longer has the ability to do even the most basic self-care without someone at least watching. As the youngest unemployed person in the house, most of her care is falling to me. I need to go on inactive for at least a month. I can weigh in on…

Unfortunately, I need to step back from even an Easy version of this. My cousin/housemate is needing a lot of care right now, and as her default caretaker, I need to focus on her.

Day 1! I am reducing the amount of water I will be drinking back down to 8-12 cups though. I was living in the bathroom with 16.

I'm doing any easy version of this I think. My life's a little too overloaded to try harder. Diet- Going to try and get produce back into my diet by adding at least two servings a day. I also am going to aim for keeping to or under my calorie, sodium, and sugar goals each day. Water- I'm already drinking 8-12 cups of water…
